Kamen Rider Drive Episode 40- "Why Did The Two Genius Scientists Clash?" Discussion
 

New secrets are revealed and old allegiances are tested!

Double Tornado Rider Kick made this ep awesome.
And Chase's "I HAVE LICENSE. NOW I CAN DRIVE CAR.":lolol
Morita Masakazu fans, you will all get a kick out of this one.

Kiriko hot <3

So I take it that Gou's hating on Roidmudes day is over? He doesn't seem annoying by Chase anymore once he finally got Driver License?

Banno is KARR to Krim's KITT since Producer states that Kamen Rider Drive would be Kamen Rider meet Knight Rider.

I have a feeling that Banno and 004 put a chip on Krim that supposedly corrupt him to tie-in Drive Summer Movie.

I hopefully that we finally get to found out of who is Dark Drive's identity. I doubt it would be Eiji because it would be biggest plothole. You cannot have 2 Eiji. Lol

That double rider finish was nothing compared to how powerful Krim's SHUT UP was.

Indeed. That was the ultimate finisher lol.

That SHUT UP sure was something. I love Chaser and all, but it was nice to see the Drive and Mach duo again. Drive has the greatest finishers at the end of every episode for sure.

^agree! Their finishers are the most creative IMO and did anybody notice that purple chip 004 was holding? I think that maybe a tie in to Surprise Future.

Probably. Sucks that most of us won't be able to see that movie until next spring.

I'm kind of impressed by just how interesting and engaging Heart is becoming as a villain. This episode really had some great Heart moments. I wish the show had started this sooner and we'd had more than just the last few episodes to see him get truly fleshed out.

Not much else that I feel needs to be said, but that last fight once again proved my belief that the optimal number of Riders in a show is three.

You can say that again. I'm also surprised how much development Heart gets. It's a shame he'll die sooner than later, after all this I kind of hoped Heart would get around and fight against Banno with the Kamen Riders.

Killing all Roidmudes can't be the end of the show anyways, after showing us that not all of them are terrible I at least expect that the last Roidmudes are spared and given a chance to live among humans.

Yeah I almost hope Heart would survive, but it's not gonna happen :/

I have a hunch Heart is gonna turn and help the Riders try to defeat Gold Drive before getting killed by Banno himself.

It would make sense. I have no idea how he would fight with Banno anyway after what we learned in this episode. Maybe Banno has a control device for Roiudmudes or something, but I can't believe Heart would fight for him out of free will.

It's been a while again since Drive made me cry. Such a Dramatik episode. Didn't expect Heart's Story to be so sad. Also, poor Gou ;_;

you gotta admit that ending stuff with Kirko, Shinnouske, Gou, and Chase was pretty heartwarming.

You notice that Gou doesn't seem annoying by Chase anymore as his hating on Roidmudes day are over. He now hates his own dad for bad stuff he did.

I wonder if Kiriko will end up with Shinnosuke than Chase?

Well lets found out in Surprise Future!:

What if Heart would be saved if Gou offered him to be inside the Deadheat Shift Car?

SHUT UP!

Fantastic episode. Will keep it short and sweet since everyone else has pretty much covered all the great things I have to say about the drama and superb Heart development.

And although it was most likely just a coincidence, that bit at the end where Chase was walking away with the guitar piece playing over it gave me MAJOR Kikaider vibes. Both his little speech and the actual music.

I hope Chase doesn't end up dying at the end of the series. His affirmation at the end of the episode felt like it raised a Death Flag.

Just caught the episode again, and it was fantastic:

1) Heart + Gou's FEELS moment. You are disappointed by your creator. I can relate to that. LEVELS, man. LEVELS. Drive hitting hard.

2) Front Wheel/Full Throttle. Completely missed this watching the stream, but thats one of the more creative teamwork moves i've ever seen.

3) Ride-Booster-Assisted Double Rider Kick. So much fun

4) Kiriko in wedding dress. Applause.

5) Explanation for Heart's human form. WHAT?

6) Kamen Rider Chase: Licensed Form. Most entertaining upgrade form ever. Kiriko totalling selling the "You can back them up in the Trideron? Really?!"

Dollars to donuts since we've seen the preview, Medic gets her Ultimate Evolution, but so does Chase. That would achieve the Promised Number, but would also sacrifice Chase as the only way to stop the Roidmudes from completing their plan.

Gou turning proper good heel was worth the watch, but anyone else burnt out on crazy scientists? Gaim's Ryouma really was the better mad scientist. Banno is just an evil Siri....well, evil buckle.

This show.

Get me to despise Mach only to then love him as he grows a pair and decides to do what's right? Check.

Get me to end up loving Heart as the anti-hero who just happens to be the main villain? Check.

5/5. This show has already made me forget about Gaim. And that's saying something.

God this episode is just so good.

I thought the show fumbled a bit after the Shinnosuke's dad arc but then ti has just gotten so much better.

Right?

I'm so glad I skipped the first 20 eps of this show :lol The first few episodes burned me out on what felt like a new episodic show with no over-arching story line. Boy was I wrong.

Drive is sort of like Blade in that the start isn't so great to eventually become something so good.

But at least the start of blade is better in that regard because Blade starts improving earlier and has some good foreshadowing stuff in the beginning along with good focus on Tachibana.

LMAO! I love Chase's new "I can do everything cuz I've got a license now!!!" bit haha! You could tell Uchida Rio-san was trying SOOO hard not to burst out in laughter lol.
