I feel like the writers might have written themselves in a corner. With ZAIA already ahead 2-0 it just means Hiden will win the next two whereas if they had let Hiden win last week then this match up might be up for grabs. Although I have faith that they have something up their sleeves with Metal Cluster next week.
And Fuwa was preety cool with that speech he gave to Aruto. You see the growth that has taken place with him. Though when Izu asked him if he was a gorilla... that was good.

Considering this episode is about criminal, why everyone not arrest Gai for having zetsumerize key and turn a Humagear into magia? this honestly make me confused
Also aruto please hit a gym why you so easy being push away and KO by people, i honestly kinda tired seeing aruto is easily being push away when he is not in zero one suit... Fuwa in the other hand is fantastic in this episode he shown his development by giving aruto advice in this episode which is nice... I know SA Hopper being nerf but that is very hard nerf and the fighting scene honestly is not very fun... i know its a gag scene but he should be easily dodge that dynamite just saying... |

really pissed at the episode.
The show is certainly still enjoyable to watch, but the writers obviously turned their brain off so far. Except for that scene between Aruto and Horobi (and it's just about the protags learning something obvious/that we already know), it's once again some kind of copy/paste of the 4 previous episodes except for the "who is the raider" mystery. same dialogues. Same interactions between characters. seriously, how many time should we have to suffer the "middle episode Gai is discussing with his chosen candidate and correct him that 99/100% is not acceptable, only 999 or 1000%" scene. how much more uncreative can you be ? can't you find new things to say really ? I still like the show very much, but if the beginning was full of promise, the current situation is a huge drop. The show even corrected some past shows error, it had new fight angles and choreographies (where are the 1st person view fight of Ep2 ? where are the Ep1 finisher kind of shot ? I still have in mind that Ep1 shot just before the final kick that shows Aruto's foot on the ground with some kind of effect, that was cool). We finally had a female main rider participating to the plot and transforming when needed, now she is nothing more than what Schesta is to the vice pres. Speaking of which the vice pres/Schesta and that third guy trio also disappeared during this arc. The vice pres was an actor introduced at the press conference for the Zero One show. he is not supposed to disappear like that. If we introduced a lot more new characters for the current arc I would kinda understand to put others on the side. But we just removed Jin for Gai so far. Still the same number of characters. You built cool characters so far in the first arc. Use them. They're still here. many potential wasted in this arc so far. EDIT : also forgot to mention that as someone said, we already know the outcome of this round. If Hiden don't want to lose the "out of 5", they should win this one. BUT even if there could still be a twist like "Even if ZAIA wins the 3rd round, they decide that if Hiden wins one round only, it's ZAIA loss", just because Gai would like a complete victory, there is absolutely NO. WAY. that Kamen Rider will end an episode with an innocent man/character of the week be wrongly convicted. Absolutely no suspense. EDIT 2 : the only thing i could see work somehow, is that the accused actually IS guilty, but Bingo somehow win the case and the round for Hiden. BUT After the trial Aruto would realize the guy really is guilty and it was actually orchestrated by ZAIA to make him snap and go berserk when he realizes humagear can make serious consequences mistakes => which leads to cluster hopper somehow.

I'm honestly pissed off by this episode and the previous one.
Gai stealing Zero-One's power is getting old really fast. Also, like some of you pointed it out, we are talking about justice, but Gai and his prosecutor are lying and cheating high time. Last week, Gai did nothing against his human representative using a Raider key... I don't like how this is turning out at all. The only interesting parts are with Fuwa so far, but Gai vs Aruto is boring. Also, I'm disappointed by Yua...obeying that way to Gai when he is just a complete asshole, what the heck is wrong with her? |

Completely agree with the last two posts on every point.
I've gone beyond bored with this arc and am starting to be actively annoyed by it. Oh look, Zero-One got a Jackrise,.... again. Like he gets done to him every single time. He got his butt kicked,.... again. You would think at this point after seeing it happen every. single. time,. he'd be a little aware of the danger of the Jackrise. But nope,.. because Aruto is an idiot. It's hard to root for an idiot no matter how cool his Rider Armor looks. *sigh* This is just re-treading the same past few episodes over and over. It's so boring and frustrating. The little conversation at the soda machine was the only interesting part. Our Detective is starting to develop a tiny bit of character finally. But seriously, this sucks. We get 25 episodes, right? And 10 of them are going to be this garbage contest? Ugh,... this is the first time I've watched a Kamen Rider series and actively thought, "I will never watch this again when it's over." The costumes are amazing but the characters and the story are really boring now. |

Wait what?! Every rider (aside from Decade) has ended around 48-52 episodes, admittedly you're right that 10 of them are still gonna be about this lame ass arc. But no Zero One is not going to end at episode 25, unless I somehow missed a big announcement on Twitter or Facebook.

I thought this as soon as they revealed Gai's real age, but I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be her actual dad or something like that. She clearly has a lot of conflict with what he's doing, but is loyal to him to a fault for some reason. Who knows how long it'll take them to address whatever that reason is though, she's been put in the backseat this arc way hard.

Despite my apprehension the last several weeks. This episode was actually... good?
Courtroom drama's are neat, we've got some nice guest actors this time. Though it's a shame that Aruto got suckered into this like, even Izu warned him. But it has to be a win for them otherwise we wouldn't have another contest after this based on episode descriptions. Like the bad parts were mainly just... Thouser, he's the only one not doing anything for me. I can only watch a man Jacking Break so many times until it gets boring. Granted it seems like even the Ark is done with Gai's shit given the ominous glowing on Shining Assault before the episode ended. That being said, I'm kind of hoping that Hiden ends up losing. Like they win the next two rounds but manage to lose the last. But if the writers are smart and remember Izu can record things, the TOB doesn't take effect because Izu just shares all of Gai's stupid antics for the world to see in order to tank Zaia's image. Because honestly, Gai pulling out a Zetsumeriser, a known terrorist weapon, shouldn't be ignored even though the writers may just ignore it. But like, using the repetitive nature to lull us into a pattern and then quickly make a clear bait and switch with the Raider this two-parter was honestly clever. Like I can already figure who the Raider is, but it's still a nice way to twist things. Plus the Lion Raider is just like... my favorite monster in a while? Mostly cause you have a dude having a machine gun but also having removable dynamite on his body to light with said gun and then throw. There's just something magical about it. Fuwa also continues to be the star of this tournament arc with his involvement in the background. Plus just his interaction with Aruto this episode was nice. Overall a fairly solid episode tbh, even if they hit similar beats. Let's hope Metal Cluster next week is the game changer we need. |

Izu asking Fuwa if he's a gorilla was savage. And the Punching Kong jingle playing in the background just made the whole thing even funnier for me.
