Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 47 (Final) "Transform! And to the Future" Discussion
 

As we say goodbye to an obvious fan favorite, join in on our 9 day Tokunation Celebration of Gaim!

Ugh. I have to work Saturday. Looks like I'll have to have a total media blackout until the subs are up, or at least the RAW.

Really wanna see them have fun with the last episode. Gaims story is pretty much wrapped up now so I´m up for a nice entertaining epilogue before we get car driving, tire wearing bugman next week :lol

Kamen Rider Michelin. lol

I'm just waiting to actually hear Micchy's theme get used in the show.

I can just imagine Kouta coming to their rescues and leave Earth again.

How do you watch the livestream? It's playing some other thing right now.

That's all detailed in the first post of the thread with the link.

Really? Really?!

Jam is just some random chick? So lame...

Okay I get that he's Mars, but why inhabit some random girl? That's all I'll think of now when I think of who turns into Jam.

Oh but now here come the feels. :(

Junochi knows the truth about Hase... oh man...

That was pretty good even without the subs. Certainly wasn't as bad as the last W episode, which it reminded me of at first, being a sequel to the finale proper.

Well that was a dang good episode. Sad to see it all end, but it had a good end far as I think.

Well it does make a bit of sense that Jam/Mars would take over a random citizen. He's from an alternate world so he wouldn't know who's important in this world, plus as shown in the episode he could use the whole "innocent citizen" thing to make his enemies think twice about dealing a fatal blow

Overall a great ending to an amazing series, can't wait for the subs and also can't wait to see how well Drive can do following Gaim.

not totally sure how to feel since I couldn't understand anything they were saying.

Not thrilled with Jam but I didn't expect much out of a one episode evil rider.

I guess it's time to leave the Gaim once and for all..

I have to say the final battle felt satisfying..maybe even more so than Baron vs Gaim..that was high-action and this was more to bring things together..

I liked that it followed through on Urobutcher's message abt Micchy to bring it to a full end. Tho' tossing around Kurokage Trooper #37 made his henshin a bit pointless. I wish they had finally made him a bit more competent to give him some poignancy. The best part of the ep was to see all the characters share and interact especially Akira and Takatora..the last bit with Baron helped make it feel like feature film ending

This was the first Kamen Rider I followed weekly in full( without skipping eps)
and I have to say it was fully worth it. I'm sure we all rushed in with the draw of Urobutcher and he's revitalized the series making each episode amp up the tone at relatively breakneck pace. It's not perfect but it's one of the best neo-heisei series and managed to always keep our interest unlike some which tend to trip up especially home stretch. Bravo, Gaim and may the fruit be with you.

PS- I'm sure I'll do a retrospective post again after subs but I did'nt want this moment pass without saying anything..

Kougane is an artificial lifeform created by Roshuo's people who took the form of a human (according to movie description). It has the potential to become the next apple owner.
There is no further description on what exactly it else it can do.

I LOVED this episode. My favorite moment was surely when Micchi came to help Jonouchi. "It's true that Kouta is a hero. But he is gone and now we have to be the heroes!" Now that's what I call making an entrance.

Also, awww for Jonouchi becoming Kurokage!

DONT SAY NO JUST LIVE MORE
The final tag team of Gaim and Ryugen was as satisfying as Kiva and Dark Kiva teaming up. Truly an awesome ending. I am glad that they finally let Jonouchi have another moment of growth as he does not blame others for Hase's death but blames himself and then even if the chances are super low he faces evil with all he's got. thumbs up for Jonouchi.
And it was satisfying to finish the show off with a DOUBLE RIDER KIIIIICCCCKKKKK!!!!

Amazing finale is all I can say.

A fantastic epilogue with great character interaction (Takatora and Akira!) and Kougane returning as Jam was an okay attempt to tie in the movie that surprisingly was probably better than creating a completely new villain.

Jonouchi finally got an awesome moment and Mitchi also got fantastic scenes this episode.

Final battle with Gaim and Ryugen vs Jam was freakin excellent. And Double Rider kick!

Glad Kaito got one last scene as well.

Fantastic ending and fantastic series overall.

I thought this was an amazing finale. Granted, I think last week's episode would have been a more powerful ending, this one tied up the remaining loose ends. Jonouchi finally discovering that Hase is dead and his determination then to honor him by wearing the Kurokage trooper armor to fight Jam.

And the biggest moment of all ... Micchy arriving to fight Jam, and then doing his classic henshin pose with Kouta in the background.

So is Micchy redeemed? No, but he's definitely on the track to do doing so. I think he was shocked at the concern he received when everyone went rushing up to him at the end.

Micchy was the hero in the end.

The only thing I didn't like about the episode was the girl's acting. I couldn't one of the more important scenes seriously because of that laugh.

Loved this finale. I hate bullshit epilogue endings like last week. This one felt like the real deal and tacked on villain or not, I enjoyed it immensely. The feel worthy moments here were excellent. Jonouchi becoming Kurokage was powerful stuff. And Micchy becoming the hero he was meant to be in the beginning really got me.

Did he redeem himself? You decide!!

First time he's done this pose in like ... 20 episodes. Loved it. Powerful stuff.

Ya boi.

He can't catch though.....

Maybe..

I'll save my final decision for the subs, but right now he feels like the Micchy from the start of the show, the one everyone loved. And that's great. What would make it even cooler would be if his taking over Gaim's duty as Zamawe's protector also extended into the crossover moves, with him being the series' representative. There's not a chance in hell that'd ever happen, but I still like the idea.

With the exception that the one at the beginning of the show was very insecure about himself and was just a kid pretending to be a hero. The Micchi at the end is almost the opposite. He isnt insecure anymore and knows where his strengths and weaknesses are. He became a man that went through hell and came back scarred. He ruined not just his own life but the lifes of so many people he loved and he knows that. He is aware of what he has done wrong and even if he will never truly be a hero he will do everything in his power to atone for his sins.

I'd be perfectly fine with Micchy returning when Kouta can't be bothered. Hell, he is the Sayaka stand-in after all.

Anyway, I kind of have to wonder if they saw how all the Ryugen merchandise was piling up in the warehouses and they made him return to the light just to make him sellable again. Either way, I've got no complaints- Micchy has been just as engaging a character and had just as great an arc as Kouta. Not bad for a third-string Rider.

Yeah, he feels like what Micchy at the start of the show would have been expected to become if the stuff in the middle hadn't happened.

YES! That pose is also a YES!

Kamen Rider Gaim RAW Ep. 47

It just occurred to me, was Point of No Return even in this episode? I couldn't hear it.

Jam Girl, will you please STFU and stop laughing? It's horrible and you should feel bad. Thanks!

No it didn't. I've listened to it and to me, it wasn't the kind of song that would be appropriate to signal Micchi's redemption.

I like it a lot, it sucks it didn't make it into the show.

I need to wait for the subs to for my full opinions but I already know I won't see Micchy as redeemed, he might be trying to make amends but he did stuff that no one can redeem themselves for earlier in the series IMO.

Fixed.

Lol hah didn't even notice that my bad fixed it, guess that's what i get for typing up a post during an rp event in wow.
