Kamen Rider Drive Episode 23- "Who Can Stop That Fake Smile?" Discussion
 

Drive unlocks the full potential of Type Formula!

Well someone was trying to break the Speed Force.

It was awesome though :D

Never said it wasn't :D

Is there a streaming of it yet!?

Here it is: http://www.miomio.tv/watch/cc179320/

And next week's a crossover...

So is this a stand alone episode?

As for the crossover, after the ones we had last year, I'm definitely going to skip them this time.

Hey was this weeks roidmude a retool of volt? because it sort of looked like him.

Not really, the reason the crossover is happening next week, which means it is delayed one week because of delaying in ToQGer cause the episode of UFOMaru delayed. They can't give a new mecha out in a special crossover before it's own debut in the show, I guess.

And about the quality, you can skip both show, really. Neither Drive nor Ninninger has good rating so far. The reason I'll watch them is because of the interaction between heros in both show.

How does ratings determine the quality of a show? Ratings don't even account for people who DVR it and watch it later or watch it online.

I'm more open to the concept this year because, unlike Gaim, Drive doesn't have an ongoing story that's going to be interrupted by crossovers and movie tie-ins.

Yeah, funny enough Drive's lack of story makes me more interested in the crossover.

I think it's safe to say that Drive's Type Formula is faster than Accel and Clock Up.

Speed force....ain't that the truth? It would be just fan service if somehow they invited Grant Gustin to make an appearance on the show, just for kicks and giggles.

I'm glad it wasn't an all Chase episode. I'm just tired of Kiriko mooning over him.

At least next week we get to see how much more utterly ridiculous they can make ShurikenJin by combining Trideron. I enjoy the funsies of it all.

This episode made me really like Type Formula more than it's own introduction episodes.

This was a good episode made me look at you in a different light. Also I like type formula and his shift cars a lot now.

I like this episode, because this is the first time since Mutsuki, that a secondary/other rider beside MC complained for lack of power ups:D.

Man, it figures that the one time the show has a decent cliffhanger is the week before the crossover special. :lol

The rest of the episode was pretty forgettable, though. Honestly, I kinda started to fall asleep during the final battle. Probably shouldn't have made watching Drive the last thing I did before going to bed.

Bonus points for no captain, though. That actor must be really busy, given how many episodes he's been missing.

You might say he felt like a spare tire. A third wheel. A loose axle.

Okay...I give up.

They should remove the time restrain on using Dead Heat and Mach'll be good to go. I get the feel that he's the most suffering one in this show.

This episode made me like Formula a bit more by demonstrating what it can do and its own shift cars but it doesn't entirely make up for the lacklustre introduction.

The Chase subplot is quite interesting, although low-key enough that I don't mind it being interrupted for a crossover.

Pretty much.

It's not just a time strain on using Dead Heat though. I thought the whole point of Mach was that he cant maintain the power for long periods of time, because of the harm it does to him.

I curse my luck because the one time I am super excited for the next episode of Drive they decide to have a crossover :lol
