Man, this episode went places. I didn't expect the concentrated bloodbath of Nanba characters, but it was brutal and effective. I'm curious to see where Utsumi goes now, because it looks like he's gone completely insane now. I don't see that ending well for him.

I liked the stuff with Katsuragi and Gentoku. It was a neat scene and helped play up the idea that there's a lot more Katsuragi in Sento than I assumed up until now.

And we finally get Genius next week. That is really late, as far as final forms go. Assuming a standard series length, there are only 10 episodes left and we should be seeing Zi-O images by the end of the month. I know the show has been doing a good job of continually introducing new toys, but holding the ultimate form back to this late in the game feels a little weird. Not unwelcome, mind you, just weird. I've gotten used to the ultimate form showing up around the episode 30 mark, not 40.

Misora will be the only one who can save both of them in order to bring them both in peace.

How will Katsuragi go to memory lane of Sento?

that was a good episode. Lately the past (few?) episodes have felt a bit like the show was idling, but this episode felt like they're starting to step on the gas again.

Also Evolt displayed (imo) more personality this episode than lately. I was starting to get a bit bored with him and missed the Coffee Shop Owner,..but he had some swagger again this episode that reminded me of Blood Stalk.

Not bad at all, I guess we're in the home stretch and rounding third.

I personally like it that the Secondary Rider has been allowed to be the most powerful for a while now. It's a bit different than the norm. Obviously going to change next week, but still.

I also like it that Katsuragi doesn't know how to use RabbitRabbit since it's something he's never seen before. It's a nice little touch. I also like how he's very different from his reputation. It's a reminder that how people are portraying isn't really what they are liked. The evil scientist never really existed and while he may have done some questionable things, we see here that his intentions were good and he tried to prevent a lot of the things that did happen. Seno and Katsuragi won't be that hard to reconcile after all as they really aren't that much different.

Build Genius Form debut in episode 39 just like Faiz Blaster Form debut episode in episode 39 too.

About Build toys, I think most of Best Match Forms are become forgotten right now especially since Evolt always steal most of Full Bottles in series.

They need to squeeze in all the banjo, Evolt, and mad rogue stiffs before the final one. The story gets affected a bit because of all the Evolt forms we probably won't see anymore. He call them phases, but I'm sure he doesn't need rabbit or even dragon to get black hole. Not a whole lot of explaining and banjo's secret along with shouichi/Misora turns out to be different than expected. Evolt can just magically summon extra drivers now,

I do enjoy we're back to multiple riders with conflicts before working together along with villains being riders. They also can sell more toys this way, but built just have so much repaints and forgettable full bottles.

One thing about the lore I really like is how the highest powered suits all have white aesthetic to them... It's the small touches..

Makes sense come to think of it. In the past few episodes Evolt has been getting so tantalizingly close to regaining Black Hole, so it figures he would play extra serious to ensure that he doesn't screw it up. Sento pulling the suicide bomb on him and forcing an early possession didn't help his mood at all too.

Now with all his regained power, he can basically fuck around with everyone and enjoy it, much like a student letting loose after finishing their finals or something.

I have only one question: where did the second Evoldriver come from?
