This show just keeps piling in the goodness...! Next Episode is gonna be the grand tie-in for Hiiro's character development. Will he choose to stick to the past & save his girlfriend, or will he move on to the future & save Taiga, the very person who failed to save Saki in the first place? This is gonna speak VOLUMES for his character to be able to show full forgiveness to Taiga, after all this time of resenting him.

I still love Masamune as villain because his evil plan has business connection like to sell his games. This really remind me to Gaia Memory distribution.

Sometime...I has feeling if Hinata will become final boss if Masamune killed in episode 41. So, final game arc (episode 41-48/49) will be focused to Hinata if he become last villain.

I have the same feeling too. I highly expect that Masamune won't last to the finale and might get killed like Redyue before the end game arc. I also have a feeling that Hinata actually knows more than we know. Back before Kiriya 'died', there's so many foreshadowing that Hinata is actually not a pretty good guy like we all know, as per Kiriya's words. But, it seems to be left off out of the bat in favor of Dan's craziness, Rider Chronicle, and Emu and Parad's relationship. Still, I highly doubt this will happen because we already have a good candidate for the final boss, which is Gemdeus. Even if he is not the final villain, I'm pretty sure Parad will take his place near the end of the series.

On a side note, do you guys remember about Mighty Brothers? The form hardly appears lately. However, what I want to talk is, do anyone know the meaning about the Level 'XX'. I think it holds more significant compared to the other Level X Riders. I remembered that Kuroto says that it only refers to the divide of Emu into two forms. But, I don't think it's just that. I really hope this Level XX will prove something bigger. It's odd actually to see them keep the Mighty Brothers in the OP if they could easily erase them to show Poppy, Cronus, or even Lazer Turbo.

I'm sure Hinata would be the true bad guy too. Maybe along with Gemdeus too.

But I'd love to see Emu & Parad duke it out Snake vs Liquid style. But with Parad becoming both Genm (without the zombie) & Para-DX.

I think it's more possible for Emu and Parad to fight for the last time using Mighty Brothers. Remember, back in episode 29, Mighty Brothers can split Ex-Aid into two individual personalities. Regarding this, Parad always want a rather fair and fun fight. If he stays only as Perfect Knockout without anymore upgrades, he will be a trash in front of Muteki. So, what's more fair for them to duke it out using Might Brothers, since it gives them an equal level and a very fair fight.

Parad will probably be spared or permanently merged with Emu so Emu can still transform. Unless, future movies involving Ex-Aid revives Parad or something lol.

Besides that, ep was awesome. Kuroto's only scene was a funny one as usual. Why do villains love to spill their grand plan? xD
Looks like Hiiro is going to rejoin Emu's side soon. I seriously hope Taiga gets a last minute upgrade unless Hiiro is the one to finish off Graphite.

As for the final boss...it could be Parad? Masamune? Maybe even Kuroto because he may take control of KRC once his dad is out since he says its his game after all. The other possibility is Hinata since Kuroto mentioned his name way back in episode 11.

This really reminds of late-game Gaim where you weren't necessarily sure who would be the end boss.

Micchy? Redyue? Ryoma? DJ Sagara (well, it depends on your point of view)? Nope, it turns out to be Kaito all along.


Likewise, I'm not sure who it's going to be here. Could very well still be Masamune. Or it could be Kuroto, who still hasn't totally tossed aside his villainy. It could be Gemdeus, or Pallad. Or, as everybody has been suggesting, Hinata. Or it could be someone totally new.

Of course, no good Ex-Aid theory is complete without the obligatory "Well, it could also be Hiiro's dad".

True. Maybe they can use that in their fight too.

Emu vs Parad

- Ex-Aid vs Genm
- Mighty Bros. XX
- Ex-Aid vs Para-DX

Going level by level.

I liked how Niko was eating Niconicorn in that once scene where she was talking to Taiga, haha. I see some people are complaining about the writing for Hiiro but I've just been so thrilled to have a character like Ren who isn't completely terrible imo, and I think his characterization is consistent, although certainly desperate. I feel like Hiiro is PROBABLY not going to kill Taiga (and some of you have probably seen episode descriptions and will tell me), but man he has all these death flags! I swear though, Emu is too good for all these people, poor guy. As a final note, I'll throw in my hat for the final villain of Ex-Aid being the Ministry of Health guy.

Parad's not going to be Genm. He has no reason to be.

Furthermore, going by the True Ending, I wouldn't be surprised if it were Gemdeus, with Kagenari being set up in the closing Episodes as well.
