Kamen Rider Ghost Episode 25: "Anomaly! A Red Sky" Discussion
 

Takeru finds a surprising ally & a shocking opponent while trying to recover Makoto from the Ganma World.

Akari didn't trust to Aran...hmmm...interesting....

Hikoki Ganma sprying gas from Ganma World atmosphere? Hmm..it seems Demia Project is just begun.....

Adel......has new power from Ganmanizer Fire Monolith?

Takeru cannot uses 15 Ghost Eyecons powers when Takeru want to uses all 15 Ghost Eyecon at the near his father monolith.......

Hm...interesting battle between Ghost Greateful Damahsii vs Hikoki Ganma. With help from Benkei, Tutankhamun, and Musashi, Ghost can destroy Hikoki Ganma.

Hm...it seems the Tutankhamun Parka Ghost voice actor its still young. Hmm...if I am not wrong, Tutankhamun in real life is youngest Pharaoh and his death in 18 years old.

Tut was pretty young, yeah. Voice actor's the same as the other Ghosts though. Dude's got some range. Though for this he just used his Mepple voice.

Interesting episode, in any case. The Ganma plot is becoming clearer, more mysteries arise with the prayer room stuff (which does in fact seem to be directly connected to the 15 eyecons), it *kinda* looks like there may be something more interesting in Javert's future beyond serving as a punching bag...neat enough stuff.

Did Javert just...walk around all hurt for two days though. That's pretty silly.

Billy use was tad underwhelming, which is a bit of a shame. Also, damn, a Boost-less episode. How rare.

Against my expectations, it does indeed look like Takeru's gonna use Grateful as much as he did Boost. And I mean. I get it, it's the new toy and everything, but it's...eh? It kinda feels wasteful...? Not sure how to put it. Grateful's so stupidly powerful and versatile that seeing Takeru go straight to it to deal with a motw (that has not shown itself any more dangerous than any other common Ganma) is kinda dumb. It's just a curb-stomp, so that's not exactly super interesting. The Ghost-summoning ability keeps the Grateful sequences fun, but it still just feels like overkill.

Oh well.

And it looks like finally, fina-freaking-lly we're seeing Grimm against next episode. And about damn time too! First and only use so far was episode 16, only getting the second in episode 26 is just...bad. Even by Ghost's form change standards.

Of course, I certainly don't expect it to be a particularly memorable transformation, because: Ghost. But at least it's something.

I love they make Tutankhamun's voice based from real Tutankhamun as young ruler.

Hmm...Ghost use Grateful to defeat Motw....but I think Hikoki Ganma also can defeated by:
- Ghost Billy The Kid Damashii
- Ghost Newton Damashii
- Ghost Robin Hood Damashii

I think Grateful better used to defeat Ganma Ultima and other higher level Ganma....

About Grimm, Hmm....I hope Aran use Grimm Omega Ulorder finisher....

Well, I think this episode stated that 15 tablets from Ganma World is probably stronger than 15 Eyecons together (cancel the wish formation). That might be interesting, a reason for Takeru to get his final form.

Same here, I wonder why Takeru not just summon Newton to help him flying instead of 3 other Heroes.

An even better question: why didn't he summon Houdini the ghost who's special power is FLYING :eyebrow

Because they wanted to save it for next week?

If they made things too easy with Newton or Houdini, there wouldn't have been room for an Advent Children reference.

Intentional or not, that's what it reminded me of. :lol

Most importantly, why didn't he fly himself? Unlike Makoto, he is a ghost he can fly himself! It's part of his power package since the first episode!

Simple, Takeru's an idiot.

Well, he's certainly been able to lift, float, hover, and glide. But I wouldn't consider that actual "flying." His own abilities probably have a low altitude limit.

It also hasn't been shown that he can float in any form other than Ore Damashii. In fact, in episode...9? (the...one with benkei i don't even remember) he was floating as Ore, but switched to Robin Hood and immediately went back to Earth. Outside of the opening, he also has never floated outside of his Rider form, as a human, so it looks like it's not an innate ability of his or ghosts in general.

I mean. The villains are all pretty much "ghosts" (well, disembodied spirits, same deal really), and Makoto actually was as well. No floating from any of those guys.

Yurusen and the Parka Ghosts...and Captain Ghost, for some reason...are the only entities (without specific flying powers) we've seen that are fully capable of doing so.

Good point. Sorta makes you think he'd use the form more often in that case. :p

Just watched it subbed, didn't catch it the first time but, so Kanon has a red sky sickness huh. Guessing that's how she died.

Well, he does fly in human form when his clock got reset ala Boost in episode 12.

Yeah but that was more like he was descending from whatever place he was in when he talked to his dad.

I wonder if Red Sky could be the reason of why Kanon was Ganma Eyecon in the first place? Make sense sort of

I bet Takeru's Monolith is connect to Adonis' Place where he say his prayer

Adonis must be the one who grant Takeru's wish to revive Kanon

Conspiracy! :eek:

Can they just rescue Makoto already? Why are they keep on creating more drama and extending this? I can't wait for Toucon Houdini next week, it seems like it's going to be fun.

Because they've gotta wait until Specter's new toys are released. :p

While I think the plot must satisfy toys release schedule is okay, it seems they tried to drag the plot for real. Both this time and the previous one had "preparation" episodes before entering Ganma World for real. While it did feel natural, can they just travel to Ganma World, stay for like 3 episodes, let the plot happens there and Makoto can get his shiny new toys instead of PREPARING to enter in 2 episodes?

Ghost's story continues being intriguing. It reminds me a nice mix of the early Heisei Era storytelling merged with the toy commercial-ness of the Neo-Heisei ones lol. I miss Makoto a lot so I hope they get him back soon. I still loved Akari this episode with being wary of Alain and looks like she was right to be even though he didn't act he was planning something. Alain is just more fun and intriguing with his development of being stuck in a physical body, especially with overeating on the takoyaki lol. Though it's interesting to see him team up with Takeru and see how much Takeru has changed through this journey rather than when Makoto first re-met Takeru in the beginning of the series. I am intrigued with the wish making and why it didn't work and if it was Alain's father or someone else who provided the first wish or if it needs a Ganma's body to work or something. Definitely raises the intrigue here, I swear I haven't had questions like this since Agito or OOO lol (Still wondering why Hina has super strength lol.) Loved the Advent Children reference whether they were going for it or not it was still awesome. Also I thought he just used the Luminaries to help him so he could reach the Ganma at a faster speed than he could fly, he hasn't been shown that he could fly fast enough to catch that Ganma. Anyways I can't wait for more.

Did anyone else notice that Shibuya was wearing a NC State jacket at the end of the episode?
