Kamen Rider Gaim episode 16: "A New Arms! Jinba Lemon Is Here!" Discussion
 

If anybody wants to catch the Raw livestream of today's episode along with me then go to Taima TV. They play other programs up until the live broadcast starts. Don't say no, just live stream more!

Another great episode, loved Jinba Lemon: from its design to its finishing move!

To prevent spoiling it for those patient enough to wait for subs this ep has opened up some interesting questions (will have to wait for subs to know the significance of that convo between Takatora and Micchy).

Cannot wait until next weeks ep!!!

How do i black out the words btw, im not sure if this would be seen as a spoiler, last week a few people were raging when someone spoiled something from the Kyoryuger ep this week.

If Micchi was a Pokémon, after this episode, he would surely be Espurr.

I wanna know what he saw damn it >.<

I wanna watch the ep, dammit!

I ALWAYS miss Live-streams.

Hopefully next week. Or maybe not. xD

With this show you never know :lol

What the hell were they looking at?!

Fruit graveyard?

Dead riders?

Decade?!

Something.

They went back in time and are looking at the ending of Super Hero Taisen :lolol

Loved the episode, but didn't expect the Invess to be just another summoned one, I expected it to be one of the guys from Red Hot cause of the color scheme

And I'm calling it, Zach will be Knuckle, not Peco, after seeing Kaito throw Kurumi to him

Trivia: I never noticed Micchi had a birthmark under his eye.

Suzu got the perfect gif! Reflected in Mitchi's eye is.....STUFF!

Total and utter destruction. Unicron was here....er....there.

It's funny that despite things reflected in Micchi's eye, we still have no idea what he sees....

I do have a little inside info on what happens next episode,but they're kinda big spoilers.(Well,not really big but interesting)

Micchy,after seeing that scene,is tasked by his brother to retrieve Kouta's sengoku driver.Also,Kouta's sister gets kidnapped.

Well, that's pretty much all that was in the preview for next week.

Holy shit WHAT DID HE SEE?

Excellent, excellent episode. I love how this show is deconstructing it's own mythos for maximum effect, like showing that there really are people who shouldn't have even the basic power to control invess.

I think he saw Godzilla. It looks like it.

I think I might know what the reflection is.I think it might be their hometown completely covered in vines and stuff,completely in ruins

Subs are up. that was fast

And here I thought it'd be delayed until at least tomorrow by the Super Bowl.

They jailbroke the lock seeds. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

But no SD yet.

Aesier's take on the TRUE secret of Helheim. :P


Good episode even though I still think Gaim Jinba is an ugly powerup form. Also a great new direction between Takatora & Micchy.

Also I'm pretty sure Team RedHot is hanging out in teh same abandoned warehouse as the Greeed from OOOs.

Now I wanna see a drawing of them and then Uva kicking their asses for being in there :lol

I thought the same thing when I saw that scene!!!

Well, it looks like DJ Sagara didn't help Kouta under Ryouma's orders, though Ryouma could be lying.

Also, young kids/teens using access to incredible power to commit crimes? Not surprised there.

Jinba Lemon Arms looks awesome, and it seems Gaim is facing off against Marika next episode, looking forward to that.

Also, the more I watch, the more I think that Yggdrasil isn't going to be the final boss at the end of the series. Sagara definitely seems like he might be, but I like him, so I'm hoping he'll at least be a neutral party by the end.

Team Red Hot getting attacked by their own Invess? Talk about Karma.

EDIT:

Okay was I the only one that thought Return of the Jedi during that forest chase scene?

Another week, another great episode. Starting with a fun effect heavy chase screen, Zangetsu finally showing he's not completely heartless (like I thought he would), more questions, and making the teams relevant again. I also enjoyed the talk at the end about good and evil. It's a good moral and not heavy handed either.

Strange how the worst part of the episode is Lemon Raiment. It looks terrible. I get what they were going for, but it's just too bulky and looks dumb in all full body shots. This is currently, by far, the worst form in the show. Not helping is the bow, which I don't hate, but really feel it should've been limited to just one rider and not five.

