I agree, other wise the fight that's obviously going to happen between Jin and Haruka won't have as much going for it, especially if one of them is just reduced to a berserk monster at that point, rather than Haruka blaming Jin for killing Mamoru, even if there was no other alternative.

Ok, some REALLY awesome spots here...I like the "Game Over Man" reference, very Aliens vibe from this episode. The Violent Punish...ok that reminded me of Kamen Rider X, but in a muuuuuch more brutal way. And I have to agree with the Garo level of badassery here.

Mamoru wears an armlet and the eyes are blue, so he still gets medicine and it still keeps his Amazon cells in check. Of course not all Amazon go crazy when they don’t take medicine, Jin can control his Amazon side and he isn’t wearing an armlet. Last edited by Kiwami; 05-04-2016 at 02:00 PM.. |

You missed that, the weird secretary guy explained it to the exterminators in episode 2: It's the armlet the Amazons wear, the one inspired by Amazon’s GiGi Armlet. It automatically injects the medicine which keeps a human being infected with Amazon cells from going berserk. In this state, the eyes of the armlet are blue. The Amazon cells slowly start becoming resistant against the medicine though, so after a while it doesn't work anymore and the Amazons go rouge. In this state the eyes of the armlet are red.

Man, each episode is just shorter than the last. It's been kind of marginal for the last three episodes, but it's still lower. Really hope the trend stops.
Good episode though. Haruka is finding his way, some intriguing shenanigans with the Amazons of the week...not a lot of Jin this ep tho. |

I liked this episode, even if it still insists on trying to make Haruka's sister a thing. Haruka is continuing to develop as a character and the plot in general is moving along nicely. I really loved the plot with the bus. That is such a classic Showa Rider set-up: bus full of passengers goes into a tunnel, comes out the other side empty. I forget which early Rider show did that (I'm sure it was either X or Stronger - possibly both, actually), but I know I've seen it before.

I liked the episode, but I kinda fear that I know what this is building up to: Haruka has to transform in front of his sister who then gets afraid of him and the awkwardness of him trying to tell her that he isn't a monster even though he kinda is follows suit. That's a plot I have seen a dozen times in Rider already. But maybe they can make this more interesting. Or just make Haruka's sister a bit more understanding than the usual female secondary characters. I'm interested to see how this goes, and also how the subplot with Jin moves forward. The teaser for the next episode casually dropped that he became an Amazon by choice... interesting. |

I've notice Haruka's Amazon form transformation says evolution but Jin's doesn't. Do you think we could get Alpha evolution later on in the show?
