I guess it feels like they're trying to pull so many plot twists this late in the game that they're reaching Shaymalan levels, in addition to the normal plots they still have to resolve (White Wizard not being entirely good, whatever the hell Gremlin is up to, a 3rd wizard, and everything concerning Wiseman since we can't keep a scene on him longer than 3 minutes).
For the most part it's constructed well enough visually to care but from a story point I couldn't really give a monkeys. The show does nothing to elicit any fucks from me.

I guess I just have to hope that it doesn't seem like they're going to rush the plots for the remaining episodes at this point.
Oh well. I'm just thankful for Mayu/Mage. After Movie War Ultimatum, I wasn't sure how they'd handle another female Rider. Now, if she can just survive the entire series...

Man, when Wizard wants to do a good episode it really does a good episode. Here's hoping it holds out until the very end now.

At some point, Toei is going to make the kid playing Yuzuru either a member of a Sentai team or a full-fledged Kamen Rider. He's shown up too many times now not to get a feature role at some point.
The Wizard/Beast double-henshin scene was awesome. I also loved the old school quarry setting. Dirt quarries like this one were one of the main settings for a lot of the old 70s and 80s Rider battles. |

Excellent episode for obvious reasons. I would like to see no more filler from this point on, just advancing the plot until the finale.
Mage's costume is growing on me, but I cannot fathom the reasoning behind the giant claw. I also wonder how Mayu was able to switch rings without the help of her left hand. Since the claw was pretty useless during the battle with Medusa I would like to know why the claw's there at all.

Since the claw was pretty useless during the battle with Medusa I would like to know why the claw's there at all. Like, I'm serious. I'm pretty positive that's the purpose of the claw. Conversation probably went like this: "Why doesn't Haruto just share the base form rings to make Mage Hurricane/Land/Water/Fire?" "...Good question. Give it a giant claw on the right hand and permanently affix the ring there so we don't have to make a new costume." Granted, I'd love to eat my words and see Mage in different forms, but I'm pretty sure the ultimate purpose of the claw is to prevent it.

I figure it's in the White Wizard's interest to limit "his" wizards' form-changing and power growth (he didn't seem very happy with Haruto's power evolution.) and ensure that however strong they were, he'd have control over them.
So . . .what do we think is the endgame, here? I have a theory: I'm thinking Wiseman was trying to generate enough mana for a Sabbat, but the White Wizard is going to attempt to wipe out all present and future Phantoms at the new Sabbat. |

Mage not only is the simplified mass production version of Wizard, it is also making use the Phantom inside the person. An equivalent of Wizard Dragon Style. The spikes on the shoulders, tail, and the big claw works just like Wizard All Dragon's dragon head, wings, tail and claws. |

Who wants to bet that White Wizard and Wiseman are the same person?
