When it tried to be fun, it was really good, I like that.
I don't know what to think about the setting: fruit stuff, "breakdance is serious business", an Invess dealer... After what I heared about the writer other works, I'm curious how about the next 4 or 5 episodes will turn.

I thought it was interesting that the guy who picked the fruit that turned into locks was wearing a driver minus the rider face and blade. So it is actually the drivers when attached to someone that turn fruit into seeds. Neat.

I hope we see a fight in that forest, where they're just picking fruit and swapping through armours for different attacks.

Also "armoured rider" seems like it's evolving into Kamen Rider. Like maybe that won't be a name he gets until later. Afterall, it makes sense. He looks more armoured than masked. (though they never saw him ride anything so what the diddly?

I dunno man, I'm totally sold on the fruit. It's really well done so far and the symbolism is pretty awesome. I wonder how long the breakdancing will last and how much it will be used, since even though the characters seem invested in it, it almost looks like it's making a contras between serious problems and the "kids stuff" of dancing. They basically treat lock seeds as toys, but they're obviously quite dangerous. It's almost like it's setting up the characters for a wake up call along the lines of "your petty little games aren't serious, you're abuse of lock seeds for personal gain is, and it's gonna bite you and already has."

Also, I like how Kota realises using the belt for silly shit wasn't responsible, but he's not doing a total 180 since next episode looks like he'll still use it outside of fighting. (which I don't mind. Mucking around in the suit just gives me more time to see it. All I could think when I saw him in his house was "God I want that")

The dancers are "Beat Riders" so "Armored Rider" is just a transformation of it.

Btw next episode we get the bikes! Yay!

Oh, I see. I must've missed that.

That's... actually really clever and is a better explanation than we usually get.

That was a good episode. Loved how Kota kept trying out his powers and testing out henshin poses. Baron is cool also, yeah he's an elitist dick but he's willing to play fair.

Definitely a better episode then last week, was fun and interesting. Plus that tease of Zangetsu at the start... damn that suit is beautiful.

Yeah, that's nice. He's kind of typical secondary rider stuff, but he could've been a full on villainous rival, but it seems he's not so one dimensional. Plus, he was pretty generous betting that lock seed. Since A-class seem to be a big deal, it's like he was rewarding them for victory, since he wasn't so smug that he was just like "nah, no way I'll ever lose."

Zangetsu truly is an awesome design. I rarely like white like that but his design really pops.

Yeah, that shade of green as well with the gold trimming *drools* hopefully they pull it off when/if he gets a figuart.

Shame it seems like he's going to be a bit of a douche character wise though.

Man, this was better than the first. They touched on Yuyas dissapearance, Kouta just being crazy trying to find things to do with the Belt.

But, am I the only one getting a Marvelous feel from the way Kaito from Baron is dressed? I mean hes got the hairstyle somewhat, and the coat is just inverted colors of Marvelous' jacket :lol
