Man it feels the show doesn't have enough budget to do Grand Zi-O justice after that amazing debut.

It was a pretty good episode. Seeing Another Drive have its own Another Tridoron was cool. And the fact that it was a Roidmude too.
Who would have thought we'd get an Eternal vs Aqua fight before Zi-O? Maybe in fan-fiction? But it was great to watch. When they got in the water I thought Aqua should definitely have the advantage but Eternal held his own. And now we have an angry Sougo. It wasn't as brutal as when Godai went to town with that one Grongi when he got really pissed off but I'll take it. Tsukasa actually still having his powers surprised me to be honest. I should have seen that one coming. I forgot that his dimension-hoping powers aren't exactly tied to his rider powers. Or was it? I don't remember. Next week Shiro Woz returns. Bring it.

In hindsight, instead of Eternal being able to beat Aqua out of the water just because he's Eternal, it would have been much cooler and better if he used one of his twenty-six T2 memories to pull it off. Cyclone would have done the same trick as he did in the actual episode.

Kinda surprised that Swartz didn't try to trap Aqua in an Another World to make Poseidon. Seemed like a perfect idea to me.
Also, this is another 3-parter. I can only assume the last stretch will be another one; so we've gotten three 3-parters in a row. Huh. If that's Swartz's plan - and it's kind of awesome - then I wonder how Fuma and Dark Ghost feel about all this. G4, Rey and Eternal were all kind of assholes but Fuma and Dark Ghost had, uh, goals? Things they were doing what they did for? |

So, I finally watched it with subs.
A lot happens in this episode. Basically, Schwartz summons Dark Riders/Movie Riders from Another Realities/Another Worlds ( A.R uh uh uh) by pulling people into their own personal worlds. Aqua is really an interesting fellow, I really dig his Henshin and he really seems to be a cool dude. So Aqua and Tsuku are from the same world. In the end, Ora is just Ora...I thought she was Roidmude 108 aswell but probably not because I thought that the Roidmude number didn't get destroyed but it did. I fear there will be no redemption for her. I know Heure is kinda bland but I liked that guy, in the end he was just a poor lost soul. I wonder what kind of "world" is Geiz's. The BGM from Decade was a nice throwback and made me want to watch Decade all over again ( and I'm doing it but...bleh...I think I'll have to explain my feelings towards this series in Another Thread) I really really don't like Sougo being mad, but if we could have something as agressive as Kuuga it might be interesting. I'm thinking that all of that is a manipulation from Schwartz, I think he is attempting to trigger something. Also...White Woz....ho boy I hated him, I can't wait to see him being roasted by our Woz. Well anyway, it was a good episode. |

Hey everyone, guess what time it is!
Geez, Zi-O, it's not Christmas. You didn't have to get me a present. Although I'm definitely not going to say no to Another Drive coming with an evil Tridoron. We got an evil Den-Liner in Heisei Generations Forever too, and considering Drive and Den-O are pretty undeniably the Heisei Riders most strongly associated with their rides, I'm glad they both got this treatment. Even if I really would've loved to see Another Kuuga going around chopping buildings up with the front wheel of a giant CG Try-Chaser. It's hard to get too greedy when this episode is packed with so much awesome crap happening. Just to cover the other obvious thing that everyone else has already mentioned, the fact that we got an episode of Kamen Rider where Eternal and Aqua face off is just wonderful. I especially appreciate that Aqua doesn't just get curbstomped on account of being nowhere near as popular. Zi-O has inexplicably decided to give the guy his due, and I'm really enjoying that. The fanservice doesn't even stop there. Tsukasa giving a short dramatic speech, complete with the return of what I firmly consider to be one of the absolute most memorable, iconic pieces of background music in Rider history was cool, and while the twist with the Paradox Roidmude was neat, I actually liked Tsukasa still having his weird dimensional powers or whatever you wanna call them more. This is another one of those Go-Rider level bits of cleverness from Shimoyama, where in this case, he took the fact that Decade as a series had no rules, and turns it into a plot point that Tsukasa learned how to do that at some point (He's been entering and leaving crossovers this way since Chou Den-O and Decade with no explanation), and that there's no reason to assume that was an ability he had because he was Decade. It's a great moment, and it's very, very Tsukasa to not even be slightly inconvenienced by or upset about losing his Rider powers. Most of the larger plot stuff happening, I'll hold off on for the next episode, but I definitely felt properly sorry for Uhr. He's had my sympathy ever since the Kikai episodes. It's a similar deal to Uva in OOO, where even though he's just as much of a jerk as his pals, I can't help but pity him for how he constantly draws the short straw. So the drama with him here landed perfectly for me, and it even let them pull one of my favorite tricks this show does with Geiz and Sougo talking about him at the start smoothly flowing into them talking about each other. I love it. Props for Grand Zi-O actually doing Drive's Rider Kick, too. It's still not totally what I'm after, but it's a lot better than what we've been getting.
