This episode cemented Micchy as my favorite character in this show. I genuinely felt bad for him, even if he was a manipulative traitor and cowardly. Urobuchi did a good job of making him a confused kid trying to get by in a cruel world.

As for the rest of the episode, I think everyone's covered it pretty well. Almost certain that Kouta will be revived next episode by the sheer power of Toei requiring at least one main Rider suit scene per episode, but I'm hoping that it's more than the typical MacGuffin route taken by Kamen Rider in the past.

I can see Jam being a crossover villain, but I'm still hopeful considering we had Drivers dropping all over the place this episode.

Oh my god, that was amazing. However, when should we expect to see the reset button pressed?

I like the way you think.

Suddenly having Takatora be alive despite the fact that we saw him sink to the bottom of the fucking ocean would completely ruin the impact of his deaths scene and overall be a blow to the shows quality.

I thought Jam was supposed to be Sagara?

Nothing has been confirmed, everything is still speculated rumors.

This episode was awesomely awesome because my two favorite gaim riders, baron and duke,fought each other. Duke got the shit kicked out of him and overlord kaito is cool reminds me of a fangire.

Wow, I love Kouta so much because I would do the same. I would sacrifice myself to help save one of my friends. I feel so bad for Micchy he fucked up so badly everywhere that he killed his brother, his best friend, and the woman he loved. Everything he did was for nothing, he fucked up so badly that it cost him everything. Welcome to rock bottom Micchy, you can only go up from here. Ryouma was a fucking dick with his kill switch, but I am glad Lord Baron took care of him. Kaito is fucking badass, and insane I loved his line about Hase too. Man I love the supporting cast of this show everyone is so amazing. It's great to finally learn about Mai and what she was and what she said. I hope she tries to fix the timeline again.

I suspect Jam will only appear in the rumored post-story crossover episode 47 and has no bearing on the actual plot.

I think he will serve double duty as final villain and Crossover villain.

Just watched the subbed and it was worth seeing Ryouma die again.

Remember when this show used to be about street dancers fighting for stages while wearing sparkly fruit armor?
