Kamen Rider Drive Episode 9 "How Can I Get Used To The Cool Body?" Discussion
 

The Roimudes are evolving. Can Drive keep up the same pace??

Oh look, a standalone episode. Maybe now people will stop complaining all the time.

I think Technique just became my favourite form, I have a bias for Green but then he started moving all Roborider like and I just fell. Proper shame though that he didn't keep it up for the rest of the episode though but it's nice to see a form that isn't all brute force powerful. Makes me think more of Kuuga's forms.

Also gotta say a one and done episode! It's nice to see them changing it up on the fly. Makes things a bit less predictable since there's no set pattern of episodes (like two parter, one part, two parter, one part)

I'll be damned. They broke the 2 episode arc chain.

This is wondeful xD

Even though this episode was used to introduced Drive Type Technique.......this feels like a filler episode to me

Well its pretty clear that this episode is build up for the next few. The whole bit with Chase and Heart getting the little machine (?) are going to pay off later.

A pretty nice episode. I can't quite get what Technic's thing actually is but the form definitely looks better in action (shoulder movement was a concern but that's actually fine with those piston-looking thingies). The hacking scene was kind of hilarious for the fact that they stuck to typical totally irrelevant English (I saw "North Pole" at one point) but the sensor in the back of his head was cool. Fire Braver is nice too but I didn't really see the point of Rolling Gravity.

Subs are finally out. Looks like O-T is slipping.

Oh, please. The last time they subbed a Rider(Wizard), we weren't getting subs until Monday-Wednesday, so Sunday night is fine by me.

So the preview for next ep pretty much outs that Heart was the one to take down Proto-Drive. Makes sense as I see Heart as more the leader then Brain.

So Technic is "utility"? Kind of makes sense. Except also it has technology powers, which are conveniently useful in this exact situation. And it's nice to have an explanation for how the shift cars summon roads but I thought that was just part of their own powersets.

The Roidmude slowdown-ing them kind of makes me question why they didn't have cars with them in the first place.

I really like the main monster's design this weak. Quite busy but I like the electricity thing it has going on and the shoulder pylons.

That kid really shouldn't have been hanging around weird junkyards and eavesdropping on monsters though. Not sure what the monster was realling achieving by plugging the kid into his machine though.

Add another onto the list of people who knows his identity too, I guess.

Tridoron Type Technic looks kinda stupid though.

Why do they just have Drive emblems lying around? It seems a weird thing to have around, although I guess Rinna might have a few if she's working on equipment.

Looks like a bit of belt backstory next week. Should be good.

Yes, but Wizard was making everyone who watched it suffer. And this is coming from someone who kind of likes Wizard.

Subs didn't come out during the stream on Saturday. Looks like O-T is slipping.

I don't know if the original post was sarcasm or not, but if you think people voluntarily subbing a show and get it out a few hours later than usual is "slipping" than you seriously need to rethink things.

That is a good point what was the reason for putting the kid in the machine :confused:

Man Type Technique completely blew me away, awesome form!

To kill him because he's an unwanted witness who knows Volt's identity?

Type Technic looks stiff but it gets the job done with great precision. I love how he's able to take on one task while at the same time defend himself and he doesn't need to turn around. Type Technic Trideron looks silly but I can see it having some great uses. Overall, this episode was a good intro to Type Technic and hopefully we see more next week.

Oh my god, it was just a joke. I commend O-T for getting these out so fast. A few hours difference doesn't really matter.

What else are you going to do with a kid-shaped hole in your machine?

This was an okay episode. Not terrible, but didn't really blow me away.

Really enjoyed the episode. Its was mostly set up for whats coming up next with Heart and probably Medic but I loved it for Shinnosuke trying to act cool and failing hard at it :lol

I apologise then. But you'd be surprised how many people say that and are genuinely serious about it.

This one was good. Not sure why he had to use the kid, beyond "I need something to hold a charge- you'll do!" but what are you going to do? Technic feels cool, if a little overpowered, but I like him. Not as much as Speed, but he still looks nice. Bravers pretty good too, and Gravity's awesome. Can't wait for next week!

I thought this was a good episode but not a great one.
