Unpopular opinion, but i don’t see Saikou is the secondary rider. I see him as the ‘6th ranger’, the new hero who show up later and take the highlight for a moment

It's not unpopular. It's just a running joke that people treat Saikou as the secondary rider considering how much screentime he has, how much he compliments with Touma's dynamic, and having a really being a solid partner to the main rider while Rintarou was spent most of his time brooding in the Southern Base.
It's not really a "take the highlight for a moment" when Yuri spent a majority of Q2 as the defacto partner for Touma. |

DOUBLE RIDER KICK!!!
Okay, enough of that, this was a good episode. Rintaro really grew this episode, strengthening his friendship with Touma, and solidifying him as a part of the group, which is great, because he's been lacking spotlight for a while. Touma and Rintaro had a duel untransformed, which is something I was hoping to see this season, and I wasn't disappointed. Then they had a very W scene, where they were heading into battle, side-by-side, and Touma slipping his hat on, just gave me that nostalgia. Great to see King Lion Dai Senki get one last good win before his new form debuts. And looks like Master Logos and Storius are in cahoots, which doesn't surprise me. Kento starting to see that the future can be changed, meaning we might see him return soon. Next week: IT'S A RAID! And Blades' new form debuts, and it is beautiful. |

I gotta be honest, I've just totally lost track of where everyone is.
I kinda forgot that Yuri has been missing. Where is Buster? I think the last we saw of Ren he got into a fight with Touma and then ran away somewhere? And Kento has just been creepily watching people fight. Mei dropped the Key which I also forgot about- we don't know exactly what it is right? Is that the key to the Northern Base and how Logos will gain access to it in the upcoming episodes? Things have been personally hectic for me recently so it's not all Saber's fault, but I don't think I've ever been this lost in a Rider show. The fights and action are still good. I really wanted to like Rintaro more, but he's mostly been a sad boy for so long. This far along into the season, I feel confident in saying that Saber, while fun, won't be going anywhere near my top Rider seasons. I know it's not over yet, but I can't see how it could significantly improve at this point. There's just too many characters for my personal liking. I felt this way about Gaim (though it never felt this disjointed) which is why I don't love that series as much as so many others. Build had the right number of characters for a "team" series.
