Subs are up now.
I liked it. Had to resort to a backup stream to watch it live but it's a fun episode. It has the advantage over Gaim in that neither series is in that big of a continuing plot right now (there is the Chaser thing going on but that isn't really as urgent as what Gaim had interrupted) so that helped it from the start. The idea of a sealing shuriken and a viral core combining was a very good one, and the Shocker twist was a perfect way to tie it into the movie. There were a few problems with it (doing the villain-robot gag again, the fact that they immediately start fighting on seeing each other) but I liked seeing the characters meeting and making it explicitly a universe-travel thing helps with continuity. |

Is it at least better than the Gaim/ToQ crossover? That was so damn dreadful I'm not sure I want to even watch this.

P/s: This episode should have aired last week because of delaying of Ninninger, so don't bother with Gou being able to transform |

I think it handled the two shows a bit better in my opinion. Though I wish there was more interaction from the other Niningers

I would definitely say this crossover was better than the Gaim/ToQ one. Much more explainable, a little less overly complex. Timing could have been a little better, and the whole "I'm on your side" bit was drawn out to fill in the hour.
That actually brings up a good point. Is Gaim now so over the top that if he's placed into anything, it's like a plot god mode where nothing can touch it? Just noticed how he's not part of the movie wars Grand Prix. Then again, that actually gives more screen time to my favorites like OOO and Blade. How many times can Shocker come back? As a belt? Really? Wake me up when they bring him back through his underpants. The only Heavy Pressure then would be the fart noises. SMH. I get it, they've run out of Heisei era Riders to make the old school fans moon over, so they're just going to regurgitate new ones, put them into old Heisei uniforms, and call them by number. I'm not sure whether to be insulted or not, but since I live in a country where regurgitation of original ideas is considered the norm, I'll just have to accept it. Five episodes in, and I'm tired of Takaharu. Is that bad?

He is.
He endured the time-alterations of Shocker do to his Overlord-abilities. In the movie he enters the Grand Prix disguised as "Shocker Gaim" and helps the other Riders to combat Shocker. He get's taken out by Rider 3 alongside Double, this scene can be seen during the credits of the spring special. |

Soooo Tomari fights body stealing androids that slows down time, yet he finds the idea of spandex wearing modern day Ninja obsured?
You'd think that after all the crazy shit he's been through he'd learn to keep an open mind. |
