Short version, I think the show has evolved out of Fighting Darkness With Darkness and more into trying to use the hero's darkness to say something about the universality of darkness, and how seeing that it in one another allows us to stop viewing other people as monsters and more as someone that can be reached with empathy. This is just my take, though! Me talking about this in another thread will have a bunch of disclaimers to that effect! |

On a more thread related note, this thread just reminded me there was an RP Rider war but with MLP characters as inspiration for designs and character, and that sure was a thing. |

Goro is... another "victim" here like Takuya? He too is traumatized seeing the Riders in action for the first time due to watching Kitaoka fight like that. Has Goro (an accomplished cook btw) gotten Shinji's gyoza lesson yet? If not then it's unfortunate all due to Takuya where someone has to look after when Shinji and Ren joins the fight. And congratulations for Ren to make Auntie warm up to him, now she thinks that Takuya may be his little brother or son instead of something bad in mind for Ren. And Shinji's debt to Ren is even growing...for petty reasons. He wasn't lying when he told Shinji his debt was 100k in ep. 10! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...396960/fee.png |

MASKED RIDER RYUKI EPISODE 28
https://kamenriderdie.com/images/kr/ryuki/ryuki28a.png EPISODE 1 EPISODE 2 EPISODE 3 EPISODE 4 EPISODE 5 EPISODE 6 EPISODE 7 EPISODE 8 EPISODE 9 EPISODE 10 EPISODE 11 EPISODE 12 EPISODE 13 EPISODE 14 EPISODE 15 EPISODE 16 EPISODE 17 EPISODE 18 EPISODE 19 EPISODE 20 EPISODE 21 EPISODE 22 EPISODE 23 EPISODE 24 EPISODE 25 EPISODE 26 EPISODE 27 https://kamenriderdie.com/images/kr/ryuki/ryuki28b.png (Shiro made Shinji live the entire series over again so he could undo his fight with Yui, I guess. I super hated this episode. I wish it had just been a clip show. This was way more frustrating.) |
For me the whole thing was worth it for Shinji "I dedicated so much time, effort and energy and went through so many possible odds PURELY SO I COULD PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE" Kido
|
I actually really like this episode it a clip show but it dosen't feel lazy to me. Our new Rider litterly have the power to bend time giving a really strong debut. Phus facilitating a in universe explanation for why where seeing all of this again. And Shinji response torwards all of this and actually landing a hit on the guy was pretty hype. (Then again I'm a sucker for time travel so lots of bias here)
|
Oh I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I like the fact that they split the classic rider helmet design elements between Ryuki, Knight, and Zolda. Ryuki gets the compound eyes, Knight gets the teeth, and Zolda the antenna.

I'm not particularly interested in disagreeing with you on episode 28, but I am sad you didn't end up liking it. It's always been a favorite of mine, and the whole "I became a Rider to protect people! And that means I can protect Riders too!!!" bit is like, the definitive Shinji quote. For what it's worth, here's my take on the episode.

Worse, it doesn't really do anything with Shinji reliving the timeline. He can't change anything, but he gets just enough flashes to try and change things, but he can't change anything. Past the first scene, for me, there's an enormous amount of frustration built into the premise. That's by design, but I hate that design. The frustration's there to validate the catharsis of Strike Vent To Impossible Opponent, but, again, I just didn't feel like that payoff was sufficient. I might've if the secret of why this all had to happen didn't completely suck (Shiro keeps using big moves to make Yui feel better, it's completely his thing, and I still hate it), but I think it did, so it wasn't working for me. Like, at all. |
