Hahahahaha. At the beginning there I was like..."hot damn! A night battle? At last? I don't think we've had one of these since episode 1 or something. And that wasn't even actually night iirc. Cool..." But then, nah, Great Eyezer can turn night to day. Why the hell not.

Such a damn shame the light up features of the base suits for Ghost and Specter only saw use like, once each. Oh well.

But at least there's GENM, and damn! Is that GENM's theme? Cause it kicks ass. We haven't heard too much of it, but Ex-Aid's soundtrack is sounding pretty damn solid so far. And seeing him in action was just pretty cool in general. A cool little tease for how all this stuff (probably won't) work in the actual show. I'm particularly interested in how he used the Kimewaza Slot Holder to bring out the Sports Gamer. Can he just do that cause it's a bike? Will the Riders be able to bring out all the Gamers to aid them in battle independent of their Level 3 forms? Things to think about.

Also, I...really do not even see how the Sports Gamer can fold or turn in any way into the armor shown on the catalog for the Sports Action Gamer form. That's gonna be some serious CG magic, because no matter how I look at it that's just a regular bike.

Hype is real for Eguzeido tho.


...Honestly, the Eyezer suit was cool enough. Was there any real need to turn it into a lumpy giant CG monster? Friggin meh, honestly.

Javert loves Alain confirmed.

I know I'm not the first to say this but I am glad that all of the Mugen finishers are being used. I wasn't expecting the Love Bomber to show up this far into the show, as I apparently never factored in that they could go for the familial love thing as the trigger. The mom reveal is a little underwhelming, but satisfactory enough I suppose. Could have had a worse result (that was the least convincing fake baby bump ive ever seen though).

Wow what even was that Tutankhamen voice? That...was not what he sounded like the other times he's spoken. wth lmao.

Wow, he actually got a running start for that Rider kick. That's so absurdly rare these days, but it makes such a big difference. Pretty decent kick.

Wait...so...Edith's capsule was just laying around in the temple this whole time? And somehow nobody noticed? What the even how? Like it's not even hidden it's just there in some room.

I really never saw it coming but Yurusen being a cat is perhaps the best possible explanation we could have ever gotten.

I think maybe they should have emphasized or played up the "can't eat food" aspect of Takeru's ghostly existence throughout the show. They made a gag of it with the Ganma a few times, and there was Alain and Javert's whole ordeal with discovering that they need food, but I don't think Takeru himself ever made any reference to missing food up until the scene with the Great Eye, yet they played it up so much after that. I see what they were going for but after a year of it not being a thing making it a big thing just comes across a little weird. But that's just me.

All in all...it was Ghost. It was a pretty decent finale for the show, and...I mean, yeah. It did its job.
