Pretty much.


Probably not a top series for me still, but I'm at least not pissed off because I waited a week for the next episode to suck anymore.

This episode had what I consider one of the best things about superheroes, not just Kamen Riders: it isn't all about the main character.

Shin was in a bind, and couldn't actively participate in the fight, so another Rider stepped up and saved the day for him.

I like it when someone can write a superhero story, like Grant Morrison's Justice League or the Avengers, where the win isn't always secured by just one person on the team (*cough* Goku *cough* Saiyans *cough*).

Also Gou is carrying some mad guilt there.

I find myself oddly respecting Chief Honganji a ton more after this episode. The speech he gave Shinnosuke shows that he's no fool. He's more like the DJ Sagawa of this series.

Gou being mopey and dreary with guilt is even more obnoxious than when he's being flamboyant. But it makes more sense now about his reasoning. I actually feel like the statement that he's running out of time is due to his ability to become Mach. Even from the beginning, while his power is supposed to be greater than Drives, it has a limit. Shinnosuke can use Drive's abilities and Shift Cars because of his will power, and that is how he's able to control Type Formula, even at high speeds.

Chaser....we're still seeing the same formula where he's just in there for a fight. I don't know if we'll ever see more development out of him, so whatever. At least the gimmicks are cool. And we get to see how the Ride Boosters fit into the movie.

Oh, and Kiriko, you're gonna have to work harder on that slap. You haven't reached Gaim Mai slapping Micchy levels of slappage. Learn from the pros, lean into it for more power. Slap til he can taste it.

You know that Gou and Kiriko are children of Professor Banno?

While Kiriko doesn't know that Banno was her father, Gou wants to destroy all Roidmudes especially Chase to clean out his father's sin before his sister found out the truth about Her Father murdered by 3 Roidmudes

:lolol What would you rate Kirko's slap?

This episode was very good, but gosh, I wonder why did people pick "poor" for their choice?

I not sure who picked it but they might have problems with the fact that the sudden plot twist that the Gou and Kiriko's father is the professor Banno aka the catalyst for why bad thing are happening and somehow Gou knows this and Kiriko doesn't and that part might bug people.

I thought it was great plot twist.

I have theory of why Gou know about Professor Banno as his father but Kiriko doesn't know it because maybe Mr. Belt did tell Gou about his father when Gou become Kamen Rider Mach and tries to kept secret from Kiriko because this secret as Banno as Kiriko's father would shock her.

I'm pretty sure it's the same person who's been voting poor on a lot of the episodes even before they air. On the Banno point, we never really found out anything about him beyond him being a colleague of Krim and his creation of Roidmudes. Kirko not knowing about her relation to Banno is kinda odd but that's only that way because we don't know much about Kirko's and Gou's past. I seriously hope these mysteries will be revealed in the show and not in Type Tokujo.

I was really hoping that they weren't going to put those stupid go-carts in the show.
