Black RX 17

The finale to the Princess Garonia arc. This was a really, really fun series of episodes and probably one of the best stories I've seen based around granting a Rider new forms (even if the mechanics that led to those new forms were kinda dodgy). Bio Rider debuted this time and he really is every bit as overpowered as I've always heard (Robo Rider has a gun, Bio Rider can turn into plasma, redirect energy attacks, and some attacks just pass right through him). I like split between the two forms: Robo Rider is like the extreme extension of his cyborg half while Bio Rider is an extreme of his human half. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but I like the idea.

Also, this episode snuck in a cameo by the instrumental version of Long Long Ago, 20th Century and it was fantastic to hear that again. Nothing against RX's ending theme, but Black's soundtrack is unmatched.
