Wizard Episode 29: "The Evolving Wild Beast" Discussion
 

Didn't want me to get to this first huh?

I'd be out of the job if you did :lol. Plus, I can't add polls to threads that have been posted by other people. And we're kinda required to do that now.

Adding polls to new episode topics does seem to bring in more traffic and I for one like the idea.

As for Beast Hyper I am so ready for this. About time Beast got some props after the crap he fell victim to during the last arc.

Yeah I like the addition of the polls. It's a small touch but it's interesting to see people's concrete ratings.

If I were to be a mod I would go for part of the fan section like fanfiction

huh so he really can't use the please ring

Over Time Subs are up.

Please keep the polls going. I like them.

Why do I find Beast a better character. Maybe it's because he's more dynamic than Wizard and he has the whole "if I don't eat I'm dead" aspect to him. Overall this ep was ok. I don't like the upgrade to blue or the gun for Beast Hyper, but that's just a personal opinion.

Even tough I recgonize that this upgrade is pretty much Meteor Storm I actually find myself liking it better than I thought I would have. It actually looks really cool on screen and it amuses me that the tassels on his arms are weapons too :lol

Pretty middle of the range episode, not too bad, quick resolution, good debut and fight for a new form. Definitely interested by this Legion character appearing next week. If he's dangerous enough that Medusa and Wiseman had him locked up then he must be bad news.

Great episode. Golem had a nice pay-off after a few weeks of just milling around, the archaeologist plot turned out nicely, and I actually really like Beast Hyper in action. I think it would look better if it was black instead of blue, but it has weaponized tassels - how can you beat that?

Huh....from my calculations Infinity will either come out on the 14th or the 21st

That sounds about right. Overall it was a pretty good episode. Beast Hyper is a nice design, I think they did it better than they did meteor storm. Although the next episodes seem like they are gonna have the same Fourze type main character upgrade. Haruto is dying so the answer is give more power. It will be cool to see Infinity in action in a few weeks.

You know, I hadn't bothered to download the last four or five weeks or so. And now, watching episode 29 I really don't feel like I missed a thing.

You missed the Medusa episodes. They are really worth a watch, and they'll lead into something else

This made me hungry a little

I agree with AkibaSilver. The two Medusa eps were quite good.

----------------

So next ep they are introducing a new villain that will be (most likely) defeated by Diamond Wizard. Besides the power ups is there any point to this series?

So the red bit on Beast Hyper's stomach now makes sense... it's Lion's tongue...

But that's still weird.

And this costume would still look better in black instead of the bright, random blue.

I also immediately came to that conclusion about Legion and Wizard Infinity, Spada. Since we know of his final form upgrade, it's just too darn obvious. Which is a little disappointing...

I still don't like Beast Hyper's suit but the tassels as weapons is cool and creative. Some good development for Kouskue as well, even if his reasoning for keeping Chimera can seem a bit clumsy and stubborn at times. Gremlin is probably my favorite character in the show, he's just constantly having fun and I can't wait to see what happens next episode.

Man I just absolutely hate Gremlin. Ever since he came on the scene I've just really disliked him. He seems like the usurper that Phoenix should have been. I still don't quite understand how he obtained the Land Dragon stone to give to Shunpei. Wiseman apparently is producing the stones from his body as shown when Cerberus found one in his bed. But having never met Wiseman, and not knowing where to find him, how did Gremlin get a stone?

Well, we've seen his "flash step" ability. Maybe he snuck in when Wiseman produced the stone and took it.

I just realized the magic stones are Wiseman's kidney stones.

So is Gremlin the new Basco or something?

This episode was quite good, just because it answered some points discussed previously on this forum :

- Haruto indeed can't transfer mana to Mayonnaise.
- Chimera reside in Nito's body, the belt is a catalyst.
- Haruto COULD go in Nito's innerworld and defeat Chimera, but Nito prefers to stay as a wizard even if he has to die.

Don't worry. I don't like Guremrin either. His character archetype is so cliche and played out it's disgusting. For a series that's been turning cliched storylines on their head recently, it would be a dishonor to have Gremlin be the main villain in the most obvious reveal, ever.

These two episodes were pretty meh for me.Coming off of the Mayu/Medusa arc aside,there just wasn't much here.

The one thing I like about "power-up get" episodes is that the hero overcomes something or the upgrade comes at some kind of cost.Here,Kousuke didn't really work for Hyper.At any point in the episodes,he could have easily just plugged Hyper into the Driver and used it.I'll say that I DO like Hyper.The colors work for me and if that thing about the design being Pharaoh-based is true,then I'm totally into it.Kinda wish it was called Beast Mirage though,just so they didn't reuse Hyper.And tassel whips are freaking awesome.

The Gate's story was pretty uninteresting,I feel like I saw this in another series not too long ago.This whole episode-arc felt entirely skippable.Hopefully something really cool will come out of Legion,most likely the lead up to Infinity.I just felt completely uninterested during these eps.

Maybe it's because the actor seems to be having so much fun with the rolw that I like him. As for how he got the stone. Magic :P

Not by any stretch, and this is coming from the guy who likes Gremlin.

He sure looks like he's trying

I happen to like Gremlin a lot. Without him the bad guys on this show would be a total snoozefest. Wiseman is barely there. Medusa is always so calm. Pheonix is well.. burning up as we speak. It's nice to have a character akin to Starscream. Always scheming and planning and is loyal to no one. As for the Hyper mode I happen to like it a lot more than Meteor Storm, but it's odd to see Beast using a gun after going with a saber as his weapon for so long.

I neither like nor dislike Gremlin. I just tolerate him.

Another great batch of episodes. Gremlin is really shaping up to be pretty badass. I cannot wait to see him get his own story arc. Not to mention he really fits with his name. Anyway, Beast's hyper mode is pretty awesome and I love how the colors go with his ancient theme. Very well done. Now I want to do a Beast vs Conan skit. :D With that said, it is nice to also see Rinko actually doing police work for a change since the first quarter of the series had her do nothing but be a stupid twat.

Count me in with those who aren’t a fan of Gremlin. He’s just as dull as Medusa to watch. A different kind of dull, but dull nonetheless.

Beast Hyper looks a lot better in action than I expected. I don’t think a gun particularly suits him, but using the tassles as weapons was pretty badass.
