I hate it. the only design from this show so far I completely cant get behind.

seems like they just blew their load on the base forms.

The Design feels really really lazy. Its just Mach and Drive thrown together and it just doesnt work.

I have a feeling that Gou put his trust in a Roidmude and ended up being betrayed in some shape or form. Hence why he thinks all Roidmudes are evil.

That can happen.

Perhaps the Roidmude Gou met must be 001.

Sorry, but I just can't shake off the feeling 001 is the true main antagonist. After all, Banno did create ALL the Roidmudes, so to me its obvious Cobra 001 must've took on Banno's younger form as his disguise to formulate his plans to rule the world.

He must've evolved during his time in America when he met Gou.

Guess I'm thinking of Dr. Gero & Cell. I mean for spirit, Heart represents the human heart (the soul) of the human body and a car's engine. Brain represents the human mind and the car's navigation system.

If 002 is Heart and 003 is Brain, then 001 would be evolved into a Roidmude that represents the entire human body (its cells, genes, flesh, everything) even a car's armor/alloy.

Wish Gou got to know Chase more if they use Ride Crosser again. Maybe in some other dimension if Gou and Chase are forced to work together.

Well, didn't see this conclusion with 096 coming TBH, that was cool and surprising.
And then just... reseting Chase, and now it's status quo again, seriously ? :(

really liked this episode. Loved the double rider kick. Just something that all the shows have kind of been missing. The bike chase was great. If this is a tone setting episode I am all for it.

Absolutely loved this episode and its by far my favorite right now.

The story was intriguing and really well done, the twist ending completely blew my mind since I hadnt seen this coming at all. ALl the chracters got nice character stuff to do and we got hints at Gous hatred for the Roidmudes and Medic having some secret abilities that make her much more than just a sexy 1-Up Mushroom.

The action was also quite good in this one and although its sad that Drive did his kick without Tridoron I cant really complain since I´m a sucker for a good Rider Double Kick.

And on top of that we didnt get any of those stupid jokes that plagued the show up until now. No weird close ups or any editing hijinx.

Have to say I really enjoyed the episode and the double rider kick was pretty awesome. Brain and Medic are going to in a world of hurt if Chase ever breaks free again and is informed of the pushing of the reset button. Also while it was very funny and neat I'm kind of glad that Gou stopped the speach after henshin. I hope dead heat turns out well but I have a hard time picturing it make a better entrance than Kachidoki Arms

Also how come eps 13 and 14 are sticky'd but this one isn't?
