Damn. Pretty good episode. If this was any other Rider show, this would be endgame level shit.

Goodbye Sid! But Rosho is powerful enough to completely dissolve the Genesis Driver and the lockseed? *shudders*

Was it just me or did Rosho's lover look like Yoko? This episode especially plays up the parallels between the Riders and thier Overlord counterparts. Watching Reduye interact with Micchy was like seeing two of Micchy working together and wanting to betray the shit out of each other. I'm still sticking to my,"The forest world was inhabited by people with similar personalities to the Zawame city counterparts" theory.

People said that he is in stage performances for the next few weeks so we just might only get him in-suit/voiceovers.

At least they showed a reason being in the suit, I was rewatching the episode and it looks like Duke's suit was linked up to the super computer from a wire going in chest.

I don't think anybody's motivations have been unclear, just that when new plot developments come into play, new allegiances are formed.

For example, Takatora was all for killing off 6/7ths of the world's population because he thought it was the only way to save humanity, then Kouta tells him they can save everybody by getting the Overlords to side with them.

The only one that's really hard to get a grasp on is Micchy, who from what I gathered, is a massive control freak and Yoko, who seems to be developing her own character separate from Ryouma as of this latest episode.

I find the shot from next week's preview of her with the Beat Riders fairly interesting. I'm wondering if she's on the verge of joining their side, or at least Kaito, over Ryoma and Yggdrasil.

Speaking of, what's the in-story reason for the bad doctor to spend the whole episode in-suit?

Remember the Sid Lockseed?

What was the point of that?

Hopefully it'll crop up again. I'm wondering if it was at all related to the MIS.

It did control 2 watermelon lock seeds... So.. Who knows?

It had a S?

Anyway...this episode was pretty good, and dang Sid. I find it really interesting how the monsters, or at least the leader of the monsters of this series isn't (or at least doesn't seem) to be a bad guy. I think it's a nice breath of fresh air having a Kamen Rider show be so different from ones of the last few years.

Oh shit, I forgot! Did that lockseed get destroyed too when Sid died?

It may come back later. But its just to sell toys, even if its a premium item and in one episode.
