Oh hey, it's Climax Form. Honestly thought we had already seen the last of it.

Good finale to this Yuuto arc; I really love the visuals of the first Zero Form transformation, even if I don't like the red suit all that much.

Kai is still really annoying and nonthreatening. I kinda get the sense that there was a lot more to this episode than made it into TVN's script, though. I think this was probably one of those times when they made some translation and/or basic English grammar errors.

Also, this week saw the debut of a new opening theme (kinda). From this point onwards the show uses versions of Climax Jump sung by the Imagin voice actors instead of the original version. This was only the fifth Rider series to alter its opening theme song (arguably sixth - but Kuuga just switched which verse of the song ran over the opening credits) and it hasn't been done again since. I'm not a big fan of the cover versions - I think the original is still the definitive.
