Kuroto is officially a Game Genie.

Assuming that Gorider is canon, does this mean Baron, Marika, Another Agito and Lazer were doomed to fail from the start, and thus sacrificed themselves for nothing?

Given how much that plot felt like a Phantom one, and given Dan is very familiar with previous Kamen Riders and even used Wizard in his own special, it might have ended up reviving him as a Phantom...meaning he'd only be able to be hurt by magic, which none of the Ex-Aid Riders have, barring maybe Hiiro.

So I wouldn't say it was for nothing, as Bugster Dan is more easily manageable than a possible Phantom Dan.

Not very surprised about how Kuroto come back, but it's still pretty cool none the less. I love how he first shows up with graphical errors all over his suit. It was a nice touch alongside the fact that Poppy now has some control over the psychotic game glitch.

The large battle was pretty interesting too. I had ended up looking up a bunch of the riders' stats a few days ago and saw that 99 Para-Dx has slightly lower stats than maximum, which I think was reflected in this episode. Parad had his work cut out for him, though still kind of won in the end so that Lvl 0 could be shown off.

Also, GIRL KAMEN RIDER FIGHT YES PLZ DONT DIE. I haven't actually seen any of the other series that have female riders (minus Wizard and kind-of Fourze) so I'm really hyped for them being here. Though I am kind of disappointed that aside from Revol we haven't actually seen Nico defeat any Bugsters.

If that were the case, wouldn't he be unable to use the Gamer Driver? There's gotta be some of Dan's human DNA in him for that to work, especially when literally the last episode made such a big deal about it.

If the current Bugster Dan is just a copy of the original Dan, then they could always revive him using backup memories of the original Dan. He might be able to make duplicate copies of himself. Also, I can see trapping Dan in the buggle2 as a running gag in the next few episodes. It's quite clever they use "doctors" to promote the C drink. I remember the C drink commercials as early as Hibiki or Kabuto.

Something I REALLY liked about this episode. Dangerous Zombie always had those awkward yet creepy movements. Genm 0 had that too but to the point it outright hindered him as if he's not entirely used to fighting anymore

Well could be like when your a playing game with a infinite lives code and your skills start to diminish because you don't need to try as much when you have infinite lives.

This was a great episode and I'm surprised at how happy I was to see Dan not only come back, but to hear his theme music play too. Little sad we didn't get to see Baron Brave beat up a bugster, but once again, mighty action X level 0 made up for it for me.

On one hand, I liked the old Genm theme
On the other hand WHERE THE EVERLOVING FUCK IS WISH IN THE DARK?
