Also....isn’t Tsukuyomi aware that she is Schwartz’ sister since her trip with Tsukasa to her past in the future ? Why is she surprised in the next episode preview?
This episode was weird, Sougo wanted to help that other guy who became Another Zi-o 2 and this guy is pulling off a Sasuke because «*muuu not forget past*» Am I the only one having troubled by this ? Last edited by Yarlick; 07-01-2019 at 08:09 AM.. |

Man, Grand Zi-o got curb-stomped a bit didn't he? And after he had such an epic debut too.

There's only possibly 8-9 episodes left from historical average. There's no way it'll be decent closing arc. Even worse, See the finale in vcinema or Decade alike movie war. Reiwa might shake things up again possible with streaming service nowadays. Every big companies are doing mcu and Netflix niche. There's already spoilers about the next "tribute arc" repeats even if certain characters getting chance to shine again and connect with future.

I have to agree. For Grand to be such an impressive introduction one week and then fall utterly flat due to V-Cinema/Movie needs is just anticlimactic. But it does address the usual trope, "if you have the strongest power, why not just take out the largest bad buy right then and there, but wait, you still have a few episodes left, so you're going to lose anyway." (whew) Also, lets not forget the "you didn't get that power, it was given to you", and "your motivation is lacking". OldGo totally pwned Younggo again, like Charlie Brown with a football. Nice use of the effects and suits though. I'm hoping the finale is going to be next level when it happens.
I think the reason for this episode is more the interaction between Sougo and Tsukasa. It's that point where Tsukasa points out that Sougo's motivation to be king or overlord stems from his wanting to have his friends there with him. Instead they should be following him. It's also reflected in how Woz turns sides to the more powerful Zi-O. He's got a spine, otherwise he wouldn't have gone straight to taking on Oma. But he lacks the fire that Oma has to do what needs to be done, whatever that is. Is Another Zi-O II necessary? Well, it makes it interesting to see someone else use the power in a corrupt way. But since we've completely thrown out power levels/equivalencies in Zi-O (and really, does it matter?) I'm just watching and waiting.

The production team making Drive's funny car horn noises sound so evil and intimidating is absolutely fantastic.

I don't entirely mind Oma beating Grand, but Another Zi-O II doing so seems cheap

(Ignoring Trinity for this because that thing is not really a "normal" upgrade or part of Zi-O's expected, natural form progression) |

Don't like being too negative, but I've got to say this: I'm severely disappointed by how lazy they got with Grand's power and shocked by how quickly it happened.
Last episode not only made me love Grand, it put it on the track to overtaking even Cosmic as my favourite final form. It was an extremely clever idea to literally pluck Riders out of specific points in the timeline for attacks; them doing the exact same motions they did in their series but in a different context without them even realising they're there. I was hardly expecting them to go quite as grandiose and overwhelming as they did against Another Den-O until the last couple episodes, but I hoped this basic idea would keep up. Here all that uniqueness is gone and he's just Diend. I don't think the cool little time gates showed up; he just hits the statue and Build is here or Den-O is here and they're not doing any specific action they did in their series, they're just another suit in the fight. There wasn't even any specific forms like how we saw Gatakiriba and Suika Arms last week; it's... just Diend summons. It's hugely disappointing and inconsistent. |

Soooo, I'm not the only one to be disappointed.
That means that there was something really wrong with this episode. Who wrote and directed it? |

If it was Gaim level then he'd be praising it for not having a satisfying ending cause if we're gonna be very real Gaim's ending sucked.
