Holy shit, Cross-Z Magma is such an awesome looking form. Moreso than Cross-Z Charge, it looks like a natural progression of the Cross-Z base form. It also looks like we're going to see the base form again next episode. Thank goodness the show didn't decide to just totally drop it.


I also love that Banjo Ryuga's plotline is something that would usually be reserved for the main Rider, finding out that they have altered DNA and that's what allows their power level to constantly rise. This show does a really good job of making Cross-Z feel as important to the plot as Sento, whereas most seasons make you feel like the secondary Rider is just backup. Kazumi has kind of been out-of-focus with all this stuff going on between Sento and Banjo, but by no means does it feel like he's the awkward 3rd wheel.
