sorry to the megiddo actors but I don't think they're very good. Legiel and Zooos interaction at the beginning :/
Actually that's the acting of everyone this week that was a bit too much, and the many shots at everyone's faces. Funny Mei always finding the bed of the injured empty :'D I hope it becomes a recurring gag. I like Dragonic Knight form. I don't know why, I thought it was bulkier, but no. I like it that way. so everything is set up for kento to become Calibur now. But I wonder how it will be explained after such a final discussion between characters. I hope the memory loss card is not played again. |

Okay so I compared the DX toy jingle with the in-show henshin and I realised that for some reason they had Dragonic Knight's debut jingle overlap the normal jingle (the overlying narration) with the dragon summoning announcement (the choir part).
Makes my complaint about the overlapping jingles redundant, and I'm more than happy for that, but BOY did it confuse me for a bit. What on earth, I swear my ears are playing tricks on me. Should probably stop listening to music with earphones at full blast.

Honestly this episode has it all. Drama. Emotion. Comedy kept to an appropriate level. Not much to complain about.
Though like everyone else, I wonder what the truth behind the Ankokuken Kurayami is. |

I'll say this right now: I'm going to be angry if Touma turns into one of those Riders who only ever uses his upgrade forms from here on out. I see regular ol' Brave Dragon in the preview, which is a good sign; Saber has been quite good about about getting the default forms in there despite all the Books already in the show. But what I'm more concerned about is Touma losing his unique storyteller fighting style in favor of just hitting things hard. The scenes of him trying out random side forms and doing weird special attacks, I love those. It's something unique to Saber and the variety it adds is a lot of fun. When have you seen a Kamen Rider get used as a sword by a giant robot before?
Dragonic Knight is pretty traditional in its execution, by comparison, but at least for the purposes of this particular episode, I did quite like it. It's a well directed fight scene, and Ishida even got to tell somebody to light something on fire, so you know it's good! The end bit where Saber fights Calibur in the form a purple ball of light is maybe a letdown, admittedly (could he not just have had five dragons or something cool?), but overall, it's a strong first impression. Hopefully, at the very least, they do creative and cool things with the not-Dragvisor's ability to read the existing Books though. I know I'm harping on about this, but it's just... there was a really awesome shiny silver form for the main Rider in the last show that got old quick for me, and I'd like not to feel that way about another one. In terms of the story for this episode, it's not doing anything I didn't expect, but I thought it was quite solid... right up until the end, where it did something I didn't expect and impressed me a little more. Again, Kento is absolutely going to be fine in the long-run (him and Touma have a promise to keep!), but I do like that there was some legitimate, immediate consequence to him rushing out to get beat up by Calibur three times in as many episodes. It added a nice bit of weight to the story, and helped ease some of the repetition of how many swordsmen have been out there heroically throwing themselves on the line lately. And it's seriously like everybody in this one. Daishinji chills at the base the whole time like the nerd he is, but for the rest of Sword of Logos, it's a whole lot of bruised makeup and laying on the ground making dramatic proclamations through gritted teeth. I don't hate it! It's all got extremely great direction (of course), and these actors deliver their lines with appropriate conviction. Funnily enough, the most legitimately emotional moment in the episode for me was actually when Rintarou did the homo-sapiens thing again. Struck a really good balance of heartwarming and chuckle-worthy. Sometimes it's the little things that count for the most.

This still isn't doing much for me; the most I got was that Dragonic Knight was an awesome jingle. And it's a really awesome jingle! I don't think we've ever had anything that sounds so... so medieval, before? It's so sick.
I also kinda like that Calibur floated away in a glowy ball, and it looks like it's gonna be the standard villain-gets-away-and-the-hero-doesn't-try-and-chase-him thing, but then Touma just hits his book three times and shoots him down with a dragon. That was a great fight!

I liked the Rintaro moment too but that's "typical Rintaro", that's his gimmick to be the nicest guy in the world, so we're going to have this kind of moment a lot through the show. But seeing everyone say a word to Kento's "final" speech like "I promise/count on us/let us handle this" and then Ren who can only spout wheezes and tears. Contrasting with his usual self confidence and cheerful attitude. Urgh. It hurts. Considering his dedicated spin-off events + his model/hero is gone, that guy might go through a dark arc soon. |

May is prolly the long term Espada.
I always wondered why the closing scene always show the yellow blue and red sword but May is the one dancing. Finally it made sense now. |

Yeah, Ren there's... a surprising amount to read into, and I have to say that he and Daishinji are my favourites right now.
