Ooooo, that's interesting, though that does raise the question of what he plans to do with the Megid, unless he's doing the "The only kamen rider the world needs is me" route.

Say what you will about Reika as a character, that initial transformation was amazing. Also yeah, it turns out my eyes are messed up, as the red on her suit is actually maroon/crimson not pink.
Anyhow, her debut fight was also pretty good, her spamming the "disappear into smoke and attack them from behind, left, right, etc" trick while a bit silly, at least sold me on the idea that she'd be really difficult to fight in a sudden encounter like in this ep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I'm sorry, but I just found Touma's transformation into Primitive this ep hilarious. Ogami warns Touma not to do it, and I'm in my seat going "Why? Just use Dragonic Knight instead." Touma slots in Dragonic Knight and all of the sudden Primitive jumps out of Sora's bag and bonks Dragonic out of the way right as Touma unsheathes Rekka, and I just start laughing. In all my years of watching Kamen Rider, I have never seen something just so absurd as a Midseaon power up item literally getting up and shoving the First Quarter power up item out of the way during transformation. Like goddamn, that was hilarious to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote:
Before this episode airs let me just say that Szabla's design is awesome...except for the helmet. What the freak is up with the wonky blade placement?!? Why can't they put it up like the rest of the Saber Riders? It's honestly triggering me and ruins a perfectly good suit in my opinion. Of course, if you like the design then good for you.
Except instead of a feather, Sabela's plume is actually a puff of smoke with the Noroshi suddenly coming out to stab you. Which honestly, I do kinda dig, if that was the reason for the odd placement. |

Also, with knowing that he eventually faces off against Ren, I feel Kenzan will 1000% lose and it'll probably be the first sword Kento acquires. Probably, if they're going for him to acquire the swords for real. Which would kind of open up the scenario for Ren to either go to Touma for help and Touma to lend him Ikazuchi or he'd go to Dezast and do something. |

Her helmet looks more like Poitrine's mask (The magical girl in Fourze vs Wizard). Given the magical girl henshin, I think that's what they're going for. Could be both, I guess. I've seen that style mask and hat together (Persona 5, Zorro sans feather), It's just there's almost nothing of the hat in the helmet. Either way, the smoke feather is cool.

With subs, it seems Kento DOES believe he's the only one capable of saving the world which is why he's on a quest to gather the swords.
I'm leaning to believe Tassel was the one who freed Kento. The moment Yuri started asking about Calibur, Tassel immediately says he's got an appointment and leaves and soon after Calibur shows up. The only thing that's left is to find out if Reika would be surprised that Kurayami is being used or she knows all this too, considering she's the one that took Kurayami. |

Yeah, I had to look this up because it sorta bugged me to. I initally guessed it was because the sword would be too long sticking out of her helmet the normal way, but from what I can tell (Disclaimer, nothing I'm about to say is in any way officially confirmed). I think the reason for the odd placement was because Sabela's helmet design is supposed to be based off/referencing a musketeer's hat. Specifically the one with a feather plume, it's most commonly seen in movies or tv like The 3 Musketeers:

Ren starting to question the Sword of Logos and having an actual thought process is definitely a step forward for him as a character. I mean, not much but it's better than him being a one-dimensional immature child.
Also, if Ren actually does continue to question the SoL and this ends up with him defecting to the Northern Base's side, Touma and co. would end up with a trump card over Sabela because wind can blow away smoke (basically, wind beats smoke). This just got interesting.

I think this is my favourite episode so far?
EVERYTHING worked perfectly here! Rintarou's dilemma is exactly the sort of thing I was wanting to see come out this status quo ever since the swordsmen split from Touma, and it... kiiinda makes me wish Primitive Dragon appeared much earlier? It gives much more legitimate reasoning to the drama and everything Rintarou's saying about struggling between it and his friendship (well. perhaps a little more than friendship according to Mei) with Touma is extremely compelling. I did enjoy his previous reasoning but that never landed quite as well as it was never truly dug into, but this one I have a far easier time getting into. ... maybe slightly upset that Tassel isn't Calibur? I really shouldn't be! This is fantastic drama and it's awesome to see that it wasn't spoiled by the next time clip, and for once I'm actually looking forward to seeing this character! But boy I was so so pleased with myself last week to see my crackpot theory 'come true'. Ah well. Still hoping on him being Kurayami! Reika is fucking badass holy shit. Like. Every single thing about the atmosphere and the leitmotif she took on in this episode, how ridiculously overpowering she is; this is awesome! Please don't mess this up Toei because you have a sick rider on your hands here!
