Man, it's nice to see Takatora confirmed as an unambiguosly good guy Rider, and that all the questionable things he did before were only because he was lied to by Ryouma.

Also nice to see that Kouta still uses Jimba forms for when Kachidoki's 'just stand there' battle strategy is not advisable. Man, I know it's only been like four episodes but I am completly bored with Kachidoki and am eagerly awaiting Kiwami. Kachidoki was fun on it's first go, but since then it's been responible for the most unentertaining fight scenes I've ever seen from a Kamen Rider.

And shit continues to get real. Very nice episode. It was quite lovely to see Takatora shift into being a sort of good guy.

I knew there was a reason for Takatora being my favourite character. Sexy shower scene! :lol

Seems redundant saying it every week now, but this was another brilliant episode. The more Zangetsu the better, so I'm really looking forward to where the story takes him next.

I also got bored and decided to look up the Overlordese and translate it. Interesting indeed.

EDIT: Took the tagged spoiler away, don't want to accidentally have this ruin it for anyone.

Please just go ahead and post it or PM it to me. I think it's ridiculous we aren't given a torrent that includes the translations anyway.

They're not posting torrents of them with the Overlords translated? That's pretty lame. :/ The YouTube source I've been using posted 26 and 27 with them. Gonna go watch 27 now actually.

It's translated, but like the Japanese equivalent requires a cipher (which is in the comments section for episode 26 on Aesir's website) to decode.

Then again, so far the Overlord's translated dialogue has been mostly canned phrases, not absurdly specific or spoilerish.

Not like saying "we humans" in English. (well, Japanese, but you know...) EDIT: Oh shit, Aesir didn't use the Overlord font when he said that, so I didn't realise that one word was translated.

BTW, Kouta seriously needed an adult like twice this episode. Bravo is amazing. Just amazing. How it it that he can be utterly fucking silly, yet still kind of cool and a good character? Maybe because he's not one-track villain or isn't that prominent? I don't know, but I like him.

Very, very clever way of adding another layer of utilitarian backstory to the driver by having it not only convert the energy of powerful lock seeds into armour, but even weaker ones can just be used as energy for the body. I've never seen Kamen Rider ever even hint at that kind of "exploit" of a belt's abilities.

Wel another great episode.

I loved seeing more Shin Zangetsu, Bravo, and next week, DUKE!!!

So seeing the reason why Ryomuma is lying to Takatora is okay.

Now if I'm not mistaken the previews for next week loook like to have Takatora dying? And then having Micchy be like " Crap my brother died for the sake of humanity, and I'm here fighting for this girl like a stalker."

Even from the beginning we're never quite made to believe Takatora is a bad guy, just one with an agenda.

So lets see....what did we get out of this episode?

For Sentai and ZeoRangerV, we got beefcake.

For me, we get the obvious. (Yeah, Kaito kicking Micchy around a little isn't even enough for the backstabbing little trog)

For Den-O, we get romance.

And for everyone else, we get balls. Well, rice balls that is.

I love this series. It's won me over from OOO it's that good.

Also, depending on where you look, there are subbed versions with the Overlord text in place. Personally, I don't feel the revelations are anything earth shattering. We all have an idea about who the Overlords are, and what their game is. I don't even think they spell it out as well as DJ Sagara does. And yes, I'm sure Jinba is more powerful, but Kachidoki sells more toys. And just like any good henshin sequence, even though we see it in 'slow motion', it doesn't actually take that long (see SS Gavan's overtly elaborate henshin sequence). We'll just pretend he's spinning the gun's wheel really really fast.

For me it was every scene with Oren's arms clinging around Kouta.
