You know what's not funny?

Cards. Riders that depend on a piece of freaking paper for their powers. I knew this would happen sooner or later. Ryuki lost his contract because Gai took his card.

Okay, this is beyond stupid in many colourful ways.

One, it's heavily implied that once you make a contract, that's it. You and that monster are bonded for life. So, what's to stop a rider from just tossing away their advent card to break the contract?

Two, he only has one? wait, I thought the deck had MULTIPLE copies? It's seriously five cards? What happens to the cards once used, how do you choose which ones you want when you draw them? How are they reused? Can you only use them once a fight? (I assume the deck "resets" after every transformation)

Three, he seriously can just take it? Dragredder doesn't, like, have a problem with that? The last episode very firmly established the monsters are the boss. Now, I know they can't speak, but doesn't Dragredder know Gai already has a contract? What, are he and the rhino gonna split Gai if he dies?

Four IT'S PAPER. God, I was kind of okay with it because the decks DIDN'T appear to be one set of cards, but this is just dumb. Why make these incredible abilities into cards? This is dumb, even dumber than when the Cockroach dopant stole W's memories. See, the W driver is a very experimental device, and W himself is pretty quick. Plus, the Roach dopant had super speed. This is just... why did Ryuki even hesitate? He was using his ADVENT, not his Final Vent. Dragredder wouldn't have killed Gai, just fought the rhino.

I'm not buying Zolda until I can afford him and Magnugiga.
