I am late to this but I would just like to say, man, what an episode! And most of all the cinematography! Would you look at that!

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.
The fact that these actors SOLD it like this means that it's not just the writing, but the people chosen for this season are just outstanding. I kind of feel like this is what is needed, a real wakeup for some kids to understand what happens when you hurt others. I'm not asking for Afterschool Special levels of guilt trip, but how this was done was just right in my opinion. I freaking wish this was the attitude in the US to take this kind of story and make it stand.

and to be fair the show being as good as it is 'is' selling toys. Because I've bought a bunch of Build merchandise I wouldn't have bought if the show wasn't pulling me in.
I thought the belt was silly with the little crank,..by episode 20 I'm buying a belt and eyeballing the 'sparkling' soda can addition. I want at least 3 SHF figs (rabbit-tank, cross dragon and grease),..and I'm sure there will be other things that catch my eye. If the show wasn't as good as it is I wouldn't want more merchandise beyond just a single Rider figure to add to the shelf. I've been a harsh criticizer of the silly costumes,..and I still think most of them are just goofy looking. But the writing and acting and like Leo Novum pointed out even the cinematography is really top notch. i seriously look forward to each weeks new episode and have no idea where the show is eventually going to end up. |

Great episode, loved the shot with the swinging light at the beginning. The location they previously used on Amazons Season 2 weirdly fits this episode a lot
I can't say that I'm 100% on board with Sentou in this episode though as I feel his character would react differently. He'd still be down but letting go this much? I don't know. Anyways, this show is awesome and I'm happy that it continues to be this good. |

He never wanted to fight this war in the first place and the only reason he was at all is because he told himself it was about protecting people. I honestly don't think you could ask the show to do a better job building to this point than it did.

Getting Guyver vibes from the show at this point, let us use humanity in order to create a living weapon.
Hazard at least feels like an out of control killing machine with a human center, though Stalk is not happy with the result it seems, he wants something even stronger for whatever plans he has, considering he has been flat out killing people on screen with no issues so far he is either going to be an anti hero character building up for something that requires sacrifices to accomplish, or he is using a human suit and is making weapons for his masters. Either way, this season is really solid so far, and this episode was despair inducing. |

One of the best episodes of Kamen Rider, in any series, period.
