im actually glad Bahato was not redeemed...we don't have to get everyone to do a face-heel turn...sometimes they just need to die and take their sword lol.

Ah...that awesome jingle for xros saber.......

Is probably gonna join hyper muteki in the "Jingle that should have been a full song but never will" club

Does this count in the Toku Book Of World Records for longest henshin jingle ever? It's literally 35 seconds longer than Zi-O.

Yup, it's the longest! A youtuber timed it; it's barely a second longer than Grand Zi-O and Geiz Majesty

... At this rate by the time Reiwa has an Anniversary Rider their Final Form jingle would be full on Insert Song instead.

I'd say both of them are pretty abnormal situations, though -- Grand Zi-O was intended to be longer than anything seen before to cap out the Heisei Era iirc, and Saber's jingles are just all long because they're books.

I'm very late, but it was definitely worth it.

Xross Saber is magnificent!

Okay that's all folks!

Well, not really, I do have more to say about this episode. I loved how we got to see every Swordsman appear in this episode and use a bit of their power, despite getting wrecked by Solomon. And getting to see Kento's dad again made me really happy, since I always assumed he'd have a bigger role when I saw things popping up about him early on, and now Espada is back!

We also got to see the Falchion in his final moments and make peace(?) with the world, which was a little rushed, I'll admit, but still a nice moment. And oh, boy is this episode a spectacle, which makes me happy, since when Saber was initially revealed, it appeared they were going to make this Rider series an absolute spectacle, and I'm glad they're bringing it back.

And then there's Xross Saber, who's jingle won me over the instant the standby started playing. Seeing him use all of the Seiken from the other Riders, while fight Solomon Mechs (Kind of disappointed we didn't get Solomon and Arthur mechs using Solomon and Saber against each other) was a really great scene. It may not be a standard Final Form, but it's already one of my favorite forms after seeing it in action.

Desast takes Falchion's Seiken, which is certainly going to make things interesting when we deal with him and Storius, who only just showed up again.

Next Week: Solomon and Saber's final fight in the Wonder World.
