Well, Battle Hopper rescued him from Golgom. I don't know if that's shown in that eisode or the next. They're pretty much bros. Battle Hopper's like a big dog.

The thing that annoys me about Wizard's critics is that I'm the first to admit Wizard's problems, the filler, general poor pacing, boring villains, wasted upgrades, waste of side characters etc etc but you find these problems in basically...every other Toku series ever. Why are people so harsh on Wizard and yet happily gargle the cocks of OOO and Kuuga despite having all of Wizard's problems and some unique ones of their own?

I give it to you on OOO, it had some great characters but there is no way you can act like it had anything else over Wizard. Same with Kuuga, Godai is the same character throughout the whole series yet the fandom dubs him 'one of the greatest Riders of all time' but Haruto is boring?!?! Whether you like him or not he has at least had character arcs and growth.

I guess Wizard is too mainstream right now, give it ten years when it's no longer airing and people will be calling it 'The Greatest Rider Series of a Generation'

I know Battle Hopper rescued Kotaro but they haven't spent any other screentime together aside from Kotaro just shouting his name and using him for his Rider kick. And considering the show doesn't find the idea of a talking, sentient, regenerating motorcycle ridiculous I don't understand why they haven't shared more heart to heart scenes together. I love the concept, I just think it's poorly realised which is odd for Black because everything else usually gets all the time it needs to play out.
