I just had a thought, will the former gates need to continuously wear the engage ring or are Rinko and Shunpei just keeping them for sentiment sake? It would make an interesting finale if near the end the Phantoms found a way to remove all the engage rings and the gates rescued throughout the series start to become Phantoms.

I just had an idea. That Rider Kick vs Giant Foot Module in the next Movie Wars

I thought it was Dragorise? That's based entirely on the ring though, is there a toy solicit somewhere calling him that?

Dragorize is what the Ring declares to summon him. The dragon itself is the WizarDragon.

In Wizard's defence, the CGI used in this show is much, MUCH better compared to previous riders. I mean, imagine how much more terrible the show'd be if it had W's CGI.

At least its not Ryuki level CG :lol

The tech wasn't as good in 2003 ,so it is sorta forgivable.

Oh I know. It's all pretty hard to look at but it's gotten much better just in last 5 years.

ok, just watched ep 3...giant dragon rider kick??? And I was kind of hoping the Hellhound wouldn't have been dispatched...I really liked him and thought he would have made a cool returning character. I do hope to actually SEE a phantom be born, because as of now they are just wasting their limited race it seems...

That's true, but it still sort of hits you in the face when the monster shows up onscreen regardless :lol

Besides, its not like we aren't all used to it by now :D

Watched this during lunch today (glad to be caught up!), and I enjoyed it. The CGI in the Underworld is pretty weak, but the rest of the effects are nice so that's fine. I liked WizarDragon turning into the big ole foot to Rider Kick the Phantom guy. The old jeweler is an intriguing character to me; he makes the rings but doesn't know how they work, huh?

Master Phoenix's little tantrum was cute as well.

Good episode. Digging this show.

Holy crap, I just realized something! The old guy that makes Wizard's rings could be the White Wizard!
