So this was another pretty cool episode of Kamen Rider Genm (ignore the title card that insists otherwise). Let's see here:
- Okay, so right off the bat, in between last week and now I FINALLY figured out why Dan does so little for me. I adored Jugglus Juggler in Ultraman Orb and now I'm spoiled. Nothing against Tetsuya Iwanaga, because he is doing a great job, but he can't hold a candle to that guy in my book. Also Juggler never hijacked the entire show for like 14 episodes. - "MY GOD! THIS SMALL CHILD'S S***TY CRAYON DRAWINGS ARE A THREAT TO MY DOMINANCE OF THE GAME DESIGN INDUSTRY! THERE'S ONLY ONE THING TO DO! I NEED TO LAUNCH AN ELABORATE PLAN FOR REVENGE AND MAYBE WHILE I'M AT IT I CAN FINALLY TAKE OVER THE WORLD LIKE I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET AROUND TO FOREVER NOW! THE VOICES IN MY HEAD SAY THAT'S AN UNREALISTIC GOAL BUT I'LL SHOW THEM! I'LL SHOW EVERYONE!" - ANYWA- I mean anyway, I guess that sounds about right for Dan. I have to say though, if he does die soon (and it feels that way to me too), I can't say I'm going to be sad. Despite how often I make fun of him, I've enjoyed his presence, but I feel like he's about run his course. Getting rid of him could be the kick in the pants the show needs to really go somewhere great in the back half. Or maybe it'll fall apart without him, and even in death, Dan will still find a way to get the last laugh, who knows? - Hiiro and Taiga are still the stars of the show right now. I probably don't need to elaborate. - Alright Emu, it's your time to shine next week. This guy's been kicking you around in your show for months but what he doesn't realize is that you totally have a spare Driver and a fancy new Gahsat. And what better power to beat the unknown variable with than Level... 99? Huh. I guess X < 99. Who knew? - Also if Emu is just going to spend the rest of the show using Kiriya's Driver, that's actually kind of touching~ - Also also I guess Parad is just gonna grab Genm's old Driver later on then. - Also also also, I'm kind of sad they aren't going to defeat Genm with the power of Onari.

Forgot to mention this, I like how The Hiiro/Taiga dynamic there is like the equivalent of a brotherly 2 player co-op. When Taiga gives Hiiro the Gashat Duel B he says to use that because he'll be using a better one is almost the same scenario as like the older brother playing the better character while the younger brother plays the crappy one. That or I could be reading way too much into it.

Dan's actor keeps doing better and better somehow, I was actually convinced he was going to repent because of how radical the shift was! Anyways, Dan is definitely shaping up to be the fauxnal boss of this show, which begs the question of who is going to replace him afterwards for the second half. Graphite would be pretty cool, but so would Dan's father turning out to be the real mastermind imo. I also feel that I have to compliment this show for handling its character development really solidly for the last few episodes. Can't wait to see level 99 in action next week.

Well it wouldn't be a Rider show without daddy/dead parent issues so if Masamune is still alive, then he's most likely the villain.

Oddly enough, despite all the talk of being a god, this episode really confirms to me that Genm's a really insecure man.
-He used Emu an incubator for the bugster virus because Emu had the potential to become a great game developer (According to a user on Reddit, Emu had also written down ideas for game mechanics in the notes Kuroto was looking at). -He killed Burgmon and infected Tsukuru because there was a chance that Tsukuru could make new gashats that could be better than his. -Even Dangerous Zombies' imortality reeks of low self esteem when you think about it. Back when it debuted, the strongest form any of the riders could achieve was Level 5, and DZ made Genm Level 10. The dude had so little faith in himself, that he made a backup plan incase being stronger than any rider at the time somehow didn't work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But enough about Genm, let's talk about the with the rest of the episode. Which was mainly about Genm... Damnit. So, way back when Ex-Aid got Gekitotsu Robots, I said I was disappointed with the episode not going anywhere with the whole "Should criminals be saved" dynamic. Well, I guess the writers stumbled upon our forums, cause here it is! Only now with a very personal twist with the patient being Kuroto this time around. A neat little moment I like is where Kuroto is saying he'd understand if Emu just lets him get disintegrated by the virus, and we see Emu practically on the edge of shifting into M mode, but resolves to treat Kuroto anyway. Again, it kinda calls back to episode 5 where Genm tells Emu to forget being a doctor and just be a gamer and show no mercy. |

Oh yeah if we do get a new villain it is possible its the new boss of Gemn Corp. I mean when he was shown he was blacked out and surrounded by a godly light. And if Chronicle basically makes you a god of a world game then that guy sounds possible.

Dan is great though I do suspect that we might see him die in the next episode. It feels like we are nearing the finale when in fact we are at episode 22.

I give Dan 2 or 3 episode left at minimum. Maximum I see him lasting 5 or 6.

I love your games, especially Mighty Action. I thought up a game of my own, so please make it. Thank you very much, Emu Houjou -- You'll have to excuse my pedestrian translation. Anyway, good to know Emu was always big into the Mighty games. I guess Dan really did plan this s*** out pretty thoroughly. Wonder if Hiiro ever played D&D as a kid...?
