That makes sense. Better than Sid being stupid enough to fall for that obvious trap.

I'd say it's because Kaito now sees Kouta as being strong and only worthy of being defeated by Lemon Kaito.

And what's the term the overlords describe themselves as?

Yeah, Kaito is definitely the Kamen Rider version of Kaiba. :-p I made jokes about it before, but his episode just cinched it.

Another great episode, especially after the meh from last week's interruption. However, I doubt Sid is dead. After all, there isn't a body to confirm he is dead, and without a body, there is no guarantee. If he really is gone, then that sucks as he was one of my favorite characters in the show and I expected him to be the main bad guy.

There's no body because there is no body; Sid is, at best, a kind of thick jelly now.

I think the best part was Micchy Micchying it up by letting Sid go through the trap while he sits back comfortably. Such a devious bastard.

He kind of got literally squished between a wall of rock, the Overlord split the thing open, threw Sid in it, and slammed it shut. Its not like Takatora being thrown over a mountain where he could safely fall, albeit some injuries, this was straight up juiced. Strangely, he became what his driver does. :lol

Sid's actor got those flowers they give to actors who have finished filming and won't be back. Sid is dead.

No, there's a body. It's just hard to see from all the flatness :p

Sid is dead dead dead. To speculate otherwise at this point would be foolish. His lock & driver were obliterated so that means there was no last second henshin to save him. And two halves of a damn mountain sandwiched him like so much peanut butter and jelly. He dead.

You see Sid is another good example of what is in my opinion "too many Riders".

His death was great but he was initially presented with so much mystery, and then the show shifted to suggest he might become the next major villain and then he died. And if he really is gone, then for a character who began with so much build up he basically achieved nothing at all, was utterly pointless and could have been cut all together.

And before someone says "but Hase", I think the last time that was even brought up was in that Gridon Bravo filler episode and the last time it was important was never.
