It shouldn't be a shock how consistently amazing Build is anymore, but I still find myself surprised every week at how much I enjoy this show. The writing is absolutely stellar and having the Sclash Driver present an inherent danger to whoever uses it is further proof of that. I've talked about this a million times but giving upgrades in Kamen Rider some kind of limitation is a win-win for everyone involved and they should just do it all the time. It helps the writer(s) keep things less cluttered, it makes the narratives more engaging for the viewer, and the whole forbidden fruit angle only serves to make Bandai's prospective customers want their toys all the more.
This isn't even the only cool thing about this episode (Sento's great as ever despite his meta complaining to Ryuuga, Grease left an excellent first impression), but I can't properly express how happy it makes me to see this stuff in these shows. They're even doing the same thing with Build's next upgrade, just in case it wasn't apparent how much this show gets it already. Just bring back the bike action and Rabbit Tank and I don't think I'd have a single thing left to complain about.
EDIT: Wait! I got so caught up in how great this episode was I forgot to mention that the music right after Grease transforms before the opening is inexplicably from Kyuranger! I don't know if that's a complaint per se, but it's definitely weird.
