Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 40 "Awakening As An Overlord"
 

I'm going to assume it's a dream sequence, since you-know-who comes back.

So do we know for sure this is airing this week?

You mean Dyudyuonshu or Yuya?
Well, Wikipedia among other things said it's airing tomorrow...

Considering the last new episode itself literally says "airs August 10th" yes.

Yes

HYPE!

Well if Wikipedia says so it must be true. :rolleyes

This is what I was talking about. Thank you and good to know.

Kaito gonna get trashed...

The thing that baffled me was how the surveillance systems were intact after the overlord invasion..

It was all a dream~
I used to read Word Up magazine~
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine~

So I guess Koushien game got canceled or pushed to a different time slot? Because I heard the possible postponing was going to be because of Koushien.

Whoooops, forgot about the stream again. Stupid time zone change. >_<

Just need to know if it was a dream man...

Hey everybody! Kamen Rider Skylanders!

TokuNation must know!

Ep 41 preview made me pee my pants

Oren and Jounouchi returns! They are alive! Good jo... and now they are trashed by Micchy... oh crap...

Kouta and Kaito charges at Rosho in Helheim, Rosho says something about the Golden Fruit, does something to Mai and Kota is holding a ruined Kachidoki lockseed and some aura appears? More confirmation he is becoming an Overlord?

I need a RAW!

Copy and paste the v= part to a normal YouTube link, I am on mobile, sorry.

That smile Ryouma gets on his face when he sees the room filled with people getting the life sucked out of them. Mischievous.

Holy moly, this episode was INTENSE! Freaking everything about it was great, which is awesome since the last couple of episodes weren't the best.

Kouta has finally awakened. What a messed up dream world Redyue put Kouta through. That was dark. And man, Sagara is truly a serpent, setting up Kouta's power like that. The creator of the new is the destroyer of the old... Just great dialogue all around. Also Mitchi vs Kaito is super exciting.

Next episode is going to be EPIC.

And subs are out. :D

That was another good one. Kouta's dream was nicely engaging and did a good job of helping strengthen hisresolve for what comes next. I'm not sure why, since this was a largely unprecendented episode, but I got some really strong Ryuki vibes from this week's episode. As always, anything that reminds me of the early Heisei era's tone is good in my book.

I'd like to give a nice nod to the cinematography this week. The end of Kaito and Yoko's fight with the Watermelons looked really cool. It felt a little derivative of Koichi Sakamoto, but it's something we haven't seen Gaim do before and I really dug it. The bit at the end where Kaito and Micchy rushed each other looked really cool, too.There are still a lot of rider shows with better action, but Gaim is definitely stepping up its game.

Maaaan, if Redyue had access to the internet she'd make quite the ruthless troll…putting Kouta through that nightmare was pretty harsh.

I'm a sucker for what if worlds, so this episode was right up my ally. Though I gotta say: Yuuya Gaim is kind of an asshole.

Meh. More plot oriented filler.

How is it filler? The hostages are finally freed and Kouta is actually starting to show physical signs of being an Overlord. Plus, Kaito's so weak physically now that he's resorting to just targeting Micchy's belt. This is anything but filler.

This episode was good after having to wait two weeks. :lol

Lets see, we start off with Kaito and Minato bein badass, and Zack not showin up till they de-henshin :lol

Kouta goes straight into Kiwami and Ryouma is just "Ill think Ill let him have his moment, we can discuss evil villian shit later"

Kaito frees everyone by kickin the shit out of the machine. Pahfekt.

Oh and Kaito and Micchy start to fight while Mai talks to DJ Sagara. I hope somethin good comes of that little talk.

You do realize that "plot oriented" and "filler" are opposites, right?

So Ryoma has a cloaking device built into his driver. Of course he would.

I love how they made an effective use of the stock filming locations to have Kouta mirror Hase's last hours. Although, the dialogue between Kouta and Redyue reminds me a lot of the ending of Spec Ops: The Line...

You think by now Ryoma would just make his own belt for kicks with all his nooks and cranny. :lol

Man this episode was great. I loved every second of it.

- Seeing Yuuya Gaim was quite interesting. I totally forgot that Kouta wasn't actually ever suppose to be Gaim. And it does make sense Yuuya would be kind of an asshole as Gaim, since Sid only gave out belts to assholes and people with the potential to be assholes lol.

- So Kouta's finally become an Inves, huh? Quite cool.

- Love how Gaim vs Kouta fight mirrored Hase's death. So I guess if Yuuya became Gaim, Kouta would be in Hase's position? It kinda shows how different everything could have played out because Yuuya would be just as bad as the other Beat Riders and the world would have likely turned to shit much faster.

- Duke is hysterical. He's kinda in that "Do whatever the hell I want mode"

- Micchy actually seems like kind of a badass now

Um…yeaaaaaah, I do not comprehend how the two could possibally go together, nor how this sentence can apply to this episode here.

Holy Toledo! This episode was great, and yeah I had a feeling one of his choices would be to save the world by sacrificing himself or whatever...it's a very Urobuchi thing to do from my understanding. This episode really cemented Kouta as my number 2 favorite main Rider. he's a SUPER close second to Gentarou. This was an awesome episode for Kouta. If I had one complaint it was that the scene transition between Ryouma looking at the screens to Mai was a little weird, and that the thing of Kouta having these two choices, I think most, if not all of us saw that coming from a mile away...but they gave the others important stuff to do as well. I didn't really feel like there was any time wasted in this episode. Maybe having Kaito and Micchy's fight start now...I could see how some might see that as a negative. Since their fight won't end until the next episode, or Kouta runs in just in time to save Micchy from getting killed or something. I see those things as minor, personally. Though...Green Lady having hypnosis abilities did kinda come out of nowhere.

Kouta is fucking brilliant! I love his words and how he fought back. I absolutely love Kouta. It was great to see his dream world and see how he's been manipulated by Sagara and see what the power of the Forbidden Fruit is. I think Kouta has definitely jumped up my favorites list.

So.

Kouta's becoming an Overlord, losing his appetite, becoming a monster essentially.. Think next he'll absorb one million Sunflower Lockseeds, use them to try and defeat the Overlords but fail, and have to use Kaito's Banana Lockseed to defeat Roshuo? But, because it was cracked by Micchy, it shatters after the fight and Kaito's lost forever.

Until the movie where he comes from the future to save them from that time's Gaim gone crazy because of a Lockseed.

These OOO references doing anything for anyone? They're making me laugh.

The episode itself was good, as always. The alternate reality kind of drug on but watching Kaito start the beatdown of Micchy made up for that.

This episode contains the best rider BSOD comeback ever. That was intense!

This was a good episode. Not the best but okay. The fights were alright, Yuyya Gaim I prefer over Kouta Gaim.

To be fair, Overlords tend to have as many freaking powers as they please. Remember how Demushuu had fire powers, turning into flying mud, and some blue energy attack? Plus that teleporting/super-speed thing he does to escape.

This was possibly the best episode yet.

Since I just watched the sub, I'm still processing everything. It was a little overwhelming. This is what I knew Kouta's character was capable of. Every character in fact was useful to this episode.

I want to say it's gonna be hard to beat this, but I'm gonna wait and keep watching. Epic story keeps getting more epic.

Oh, and on a side note, did anyone else feel sorry for the suit actor playing Kouta-Invess? Dude was getting beat like it was a free for all at a women's safety course. Eyes! Eyes! Neck! Groin! Even poor Kouta-Invess comes off looking a little cute. Like the cuddly monster you want to give hugz to.
