Hiiro better not fucking die. And he better use that demon king form a good few more times before the show is over.

Remember the bugster was from a robot fighting game and they were with an old fashion robot theme to the point that I am amazed it didn't beep boop beep "Bugsters Superior, Riders Inferior". So the "Sleep Mode" thing probably just affects it if each bugster sticks to their game's theme. But who knows maybe your theory could be right with the next episode.

The way he says he has nothing to lose sounds so depressed it's as if he read the script for some later episodes and realized what would happen Though it's kinda funny as his actor's favourite Rider wasn't from Ryuki unlike the others but Necrom

Aaaanyways, that was a frickin' awesome episode. I got way too excited when Hiiro started doing parkour, Taddle Fantasy was really cool, and both Hiiro and Emu got some nice moments. The next episode looks crazy too. I really liked Hiiro in this episode, I think they took his characterization in a better direction that just generic Heisei secondary rider, which is always good in my book.

Hot dang that was literally everything I was hoping it'd be. One of my favorites of the series so far. Thoughts abound on this one:
- *No opening* You know what? Whatever. You do you, Ex-Aid. At least the song fit nicely into the last scene this time. - So I guess Emu's virus breaking out turned him into a bad caricature of himself? He's acting so obsessed with games it gives the impression he's some kind of sociopath. Between the way he acts as a Rider, that one flashback, and how we know he always wanted to be a doctor, nothing has ever suggested M is this much of a jerk. I'm just going to chalk this up to Ex-Aid's ever confusing internal logic and move on, but for the record, stuff like this is why Emu isn't even in the running for favorite Rider for me right now. He was promising early on but the show has been treating him like an object for a while now. Presumably by the time he gets his next power-up, things will pick back up for the poor guy. I mean, this is HIS show, right? - So, Hiiro is the man now. He's been exhibiting some pretty nice character development already, and this episode cemented that exactly how I wanted it to. Everything's gone to crap, the only one with a Gashat is Emu, who's not exactly in a sound state of mind, and there's a patient to save, so what does Hiiro do? He gets s*** done. What a guy. I think he's surpassed Kiriya as my favorite Rider in Ex-Aid at this point. He even actually earned his new toy! Nobody in Ex-Aid does that! That little moment at the end with him tossing Emu his Gashat back was also perfect. - He doesn't get to be Ex-Aid, though. That was a commercial break, too! What a tease! This show really enjoys trolling the viewers, doesn't it? - Wait, Dan, what do you mean he can't use a Level 50 Gashat because he's only up to Level 5? What? Is that how Gashats work? Is that why Ex-Aid and Snipe could suddenly just use Drago Knight Hunter Z by themselves? You can't just throw this s*** out there, man! I'm struggling to keep up as it is! - Oh, so you just defeat a Bugster that's taken over somebody's body by blowing them up like normal? How convenient. I was thinking it'd be like Drive or something where they'd make a big fuss about it. - Also, Dan continues to simultaneously win and lose and the same time. He's seriously in like, villain purgatory, or something at this point. I suppose he is undead. I think. They never really explained that very well either.

Hmm...I am really want they add opening again in next episode...maybe they will add Pallad as Para-DX and Hiiro as Brave Fantasy Gamer in opening scenes.... Last edited by Blade Fang; 02-22-2017 at 06:17 PM.. |

Oh jeez, 5 episodes in a row with no opening and they put the main song at the end of the episode again. At this point I'm certain the editing team for KR Amazons are running the show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moving on to the episode itself. Woo!!! That fight was awesome! Fantasy Brave perfectly captures the feel of a rpg's final boss; summoning his own minions, telekinesis, even the pose he makes while he was floating down looks like it was ripped out of a old rpg, it's just amazing. Also, powerful Bugsters can just go into sleep mode inside a patient's body if they're in a jam apparently. (sarcasm mode on) Gee... I wonder if that's going to be an important detail? Oh, and yeah Gemn apparently does get a riders weapon upon collecting their gashat (I guess he downloads the weapon's files or something.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interesting thing to note, the rest of the CR staff (mainly Hiiro) were theorizing that the "M" personality is the bugster despite the show originally hinting that "Emu" was the bugster with how he said he starting hitting the books 6 years ago when he first got infected. I was initially confused by this until Hiiro's big line "That's the Emu I know!" (I'm watching with Excite subs). Meaning that; depending on how the issue is resolved when they finally "cure" Emu, this might actually be a situation where the audience knows something the characters don't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lastly. Welp, Taiga's going into Episode 3-8 Mode again, although I'm sure we'll get to see more next episode, at least we now sorta know why he wants all the gashats. |

See, that's more or less the same assumption I'm running on, but, and I've probably said this before, the problem is that the show leaves me to make that assumption. I'm not asking for the show to pull over and blandly exposit every little detail, but Ex-Aid's world-building game is weak. The mechanics of the setting beyond the most basic level are left to the viewer's imagination in a way that feels less like it has clear rules but just hasn't explained them and more like it just makes stuff up as it goes along.
It's not the most damning issue in the world, and for how much I whine about it in these threads it's yet to really take me out of the moment, but given how often I saw people get extremely hung up on throwaway lines during Ghost, I'm surprised to see how ready people are to not only brush off, but attempt to rationalize every weird thing that happens or is said in Ex-Aid.
