So I may be over thinking about this but it almost looks like we're getting a timeskip next episode? (Albeit a small ine?)

Good episode. Fuwa had good character development and is rapidly becoming (imo) the star Rider of the show.
I was getting annoyed the first few minutes as metal hopper was just getting b*tch-slapped around constantly. I kept wondering what happened to the automated defense that form had. Now he's just getting slapped around like he's not even in a Rider suit. But then the Fuwa fight scenes and character development made up for it. for me now Fuwa is the main Rider and Aruto is the cheesy secondary Rider. Hahaha |

This was fantastic. Some of the best action I’ve seen in quite a while (which isn't saying much because the choreography and camera work is getting incredibly good lately, across multiple shows) and it was a prelude to something really interesting. I especially look forward to Aruto being forced into a new situation here, just to see some new sides to his character.

ahhhh, yeah that's right. I thought I still saw the nano-swarm sometimes so I guess I forgot about that part.
Guess I'm just tired of seeing the main Rider get his butt kicked episode after episode. Fuwa made up for it this episode though. That was a fantastic fight scene. |

This was a fantastic episode. Fuwa delivering the long overdue beatdown to Gai and calling Yua out on her shit made these past few episodes worth it.

I'm thinking that this is a 52 total episode season. Next two weeks are are a special 2 part episode on Gai. Then 20 more. Sometime possibly soon the season will pause for the coronavirus then who knows if they will shorten, add, or just go along with their planned amount of episodes.

Even though I (unfortunately) got spoiled on the outcome of the competition before I watched it, this was a spectacular episode, and it really feels like both a grand finale of this arc, and a new beginning.
I thought since the start of this arc that Aruto's position as the joke-telling rookie CEO of Hiden was one of those things that wouldn't ever be in danger. I figured it was his thing, changing that'd be like deciding Gentaro wasn't too much of a social butterfly, or Kiryu Sento was suddenly neither genius or a physicist. But seeing how this episode panned out, and the preview for the next episode, I think I see what really sets Aruto apart from other main Riders: He's fighting to protect all HumaGears (despite what the opening narration says). No matter if he's doing it as the president of the company that makes them, he's devoted to reaching a great, big beautiful tomorrow where humans and HumaGears can live in harmony. And his being ousted as president (unless that next episode's title is surprisingly literal) only means a change of status quo for how he fights that fight, and who his enemy is. He's not battling against terrorists who hack HumaGears, or another CEO who wants to take over his company and destroy HumaGears. He's now a pretty-much-normal guy who's fighting against a giant corporation now starting on that mission to destroy all HumaGears. I feel like I've kinda gotten off the topic of this particular episode... Not much more I can say about this episode in particular that hasn't been said. I will say that it seems like Gai can only get defeated when another Rider gets a new powerup. Hopefully Rampage Gatling doesn't get the Metal Cluster treatment where Gai eventually starts kicking Fuwa's heiney even after this solid first showing... And on the topic of powerups, it feels like we're reaching the silent deadline for Valkyrie getting a new powerup. Vulcan already has double the amount of forms she has, and the odds for her getting an upgrade are even less in her favor after Zero-One gets his final form.

Maybe, just maybe, Yua's upgrade form is to use Cheetah with ShotRiser and then Jackal with RaidRiser for a hybrid form?

They... the writers actually had Hiden lose? And Zaia go through with its takeover!? That's what I was hoping for but I didn't think they'd actually go through with it! In light of that, I now think it's actually really smart that they made the job battle be 5 rounds long, because with Zaia getting the first two wins and Hiden getting the third and fourth, it perfectly sets up Zaia's takeover as a serious threat while still making us expect a Hiden victory, letting this come as an impactful twist without it coming out of nowhere.
Some of those 5 rounds might have been better as single episodes though, instead of two-parters. Last edited by FairyKing; 03-30-2020 at 04:17 PM.. |
