Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 35- "Rescue Your Partner!" Discussion
 

In a STUNNING development, Kamen Rider Lazer has returned! But the one-time ally is now on the side of Cronos, out to destroy Ex-Aid! What is the secret behind his return and allegiance???

Super Sonic next week!

Two weeks. No new episode on the 18th due to golf.

That blows. It just had to be pre-empted when a new suit comes along.

Last scene and The OST at the last scene really gives me a thrilling feeling xD
Now we have to wait 2 weeks to see next ep >: (

Conflict between Kiriya and Emu become more interesting. :D

But...Asuna not transform in this episode is really annoying....

Hmm....next episode...Hyper Muteki!!! :D

Hmm.....Emu hold Gashacon Bugvisor II in Next episode. It could be Poppy's Bugvisor or Masamune's Bugvisor.....

It will be too fast if Masamune killed by Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer....

I hope he is killed by Muteki Gamer he needs to go already can't stand him.

What did Lazer say to Emu in his ear? Does anybody know?

We've had 12+ episodes from the beginning of the series until his death to understand Kiriya's mannerisms and personality, and from that I can conclude with this.........

Lazer told Emu he's going to play "double-agent" for now and find out what Cronus is up to, while Emu has to "play along." This isn't confirmed, but this is my conclusion based off of how Kiriya has been presented to us since his character was introduced from the beginning.

This is classic Kiriya-san at its finest, lie your way to the solution.

Okay This need sub fast there so much important things in story, and this is classic kirya alright :D
Yup this is super annoying what the hell writer thinking? now KR poppy feel like just there to promoted Toy, which is sad because i like poppy/asuna character as well the actress i wish they implemented more about this character to combat :(

Hmm....Emu hold Gashacon Bugvisor II in next episode probably after Masamune defeated by Emu.

If Masamune killed, the conflict beteween CR and Bugsters will be continue because Pallad, Graphite, and some other Bugsters is still exist.

I hope she will become Kamen Rider Poppy in next episode especially when Emu attacked by Kiriya again.

Bet Kiriya is being his lying self. Its probably Mach all over again just this time Emu is aware of Kiriya's plan so he is acting all serious and betrayed.
Kuroto is such a terrible fighter. Him jumping out of mario bin was still funny xD

Sad we need to wait 2 weeks for Muteki. If I recall correctly, we had a break for Mighty Brothers as well...

Maybe Asuna/Poppy is really genre savvy and knows if she transforms she has a high probability of dying. :lol

If she knows that....then....she's breaking the fourth wall! Poppy is omniscient! Poppipopanic!

I swear I've spent hours listening to Hyper Muteki's jingle. If you thought listening to a song repeatedly was bad, I was doing it to a toy commercial.

Gemdeus did made an appearance in the summer movie trailer. I'm expecting the movie to be an alternate ending for the series like Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, and Kabuto.

Um, no. It's been repeatedly stated by the producer to be the True Ending to the show, and the original tagline was 'the true ending, broadcast early'. It's all in the title: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: The True Ending.

Also Kabuto's wasn't an alternate ending either, but the canon beginning to the show - Kabuto is literally a time paradox.

Broadcast early? You mean in theaters? I think the tv will still have another ending since they're still filming. Movies like these always disrupt the continuity and retcon things.

Kabuto still provide a different ending with the destruction of the worms. Kiva and Os are the non-canon ones that doesn't provide any complete ending. Hibiki was a flashback that's canon too.

I think the other tidbit said about TRUE ENDING was that, as the show reaches it's climax proper, it will be multilayered if you watch the film (paraphrasing here).

I'm still wondering where Kuroto stands after Chronos is defeated. If he was never killed off by Pallad, he would pretty much be controlling people and bugster lives just like Chronos. Maybe they writers will expand his storyline with his mother again and have him sacrifice/redeem himself later on. He's pretty much a gag character now.

This episode was great mainly because Kiriya is back. I'm dying to know what he said to Emu because Emu really reacted badly to that. More importantly let's take some time to appreciate the our man, Shin Kuroto Dan. This week's Kuroto moments include:

-Kuroto flying out of the continue tube
-Calling himself the game master (again) and calling out those illegal gashats
-Kuroto's jerk smile when Kiriya referenced his death
-Kuroto furiously typing away at 4 keyboards to make a gashat
-Kuroto completing his most perfect creation

Honestly this is a highlight for me too

Without a doubt it was the funniest moment of Ex-Aid so far.

I think they bring back Kiriya to live after his death in episode 12 because unexpected Kiriya's popularity.

Hmm.yeah the victim of the week in Ex-Aid series become more boring right now. In my opinion, Kamen Rider W has more interesting victim of the week problems especially because criminal case.

Well, I'm glad that we're seeing the Proto Gashats in action. It's taken long enough...serious question though, why haven't any of them (Neo-Dan Kuroto) used the Proto Gashats when the had the chance?

What I mean by this is that he had access tot hem before they were stolen on Episode 32. Why didn't he use them before?

Another question is, if Lazer Turbo uses a duplicate of the Baksou Bike Gashat, then why does:

A) it skip Level 1 form? I know that the data might be tampered with (for example, humanoid form), but it doesn't explain enough. The Gamer Driver has the built-in feature of Level 1. And even if he pulled the handle straight open, it still should've appeared for a second...

