They really put a focus on Kazumi's death. It got as close as you can to a perfect death in 20 minutes. The Itsumi betrayal was fairly expected, but another death wasn't. All the character's actors portrayed it really well, apart from Sento imo. The next episode trailer hints at Gentoku dying as well. I really hope they don't pull a W and revive all of them, it just takes away the dramatic effect for me.

Technically in Ex-Aid, only Kiriya was the first to be fully brought back to being human in the end. Parad, Poppy and Dan doesn't fully count as they are not human, right?

Misora really sold the scene with Kazumin. You can really feel her sadness and despair.
And I loved that touch at the end when all you can hear is the wind whistling while everybody takes in Kazumins death. Then Evolt casually walks up and says 'sup. Next week they're hinting at Gentoku's demise as well. I wonder if they'll kill Sawa too and just leave Sento, Banjou and Misora?

Man, this just gutted me. Me and a lot of my friends lost a loved one 10 months ago and these reactions were pretty much identical to ours. We didn't even the usual banter at the preview, the barbecue scene really was the calm before the storm

When Takeda Kouhei was announced as Kazumin's actor, I was overjoyed because I loved him as Otoya. Can't believe Toei did this to me again. He better not return in Zi-O as an evil counterpart of Kazumin

Well this is probably about the most depressing episode of Rider I've seen in a very long time...
And I love just to undermine how evil Evolt is, after everybody despairs over Kazumi's death, Evolt just walks up like "How you guys doin'? " They also explained one of the bigger plotholes of the season in showing that Utsumi is, in fact, a cyborg (which, if I'm not mistaken, makes him the first actual cyborg rider since the Showa Era, right? Only one that comes close is Chase, but he's more of an android)

I like how on multiple occasions during the recaps they were joking that Utsumi had to be a robot because there's no other way he could have survived before the idea gets dismissed.
Then it turns out that he IS actually a robot.

Poor, poor Kazumin. I never thought I would like him after how much I hated Otoya in Kiva, but he was truly a great character and went out in a blaze of glory. I know there is a pretty high chance he will just get revived (I hope not), but the impact of this episode was huge. I loved the scene where all of the Build cast was just grieving and in shock, and you could hear nothing but the wind blowing. Looks like Gentoku and hell knows who else is getting taken down next episode.
The little meta reference that Utsumi is actually a cyborg was kind of amazing though.

I swear, Amazons was lighter hearted than Build has become. Definitely killed off less major characters. Not complaining, just surprised at how dark this series got
