This continues to be freaking brilliant. I love the Mighty Bros. XX form. That was kick ass and so much fun. Also loved how Emu convinced Hiiro to do the surgery and they were both saving the patient at the same time too. That was fantastic. I am intrigued with more of Snipe and Nico and what's going on with Emu too. Just further questions and intrigue.

Well, this is so much an amazing and a rather high tension episode. Also, is it me but I feel that Ex-Aid handles its VoTW's case much better than most other Rider series, much better than Wizard, Fourze and might be Drive too? This week VoTW was great too and I can't believe he could still smile so much despite all the shit that he got. It's a nice closure episode for Hiiro too and it proves that being a Rider doesn't mean that you must fight monster. And in Hiiro's case, his biggest threat was a real operation compared to a Bugster. It's nice to see Taiga to shine a lot lately after Nico appeared. I love the dynamic between Taiga and her and I can't wait for a much better development for these two.
Now concerning about Emu or M... I'm getting more confused right now. Hearing Nico's dialogue it WAS heavily implied that M was Emu's real personality unlike what we thought in reverse. So is it the operation 16 years ago actually made Emu's personality and not M? Also, if Dan was somewhat contributing toward Emu's operation 16 years ago, he should have known what actually happened to him at that time. It's confusing to see that he actually was so confused why Emu could make Mighty Brothers XX. I mean it was heavily implied that either Emu got a Bugster virus or a Bugster antibody or anything but he couldn't deduce it? Though, from Taiga's last word in this episode, it was so implied that Emu got a Bugster virus. I was also quite surprised to see how the OP's editing was a bit sloppy or what? First, they give a space in Kiriya's spot when he shows his Gashat and Emu's much complete transformation during Kiriya's transformation. Second, they didn't even bother to edit Lazer LV 1 in the four Riders meeting. Either it might give us another Lazer or they actually was just lazy in editing, I don't know.

Oh nooooo Emu has game virus... Nobody saw this coming...
Other than that, fan-fucking-tastic episode

About Lazer Level 1 and Level 2 still in opening scenes, probably someone will become new Lazer user.

But yeah, it does seem to be going Emu is the Bugster personality and M is the original one route. I have to express my admiration for how well Emu's actor has been doing the two different personalities, and that the episode had great moments for all the characters all around. I wonder if Taiga is going to be targeted now like Kiriya since he knows something he shouldn't. REALLY enjoying this show. Something I noticed recently is the main writer has been doing all the foreseeable and past episodes. Probably explains the consistent quality.

I'm just enjoying the connection between Taiga and Nico! What bothers me is that Brave and Snipe won't have new gashats until I don't know yet, which means Ex Aid will have to be kicking ass until then

Another super duper fun episode. I really love how even though these past two episodes are nominally about Emu, they've been really great showings for Brave and Snipe, who I think quickly fell off people's radars as soon as Kiriya showed up, so they really needed it.
Taiga finally has someone to talk to now, letting him actually be in a scene where he does something other than whine about how all the other Riders suck, and he's even solving mysteries with his quirky new sidekick! Good for you, Taiga! Meanwhile everything involving Hiiro these past two episodes has been amazing, aside from how frustrating it is that the show seems to have forgotten about his backstory (at least for now). What really elevates it is that most of the characterization he's getting here is indirect, coming more from his actions than his words, which is a perfect fit for the kind of character he is. And hey, he actually got to do doctor stuff! Real doctor stuff, I mean. Not "I'm gonna dress up as a cartoon knight and hit people with a sword" doctor stuff, like usual. And of course the stuff with Emu is great too. I sort of thought the extent to which Emu instantly gets in his own way at the start was a little overkill so it was great to see him work that out within seconds of using XX again. I guess that's just how multi-Rider shows work. Even if the other guy is literally you, you're still obligated to fight at least once. I am kind of worried about this whole plotline though. If the show keeps up the quality I could see myself getting over it quickly but I maintain that outright saying Emu is two different people would be devaluing his character a ton. Like, going by that logic, Shinnosuke must be part Bugster (or whatever) too. Every time Takeru got mopey in Ghost? Obviously the Game Illness at work. Like, the show seems to want me to buy that Emu speaking politely around patients, colleagues, and friends, and not to Bugsters, is some kind of foreshadowing, but it mostly just seems straightforward to me. I mean, just listen to XX L during the fight at the end. He sounds ridiculous. Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit with that last point. As foreshadowing, it's actually pretty solid. They even make a note of reminding the viewer that Taiga instantly pegged that as something notable about Emu pretty much right away. So yeah, great episodes. My posts have been more negative sounding these past couple weeks, but my enjoyment of Ex-Aid is as high as it's ever been. Can't wait to see Parado- uh... Para-DX next week. I'm going pretty long already, but I wanna finish off with the usual bullet point minor stuff: - Oh man, an insert theme. I've missed those so much. And this week it was actually used right. Bonus points for also playing over Hiiro doing surgery. That's just awesome. - Dig that direct Mario Bros. reference with Ex-Aid smashing the Bugster through the blocks. Unless I just haven't noticed it, I don't think Ex-Aid has been doing straight up video game references, so that was pretty neat. - The way they left in Kiriya's spots in the opening (without Kiriya himself) instead of just removing them altogether is kind of suspicious. Maybe they'll just upgrade Parad to main character status and put him in, but it seems strange for them to change up the opening only to change it again after two episodes.

Man that finisher...double X aide...one could say those Young Bucks have a hell of a SUPER KICK! (sorry, wrestling joke)...
But that was visually fantastic. I would actually take a Figuarts Zero of that form in their action stance with the shoulders together |
