Kamen Rider Build Episode 28- "The Genius Arrives With A Tank!" Discussion
 

Sento' unleashes his latest power against Rogue- and Rogue is able to counter his attack! How did he learn the secret of Build's powers???

I can wait, I can wait, I can wait.....



I can't wait. *click*

edit:

Pretty cool episode. I'll enjoy it more when I can get the nuance of the conversations. But the fighting was cool, and Tank/Tank was pretty neat. Some interesting twists and turns even without understanding the dialogue. Sento is tricky for sure.


...they keep showing Grease holding the three Dog-Tags but I thought he'd buried them at the wall a couple/few episodes ago?

If I remember, there are 2 tags for each

yeah but I thought he only had one of each. (yeah there are always two tags. One that gets filed and one that stays with The Body.)

I guess I'll pay more attention when I watch the show again. Lately I've felt like rewatching the first half of the series again just because I'm enjoying it. It feels like the show has come so far in 28 episodes from where it started.

There were 2 tags each. But he buried one of each.

im just glad that he didn't do the beaten and then later revenge. Instead he knew and planned for this. Im happy to see them learning from things and adapting. I think this may be one of my all time favorite series right along wizard decade and w.

Gotta say, I like how this system their using to counter RabbitRabbit is also in place for other Best Matches. I also find it funny how as long as you have enough data on a form, you just need to find the right bottle to completely disable it like with Diamond.

Also while subs aren't up I will say one thing I adored was how this entire fight went through the night and then the ending happened at dawn. It's stuff like this and Graphite's fight last year that are cool to see due to the passing of time.

I wish it was more on reading Build's movements rather than just spam the diamond bottle even though it make sense since Rogue itself is like unbreakable since his debut. It would be more interesting if he used other bottle to counter rabbitrabbit in his driver or transteam gun.

Chinese KRL subtitles up 2 hours ago. Well, this episode give some explanations about previous episodes mysteries :
1) Sawa was blackmailed by Nanba. In order to exchange for Nabeshima's family safety, she need get data about Sento upgrade form, which is part of Sento plan to let Kazumi have plenty time to save Nabeshima's family. Good thing is, she finally betray NH which wants her death.
2) Well, I feel like Tank Tank form is more powerful than Rabbit Rabbit form and Tank Tank Build Up style is flashier than Rabbit Rabbit form.Most funny thing is he himself becomes tank.
3) Seito now is under rule of NH now. Noooooooooooo
Next episode sure have more mysteries need to catch up. Anyway, who is BellNaga ?

B/Velnage ?
pretty sure it will be the name of whoever is controlling Misora.

And considering the "nage" part is pronounced like "naje" it reminds me of the word "carnage" somehow.
Maybe she will be evil and Evolt/BloodStalk (and whoever else is on that side) are in fact good guys ?

its possible that stalk is doing the old i know whats coming and how to stop it but im going to need more power than we have to do it so all this is to create the riders needed to beat something far worse

That's my feeling, because Stalk, even if he turns everything to chaos, isn't particularly evil, the only thing he cares about is the Hazard Level of each Rider and the Pandora Box to some extent.

He still is an enigma to me.

I fail to see what makes Wizard or Decade deserving of such a position, especially when compared to Build. Build has done more with its material, with better ideas, than either of those two shows together.

What is the criteria for being evil, now? I'm sure Nanba/Faust, Gentoku or any of the heads of state don't consider themselves evil either.

Maybe some of what Stark has done ended up brining about something good, but that doesn't make him good; any more than Melkor/Morgoth was good just because Eru's power ended up being manifesting even more so because of him.

Well considering he's successfully managed to manipulate the entire country to go to war and how his end goal's still unknown for now I think we can say he's evil

Loving this show so much. The part that I’m really enjoying is that it continually surprises me: I have no idea where all of this is going at this point.

There’s also the time he killed a dude, gave another dude amnesia and a new face, and framed a third dude for the murder.

lol i can totally see this happening.

maybe Soichi is actually being manipulated by the Box to drive humanity to evolve to fight an unknown enemy which wiped out the Martians. Seeing the riders not advancing fast enough, he used the Evol Driver to become a last boss.

As Evol, he pushes Build to make Genius and Rogue to become Mad Rogue. Together the duo, defeated Evol killing him marking they are ready for the final battle...or something like that. xD
(Evol debuts before or after Genius???)

Anyways cool episode.

Are you guys finding the subs? They haven't popped up on Kissasian yet.

I pretty sure Evol debut is appeared before Build Genius Form
I think Evol is overpowered final Rider to be appeared in series just like Cronus and Gold Drive.

