It's pretty nuts when you think about how these upgrade form debuts go. Even for the forms that have some downside, at least the first fight will be pretty triumphant and epic. But with this one it's just like:
"Yes, Hazard form! I wanna see what kind of cool stuff this form can do!" *Sento's first action is turning against his friend and killing a guy* "Oh.....oh no "

It really drives home the point that the curse of The Masked Rider is that you fight, whether you want to or not,..you're now a living weapon and you don't really get a say in the matter. Which is a theme introduced by Hongo in the very first series and I guess is a prevailing theme all throughout the years, but man this episode really drove that point home, hard,..with tears and PTSD. Holy shit! Last edited by KaijuUltraFan; 02-04-2018 at 05:10 PM.. |

The one moment that got me more than anything else in this episode was definitely the downplayed delivery (to put it mildly) on Sento's "I don't want to fight anymore" right before the second commercial break. I end up being impressed by the lead actor they pick every year but that was just brutal. I think I mentioned early on that Atsuhiro Inukai is good at hitting a lot of different notes in one episode, and he's only gotten better since then.

black Hazard Build is legit scary.
He really came across as an unfeeling killing machine. I've never seen a Rider I truly thought was frightening, until now. He seemed to enjoy it. |

Yeah, the acting this show has been fantastic. Without that there's no way they'd be able to sell half that stuff. This cast can actually pull it off though.

Hours have passed and I still can’t get over this episode. Periodically, there is a moment in a tokusatsu that just haunts me, but this is a whole episode I just can’t get out of my head. Seeing the how the show slowlyyyy started to wear Sento down before dealing this crushing blow to him is shockingly well paced. Even though this was definitely a Sento episode, they make sure we get to see the reactions of everyone else too. The lack of music, the cloying atmosphere, it just nailed everything.

Hazard Build was some Amazon-level fuckery, he straighted up murdered that fool.
Then we have Blood stalk poo pooing Sento's guilt by saying ya'll not even human no more, you just broke a weapon . . . and HANDS HIM a case full of bottles to train with to kill another dude at this point we gotta ask, is Blood Stalk one of the best villains we've had? Michi was a sick son of a bitch obsessed with a girl and proving himself Dan Kuruto was pure ego, literally renaming himself SHIN DAN KUROTO upon resurrection

I've never seen a "Hero" do that in these shows. That was next-level scary Rider stuff right there. And it was so Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers'ish,..the mannerisms and the cool, calm, calculated murder of it all. Like a cat and a mouse. It was chilling. I'll say it again, Black Hazard Build is legit scary. I would not want to be in the same room as that guy. |

The biggest explosion in the episode is actually when Sento said he don't want to fight anymore in the lowest audible volume possible. You know he's simply broken at this point.
All of the riders are broken somewhat, but Build is most of them all. His stiffened pose when he henshined into Build to "train" with BloodStalk is just a delicious frosting on the cake. I love it. We are at episode 21 and Build still feel fresh! |

Ooh, I just remembered one other bit of this episode that really struck me. Sento having PTSD flashbacks after the Build Driver shouts "ARE YOU READY?!" like it always does. Get it? Because he isn't ready. It'd be funny if it weren't so tragic.
