This season got a weak start, but the later half is amazing.

I think that's point with Jin that despite being humanity's protector he is pretty much a heartless monster and he's a very extreme version of a showa rider seeing as how most them had the whole "I'm not human anymore and I wont stop until (insert evil organization here) is completely destroyed to protect people. This is in contrast to Haruka who is much closer to being a Heisei rider with his mentality of wanting to protect the innocent regardless of if they're monsters or not seeing as a lot and that's been a thing since Faiz.

The original Amazon from the 70s did save the mole kaijin that later became his ally too. Mamoru was based on him. Also, The whale kaijin saved Black too. However, both defectors were killed off near the end of their respective series.

I'm well aware of those instances it's just that it's more common in Heisei rider is all

I appreciate them breaking an expected trope here. Although another thing was pretty predictable.

Normally you'd expect him to refuse to hurt his love or fight back and the power of his love to break through to her. But no, the kids wants to LIVE and he'll do anything, even fight Iyu. I appreciate that. She still breaks through and regains consciousness to help him, but not in the obvious way.

Also, RIP to Jin. I mean, he was asking for it, but still.

Also, Fukuda is having the worse day ever.

Jin is still alive in the preview.

Yeah, missed that. Or forgot about it. Them Amazon riders are really resilient.

Is Chihiro's friend still alive? Jin choked him out but was it enough to kill the guy or to incapacitate him?

Knowing Jin, I doubt that he killed Hiroki at that time. While his sanity has slipped through, I think he still uses "Kill Amazons, but don't kill human' mindset.

He didn't even kill Iyu. I guess they're on the same side at the moment and he's saving his power to kill Chihiro. Family reunion is coming to this week episode.
