[Kamen Rider Lucha]

Great episode!

And thank god, those cloaked dudes got monster suits. I hate seeing clearly-human people in the daikaiju fights -- it makes suspending disbelief impossible. The scale of the suits becomes clear, and it just looks like a bunch of dudes running around on a miniature set.

Why did the production team wait to debut these monster forms? It has to be related to budget issues, right? Since episode 37 we've been presented a string of recycled monster suits, reused Gabrincho of Music suits, slightly modified mooks as main monsters, and "ultra-powerful" Deboss generals that are just guys dressed in shitty Halloween capes... what other reason could there be?

Well, at least we got 3 new (and awesome, per usual for this series) full monster suits this episode. Hopefully means they were saving all their money for an all-out crazy final 3 episodes.
