Yeah. It will probably be a case of Specter showing up late into the episode. Getting the Eyecon before Takeru and leaving again.

To further support the idea that Specter already has Tutankhamen though, he's actually glimpsed holding the Cobra Cellular at the end of this episode. I guess Ghost had the Condor Phone before getting Robin, but I wouldn't doubt that because we saw the phone's true purpose in this episode, showing us the Cobra means that Specter already has his first Eyecon.

This was my favorite episode so far (together with the first), even though it the plot was a bit obvious. I liked how the characters all started to specialize on a task and supported each other and it was really cool to see Takeru taking action for his character motivation. If this is how the show will be like in the future, I'm in.
Also, the music in the flash back at the beginning of the episode was awesome!

I didn't mind the first episode at all, but man, the pacing in these two last episodes has been pretty funky. Especially for this one it definitely does feel like they crunched up two-parters into a single episode. It's not wonderful.

And I guess it's because of that that the ~mystery~ in this one was no mystery. It's not like they had more time in a single episode to telegraph "hey this is the culprit you guys."

That scene shift during the first fight from indoors to Under That One Bridde was pretty ridics, too.

Eh, it was a fine episode otherwise. Akari wasn't annoying in this one at all, as opposed to the last two where she just sat on her ass yelling "I DONT BELIEVE IN NOTHIN" she actually did constructive things this time around with ~science~, so that was cool. Seeing all the Damashii so far used was also neat, Robin is pretty cool. (I am rather bothered by the fact that the show Eyecon is labeled "Robin Hood" while the toys just say "Robin," though. Kinda odd)

That Makoto tease at the end though. I'm looking forward to next week, though I do hope they sort out the pacing...though since it's looking like we may be getting an average of one new form per episode up to around February, it does look like they're going to keep blowing through story after story extremely quickly.

I like how they did not just throw the Edison away for this episode and actually used it, and they did not have Takeru just get his ass kicked for no reason either so the enemy could run away, of course he still runs away but hey at least it was not a two parter.

I am starting to wonder if Yurusen and the old man are just tricking the main character though.

They do seem to be cramming a lot of stuff in here at the start though, likely for a better toy sale, its clear that they are putting to much into each episode currently but the pace will probably get better when the majority of toys are covered.

I assume at least, other then that I am enjoying Ghost so far and the armor and monster designs have been pretty good so far, the action is not bad either.

Does anyone know who played the reporter? She looked really familiar. Was she on a Sentai?

Good episode, but I do agree that it felt a little rushed. I don't think I'd have wanted to see it stretched out to two full episodes, though.

Onari is turning int Shunpei. I am not happy about this. The show is a bit less obnoxious than Drive, but the "comedic" overreactions are definitely back.

I believe she had a role in the Kamen Rider W Returns: Kamen Rider Accel movie.

edit: this lady. She was also apparently in that one Gavan movie.

And yeah, Onari went over-the-top in this episode. There was one "yelling straight at the camera" moment in episode 2, this one had like a dozen. Way too much. Hopefully it tones down in the future instead of getting worse...

Onari wouldn't have gotten himself caught if he wasn't yelling all the god damned time, I mean jesus christ....

Ah, she was Arisa in Ultraman Ginga S (which I still need to finish watching)! I knew I'd seen her regularly in something. Thanks. :thumb:

So... How does the Ganma influence work exactly? They find a person who resonates with the hero's item and the more the Ganma is able to fill their mind with bad intentions, the closer they get to summoning the ghost? But only in the vicinity of the said item I guess? I don't understand.

How does Takeru's seal work then? Is it when the person shows similarities to the hero? Is the Ganma trying to elicit emotions that contradict the hero in that case?