B) it have access to the Gashacon Sparrow. I thought that was tied to Giri-Giri-Chambara? Kiriya only got access to it, to begin with through the Giri-Giri Chambara Gahsat. Kuroto only had access to it because of the Giri-Giri Chambara Gashat. The Ride Players who stole Emu'sd gear got it through the Giri-Giri Chambara Gahast.

I did like this episode...but I'd say that Kiriya returning poked a bunch of holes in the story, along with making everyone question the character's reasons for what they're doing....

Still, can't wait for Hyper Muteki!

You can see Kiriya being given the Proto Giri-Giri Chanbara Gashat in the Toei images.

Since Kuroto's mother was infected by Bugster Virus from DoReMiFa Beat game, what if Kuroto's mother inside Proto DoReMiFa Beat Gashat? And what if she will be revived by Masamune?

Movie Taisen, GoRiders, HBV, and now the tv show. The actor was never really gone.

Lol ex aid is pretty much series when all character can make good meme :D
this new one is my favorites :D

One of the problems is that post-Chronicle, most of the patients are idiots who brought this on themselves. You really have to be an Emu-like saint to give a shit about them in any way.

Ahahahaha, Kiriya is totally playing Cronus isn't he? He's gonna steal the spotlight as my favorite all over again! I don't have much to say about this episode besides the fact that I really loved it. I don't think the Proto Bakusou Bike Gashat is really that weird though. Some games change a LOT during development after all!

Yeah he has to be. My guess is that he actually was programmed to be evil and Emu reprogramming worked but he's just playing Cronus now. I remembered Cronus said something to Hiiro about changing the consciousness of those who were stuck as data when they brought Saki back. So I really think Kiriya wasn't faking it at the start but now he has to be. if he did this out of his own free will then he wouldn't join their side later on like he does in the movie.

But the thing is....Kuroto's still not really a "good" guy. Sure, he's an ally to our main cast, but he's still just as egomaniacal and crazy as he was before; the other Riders were just able to appeal to his personality to gain his allegiance. His reasons for joining up with Emu and gang are still inherently selfish ("Kamen Rider Chronicle and Poppy are my creations, and nobody messes with them" or "I want payback against the guy that beat me"). Hell, just last episode, he was willing to let Hiiro's dad die just to hide information from Pallad and Graphite about Gemdeus.

He's by no means a noble character (yet).

Honestly, I thought this episode felt like a step down from last week's. Kiriya's betrayal means a lot less after Hiiro's emotional betrayal, especially since it's pretty obvious Kiriya isn't really on Elder Dan's side.

Hey, Excite Subs? Love the work, keep it up, but if you fabricating plot points through mistranslations is the price I pay for the episode releasing early, I'd rather just wait a couple extra days. All Emu said there was "Dan Masamune must have programmed Kiriya to act like a different person to use him as a pawn". This should be glaringly obvious simply from watching the episode, given the whole back half is about trying to Re-Reprogram Kiriya back to normal.

Anyway, loved the episode:

- Emu got tired of being the world's punching bag and punched back, which was going to be my (seemingly now obligatory) opening picture, followed by a joke about him finally snapping after all the s*** he's been through, but alas, there wasn't a good frame for it, so instead you get whining about fansubs.

- Kiriya-san ain't no dang traitor! No way no how! Unlike Hiiro his behavior throughout this episode is WAY too glaringly out of character for this to be legit. I mean, a black coat? Come on, that's so on the nose he probably went out and bought it specifically because he thought it'd be hilarious. The only shred of doubt here is that Emu, unlike Kiriya, hasn't been known to give performances that convincing. Unless you count that time he tricked the other Riders into fighting him so they could all use Drago Knight Hunter Z to fight Graphite. Or that time he shoved a gun to his chest and told Poppy to pull the trigger since she's just an evil Bugster. Huh.

- Speaking of which, can I just reiterate how much Emu has been back on track lately? This isn't specific to this episode but he's successfully combined his early show nigh-invincible self and his second quarter misery magnet self into a character who has this compelling sense of gumption to him. He's like Kouta, except instead of just saying how much he'll never give up, he actually does it.

- I guess we have an opening narration now? That's something, I guess. It's like the actual show is so consistent and planned out they had to balance it out by constantly messing with the intro.

- Also I've been noticing the past couple weeks that the actors aren't credited as "Kamen Rider (so and so)" if they don't actually transform that week, so I'm just sitting there going, "oh hey, no Brave this week! Lame!". It's like the actual show is so full of twists and turns they had to balance it out by spoiling the episodes in the intro.

- Although the episode title is also completely misleading. Or is it?!

Good guy is perhaps stretching it. He is still a crazy, petty asshole but it just seems like the group accepted him way too quickly, especially after all the stuff he has done.

I mean, we had a whole episode centered around the group not wanting Dan around, which is fine enough.


I'd prefer we don't go into Faiz territory where everybody's just being really petty when there's countless other things going on that need to be dealt with.

I guess they changed the script in the middle of first Arc??

, im guess the actual story for Ex Aid, Kiriya is not dead, Kiriya still using white jacket as Coroner, Genm too, there is no Chronos because Dan Masamune still in the jail,

oh wait, that is the movie lol

Great episode, Sakis condition is very creepy and Kiriyas return was great.
