Kachidoki arms is so OP and this isn't even his final form :lol

Ah-HA!

Maybe I'm reading in to the text too much, but DJ Sagura says this to White-Mai:

"I cannot see the future, but I know who you are, and how wrapped up you are with the boy".

I read that as White-Mai is actually Future-Mai. And probably through that tree that they want you to forget about, she's able to transcend back to the past and is trying to steer everyone in certain directions to either avoid, or change, the future.

I believe DJ Sagura is the mastermind who allowed Ryouma the ability to manipulate the Lock Seeds in the first place, believing that Ryouma would be the one who gains the power of the forest. But Ryouma wasn't as interested in gaining the power as he was using the power for his own selfish ambitions, and thus, he will never be chosen by the forest. Sid and Marika are the same, and Takatora is simply a figure-head of Yggdrassil.

DJ Sagura more or less painted the rest of the show for us:

- Kaito and Kouta want the same power, but for different reasons
- Kaito wants the power to rule
- Kouta wants the power to protect

They are beginning the build up to the most epic finale ... a Kouta/Gaim against Kaito/Baron showdown, which is what we see in the intro, and saw in the opening sequence of the first episode.

The question is ... what will happen with Micchy, Takatora, Sid, Ryouma, Marika, Jonouchi, Oren, and Zack?

Obviously we know that Kouta is going to have to take down the Energy Riders to get to the Overlords. He's already spanked Sid and ninja'd Marika, but Ryouma/Duke is going to be a problem for sure.

UGH I cannot wait! This show is amazing.

This was a phenomenal episode, want EVERY SINGLE LOCKSEED EVER, as well as seeing DJ Sagara being able to make Lock Seeds, and the next episode with the ToQgers! Ohhh man this show is just the best, ever, nothing will ever beat it.

Plus that DJ GUN is like the best thing ever, why is 2014 such a great year?

So...is next week ToQger's crossover? The crossover is part of both shows' main canon?

That's a good question but what I'm want to knew is what order does the shows air and can he have one Thread to talk about the crossover as a whole in stead of one half on one Thread and the other half on an other thread, cause this crossover is going to be more like a hour special rather than a two partter

This Saturday is the crossover and, of the two shows, ToQger airs first. At least it does usually and I wouldn't expect that to change. I can't speak to how the threads will go, though.

I highly doubt that it will be a canonical part of Gaim. It'll probably be like the 1000th episode from OOO.

It's not part of the episode count for either show. It is a stand alone special like any other special or movie. Count it as canon as you see fit.

Oh, I thought it was part of the episode count like Decade's Shinkenger crossover was for Decade. Thanks for the clarification.

SCREW YOU YGGDRASIL!

That episode was even better with subs. THIS is why Kouta is fast becoming my all-time favourite rider. Everybody's so quick to just except what they've been told as absolute truth, and hide behind the old idea that victory demands sacrifices no way around it.

Well Kouta's not so gullible, nor is he so black-and-white. Change the rules! Fight the machine! I love the end, too. "You want to keep secrets? Then get out there and actually DO something!" Yggdrasil loves to talk big, but they've really accomplished nothing. They just want to hide in their giant fortress tower and put blankets over the mess instead of cleaning it up, claiming "Oh, but we're the GOOD guys because we have a plan to commit mass murder on the flimsy and poorly-though-out pretense of stomping an invasion!" And then never stop the invasion.

Welp, now Kouta's got all the power he needs to start doing something about it, and the knowledge of where to start. Can't wait to see where things go from here.

Also yes, I also believe not-Mai is really future Mai. My guess is her enigmatic words and her weird phasing-out-of-reality bit have to do with her communicating through time, rather than havign travelled back successfully. Plus, with all the lies and deception from her friends just to protect her, I can see that being her motivation to go back in time and try to change events.
