I wonder how they'll manage to hype up any of the further upgrades after this. Decade Armor was disappointing, but Zi-O 2 already feels stronger than most previous final forms.

Is it wrong that I like the Zio-II armor more than most of the other suits? Even with the goofy face saber, I think it works more cohesively as an armor. Even the transformation while split just appears better than the first form. It's also on the same level of playing field as what we had with Gaim Kachidoki Arms. Plus it just pissed off White Woz which makes me happy.

Wow that henshin for Z-io 2 was impressive. Another Ryuga couter mirror was smash. Geiz got hurt and collapse but Z-io 2 turn back time into the past. Black Woz was hype to have Sougo getting closer to becoming Ohma Zi-o. The Ryuki arc wrap up great this was my favorite ep of Zi-o so far. Hype to see Ryuki again in the special next month.

It's odd the other two isn't getting one or perhaps woz Galaxy guy. Anyway, usually older toku actors find less success or get called out of retirement for a guest appearance will star in toku after 15 years. Oddly, I don't find ryuki as active as the rest in csm promotion or taisen, but he gets a possible full length mini movie sequel to his series.
Plus, Ryuki is arguably the series that changed Kamen Rider forever. None of the gimmicks, and just Rider gimmicks but also Super Sentai and Ultraman wouldn't exist if it weren't for Ryuki so I guess Toei wanted to pay tribute to their biggest game changer. Also because Ryuki's actor is free, so he has time to make a special.

I can't wait to see the spin-off and hopefully it explains some things, but overall I was very pleased with the Ryuki tribute.
It introduced the power-up using concepts from Ryuki and that's just phenomenal. Zi-O 2's debut did not take away from the Ryuki elements at all. Again, visually and auditory-wise this was a trip down memory-lane. Amazing use of mirrors in the cinematography. The sound effects were nostalgic and the locations doubly so. The place Zi-O 2 defeats Another Ryuga is the same location where Knight fought Scissors. Interesting character motivations and surprisingly good acting from Sougo's actor made for good drama this episode, and the short segment of Shinji in his home was great. And I couldn't stop smiling at the end when Shinji and Okubo finally reunited. That was something straight out of the original Ryuki. Now hopefully the spin-off can bring Ren/Knight back and I will be a happy Ryuki fanboy. Oh and Zi-O 2 himself looks great in action! That big sword finisher was impressive. |

Nice fight and alternate persona acting, but the logic/rules of this series is so messy. Kikaider/zamigo is Back. |

That's because Ryuki is one of the series that people wondered hwo the hell Ryuki still has his powers even though the TV show ended with a reset button, and Zi-O basically said Episode Final is the new canon, and the miniseries will probably help to piece it all together.
