I'm not gonna lie, I'm... not enjoying this so far. This episode in particular was a dire attempt at a tribute to Build, with barely any solid connection nor many characterful interactions. The whole thing just felt completely off and dull, and it makes me worry for the other legend rider interactions. Which is pretty strange, since I thought if anything about Ninninger was well-done; it was the use of the previous heroes! And yet in this, Sento and Banjou are just kinda... there. Pushed off to the side with new viewers learning nothing about them and returning viewers not getting a chance to see how they've gotten on since Build's last episode. This could have been done with any Legend Rider and it doesn't exactly make me ecstatic to see how they handle Ex-Aid and the rest.
I do have a few things I like. Zi-O and Geiz' respective Rider Kick effects are fantastic, and Woz continues to be a joy to watch. I also admit fully to adoring Sento saying he was jealous of Another Build for getting to hug Banjou. But all in all this was just kinda disappointing. Very little substance to the episode and an inconsistent time flow which, while not a bad thing in and of itself, was pulled off very badly going by the confusion of not just myself but clearly a lot of people here. There's every possibility future episodes will be better, but right now they did not land a good first impression in the slightest.

I agree, but I'll save my "Oh dear god they're gonna keep doing this" for when the Ex-Aid tribute is done. This also could've been a case of "we know we got a Build team-up in 3 months so, let's keep it short" |

Another problem might be that this was all written without much knowledge of how the Build finale was going to go, depending on how much the writer share between each other. Ex-Aid's been over for a year now (and doesn't have multiple words deals to confuse things), so it might be easier to tie together.
Also, I've put together a theory of how all this timeline shenagin stuff works out. To me, this makes the most sense. SKYWALL WORLD 2017 - Heisei Generations final occurs, uniting the two worlds for a bried time. This is what allows Zi-O to cross over, and is where the Build portion of Episode 1 occurs. SKYWALL WORLD 2018 - Build finale, which dumps Sentou and Ryuuga inti... MAIN WORLD 2017 - Because Sento and Ryuga have to be around at this point, per episode 2, as they fight Kaijin Rider Build. This is where the creation of KaiRide Build occurs, and his defeat, in a time loop. Sento and Banjou, because their powers have been stolen by Zi-O, are affected, morphing Sento back into Takumi mentally, and reverting Banjo;s character development. However, it doesn't change things fully, probably because (as Den-O showed) time is hard to change - even if their past has been infected by an evil Kaijin Rider, the two are still friends. MAIN WORLD 2018 - In some looping timeline, where KaiRide Build lived, he gets blown up by Geiz. This restores the timeline, allowing Sento and Banjo to regain their memories, and give Sougo the Ride Watch which he only gives them when KaiRideBuild is destroyed, which hasn't happened yet because he doesn't have the RideWatch and KaiRideBuild is still around, and oh dear I've gone cross-eyed. Basically, the best I got is that the Another Watches don't do anything specifc, they just pervert the timeline. I'm basing this off the Eighth Doctor novels, though, so don't blame me if it doesn't make sense. Those don't make sense either. God, I hate time travel.

I liked it.
I also spent half the show trying to figure out the time paradoxs and wtf was going on. Pretty colors, rider kick! neat! wait what?! ...carry the build, a remainder of cross-z with build left over, carry the 1, 2 plus 2 equals, who's that guy what's going on? I think I got it now but...shoot I hope every episode this season isn't going to be time paradoxes and weirdness. I really liked this camera shot... |

Time travel.
They screw your brain. And how did Geiz got Ghost RideWatch is the question I want answer in like episode 5 I guess? Another Build is a good character by the way, nicely developed. It perverse the notions of Best Match and Nebula Gas and doing it nicely. It even has better use of the bottles by swimming and shooting like crazy |

I do like how Swimmer and Archer is essentially a callback to Pirate Train in terms of loose themes. I also like how they set up the joke of Sougo not being good at physics in Episode 1 with Tsukuyomi's exposition to pay off on it with Sougo's equations being him not understanding anything.
Also even Zi-O knows Sento and Ryuga have a thing for each other, that whole, "Build! Cross-Z! Best Match!" and "I feel oddly jealous" had me cracking up. There are just some nice little quirks in this episode with the Build Cast, since I wasn't expecting too much since these guys were gonna be Sougo's first swing at things at the end of the day. Sento acting like a proud parent and going over and telling Sougo what to do was also great. But let me tell you, Woz is probably my favorite part of this show right now. He's Zi-O's hype man, witnessing the birth of his favorite King, and just pops up out of nowhere. I love him, also he does a story time for the recap in front of a repainted Cronus Clock, that's also pretty great. And lastly, I love how this show does show that not even Geiz is perfect despite him wanting the best for the future. Because it's implied he's run into the Time Jackers and Another Riders on multiple occasions, but chose to blow them off for trying to kill Sougo. Overall this series so far is a bit messy, but it's a fun kind of messy. |

Yeah, Woz simply steals the show whenever he shows up.
And why does he have the Zi-O driver? |

This is confusing but I guess I'll just continue watch to understand instead of trying to figuring things out.. But one thing that I understand is that there are three sides in this show, Geiz and Tsukuyomi trying to prevent Oma Zi-O to be born, Time Jackers trying to rise their own king, and Woz making sure that Oma Zi-O rise.

Ok, confused.
1. If Build is a parallel world, then why is skywall where zi-o went? Before he went to the past, zi-o visited sento in 2018 right? Soooo |
