You know, I like this show, but it would be 1000% (heh) better with a more unique villain. Like, Gai is just evil. That's it. I feel like everything interesting and great in this show happens when he's not in frame. That doesn’t mean that he's forgettable, it’s his actions that set things up and the hate he accumulated will forever make him the "guy" everyone loves to hate.
Case in point: Him appearing in this episode and being "I'm evil and you’re my tools" was the usual boring shtick. The resulting catwalk with Izu and Aruto and Naki's struggle for a dream were excellent. They only came to be because Gai was a douchebag, but Gai himself plays no role in these scenes. I really wish Gai was handled better. More cracks in his facade, more insanity showing through, maybe set up a motive that gives him at least some redeeming factor the audiences can identify with. Because as people pointed out in other episode discussion posts, he's not wrong. HumaGear as they are now are terribly deadly and dangerous. Yes, because humanity pushes them to, but the best course of action, realistically, would be to shut them all down. Did he set this shit up by letting the Ark browse 4chan? Absolutely. Did he push everything to the extreme to get people to hate the HumaGear? Positive. Was he wrong with them being dangerous to humanity? Debatable. I in no shape or form dislike this show. It makes me happy every single weak. I never was disappointed with a single episode. But sometimes I wonder if this couldn't have been handled in a better way, Gai as a character specifically.

I just hope Naki's chip will be transferred out of Fuwa's body and into a new one. Make Naki her own rider!

Considering Assault Wolf was used I think Naki'll just use Assault Wolf if they get seperated from Fuwa, and Assault Wolf is like, top 3 Zero One suit, so Naki not getting a new suit wouldn't be a waste

I'd rather Naki keep Assault Wolf and make it their own than get some dodgy kitbashed form. Unless, you know, the dodgy kitbased form is very good.

Once again Fuwa proves himself to be the 'real' Kamen Rider of this show. Aruto continues to be grating and annoying. Izu rocked the runaway. |

- Naki's arc might've been rushed, but it's honestly better than I would've expected, which was "Naki gets taken out of Fuwa with little to no fanfare, joins MetsubouJinrai again, has no real arc of their own at all". This way they actually get a real awesome moment of their own and get their own opportunity to tell Gai to shove it.
- I thought at first that Delmo would be portrayed as a "pretty but kinda stupid" sorta character, but I'm glad that ultimately she was portrayed as inspiring. That her standing up to Naki/Fuwa/Fuwaki didn't just end in her being attacked but instead ultimately helped Naki to reach singularity. - I'm glad that Yua's finally going to stand up to Gai next episode, but it feels like it would've been better if there wasn't an entire arc and change of her just being a lackey for Gai, having 'nam flashbacks when someone says the word "tool", and forgetting that she's a Rider. I'm not excited so much as I am thinking "Finally..." |

Yua, when someone says tool one too many times:
Yeah, Ikazuchi looks pretty decent, yeah. Tbh, most kitbashes look fine, there's a reason Toei does them, but Assault Wolf is also the best Zero-One suit and I'd like if that got to stick around once it's fully replaced with Rampage.

It absolutely was not intentional. It's a very normal thing a lot of women have - it's to encourage blood circulation in the face.
