Guys, stop with the ice puns, people are obviously flaking out. Take a chill pill and stay frosty.

You better run.

Just because You Say Run doesn't mean I have to.

Very true. You can just turn away and slam the door and don't care what they're going to say!

Exactly! Go into the unknown (and maybe eat other people's sandwiches)!

Slashing through the snow,
With a one book open page,
Hear the north wind blow,
Megid he will slay!

Hail the lion king,
With a mane of white,
This homo sapiens will rise,
A Sword of Logos knight!

Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Wielder of the flowing sword Suiseiken Nagare!
Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Tategami Hyoujuu Senki roars into the fray!

Yes, that's based on Jingle Bells. It started as a joke and I got a bit carried away, now I'd better stop before I try to write two more verses ^^

Anyway, while I still think Primitive and Emotional Dragon have the best story surrounding them of all the upgrades in this show, I absolutely loved Tategami Hyoujuu Senki's debut, from the design itself, to that spectacular fight scene, to the way its icy powers fit with the theme of being empowered by past Northern Base swordsmen! "The MacGuffin the villains were trying to get miraculously turns into a new power-up for the Rider" is a bit cliche, but it was so epic I don't even mind.

Too late, now it's gonna bug me if I don't finish XD

He stands before the foe,
And swears upon his pride,
The knights from long ago,
Now rally to his side!

His thoughts are crystal clear,
Lies cloud his mind no more,
To save the family he loves,
Unleash an icy roar!

Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Wielder of the flowing sword Suiseiken Nagare!
Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Tategami Hyoujuu Senki roars into the fray!

He soars through snowy skies,
Dives in the freezing sea,
No place to run or hide,
He'll catch his enemy!

His sacred oath upheld,
His mentor rests in peace,
Reclaim your throne and return home,
Almighty king of beasts!

Oh, Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Master of the flowing sword Suiseiken Nagare, hey!
Rintaro, Rintaro, Kamen Rider Blades!
Tategami Hyoujuu Senki roars into the fray!!!!!!!!!

I haven't had a chance to watch this episode yet, but I have to say, this is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. I'd say "encore," but that doesn't wor so well with typing,does it?

You win this one, FairyKing!
