Not sure if anyone notices but Morio (Kamen Rider Mary) called Neon ?koneko-chan? (transl. little kitty) even before they all transformed and have Neon (with Morio) find out that her rider form resembles a cat, to which Morio calls her ?koneko-chan? again. Perhaps he knew about the riders beforehand? This will be interesting.

The ID cores on their buckles make it kind of clear what animal they are.

Are you implying that Morio was observant enough to identity the animal motif from an abstract logo on a small bottlecap-shaped item on the waist of a girl who was constantly moving in reaction to rampaging Jyamatos, while he was also constantly moving in reaction to rampaging Jyamatos?

“Little kitten” seems to be a general nickname for younger girls.

On that note, how are people chosen to become Kamen Riders? Were they chosen randomly or did they already have a wish they wanted to be granted? I would like to think the latter, as it would make sense as to why they weren't more reluctant to participate... How does Ace keep coming back after winning, and why would the DGP keep letting him in?
Quote:
Ace contradicts himself a lot, maybe intentionally. Like before, he tried to cheer up Keiwa by telling him he could change the world. But now, Ace put him down by telling him that no matter how noble his desire, he'll never beat him. While the DGP forbids foul play between Riders which is strictly enforced through disqualification, Ace has no problem using deception to persuade Keiwa to give up the Boost Raise Buckle. Fortunately, it was a limited-use item, so there are no consequences but it does teach Keiwa an important moral that he shouldn't be so easily trusting towards his rivals. As Taira failed to fulfill his desire, Ace also donates money for his son's operation, after claiming it was a lie that he wants to help unfortunate kids. So Ace is clearly a hero, but he doesn't care about appearing as one.
Won't drag down Ace's deeds to Taira's son, but yeah, this kind of action can be dismissed as only done to, well, selfishly boost their reputation when it gets known by others (yeah Ace donated it anonymously... but this'd happen even when the people they help talk about it in social media or such, not the person who didn't say anything, it'd be seen as, knowing and using the people they help to boost their image). Wealthy people similar like Neon is common to be subjected into that even if they use their money for good. Quote:
Episode was on the whole good though! Ace looks to be one of those guys who really wants you to think he's too cool for you even as he saves puppies in his spare time, Keiwa is hopelessly naive but is going to get that steely resolve as time wears on, and the others sure are there for now. Room to grow.

Very interesting show so far, I enjoyed watching this episode. Very high stakes and drama already, damn. I'm kind of fascinated by a main Rider who can be a huge douchebag sometimes. I mean they nerfed his attitude a bit in the end by showing his caring side, which they kind of need to do so the kids watching still cheer for him, but I wish they left that side of him a bit more hidden.

I liked the action this week and some of the early character interaction, but the stuff with Diet Tendou and Kagami Zero Sugar left me a bit flat. It's not that there was anything bad about it, just that it's stuff I've seen before in other tokusatsu shows. I immediately knew, for instance, that Ace was lying to steal Boost from Keiwa because it's what any other morally gray Rider would do in the situation. I could feel Inoue and Yonemura's DNA all over that scene. It looked good, but it felt very much like something that was just reused from Faiz or Kabuto. I'm sure the show will do more to differentiate itself as it goes along, but a lot of this episode felt very "been there, done that" in terms of building Keiwa and Ace as characters.

Perhaps, the real reason why Keiwa is in trouble due to Ace is because Boost is one-time use, thus Keiwa cannot take it back and use it anymore, otherwise it'd be only Ace borrowing it (unless you meant Ace keeping Boost to his huge advantage especially against Keiwa). Keiwa does can learn from this but dunno if you saw this about events that happen or Ace intentionally teaching him that (this excuse can be used on any single crimes like, the thief is just 'trying to teach people to be careful').
It's still too early for me to make any judgments about Ace's intentions, since he's such a mysterious protagonist for now, but I guess it's possible to be both, pragmatic deception for personal gain and teaching Keiwa a moral as a result, potentially helping him survive in a future scenario. Of course, Ace will only admit doing it for himself, as being unpredictable and contradictory is probably an asset in the game, like assuming a persona.

After rewatching, I noticed that a lot of the eliminated Riders who we never got to see transformed had ID Core symbols that aren't just recolors of the seven who did make it past the treasure hunt. Looking at the screen of all the DGP participants, I'm seeing zebras, dolphins, baboons, (probably) wolves and a couple other shapes I can't quite decipher.
I have to wonder if these are motifs of future Riders who'll get introduced later on... or maybe they just designed those symbols for the sake of visual variety in scenes where all the DGP participants are listed, maybe to be released as a P-Bandai item someday, forever leaving their transformed appearances to our imagination. |

I think it's interesting so far. I wonder who is going to be the most popular character. So far I like Ace,
