Wonderful xD Fruit Grongi is probably the best description for the Inves I ever heard.

Kouta is such a doofus, I love him.

As much as it's nice to see a toku show reach a little further than abandoned warehouses and rock quarries if you don't have the budget to do something...don't do it. The action is getting better in this show but everything else, like the planetwide assault and the destruction left behind looked really REALLY bad like student film web series level of bad. Anyway this episode basically existed for the reveal at the end, so it was pretty meh for a lot of it but I'm really excited for next weeks episode.

I really, really like Micchy. I like that he feels like he's going crazy, but he's not quite there yet. I like that he's trying to control everything from the shadows, but he can't quite do it.
He's aspiring to be the Kingpin, and he's reaching as far as he can, but he just doesn't have the ability to do so. It's fun to watch, and I actually like his semi-logical approach to the entirety of the situation. Choosing to save some, and let the rest go, rather than try to save everyone and risk losing it all, but he's too blinded by his own (Crush? I dunno) to do it properly.
Micchy is awesome. I hope he survives~

:lolol

That is just perfect!

Good episode

This show is super logical yet illogical for a Rider show at the same time. With Micchy's backstabbing and deception, its a very logical progression. And Kouta giving the reaction we expected from Yoko and Kaito's explaination of Micchy.

On the other hand, why Kouta doesn't go balls out Kiwami is beyond me. Someone is trying to kill you, I don't think you should hold back. Plus, your Kiami lockseed can't be stolen because you have protagonist armor.

Because that someone is a friend he only just found out had turned against him?
Kouta was not only in shock, but Micchy's entire speech before he transformed was about how dumb he thought Kouta holding onto hope was. Kouta, being predictable as always, held on to such hopes that Micchy was just misguided and that they could still work together and save everyone.

This. And the fight was like 10 seconds in before the episode ended? So whose to say what happens next. He could open up Kachidoki or Kiwami levels of whoop ass and be stopped by Takatora to let him put the bastard down 5 seconds into the next episode.

Micchy is in a weird spot for me. He's probably one of my favorite Riders ever but I can't put a finger on it. He's a coward, a liar and a wannabe mastermind, but much like Kusaka...I just like him. I think it's just him fascinating me as a character and me wanting to see just how far down the slope he goes.

I love the phrase "Androgynous Fruit Grongi" :lolol

Yeah, you and I talked about this earlier, and while I may despise Micchy. I too am interested in seeing where this character ends up.