Yeah they have, I saw the episode subbed about 8 hours ago
True but that MIGHT be considered a 'doing the wrong thing for the right reason' if Stalk's goal ended up being good. Manipulating the entire country to have a war with casualties can't be justified at all

The one thing I liked about this episode was how they bring back post elements such as the Nabeshimas, Stalk's camouflage ability and the Diamond Fullbottle.

Another thing I liked was how they handle Sawa's betrayal of Nanba and her justification for doing so.

Also, can we just marvel at the fact that Kiryuu Sento isn't just a scientific genius? He has proven to be good at manipulating and fooling people time and time again, just like Hojou Emu/Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. I like protagonists like him far better than powerhouses, like Tenkuuji Takeru/Kamen Rider Ghost or Kazuraba Kouta/Kamen Rider Gaim, who merely plow through their problems.

Finally, is it just me or are nearly all third forms of Main Kamen Riders aesthetically better looking than their final forms? RabbitRabbit/TankTank form (Build), Grateful Ghost form (Ghost), Kachidoki Arms form (Gaim), and Tajadol Form (OOO) come to mind. All of them look better than the final forms.

Everybody was hating on Sawa just recently. Haters begone!!

This show is just too insanely good for me to even process. I was kind of confused last week how they were going to get a full episode out of the remainder of Build and Rogue fighting, but they really packed this one to the brim.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Smart protagonists are getting rare these days.

Now I'm really excited for Ryuga's Magma Knuckle form.

I liked wizard it wasn't bad and i liked the themes, i don't see why there is so much hate for it i just like it. Also decade was interesting and fun and did something interesting it could have been better but it was fun to see the riders interacting and the new spins.

I also happen to like Kiva. My point is each did something i really liked and this one does too i really like how its going.

There where things in some series i hated some i really liked. But over all its just how i feel ok. If you don't like it its fine but that just how i feel about it.


As for stalk its hard to say whats going to happen he could be doing this for the greater good or he could be the big bad and screwing everyone over. I just can't tell and there isn't any real clues we can use to figure it out because he keeps playing each side off each other. plus no ones been able to out play him. in every situation he has been completely in control and i don't think he has ever fought seriously. Im betting hes holding back way more power than any of the others and that he could walk right through them if he wanted.

I'm surprised how well they managed to explain delaying TankTank's debut and stretching the fight for the entire episode with just the simple logical reveal that Sento was purposefully extending the fight to buy time for Grease to rescue the Nabeshima family. I know this gets said a lot, but it still amazes me to see Build's writing to still be consistently good this far into the series.

I also love how the TankTank debuted with the armor pieces just casually rolling in and blasting away at Rogue.

That finisher, that amazing finisher ! Kamen Rider Build BASTION PEW PEW !

I almost want to be salty that Sawa got redeemed, but it was done in such a clever way that I can't be! I was expecting Sento to have been keeping TankTank a secret from Sawa too, but it was nice to see them work together on this and it felt appropriate. Oh man am I stoked for whatever Namba and Blood Stalk are scheming though, it looks like it will be crazy. Blood Stalk once again makes we wonder about the identities of various characters in this show. I have a feeling that at least one major character we know is not who they claim to be.

Have we seen Stalk and Gentoku's dad at the same time?

TankTank reminds me so much of Kamen Rider Birth that I squealed when I saw it.

I'm not sure what there is to say that hasn't already. The flow and pacing have been outstanding. I remember last season when we weren't sure how the next story would be better than Ex-Aid. If this season is an indicator of what we get for the future I'm a happy otaku.

not at the same time but at one point stalk did use that wipe thing to stab him from the next room over, you have a point he could have pulled a switch while he was sick but i don't know if he could move between point a and b fast enough as it would be unlikely but i won't ignore the possibility

Heard there's going to be a updated opening next week that includes sawa and grease. Looks like it's going to be a separator that divides the the series in to two halves. I'm curious to see if there's more Martians, but probably won't be an overlord invasion like Gaim, but I maybe wrong. Terraforming and colonizing were some of the early theories.

Yeah. I was really scared about Build following Ex-Aid because the expectations are typically pretty high following a great season (something Drive suffered from after following up Gaim before managing to have a really strong second-half), but man, Build is just so competently made and well-written.

Build has also done something that's pretty damn difficult. It manages to mix-in genuinely funny moments with really dramatic ones and somehow....it works. Part of it may have to do with the fact that they've strayed away from having characters whose sole purpose in the story is to provide laughs. Banjo is the closest we have to something like that, but he's an actual character. Thank goodness, because I do not miss the days when we had Onari and Drive's team (in the first half before they became mostly likable characters).

Ive actually didn't like gaim or exaid that much i felt they where ok but thats the same with drive and ghost ok not great builds the first one in a while ive really liked

I think the fact that toku fans of all tastes largely agree that Build is great is what is really impressive to me.
