It makes it worse for me, Nobunaga hasn't done Kamen Rider any favors.

Wow, Sid's death was unexpectedly violent! He totally had it coming, but still, I'm going to miss the crazy bastard. :(

Looks like Yoko might be questioning her loyalties finally, it'll be interesting to see if she fully changes sides or ultimately stays with Ryouma. Excited to see Kiwami next week too, I'm not as impressed with the design as I was with Kachidoki but maybe it'll be better in action.

Oh I totally agree. I thought the Overlords were cool before, but never really paid attention to them since the other Rider character's plots were a lot more interesting. But in this episode they were highlighted so well that I found them almost more interesting than the Rider battle going on.

I know, right? The wait is endless... I just want to see the next episode already!!!

I think it's just an evolution of Demushu. In other seasons, the monster usually gets a brief upgrade before being offed by the main character. It looks cool though.

Nope, that was just a rumour. Gaim will continue all the way through the summer. It might end with less episodes than most Riders if the next Rider starts in September, since Gaim started late, but it will run the usual length.

Haven't seen the subs yet but how does Kouta get the Salad/Kiwami lockseed?

Hasn't happened yet, but seems like Sagara is gonna give it to him, as per usual. xD

Yeah this episode really made you pay attention and in a big way. I'm certainly more engaged with them, than I am a lot of the Riders, right now. Although Sid's death was masterful.

I know I'm pretty lonely on this one but for me Gaim has way too many Riders. For me I'd always prefer a fully developed duo over a bunch of half formed Riders and some fatty ones for good measure.

Minus Kouta I can't think of another Rider in this show I properly feel like I "get". There are others we know lots about but the why is usually left vague and that is the most important part. Maybe it's coming in the future, but it feels like Gaim is shifting into high gear for the climax already so maybe not.

Man, Kiwami arms look like ass. =/

….damn, was not expecting that…what brutal way to go.

A little disappointed to see Sid go, he always seemed like the underdog of the series. I was really hoping he would be the one to kill off Miichi, a little dissapointed that won't happen now

Wow, Sid was always bold, and some may call his last act stupid, but I can definitely say you can't get any boulder than attacking the King of a race of Powerful Monsters head on.

Sid?! But he got to be the most twisted character. He kills Ryoji Hase and Betray both Takatora Kureshima and Ryoma Sengoku
