Let's Watch Wednesdays Week 7 Kamen Rider Blade 19-21 Discussion
 

I haven't posted lately because of where I was at in the series before this lets watch started,but now were getting close.I love the struggle of the Leangle Buckle and it's user.It adds character to the user and shows that it truly is a powerful buckle.This is also the point were seeing Blade,Chalice,and Garren have become a normal thing,so Leangle's apperance is good timing.The series is doing great up to this point.

And thus the ever revolving Delta built continue to circulate like an STD. Wait... wrong series.

Thank the gods Kiryu is gone though. I must admit, I love the lighting used when Kiryu walked into the building injured and Mutsuki took the belt back. In fact, this show does a lot of really cool lighting effects whether it be for a night time battle, Kiryu lying on the floor injured after being rejected by the Garren belt, to the scene I just referred to.

With that said, we also come to the part of Stalker Garren. :-p I do like that he becomes a mentor figure for Mutsuki though

And of course, KAORU!!! Okay, not here, but now we are getting to the top dog Undeads, which is down right awesome. I still have to laugh that the Capricorn Undead is a queen. However, I just do not understand why the Japanese are always obsessed with hiding who a villainous character is when we already know fully well who it is. There was no need to hide Miyuki in front of a bright light when the Capricorn was talking to her. We already guessed it last episode.

Oh yeah, and everyone has all of their cards back, YAY!!!

Well we learn one thing from Kiryu's time as Leangle, if you want to stop him from using Remote on your cards, keep him busy. And by busy I mean shoot the crap out of him :lol. I like that Tachibana is trying to train Mutsuki, because having him in charge of his abilities would be better than the Spider Undead calling the shots...at least on paper anyway. We have some of the higher ranked Undead showing up. I know the last few episodes have been about building Leangle up, but it's nice to having some baddies with personalities(even though Capricorn didn't last long). Finally, I loved how Hajime tried to play off saving Kotaro's butt twice :lol

I'm loving Garren now. Total badass move shooting at Leangle so he could stop the total dick move of turning his cards back into undead. And is anyone hating mitsuki's girlfriend? I mean seriously, What kind of girl puts up with that kind of stuff with a smile on her face? But at least he's becoming a better person, I just wish it was for I don't know, say his girlfriend rather than wanting to get rid of a memory of being in a cold dark alone place which later turned into a kidnapping.

I didn't expect Kiryu to fail already! And it's good to know the meaning about Mutsuki's darkness. I'm also starting to like his character a lot more than before. I totally love the Undead, Miyuki and would love to see more female Undeads.

Glad to see Kiryu go. Seems like in most shows you get that one character who just gets shoved into the middle of the plot out of the blue for a short stint. Glad to see his was indeed very short.

Can't wait to see Mutsuki take better control of Leangle, under Tachibana's guidance he has to succeed. While we're on Garren, I've seen some people say they don't like him as much now like he takes a back seat. I like him much much more now than in the first 15 or so episodes. He seemed to have nothing driving him at that time, just blind rage most of the time. His character seemed to have no direction or personality traits other than, I'm scared and I'm a dick. He felt like a really empty character. But now he has more purpose and seems more enjoyable.

Yeah, I really hate Nozomi. That is why I wished Mutsuki had strangled her back in episode 16.

As for your question about smiling, it's Japan.

YES, it would have given him so much depth if he was trying to control the belt because it killed his girlfriend, but that might be too dark for Kamen rider, at least for anything other than an ending. And true, this is the first time I've seen a relationship that didn't end in death or marriage within a few episodes of it being revealed, so I'm not to sure how Japanese relationships work in the long term.
