I like this show so far. I think the characters work (even though the sleepy girl gets on my nerves for some reason) and the setups are interesting. Not unique, but interesting.

I have a few issues with it though, one of them being how we had both "Best Match" and random transformations yet the show never specified why Sentou should use one over the other. Like, he's happy to find another one with Gorillamond, but why? He used Hedgehog/Tank to beat the Smash in episode 1 no problem.

He meets Night Rouge, an opponent he should be wary of, yet chooses Hedgehog/Tank as his form to fight him.

Granted, Night Rouge does say that Build won't beat him with random bottles, but why? Again, Build uses them without any problem.

If only they had Sentou drop one line about how non-Best Match transformations are dangerous and/or unstable and if the show made an effort to showcase that, like: After Build beats the Gorilla Smash he doesn't just turn back into Rabbit/Tank because he wants to but because he needs to. Have Hedgehog/Tank become unstable similar to how Kamen Rider Double became unstable that one time.

I'm really baffled how the show made no attempt to tell us this stuff when it needed less than 10 seconds to do so. In fact, you need no explanation for now at all, just show us how the forms become unstable and have Sentou talk about it later.

As it is now the show basically tells me that it doesn't matter if there's a best match or not, they were just too lazy to give every possible form a unique jingle.

To be fair, they say "G/D", until he tries out both Gorilla and Diamond together it could be Gorilla and "Duranium" or "Goldfish" and Diamond for all he knows.

Don't think that will hapen, simply because it's pretty much impossible to go downhill from this... thing.
