Let's just hope the apparent budget cutting on this show latter half means we would get amazing second reiwa rider.
Also Aruto is the classic POV character used as main character, and the side characters can develop better. This happens all the time in KR and anime. Heck, Ryuki DIED in his own show, letting Knight to be the winner. Also many things can move forward as consequences of Aruto's actions: his willingness to treat Humagears as equal as humans, catering to their dreams and hopes, make the development in other characters happen. Heck even Jin. The only character that don't have development so far are Jin and Gai, and their views of Humagears never change because they don't look into Aruto's visions of them. |

Well, that was enjoyable. It continues the trend of "the payoff is awesome, but it rings hollow because the setup was mediocre" that's seemed to plague Zero-One so much lately. Kinda the opposite of Aruto's jokes!
Still, that punch was extremely cathartic. Most of what I'd say has already been said, but I'll add to the griping about the Horseshoe Crab mooks. IIRC, the whole point was that their progrise key was mass-produced, and we know for a fact that more than two exist. So why is Gai not dispatching whole squads of them!? Like that AIMS fireteam that was there in the first couple episodes. And since they're fully in control, unlike the hacked HumaGear footsoldiers, they could use organized tactics and switch up their strategies to actually be an interesting challenge to Aruto. But just the two of them, just standing there and shooting, is so, so dull. I mean, seeing the various other Raider suits again and in interesting combinations as others here have suggested would also be awesome. But dang, I wish the footsoldiers acted like actual soldiers instead of like extra-generic monsters. |

Uhhh what was the point of Horshoe Crab attacking Yua at the van? That one was weirdly paced.
In a perfect world this could've been a perfect episode to have Valkyrie obtaining a new form, it has all the beats for it. I still hope that she will use the Fighting Jackal key for her Rider form. Also this should be reserved for the next episode, but I am loving Yua's new look!

I really liked this episode. Yua got redemption, Fuwa gets cooler with each episode.
I truly have started seeing Fuwa as the 'real' Rider of the show. His whole story reminds me a lot of the Showa era Riders and I like that a lot. Yua, "then I guess I'll just shoot you in the face" finishing move was great. As was her 'Letter of Resignation.' The story arc with the tennis coach I could take or leave, I don't really think it added anything to the episode. I guess it gave Izu a funny 'wide-eyed' moment, but that's about it. She's a pretty adorable character. Can't remember a Rider show that had anyone before I would consider adorable. Maybe Akiko from 'W', but she was more like a main character really and not so much (to me) a sidekick. |

I still don't know why the fuck Gai gave Aruto a powerup that would make him more powerful than Thouser
dude was clowning Aruto on a weekly basis in battle AND stealing his business. just take the W, man.

*TN - Keikaku means plan. (I mean, Metal Cluster Hopper would have done a great job either stopping Aruto transforming, or tanking his public reputation, if Izu and Enji hadn't grown souls. Why he made it so powerful, umm... will of the Ark? Considering how much it hates Gai, maybe it both hates Gai, and made the Metal Cluster Hopper key, maybe it did it so *it* could kick his ass? I'm guessing here.)

Technically, Thouser isn't entirely powerless against Metal Cluster Hopper.
Back during episode 24, Thouser revealed that his "Thousand Break" finisher actually can overwhelm Metal Cluster's defenses:https://youtu.be/JqP-2IUxCKk?t=84 Why doesn't he spam it against Metal Cluster more often...? Well I assume it's the same reason why Aruto and Fuwa don't just kill him whenever he rolls up these days. |

Didn't Gai also distribute the Rampage Gatling Progrise key? It's very silly to me that he is his own reason for why hes losing now.
