Decade was still new at that time and getting the past actors are harder since Rider actors tend to be more successful than Sentai actors in some cases.

Plus in Gokaiger it was actually a miracle they were able to get many returning actors because they weren't planning for that originally, only those who have a mecha will get a representation (Dekaranger, Gaoranger, etc). The actors contacted Toei to make a cameo in order to support and cheer up children and fans after the 2011 earthquake happened.

sub are up and for once TV-Nihon came first in subs.

ok i watch .5 one thing i laughed it how toei decided to bleep out dragon ball and shenlong even though the own franchise anime

Anyone have a bad feeling Woz will become a rider soon fighting Zi-O & Geiz?

Well he will become Kamen Rider Woz. I can see him becoming a Kamen Rider by himself (or on Oma Zi-O's orders) in order to make sure that Oma Zi-O's history is sustained. Or probably rebel. We'll see.

I thought he was the bad guy from episode 6. But I think there's one more twist bad guy to follow him.

Tvn up first is no surprise judging by OT slowing down on KR nowadays.

Woz is finally doing something more than a suck up meme. Geiz is now the gold ninja in ninninger with the killing protagonist comedy relief. Anyway, as most of us suspected, he stole 2 watches from the future. I'm guessing with time distortion as well as decade and maybe ghost regaining his memories next week if it's his present self aiding the riders, ohma zio might take a trip to the past himself. He made a dumb mistake by letting time machines getting mass produce in a huge scale to create crazy loops and paradoxes.
They can pull a last jedi and wipe the slate clean. Q2 makes it seem ohma zio might get defected or deleted out of existences and all the legendary ride watches doesn't matter. I don't think Toei can do a lot of phase 1 riders cameo considering their target audience demographic grew up with phase 2, but it would be nice after they switch up the another rider formula. It might be a battle royale between riders if Woz and the time jackers becomes future riders. So far, time jackers are way too over power from the start. Zio and Geiz need to level up to be immune to their "clock up" like abilities.

Hey everyone, guess what time it is!

Time to reevaluate Ghost already. Even Toei says you should give it another chance! :p

(Also time for me to still be upset Over-Time hasn't done the Specter movie, but that's neither here nor there)

Now, of course, considering what the subject matter this week is, it's probably no surprise I quite enjoyed this episode. I wouldn't call it the best episode of the show yet or anything, but there's a lot going on here I really like.

First of all, Another Ghost's gimmick is excellent, and much more uniquely Ghost than if he was just another dude, who just happened to be able to walk through walls or something. I also enjoyed seeing somebody flat out refuse the Time Jackers' vague offers for once. I honestly never expected that to happen, but apparently moral fortitude and being Ghost go hand in hand. Even his mission to go around preventing accidents by stealing people's souls is a sort of twisted take on Takeru's own desire to protect life. I suppose this applies to some of the other Another Riders too (like Ex-Aid, for example), but I dig that the similarities to the genuine article go beyond just the design.

And speaking of the genuine article, Takeru was great here. Loads of screen-time, and while he doesn't get to do anything particularly cool yet, I adore the implications of him doing literally the exact same thing he always does even without becoming a Rider. It really rubs in why I love Takeru so much. Powers or no, he does everything he can to help a Victim of the Week. This is the fifth episode in a row (!) written by Nobuhiro Mouri, and considering he wrote some of Ghost's best episodes, I'm definitely not complaining.

Decade's inclusion was also super well handled. From the preview I was expecting him to only get a brief scene or two with little immediate consequence, but he was a big player here, and got to do lots of cool crap without detracting from the actual main plot, which is quite the balancing act. Much like I love Takeru still going around helping random people, it's very true to his character for Tsukasa to go around doing whatever he wants (that inevitably ends up being good) and not caring at all what people think of him for it. I don't know how much attention the show will call to this, but despite the difference in attitude, Tsukasa and Sougo really are reflections of one another in a lot of ways.

So yeah, definitely a good time all around, and as with pretty much every odd numbered episode of Zi-O, I'm excited to see how well the second part sticks the landing.

Enjoyed the episode but whan watching .5 one thing that bugs me is that why censored out dragon ball or
Kentaro when toei owns both of thoes show.

Soooo did Takeru regain his memories in those two seconds that Another Ghost was taken down? Like with Build and Wizard we saw them regaining their memories the moment their Another variant was taken down in the present. Why not Takeru? I'm willing to chalk it up to "oops we forgot lol". Episode was solid, can't wait for this arc to end so we can get past the BUY OUR TOYS part of the show.