Get the right sound effects and that can work.

I am vary confident that the Jinba arms are going to be used for other Energy lock seeds if Gaim were to get them, because on all four sides is the same design used on the chest plate were it has the lemon bits on it and I am assuming under the other 3 will be melon, cherry, and peach. Also when the arms came down it rotated as if it was going to the lemon side of it

I'd guess Baron might also find a way to use the Jinba upgrade & its also a good possibility Takatora might give Ryugen an upgrade so they can fight together.

Based on the episode I wasn't entirely convinced of this. However, examining the image of the AC Jinba figure it's clear that the hinges and panels on the chest are identical to those on the shoulders, and there does appear to be some hidden panel under each chunk. Just like how the lemon graphics are revealed on the front, I think it's entirely possible that the other energy arms could be represented in there too. Good call man.

Every time a Dandeliner exploded I thought the same thing :lol

Such a good episode. The emotional build up in this one was just breathtaking. Whatever Micchy saw was it such a terrible truth that he's willing to betray his friends though? I'm not sure.

A few months back we saw some magazine scans which showed that Gaim would be using the Dandeliner as a personal vehicle. As we know from this episode the only Dandeliner stolen by any of the riders was the one Micchy took. I assumed he'd probably be giving it to Gaim, but why would he give him a new piece of tech just to betray him? I have this feeling that Micchy's had his own goals and plans all this time and that he may betray even Takatora. We'll see.

I dig Lemon Arms in how it looks robes a feudal war lord might wear.

Love the episode, love Jinba Lemon, that is one cool design.

This basically sums it up for me.

Since we're all speculating what Micchy saw, I'm guessing it's Zawame City in the future, overrun by the forest. Helheim is Zawame in the future.

So basically, the Cracks are actually Cracks in Space/Time itself.

Yes, I suppose that's right. :D

This was a good episode and I really do wonder what the Heck Micchy saw. Jinda Lemon wasn't all to great in my opinion. The time of dark Micchy will be with us next episode.

That Dandeliner gets destroyed. Ryugen jumps off before it rams into another Dandeliner.

PS I could say Dandeliner all day. It's just such a silly yet awesome name :lol

Oh duh. How did I not remember that :lol

Either way we know Kouta gets one based on mag scans. It's still feasible to assume that Micchy grabbed one in much the same way Kaitou stole the MP belt.

There would be a shot of him grabbing one if he did take one.

Micchy isn't the only way Kouta gets Lockseeds. Why can't Kouta get a Dandeliner by stealing it from it's rider? I mean if Micchy the physically weakest rider can do it there's no reason Kouta can't do the same.

Best episode so far.

From the shows ability to capture moral grey, to truly human feeling characters and reactions, to Kouta having to actually work out his new powers and not being able to just immediately use them. This episode was wonderful.

Best of all though, as is rare for this show, the action actually lived up to the plot. Watching W alongside this, really highlights how far tokusatsu effects have come in such a short time. The Landspeeder stuff this episode was EPIC. I don't really want AC Gridon but I really want the bike.

This week had the first Invess with a genuinely good design. In another show, with a suit like that, he could have been a General. He fought like one too.

I often find Gaim's fights feel clunky and unpolished by the cinematography and direction was so stylish this episode, the action flowed so much better. It was like we were right there in the fighting, without feeling like found footage garbage, since we could still see what was going on.

SO many questions with the Lemon transformation though and that doesn't mean the form was any less epic! If the Invess can just smash the faceplates off the Drivers, does that mean all that stuff about being locked to a single person is a lie? And whoa with the lockseed comboing and the whole 'Mix' business. Gaim is an Energy Rider unlike anyone else yet.

I love Jinba Lemon. Sure, it was a short little fight for the new form, but I do like how Kouta's questioning just what is going on. With new powers to master and the shades of morality blending into grey, Gaim is looking to be a fun ride next week with Marika ready and able to kick ass.

Onto Michi: I'm not sure what he saw, but it could be the the fall of Zawame City and the rise of Hellhelm Forest as some members, as well as myself believe.

Might "Dark Michi" come into being next week?
