The Paradox Roidmude being Another Drive is a clever way to bring in a Dark Rider without using Dark Drive.
Since well... Hattari kind of mangled that suit to make it. |

Decade was boss in this ep even without his rider suit that's why I like him in Zi-O more than other riders.

A lot happened in this episode, but not all of it worked especially well. Let's start with the good stuff:
-Another Drive/Hora being Roidmude 108 AKA the Paradox Roidmude from SURPRISE FUTURE was an extremely clever twist that ties in nicely to the "Dark Rider" cameos. Since they don't have the Dark Drive suit anymore, this was a great way to technically feature him in the show. We even get to see a glimpse of the Paradox suit before it explodes. I guess this is our in-show Drive guest and while that's kind of disappointing, I'll overlook it because it was well-implemented and also helps makes this feel a little more like the Drive tribute it should have been. -Speaking of Another Drive, the transformation is pretty neat and I love that it comes equipped with Another Tridoron. -Finishing on our topic of Drive, Grand summoning Drive was sufficient I guess, but Tridoron smashing its Another counterpart and the finisher looked really good and quite visceral. -I always love the suit acting when the main Rider gets angry. -It's kind of cool that they're kind of making Aqua an honorary Zi-O Rider. He's getting a lot of screen-time and some fun fight scenes. If someone told me we'd see an Aqua vs Eternal fight scene years ago I would have called them crazy. -It's great to see Daido Katsumi again. At least we get someone from W in the flesh for the show. Eternal's transformation is as cool as ever and I love how smoothly he moves. -Tsukasa's moment was friggin' brilliant. The ability to use dimensional gates isn't a Rider power - it's something that comes from Tsukasa himself. Coming in clutch to save the day and even reveal some big news: that's what makes Tsukasa the GOAT. And finally, some Decade BGM. Stuff I was iffy on: -I want to feel bad for Uhr but he's such a flat character that I don't feel anything about his death. It was kinda brutal though. -While it feels a little more natural this time, I think we've all had enough of Geiz butting heads with Sougo. -Again, we don't know enough about Ora to make her betrayal truly meaningful. It wasn't shocking and I was actually hoping they'd make her change sides because that would add more to the story. -Grand Zi-O fight scenes continue to disappoint. Final thoughts: I think Schwarz's plan is kind of weird and not at all what a lot of people wanted to see going into the endgame, but if you relate it to Decade, it's actually pretty cool. It delves into the A.R stuff that Decade was all about and if it's going to lead to a full-blown Decade tribute, I am all for it. The explanation for him kidnapping people is to place them in a world of "lost possibilities" - what Tsukasa calls "Another World". He is presumably doing this to resurrect the Dark Riders, and he goes on to explain that in this version of reality, Eternal defeated W. This is a really awesome way to introduce movie Riders into the show and we seem to be getting more fun cameos next episode with Yuuki. And it's also a perfect explanation for why Shiro-Woz would return to. If there is one thing I have to commend the writers for, it's this plot point. It's just fun and it works rather well. |

So... Whichever sub group did the one that's up on kissasian rigjt now seriously messed up- 90% of the episode is still raw with some subbed lines sprinkled throughout the episode....

Paradox is quite a clever cameo, I'll give them that.
Eternal didn't really do much for having his live actor present, but it looks like he's sticking around at least one more episode. Similarly, the idea of villains from AUs where they won is neat but I little hollow without any details. |

Kissasian has a subbed version but like I mentioned before its pretty bad- 90% of the episode isnt actually subbed and what little is is sparsely sprinkled throughout the the episode

Ridertimesub made a mistake. They re upload on their blog. It's weird people only know and credit streaming site.

Maybe shotaro as the neighborhood detective esste egg, but Philip and shotaro is way too busy and famous nowadays. It depends if their agency allows it and can accommodate them l
