Holy shit, that's incredible. Figures that they'd retool Kamen Rider Lupin for Kamen Rider Tassel, it just fits. A little unfortunate that it isn't the Kurayami, since he was the one that made it. But I fucking love it.

Huh? When? I didn't hear about this. All we got is Saikou and Kurayami were the very first swords created, not necessarily Tassel since he couldn't do anything about anything since he became Wonder Guardian.

In any case, the gaudiness of Tassel, wonderful! A fitting use of Lupin. Although, the skin-tone color is a little weird and I wish it was white instead.

I'm pretty sure that in one of the lines for Episode 41, Tassel says something along the lines of "the sword that I made" when talking about the Kurayami. Unless IzuSubs translated that wrong.

Ohh, I see, I see. I guess I'll go re-check then.

Edit: You right, he said he created Kurayami.

I realize a few things.

When Ren lost his elemental power, he mimics Dezast's single-sword fighting style. Remarked by Dezast when he saw he was copying him.

When Dezast briefly used Falchion, while a little more subtle, proceeds to dual-wield his swords. Like Kenzan.

I just remembered the Kamen Rider Wizard x Gaim movie (the one where they fight Bujin Gaim and his tree of doom) and the ending when its revealed that Beast Chimera really loves eating the Helheim Fruits so Nitoh (Kamen Rider Beast) ends up picking a whole bunch of them to keep Chimera fed instead of having to regularly feed him with Phantoms.

I just can't help but think that Nitoh has a Helheim Fruit garden secretly growing somewhere like he's an underground drug dealer or something lol.

To be honest, with how often Kouta goes to Earth I could just imagine him delivering Helheim Fruits to Nitoh on a regular basis and they're just good friends as a result.

You're telling me Nitou could have singlehandedly solved Gaim by just letting Chimera loose in the Helheim Forest? :lol

Not so sure how Chimera will fare against the Overlords but it's pretty funny to imagine a magical animal thing eating everything in the forest, and considering how Chimera threatened to eat Nitoh (implying that he can eat humans) I would assume he'd be able to eat Inves as well.

"Heeeelllloooo Zawame City! We have some unbelieeevaaable footage coming in from around the city that some animal thing is interfering with the Inves Games! Okay, check it!" (livestream switches to footage of onlookers screaming in fear as Chimera swoops in and eats Inves during an Inves Game).

I think he could beat them. I believe in him!
