Well, the brand is called Do A Rat, but I really can't help you beyond that. What I'm more amazed about is that jacket costing 50,000 yen.

I know everyone is gonna call me an idiot for this...but I'm a little lost... what is the difference between the cracks opening on their own and what the Beat Riders were already going? Why is Yggdrasill working so hard to hide the one on the bridge? Is it because no one summoned it so that'll freak people out? Either way, holy fuck Yggdrasill are like evil, like really fucking mega evil, Jesus. This show got dark out of nowhere, the stakes just fucking LEAPT.

At first I was like 'hey why does Cherry energy give super speed?' then I remembered just how fucking hyper cherryade made me as a kid, mix that with all the citrus acid in an orange and fucking balls it's gonna get mental, as it did. :lol It's a shame though that honestly, the action in this show kinda sucks. There were lots of "epic" moments this episode, that I felt just fell kinda flat given how limp wristed a lot of the fighting in this show is. That was easily the biggest let down for me, for an otherwise great episode.

Probably the highlight of the episode though is to see Micchy getting so hot under the collar. The guy is a total dick rag, so I especially love every moment that functions as a collective reason for everyone to boo and hiss at him. BOO, HISS *CHUCKS GONE OFF VEG*

Well umm uh wow, one of the best episodes this far?

How does Gaim keep being so good?

Will anyone ever learn about Hase?

Anywho the story of this season is really good, probably the best since W, although I will admit the action of this show pretty much sucks compared to older seasons.

Now I want to see Micchy confess to everyone that he's been working with Yggdrassil, and that the leader is his brother, and yay! More blond Mai and new Invess dude, and Kachidoki arms!

Now comparing Gaim to other seasons, it's incredible to see where Kamen Roder has gone over the years, in terms of action, toys, suits and plot.

Well another 5 episode, hope we see like a rider special, like how we did with Ryuki.

I agree.

I agree. Yggdrasil is definitely the bad guy here.

:lol

Yeah. I had hoped Kaito would be a good guy in the end, but He's not going to be. Anyway, Takatora's whole talk with Kouta in the end. That was not a fair comparison, Melonhead. Kouta didn't know that was Yuuya, and that was a "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" situation, Yggdrasil's plan is "The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many"

It was nice to see Kouta just go for broke, and say "Forget it! I'm tired of their crap! I'm taking them down!" I'm sure in the end, Kouta will find a third option, and stop Helheim, and I have a feeling that it will either mean his death, or him becoming the overlord Inves. If not that, then I'm dang sure He'll need to sacrifice something. Or Urobochi could pull a Mass Effect 3, I don't know.

Anyway, We're at most halfway through this series, and I feel like this is stuff that should be happening in the third quarter of a series, so I'm cautiously optimistic for this show's future.

Yeah Yggdrasil's plan is very sick too me. I am cautiously optimistic too, I really hope this series has a happy ending, (Faiz ended up with a nice ending.) and that it is a kid's show that it will very likely will be but I think some characters will die.

At this point I'm hoping Ryouma dies and he's one of my favorites.

I think Gaim is gonna have a bitter-sweet ending like most of Gen's other works.Saving the world is not going to come easy and even if Kouta found a magical solution to save everyone , it's going to cost him a lot.

The more I think about it, the more I think that while Kachidoki Arms are coming out next episode, events will most likely conspire to keep him from using it every episode, especially since we haven't seen the two other Jinba forms.

Makes you wonder when Kiwami Arms are coming out, huh?

I'm thinking that is it. Up until now, the Yggdrasil plan was to blame the Beat Riders for bringing the Inves in or at least through the use of Lock Seeds. If cracks can actually appear out of nowhere, the public would have lost a scapegoat to blame on, and panic might ensue.

I was thinking why Yggdrasil would take such extreme measures to seal Helheim in, and I realized that Takatora provided that bit too. They'd have to murder as many people as they can anyway, so why not start now?

The acting in the show thus far has all been quite good.

Even the random extras have been given pretty believable performances. The tension in the bunker was so thick and I thought for certain that someone was gonna flip out over the Beat Riders being inside with them.

On that note, bringing them to the bunker while having good intensions probably wasn't the best of Miichi's plans. I mean what if all hell really did break loose in there? They'd pretty much have no where to run.
