Gee. The Belt tells us that Proto-Drive died, and then recognizes Chase. It's like this series is one gigantic mystery!

Anyway, fine episode. Vegas's failed finisher was funny, fight was nice, and Chase is pretty cool (Not a big fan of his mash up design, but I guess it's to make it clear that he's not a Rider). Anyway, I'm not super big on Drive getting so many power ups after just 3 episodes, but I guess they're going the Fourze route.

The only real things that I'm not enjoying is the "He's in gear" thing. I get that it's Shinnosuke making a large realization over the current case, but the fact that someone has to pop in and say "He's in gear now!" is what kills it. That and the editing that goes into the special divisions force to make their scenes more comedic is just grating.
