Good episode. Not as great as last episode but still.

That scene with Sagara using his magic to hold Mai and Kouta in place was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. I mean, good on Kouta's actor for being able to pull off that pain but it just seemed kinda ridiculous to me.

I'm interested to see what's gonna happen to these next Overlords.

And for people saying Gaim could have a Blade eske ending, I wouldn't like the show as much for having a similar end but I could see it happening.

I posted the same theorie too on page 9.

Great episode like always, next one seems to be even better !
The highlight of the episode for me is Ryouma's escape ! It amazing !
Kiwami's debut happened exactly like i thought it would, so it wasn't as surprising as Kachidoki's debut.

So you guys think Kouta will become an Overlord so he could save humanity, basically a scaled up version of Blades's ending. But doesn't "Dye the world in your colors" means that Overlord Kouta will create Overlords out of the remaining survivors ? Redue also said that Roshuo altered them so they can survive the invasion. So basically Sagara must be trolling Kouta for his own reasons.

Not necessarily. Thing to keep in mind about Sagara is that so far he's been a literal genie- Everything he says is sort of ambiguous and he leaves everyone to fill in the blanks themselves.

I think that by becoming an "Overlord", it simply means that Kouta would ascend to the point of becoming a physical god- and thus be able to reshape the world however he sees fit. Keep in mind that by the time Roshuo transformed the surviving [spoilers]humans[/spoiler] into Overlords, he had abandoned all hope. He'd lost everything. He simply turned them into what he felt best represented their true nature. Hence, "dying the world in his colors".

I can only hope Kouta doesn't fall into the same despair.

I just can't shake the feeling that Sagara is manipulating him and advancing his own agenda.

That sounds reasonable. "Dying the world in your colors" is too vague and could mean anything. but i don't think becoming an Overlord would be without sacrifices.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a Wizard cameo. ;)

/thread win.

If even Mai can figure that out, then it's the whitest fruit in the basket. But Kouta is so determined to make everyone his friend....wait, scratch that....save everyone he cares about....wait...wrong Rider....bring harmony to all the universes....no still not right... save everyone (oh yeah, that's it), that he'll take the most dangerous piece of fruit and become the M..M...Mighty Warlord.

This show should have been the anniversary series, not Fourze with this kind of nostalgia tactic.

Define Irony.

All I have to say is this episode is 4.8 squishy Sids out of 5.

that's the risk he has to take. as much as mai doesnt want him to die and become an overlord because he cares for him deeply, it's the only way he can save the world.

Finally I am caught up.

And Zenith is Epic. Though I question how his fighting style evolves with each Lock as though it somehow downloads it into his brain or something.

Ryouma, like Den said, escaped because I think they're setting up the next movie. Lunar Arms or something. Fourze!

Wait, is his escape the last we're gonna see of Ryoma? Because that's a shitty way to go out of the show.

Anyone else get a Dr. Evil vibe from that whole scene?

Anyway, did something happen to his actor? He was in suit the whole time for the past two episodes.

From what I've heard, his actor is taking part in a play, so that's why.

Ryoma exits stage left, then.

That episode was just freaking amazing overall. I was glad to see Jounochi get a badass scene coming in with the kick and sticking the landing. The whole beat riders + Oren and Yoko fighting together scene was very well executed in terms of how fight scenes play out. Also could Ryoma get any more evil mad scientisty at this point?

Big props to Kouta's actor, he pulled off his emotions and the sense of feeling pain/over coming a force extremely well. Lastly Kiwami arms, just wow. The way Kouta swapped from weapon to weapon was sweet as all heck and his mastery of each weapon was surprising but badass. I cannot wait to see more of this form in the upcoming episodes.

Wow, this was one of the best episodes yet. It was cool to see Ornac not being a wimp, Marika and Bravo fighting alongside the main cast, and Zenith Arms (awesome name btw, the only time I don't mind Aesir's over-translating) was the icing on the cake.

Fruit Basket Arms is hands down the best ultimate form since Blade's King Form!!!!!!!!! I want that Figuart NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

And is it just me, or is there going to be a cost for using it just like King Form? IF so, that also makes it the second best ultimate form out there as I prefer it when the ultimates have a cost.

I don't know if its just because Gaim has had so many upgrades so close to each other but Kiwami's debut doesn't feel special.

This series is slowly becoming a Blade Redux. And I am enjoying the hell out of that.

It'll become a Blade redux once Kaito starts bathing in seaweed and Micchy finally controls the Grape Undead.

Wait...what?

Or once Kouta becomes an Overlord, and Micchy somehow gains control of the Invess

Two Words: SID LOCKSEED

And I'm perfectly okay with that. :lol

Seriously though, Gaim is getting up there to being in my top five favorite rider series of all time. If it ends on a high note without some type of cop out, then it will probably be in my top 3.

He used that S Lockseed already, all it did was allow him to control two watermelon things I think. I don't even remember, I just remember being disappointed.

I hope there's a downside, as I totally agree with you on this. An ultimate form should have some kind of drawback that makes using it risky. Kuuga, Blade, and OOO all did a great job with this and I want it to be the standard so we never get another Emperor Kiva.

I find a lot of final forms to be really underwhelming, like a trope of Rider I guess.

Or Infinity Wizard.

FRUIT BASKET!

That was a pretty good debut for a super mode. Kiwami Arms might not have had the spectacle like Cosmic States(still my favorite Super Mode debut) did for Fourze, but it demonstarted its overwhelming power on Demushu in short order. Really like the warlord look it has and the ability to use all the different weapons in rapid sucession.

Onto other moments in the episode, I like the Baron and Knuckle tag team against Demushu. Kaito and Zack were actually forcing Demushu into a corner before he blew them away and ran off. Between that and Kaito's commanding the little alliance holding back the Inves invasion, this episode had some really good teamwork going on. As for the events in Zawame City, the charade is definitely over. If Demushu's rampage didn't do it, the Yggdrasil troops putting the city under a martial law-esque lockdown and Redue's invasion definitely ended it. Speaking of Redue, we get to see his motivations. I wonder if Mitchy is starting to realizing he might be in over his head by hanging out with that crafty lunatic. Ryouma...after removing his own brain to test out Hakaider, him having his own rocket escape pod doesn't surprise me at all :lol. Lastly, I'm glad Minato did indeed wise up and changed sides.
