… Oh, I can't stay mad at you. I know what it's like to have a favorite character die (Peter. :()

I love this show soooo much! Episode 14 really amped up the drama.

Curious to see how Jonouchi will react to Hase's death.

So we finally have a confirmed death (or two...or three) in this series. I'm sad to see Hase go out the way he did but I'm glad the stakes have finally been raised in this series. And bravo for Kamen Rider finally getting a little dark again! I absolutely love this show and where it is headed!

okay guys, these twist were so obvious being a piece of Urobuchi's work, but damn this stuff is so good.

i knew this show would be dark and i am so damn happy it is, i am so glad to have a good rider show return to darkness after all these years

watching madoka really showed me just how potentially dark kamen rider gaim can be and i am so excited about it

My only complaint is: Episode 14 just set the bar EXTREMELY high. I'm hoping this series doesn't lose steam but again, it's the fact that recent toku has made us accustomed to pointless filler arcs, recap episodes and a story that doesn't pick up until midway through.

But that might not be a problem. There's enough loose ends to at least account for episodes up until mid-thirties.

Sid is a twisted bastard considering he basically put Hase in his position and was the one who put him down. The fact that Bravo is running around all loose cannon-esque makes me strangely happy. And since we already know Micchy tried to get Kouta to stop being a Rider before, I wouldn't be surprised if Micchy tried to use what he knows as leverage.

The simple fact that Micchy tried to get Kouta to relinquish his power but hasn't given up his own is also quite noteworthy.

Precisely what I've been saying! I'm with you on this, buddy.

Plus whatever happens after Gaim, in either franchise, is going to seem pretty damn tame. Not that I'm complaining about having something like this to watch every week...

So, just a question, what exactly is that fountain/park they always film at? The one where the Energy Riders appeared? It's in almost every Toku show.

Honestly, I'm not all that impressed with the whole 'some Invess used to be human' thing as a twist. I know Sid saying that killing InvessHase was a heroic thing is supposed to be a big shock, but he's not exactly wrong. Hase was going around hurting and potentially killing people, and there's no real evidence to suggest he could have been saved. Even when he partially turned back, he still just acted like an Invess that looked human.

It just strikes me as being an obvious twist that doesn't really add anything new to the story but angst potential.

Great episode loved it, would of liked if they introduced Mirikas character but still neat, and if would like to see some more Energy Riders, but it would still be okay if they didn't. I can now see Michy hating Kouta, for killing Yumma? Man I already forgot the name of that dude, and ain't Yumma in DBZ? Anyway, I sorta want all the NRG Riders merchandise. But still seeing Hase go I almost cried which was good since the first death of Ryuki wasn't special, well none of the deaths were.
