Episode 1: The Drifting Classroom
The episode starts out with 2 Invesses making out. Kidding, it starts out with groups of students being attacked by the Invesses. Badass Sougo - 1 comes in and starts fighting them. Cue another group of students also being attacked and Brainy Sougo -2 comes in and fights them. Both henshin and defeat the Invess, and they introduce themselves to the students. Curiously, they come from different schools. Badass Sougo is from Hanazono Academy and Brainy Sougo is from Misawa High School. We then go to Hikarigamori High School where we find Uhr majorly crushing on (our?) Prime Sougo - 3 . Hora splashes water to bring him back to earth and both go to Sougo and Geiz to give them love letters. Geiz, acting like a jerk, tears up Hora's love letter and Sougo actually appreciates Uhr's. Geiz drags Sougo off saying that Uhr's a guy. We then cut to a boarded up classroom where 3 students try to make a break for it outside, they get caught by Invess and rather graphically get eaten in front of the students (including Sougo, Geiz and Schwartz etc). Sougo wants to help, but Geiz stops him saying that they won't make it in time. Schwartz places papers with X's on the desks of the students that died. He says that there is no room for pity because they broke the school rules. It turns out that they have been trapped there for a month and the world outside is a wasteland filled with monsters. Schwartz goes on a rather unhinged rant about escaping from reality and having the students enjoy their student life. Uhr gets excited and hugs Prime Sougo saying that if this keeps up, they would be able to live together while Prime Sougo laughs sheepishly. Schwartz declares that romance is a perfect escape from reality and founds the Romance Club with Hora declaring herself as a master of love. That night, Prime Sougo and Geiz were having their dinner and their talk turn to their shrinking food supplies, being a savior, helping the students and Tsukuyomi. Turns out Tsukuyomi wasn't in the school when this started. Sougo then teases Geiz about Tsukuyomi. The dwindling food supply is getting worse and 3 students threaten another with a knife due to starvation. Schwartz beats up the 2 students and the third one is so upset, he jumps out the window and becomes Invess chow. Morning comes and we see Tsukuyomi in the forest. She then gets jumped by Invess and henshins into KR Tsukuyomi. She fights the Invess and we don't see what happens to her afterward. Hope she didn't get eaten. We then go to Badass Sougo's school where he gets on his motorbike to get help. His girlfriend Misa goes with him and they chop down Invess on the way. The Romance club starts their first meeting and Schwartz says some really cringey stuff about women. Hora then comes in and teaches Uhr how to grab a man's heart. Really weird interaction with Schwartz and Hora here, LOL. Prime Sougo on the other hand, started a mini festival in one of the classrooms with goldfish catching etc. Badass Sougo comes to Prime Sougo's school, asks for some sugar from Misa and henshins into Zio. Prime Sougo hears the commotion and also henshins in to Zio. Misa notices that there are 2 Sougos and Geiz comes in to help. The two Sougos beat the Invess and finally notices that there are two of them. Brainy Sougo then comes in and we get the Spiderman pointing meme. We then see a truck being driven by Tsukasa Kadoya. Preview for the next ep shows the other Sougos, an election for Class President, Zios fighting each other, Tsukuyomi being found in the forest by a kid(?) and Woz!

Given we're only seeing six Sougo's (Badass, Brainy, Prime, Bancho, Cute, and Wig)... and I'm not sure if the basketball one is coming into play in this one...
How much you wanna bet the kid that finds Tsukuyomi is like, a young Sougo? |

I know that Uhr crushing on Sougo is played for laughs but it is nice that Sougo wasn't a jerk to Uhr about that.

Well, that was weird. Not good; definitely not good. Maybe bad. Definitely weird.
Violence got extremely graphic in places. It feels really weird and honestly out of place to have gouts of blood, severed limbs, and obviously hollow rubber hands mixed in with the normally kid-friendly Zi-O cast. Are these new versions of the Geiz and Zi-O suits? Because either this is higher definition than I'm used to or these versions look really cheap. I'm not used to the undersuits being so obviously made out of fabric patches. Biggest sign that it's been a long time since I've seen or thought about Zi-O? I spent the entire episode wondering what was up with the random students we were focusing on (boy with the crush on Sougo and girl acting deeply inappropriately towards teacher) and why the actor playing the teacher looked kinda familiar. Didn't realize they were the Time Jackers until reading through the first post in this thread. That makes sense but doesn't make Hora's actions any less inappropriate. |

Apparantly the ZI-O suits are all from Stage Shows which would make sense since this is a low budget special and they needed multipe version of the base ZI-O suits for the 7 Sougo's. It could also be a case of you noticicing the suit actors being different from the ones from the actual show.

I wasn't expecting the Inves to go all Amazon like that!
Also, I know the gore and fake blood was meant to make the scene look incredibly distressing and shocking, but you can't expect me to take it seriously with the obvious rubber gloves and mannequins.

I kinda dug that they did, lol
Like out of all the standard Phase 2 monsters they do make the most sense to just go that hard. I mean after all, I doubt all those missing posters at the end of Gaim were cause people ate the fruit, pretty sure those were some Inves kills in there. It's just now we get to see em do it. |

Not that it matters in this special, but just saying.

So it's obvious that in Zi-O's mini-series they're utilizing the AU concept from Decade, which I'm surprised to see come back with these considering it hasn't been used with Decade since after Movie War 2010. Though you can say it did return in some form with Another Decade's arrival in Zi-O.
Part of me would have loved it if instead of Inves, they used some of the Amazons suits. Sougou and his 7 AU counterparts all dropped in a survival game set in a Decade-style AU Amazons world where they ravaged humanity as the new primary species? I'd be totally behind that. I liked the first episode overall. These Zi-O ridertime specials aren't afraid to be different, which I respect regardless of if the final product is good or not.

So... I feel like this is an important question given recent events.
What do you think Inves taste like? |
