Kamen Rider Ghost Episode 42- "Astounded! The Truth About The Hermit" Discussion
 

Time at last for the secrets of the Ganma World to be fully explored...

This is really cool episode!!! :D

So Eddith are Hermit after all....not supprising but the execution is really good :D

In the past, Eddith battle against Mushashi and Ryu Tenkuji but Eddith defeated by Musashi and Ryu Tenkuji....so after that, Eddith join with Ryu Tenkuji....

The battle looks intense and cool...Adel in Perfect Ganmaizer Form use various weapon from some of Ganmaizers (Hammer, Arrow, Spear, and Riffle) but Takeru in Ghost Mugen Damashii can destroy all weapons. Takeru also destroy Ganmaizer Planet and Ganmazier Climate.

The Rider Kick battle between Adel in Perfect Ganmazier Form (use Drill Plant Whip Kick) against Ghost Mugen Damashii's Rider Kick looks awesome and finally Adel defeated by Takeru....

I tought Adel will become good guy after his battle against Takeru..but Adel escape to Ganma World......in Ganma World Adel destroy his Eyecon body....

So.....only 3 Ganmaizers remaining....

Next episode....genius boy appear and he targeted by Igor?

Oh my.

The Necrom squad has Iguanas. That came outta nowhere.

I am so jealous of those who can like this show because I really hate not liking a kamen rider series this much when I loved it when it started

This was fine. I still have some questions about the backstory, but I'm guessing that will get filled in in the last six episodes. Action is still pretty lackluster, but not awful. Pretty much just another episode of Ghost.

You know I was expecting them to reveal Sage and Edith were the same, but I wasn't expecting it to be by him forgetting to change clothes. Now this really makes me question what exactly Yurusen is.

That being said, wow Adel, good job in taking the wrong lesson from what Takeru was trying to teach you. Also, become The World? Sorry buddy but Misao's already got that area covered.

You just made my day with this comment.

Episode was average.considering that this is Ghost we're talking about, I suppose that counts as good?

The highlights, in my opinion, were Adel using the Ganmeisers as weapons and Ryu defeat Edith Ultima Ebony using Musashi as a Pokemon and then fighting alongside him. Both events were seriously weird enough. Ultima Ganma getting defeated by a mere human makes no sense. And the sight of Adel using weapons was just strange although the weapons themselves looked kinda cool.

It's funny how the show keeps babbling about "Infinite Potential", considering that’s the only thing this show got in the end: Potential. Potential which they never properly used.

In my personal experience with this franchise Ghost will go down as a show which sounds great on paper but wastes every little drop of potential.

The reveal of Gramps and his backstory was something I wanted to see for a long time so I enjoyed what I saw, but meanwhile Ghost continues to be Ghost so everything around it was mediocre at best. I think even the action is really boring, it lacks focus IMO. Other shows often had some really cool camera angles or impact to their fighting, Ghost is always meh. It had its shots but I can’t remember a single fight which really impressed me.

The show isn’t over yet but for me it really feels like it has nothing more to offer. To be honest the Summer Movie interests me a little bit but the show is over as far as I’m concerned. I’ll watch the last bunch of episodes so that the show can get to its predictable happy ending with both worlds saved and Takeru revived but I don’t expect to be entertained.

There are good designs in this show which sucks when I think the show well sucks. Also . . . YOU ARE TELLING ME TAKERU NEVER KNEW THEY WERE THAT WORRY ABOUT YOU REVIVING IS HE A FUCKING DUMBASS? I mean they never really shown that he could be that dumb till now to my knowledge

I agree, I assumed he knew because he's always talking about the infinite potential of humans.

Yea, if anything, that comment really ticked me off in the Episode. I had to call out straight BS on that, because that's just IDIOTIC of him not to think his friends were that caring of his well-being.

This goes into another issue I'm having with Ghost ever since he obtained Mugen Soul: the whole "emotions" thing, while at first sounding interesting, is in the end really underplayed & not used as well as it should be in the show. For some reason, in the show now, Takeru is obtaining the different emotional attacks through not actually FEELING THE EMOTIONS HIMSELF, which would've been alot more interesting to watch.....Nope, instead, the writers decided to make it to where he OBSERVES OTHERS GO THROUGH THE EMOTION. And this has led to more Victims of the Week plotlines that really shouldn't be going on in the final Episodes of the Series, and Takeru being even more stale of a character and not getting the proper character development he desperately needs. (Kamen Rider as a whole SERIOUSLY needs to work on writing their main protagonist go through some frickin character development....it's rare to get it nowadays) How cool would it have been to see Takeru actually get ANGRY for once in a long time, and to be angry at someone like the Sage, no less? This would've been interesting. Same with the other emotions like Joy(I can give this one a pass, since it was the first one, and it made sense since I guess he was happy that his friends went through such effort to revive him), Faith & Valor.

Heck, if they wanted to go for Takeru observing these emotions, why not do it via Takeru's allies?!! That'd be alot more fitting and strike closer to home in wrapping up this Series. After all, it was THEIR emotions, as it is described in Mugen's description, which helped form Mugen Soul. Why not tie in one Emotion to each person? In fact, in this Episode, when Takeru was having flashbacks of his times with Makoto, Alain & Akari, I THOUGHT that was what they were doing....but NOPE, instead they just turned it into pointless hero babble that really didn't make much sense in context of what Adel was challenging Takeru on with humanity. I don't see how Faith ties to Makoto, Fun to Alain, or Valor to Akari.....(If anything, I was thinking Anger would tie to Makoto, and Love would tie to Akari whenever that shows up)

Well that was obvious that Edith was Sennin the whole time but it definitely was intriguing to learn about his back story and what was really going on here. It kind of enhances the earlier episodes with this in mind. I loved Alain fighting against his brother in the beginning and even doing some damage to him but mainly trying to connect with him. I really love this show is really about humanity and all the facets of that with connecting with people and emotions and it took some time to figure out what it was about but that is really an amazing message and how believing in yourself and other people is important. Anyways back to the episode I enjoyed how Takeru didn't realize how much everyone cared about him and how he learned about anger and how to use it wisely and how to calm everyone down with Sennin. Sennin was really horrible with how he manipulated Takeru in the beginning but I think it helped Sennin learn that he made a mistake and a part of being human and in the long run his way I think helped Takeru for the better and with seeing Sennin's memories I'm sure he understood his heart so that's why he wasn't upset with him. One of those whole doing the right thing the wrong way situations. Takeru vs Adel was totally amazing and I loved connecting everything to his friends and his past situations and how humans have infinite potential. Though I am glad that Adel didn't switch sides because I am enjoying him as a villain and he is one of the best KR villains of late (I would say if Drive didn't have some damn amazing ones itself lol). Can't wait for more and I am excited for this movie too.
