Well, the faceplate only changed when Takatora picked the fruit Mai sent to them, rather than when he put it on. So I figured it was also part of Mai's last ditch attempt to help them. She used her power to 'upgrade' the driver from mass produced Kurokage into a Zangetsu driver.

Yeah, the Robokages dropped two belts so Micchy definitely could have grabbed one for at least Oren but of course he was more concerned with getting the hell out of there so it's understandable.

I think you mean Jonouchi, because Hase has been dead for most of the show :P

Still sad about that.

Good movies, already uploaded at my site :D

... And I was thinking 'don't write the guy that died' :D

Finally sat down and watched OVertime's sub of the thing.

This movie still suffers the same problem as most other Movie Wars do: Drive's portion of the film just feels like filler and I hate how it's only out of sheer coincidence that the two chars meet and fight together.

I will say this though, the last half of the movie was a lot of fun to watch. Kouta and Shinnouske have a lot of good chemistry with one another. I lost it watching the two trying to fit inside the Trideron, and Gaim's back seat driving was great.

Although the final battle on the MEgahex planet was totally ripping off the Deathstar assault scene a tad.

I loved this movie. I thought it was funny and cool.

Gaim segment was pretty solid. Drive was completely pointless in this movie. I could literally cut his entire segment and nothing would be lost. There is no reason for this movie to be a crossover. Maybe a double feature, but not a crossover.

The same could be said for most of these crossovers to be honest. The previous series always has a pretty strong epilogue to tell, while the currently airing one is kinda stuck with this "take it or leave it one-off thing".

W's in 2010 and Fourze's in Megamax managed to get past that, but I personally feel OOO's in War Core, Wizard's in Ultimatum and Gaim's in Sengoku Battle all suffer from the same thing.
