Holy shit, Cross-Z Magma is such an awesome looking form. Moreso than Cross-Z Charge, it looks like a natural progression of the Cross-Z base form. It also looks like we're going to see the base form again next episode. Thank goodness the show didn't decide to just totally drop it.
I also love that Banjo Ryuga's plotline is something that would usually be reserved for the main Rider, finding out that they have altered DNA and that's what allows their power level to constantly rise. This show does a really good job of making Cross-Z feel as important to the plot as Sento, whereas most seasons make you feel like the secondary Rider is just backup. Kazumi has kind of been out-of-focus with all this stuff going on between Sento and Banjo, but by no means does it feel like he's the awkward 3rd wheel.

I hope they do not nerf Cross-Z Magma when Genius comes around. The form just screams Power! ACHACHACHA! xD
This feels like more of Banjou's story now instead of Sento lol. Poor Gentoku...he must feel powerless with that chip in him and having to rely on Sento. Maybe our heroes can help remove it once he joins them since his goal in the end is to unite the country anyway. |

Seeing Banjo get his new power-up from Pandora's Box.
Wonder how you'd picture Sento gaining Genius Form. |

Why is the Cross-Z Dragon missing from the belt in each shot this episode where Banjo is out of costume?
Like most I prefer Magma to Charge, but I think there's too much orange in the suit. I'd rather it had been more black with orange peeking out, or "erupting" in a few places. But in a sense you're right, a little more black would have been badass. |

I have to agree with the evaluations of Cross-Z Magma, really cool looking, but I think it needed more black. I also found it too noticeable when they switched to the stunt suit, which had a matte orange as opposed to metallic undersuit, but whatever, they are just nitpicks.
So I guess Banjou is has Evolt's power or something and Blood Stalk has his mind? I'm interested to see where this goes, and with Katsuragi, or a Katsuragi, back in the picture there is a lot of potential for great moments for Sento too.

new suit looks pretty badass. I like how the knuckle-piece plugged into the belt and split open.
Once again Grease has a jaw-dropping "blink and you'll miss it" moment of crazy jumping skills. I really like how much he jumps and rolls. Flips over the guy sideways, lands, rolls, then blocks a punch and hits the guy on the left. All in like 1 second. Grease always seems to have a truly cool "blink and you'll miss moment" in his fights. He's an incredible fighter, he just doesn't have the raw power and brutality that Dragon and Build do. Maybe that's why his fighting style is more acrobatic and evasive. Anyway I really like that all the characters from Rogue to Grease to Dragon and Build all have different fighting styles. |

Banjo was originally human. It's just the parasite chose Banjo's foetus as a host (I guess it's easier to fuse with a still evolving lifeform than the mother herself) in the wait of the day his mind/consciousness would return. I hope Evolt is going to stay a bit longer in Souichi's body though, and that KR Evol isn't the turning point of Evolt taking over Banjo (because that will happen for sure now :/). Or else Cross-Z Magma is going to disappear quite soon :/ |

I really am loving Build's rider trio, probably my favorite right after Ghost's trio. I'm still not sure about Banjo's backstory but like I said last week, I'm willing to see where it goes. At the very least they seem to be digging into Katsuragi's family, something that I was hoping they would do ever since we found out Sento was Takumi.
Gentoku is also starting to go through his heel turn arc. If you told me this was happening 10 episodes ago, I would probably say I don't like it. However like with Kazumi's heel turn, the circumstances for it feel natural given the context of the story and characters so I don't mind it. Cross-Z Magma debut was super hot, the direction of this episode in general was on point. Seriously Toei, give Kazuya Kamihoriuchi the main director role for the next Kamen Rider series. I'm also glad someone on the sound team finally knows how to mix the inserts cause the use of Burning My Soul was great. It's such a breath of fresh air after Ex Aid's mindbogglingly atrocious use of it's inserts. |

Well the magazines did say that Blood Stalk is getting a new form, so he'll be in Souichi's body for a while. I could see the body jacking as like an endgame kind of thing as they'd want to get a good use out of Magma. Kind of weird for Toei to have another body-jacker just when Sentai's last series had a main villain that specialised in that area.
