Damn, I'm loving this show. I really like the dynamic that the four main Riders have with all of them basically being in this thing for themselves. It was so much fun seeing them all working together for the first time, even if they were stepping all over each others' toes. I'm sure we'll eventually hit a point where they really can operate as a team, but I like that the show is in no hurry to get there. As much as I like the action, the main thing I'm really turning in for at this point is the character interactions.

Another good episode, but not too good at all. The part that I really loved to see how Emu conflicted with himself and got better after it. I really liked the part that he isn't a "Genius Gamer", he is just a normal cocky boy. Not only that, love to see Asuna finally contributed a bit for the story and as Poppi, she isn't as annoying as before and more helpful. The action was top notch too despite being quite out of context in the first battle. And am I the only who laughed when seeing Lazer's antics in his battle? Man, I have to say Kiriya makes every battle much livelier with his over the top personality and it's really fun to see, especially when he was almost roasted by Ex-Aid. The final touch on Hiiro in this episode was very nice too, something that really good for a character who kinda a bit shoved off.
As everyone said, I don't agree Graphite dies so easily and so fast like this. His death is pretty anticlimatic, particularly due to Hiiro's words in the end and Taiga didn't even express anything after killing Graphite. Even if they want to kill Graphite, I really want to make it more memorable and Graphite is more contributing much more in these few episodes. Also, Emu's method for the others to use DKHZ Gashat was......quite weird. I mean the whole context felt like Emu was trolling the whole Riders and I, for once instance, agree with Kiriya in this case. Due to this also, the gimmick of DKHZ was quite confusing but I think they will establish it later.Still, Emu's split personality was a nice touch too and I didn't expect it would be so crucial in the story. |

I definitely agree. Or at least they could have like, tried to make the story in which he is defeated more about him? This was his last episode but he pretty much just showed up for a short scene early on to say his usual lines and then gets summoned to die. If they really wanted to get him out of the show this early at least make it a more notable exit, you know?
I could change my tune here if they do something interesting with his absence, but it just seems a little crazy to me they killed off a recurring villain for what probably could've just been another MotW plot. The only thing that was accomplished here was Emu getting the Riders to work together, and he didn't even really do that. Graphite, Brave, and Snipe really should've been the focus of an episode where Graphite dies but instead all three of them were bit players this week. This probably won't surprise anyone but I disagree. I mean, Saionji wasn't a fighter in the first place, and he at least got to execute his whole master plan that resulted in a whole bunch of Plot stuff happening. And even though it backfired on him, he still got pretty much the entire cast of the show to play right into his hands. Comparatively, Graphite was just doing a slightly larger scale version of the same thing as always.

Much like everyone else it seems, I really liked the fighting dynamic with everyone at Lvl 5. It felt like New Super Mario Bros with everyone pushing each other out of the way to fight Graphite. Also, even though it felt like Emu got depressed way too fast about not being able to unite the riders (seriously, what reaction were you expecting?), his plan to get them together again was pretty cool.
I'm just really enjoying this freaking show, even though I haven't been posting that much. Curse you, lurker instincts!

Also, I forgot to mention it, but I loved the bit where the chief couldn't remember how to pronounce Poppy's last name. That same thing happens to me every damn time I try it, too. |

REALLY loved this week's Episode of Ex-Aid, the amount of clever writing by Toei this week has been WOW. First off, the Episode went pretty much how I figured, with none of the Riders even wanting to help each other. I've said this before, but I REALLY love the character dynamics this show has. Emu doesn't like any of the others due to how they treat operations without consideration of the patient, and mainly distrusts Kiriya. Hiiro dislikes Emu's naivety, hates Taiga for not helping save Saki, and distrusts Kiriya. Taiga is simply a loose cannon & doesn't care for anyone else. Kiriya is also the same, but was once willing to work together with the others until they gave up on him & he in return decided to go it solo & accept his nature. The fact that this Gashat requires 4-Player Co-op really puts Emu in a bad situation here, and it's a wonder how Emu was able to so cleverly make it to where all of them would work together to defeat Graphite.
I will say though, I am disappointed Graphite is done in the show, and I wish they kept him longer. After all, he's the key to two of our main characters' backstories. Now the big question is.....JUST WHAT WAS UP WITH EMU & HIS GLOWING EYES?!! The theories of him having a split personality is becoming more and more supported.....!

Man, I read the episode thread on TV-Nihon and the staff despise this show. Even so far as calling them the 'Ninninger' of Kamen Riders. That's too harsh.
On the other hand, IMO this show is way enjoyable than Ghost and first half of Drive that's for sure. |

Anyway, to further bolster this split persona idea, there's rumors of a Den-O return later this year. Possible - they've got that DX belt to pimp!

That TVN thread feels like an alternate universe to me or something.
