Some times I just don't understand. One second Kouta is teaming up with a rider the next their enemies. I wouldn't mind this if wasn't so sudden most of the times.

I just wonder how long Bravo, Gridon, Sigurd, and Marika are gonna last. I really only see Gaim, Baron, and maybe Ryugen lasting. Zangestu is kind of iffy. If Micchy decides to kill him, then i really hope he dies as well. I can kind of see Kouta and Kaito battling it out as the last two riders.

I guess the thing is that there are no factions. Like in a war, factions change all the time, depending on who can assist who at any current moment. The important thing is that their principles are at least consistent, even if the methods of achieving their goals may change.

So, Kiwami Arms.

The plot thickens.

Just a thought. Remember when Baron used to summon Invess without a care, treating it as part of his moveset? Considering his current attitude is "I don't care, unless you're strong", do you think he can still summon Invess as an energy rider, or is he somehow not able to now. Better yet, will Urobuchi remember that this was his thing and have him do it again, or is that plot point done? He could definitely piss of Deemushu by sending his own mooks after him, after he initially summons them.

But when was the last time he did that? Can they even summon Invess like that in Hellheim? If the Overlords come out to the real world side, then I can see Kaito tryin that one.

I'm reasonably certain the Overlords are actually capable of assuming control (sorry) of summoned Inves, though. Someone as studious and clever as Kaito would have probably figured that out already; someone less in the know, like Jounuichi, Oren, or Mai, probably would try that trick ONCE and have it backfire spectacularly.

Speaking of Mai, as there was some talk a few pages back about her possibly receiving a Driver either in the series (not likely) or in the AU movie (possible), I'm wondering if she'd get either a direct variant or offshoot of Orange Arms; the Musou Saber and Daidaimaru combine into a Naginata-like weapon and, traditionally, what's the weapon of female nobles/Samurai's wives?

Given his blind grab for power, Im not sure what Kaito thinks anymore :lol

Id hope it would just be a Peach Lockseed normal version and she gets a normal driver. Maybe Micchy bites the dust and gets his rewritten. We can hope right?

I mean if we have Melon and Matsubokkuri Energy seeds, whats stopping us from having normal Lemon, Peach, and Cherry? :lol

I don't know if Micchy needs to bite it if he takes on Shin Zangetsu full time from now on. Oh. Hmm. That does put the opening in a new light...

Anyway, Duke and Marika at least have precedents for their base forms; Duke is a recolor of Baron, and Marika of Ryugen. Sigurd/Cherry Energy doesn't really have a Sengoku equivalent, the closest I can think of being Gridon due to the shared Viking motif.
