Wizard Episode 10: "National Security Agency Section Zero" Discussion
 

Wow. Did Kamen Rider Wizard lose steam?

It would be boring if he just used Flame Dragon every ep to win by Kabuto-style "god mode"-ing everyone, but the preview looks like he's going to still use Water and Air. Plus, he used land this episode, albeit briefly.

Looks like they're starting a new arc with this National Security guy and teasing that Wajima might make a new ring. Still wonder how they'll use it without another belt . . .

Over-time was a long time in uploading both the raw and the subbed versions. Not many people have had a chance to see it yet.

EDIT: I just watched it. Really good episode! Some thoughts:

- Phoenix's resurrection scene was spooky! Speaking of which:

- The episode felt a bit more stylish than normal(the Gnome two-parter was as well), but the staging of the dramatic(talking) scenes was off. They seem to be a bit of an afterthought in this series.

- The ring Kizaki wants made, that's for Beast right? So he should be showing up in a few more episodes, after the next movie comes out. Or is it for Hurricane Dragon?

- I enjoy this show much more when the plot moves forward. Every revelation makes the premise more interesting, which is why it's a bit of a bummer when it's a straight MOW two parter like they've done too often already.

- Rinko is the least assertive police officer in history. How'd she ever earn her pant-suit?!

- I thought the Donut Duo would be up to some hijinks in the background in that one scene, but they just seemed to be over-elaborately giving a girl her donut.

- Didn't we hear last episode that Haruto shouldn't use Flame Dragon too much? He slapped that ring on pretty quickly against Gargoyle!

I think that the Ring that Kizaki is having Wajima make is the Beast Ring, and they already have the Beast Belt ready, and Kizaki will become Beast. Or maybe it's just for Hurricane Dragon, but I have no idea why Kizaki of all people would want that made.

Great episode.

-Glad to see them get back to the police plot.

-Kizaki seems to be this show's Hojo! I love characters like this because they are meant to be hated. How I hope this guy sticks around for awhile. He only needs to become a Rider for one episode and then run away while pissing in his pants and the reincarnation Hojo will be complete.

-Gargoyle is all kinds of awesome. Him turning to stone was a fun visual.

-I like the Haruto activately hunts Phantoms. They've touched upon it before, but it's still nice to see.

-Seems Dragon mode enables Wizard to use spells on his sword/gun that he couldn't before. Could be wrong. Eitherway, big sword is big.

-I like that we got a flashback to see Phoenix rise from literal ashes.

-This episode had very little Shunpei and that's a good thing. :D

I've only seen it raw so when I saw a green magic stone I thought Hurricane Dragon Ring. I need to see the sub before commenting any more on this episode.

I think that if Haruto keeps using Flame Dragon, it would allow the phantom in him to gather strength and be able to fight to control Haruto.

Kizaki kinda looks like Hiro Nakamura of Heroes.

That was a good episode. I knew Phoenix would come back, I'm wondering if there's a hitch with his ability to revive himself though. Haruto seems to be a bit cocky based on his recent victory, I can see that coming back to bite him in the ass later.
Maybe it's because I've started watching Agito recently, but Kizaki is nowhere near as bad as Hojou. Based on next week's preview it looks like he may even come around a bit.

Good episode, Haruto seems pretty confident in his ability to use the dragon powers without losing it so I wonder if that'll come back to bite him in the ass sooner than I thought it would. Probably around the time All Dragon style debuts I guess.

I think its more likely to be hurricane dragon, since I'm sure I read that's the next thing to pop up on the show.

I thought that too.
