With subs, Tassel says that Kurayami was "ONE of the TWO initial swords made".
Does that mean there's a light-element sword? Tassel also mentions that he has to go and meet him too. Is he gonna leave his chair once and for all? Last edited by TheRaizin; 11-15-2020 at 08:34 AM.. |

I'm disappointed that Calibur being sent twirling into the air in last week's preview turned out not be by the heroes sending him flying, but by a random blast from [whichever general that was]. The theme song was all set to play with all of them facing the camera as Calibur hits the ground, but alas!
I know the location itself is a toei toku staple but... I can't help but laugh a little, because it wasn't that long ago in Kiramager when our heroes came together in order to deliver their first decisive victory against their most troublesome recurring foe (who also happened to be purple) and now here is Saber doing the same thing, in the same place no less. Oh yeah, the episode itself is cool. Calibur's identity is revealed but he's still cryptic and vague about everything. Will this change once he uses Dangerous Zom- I mean, Jaou Dragon next week....? Probably not :P |

Huh. Genuinely thought it'd be Tassel. Cool!
The Wonder Combos next to each other are... oh boy. I think that's more garrish than most final forms. That was supposed to be a really cool moment, of all three full Wonder Combos standing up to our main antagonist; but it's one of the tackiest things I've ever seen. What interests me more right now though is Reika, especially with the reveal that the Southern base has its own Riders. The way she's skulking about is very similar to Gai's earlier appearances, so... it's got me wondering.

I think what's got me interested is the Southern Base is fighting their own fight. So does that mean we'll be getting a shake up as well with Southern Megid members showing up?
Overall a pretty fun episode, a lot more angst with Kento, and things are slowly starting to come together. Curious to see when we'll see the Sword of Light, because that totally has to be the second of the two swords first made. Also uh oh, seems like Tassel is starting to make his move. Allegedly. |

I'm so glad I was able to find a new place to watch the RAW this week! I was prepared to wait a few days for the sub, which is what I've been doing since Episode 3, but I would have been in so much suspense to learn Calibur's secret identity.
I think his reason for betraying is more interesting than his identity though. It's not like Daichi is an active member of the team, like "Souichi" was in Build. He has only spoke a few lines in flashbacks so the revelation is more surprising for the characters than us and the real mystery is instead: Why? Despite how little we know about him, he was a good guy in the past. His affiliation may have changed but I definitely think he's an antivillain. Whatever Hayato told him, it must have been something pretty terrible for both of them to turn against SOL. Storius. He creates Megids from stories. It's in his name. That was my original prediction until Calibur showed that picture of himself with Hayato and Sophia. Now I think Tassel is an even greater villain.

It's a good thing Kento is doing his angsty best to keep this show feeling like Kamen Rider, because I have to admit, when Saber, Blades, and Espada are all rocking forms that emphasize their primary colors to that degree, it becomes a lot harder to deny the whole Sentai vibe. It also helps that the details on those suits are so absurdly overdone. I know it's tacky, but I won't lie; I kind of love it. Saber's overall suit design concept was "complexity" specifically to contrast with Zero-One's focus on simplicity, and ever since reading that, I've gained a real appreciation for what the aesthetics of the show are doing. I've said stuff like this about Saber before, but, again, this is The Crazy Year, as far as I'm concerned. At this point I want Saber's final form to be so gaudy and bulky he can't even move, because that kind of over the top intensity is what's making the show so much fun for me.
And this one is pretty intense! It felt like part one to the usual "season finale" that precedes the obligatory New Year's break, except that's presumably still coming after this. I'm enjoying all this momentum a ton. Calibur being revealed as the most obvious possible suspect might've been disappointing, but I think the show is already being smart by framing the weight of it more around how that affects the characters, rather than the audience. Just as Kento was starting to come to grips with the horrible truth, he gets yet another horrible truth to throw him into emotional turmoil. It's great. The episode emphasizes the bond between the three main Riders, showing them reaching their greatest heights yet of power and teamwork, specifically to pull the rug out from under them at the end. It's solid drama that's got me excited about what's next, and it's all backed up by more delicious Sakamoto action. This was a good episode.

Something I liked about the post-reveal conversation is that I was totally expecting this to lift a weight off of Kento's shoulders, that it wasn't his dad doing this all along; and I would have been fine with that... but then Daichi just says "yeah no dude your dad's still a dick". Love that!

It could just be my inner garo fan talking (specifically the original in this case), but does anyone else think southern base might be up to no good?

This is smelling more and more like a Rider War season per episode.
