Kamen Rider Build Episode 9- "The Trap Of Project Build" Discussion
 

The enigmatic Katsuragi has been revealed as the creator of the Build Driver. If the secrets of this invention were to leak outside to the other corners of the Sky Wall, war could break out between the sectors.

Sento must figure out his role in the Build plan...

two words : mind blown
Amazing ending. And now is the time for episodes to take a break. Damn.


- SmaphoWolf actually already exists somewhere

- Outside scene with Misora and Banjo was very nice

- the 2 "random" scientists from 2 weeks ago are not so random after all. They're part of Faust.

- WTF ! Sawa is the "ally turning evil" Misora actress talked about. I kinda prefer it like that instead of Banjo or Souichi to be honest. But I don't know how it can play an active part now.

- Katsuragi not really dead, and next week's preview kinda points at him being BloodStark. Theories kinda becoming true little by little.

I have decided to drop Build now for one reason. Katsuragi says "MUGEN NO KANOSEI"

I knew Sawa was working for Faust. Whenever she got a lead on something and tells the gang, Faust were right behind them.

The new cast member introduced in this episode, Nanba Juusaburou, is played by Hamada Akira, who portrayed Mister Titan in Kamen Rider Stronger. It's always cool to see actors come back to the franchise, and man is this one a throwback. Apparently he also had a minor role in OOO, but I haven't seen that. But yeah. He's Titan.

Also re: this episode: kinda sad that Sento already knew LionCleaner was a Best Match because I was expecting some good comedy out of the scene where he figured that out.

And Sawa is evil, I guess. Honestly, I've been saying things to that effect in a joking matter pretty much since the show started, and the fact that she did actually turn out to be working for the bad guys just amuses me immensely. While I think she was pretty much the only real choice for what Misora's actress leaked about an ally turning out to be a enemy, it still caught me slightly off-guard.

probably late to the party but I just realized that Banjo disguise is literally Kisaragi Gentaro

Makes sense since she did not take part in the openings with the heroes meaning she might be leaving the show soon. The actress plays a lot of toku roles starting from the Golden Accel movie. Either the owner is Blood Stalk or the scientist's body with the mind of someone else since the writings implies the scientist's mind is in Sentou now.

That outside scene with Ryuuga and Misora was nice. It was cooler to see them as delinquents.

And oh my god does Faust have everything covered. Gentoku doesn't leave a lot to chance, does he?

And now I'm confused. Is BloodStalk Katsuragi the Scientist or is he Isurugi the Cafe-owner? The preview suggests the former yet the theories here support the latter.

I'm guessing that BloodStalk really is the Scientist if only because I don't want the cafe owner to be the villain. That would still leave a few things unexplained such as Satou Taro gaining intelligence after Katsuragi's death (where did that boost come from if not Katsuragi?), BloodStalk always being one step ahead of Build (he probably is the owner that's why he knows Sento's every move) and Katsuragi's various back-up plans (If he was BloodStalk, he would know where he hid the USB in episode 8). It is possible for Katsuragi to be BloodStalk after all but they would have to show a lot more for it to make sense.

No offense, but that is like one of the dumbest reasons I've ever heard of for dropping a season. :lolol
