I really....really....wish they would give Grease an upgrade other than twin breakers. He works his tail off.

I agree the lost bottle arc is just flat, as is Evol's inability to be anything more than a cookie cutter bad guy. Utsumi comes across as more maddening in his nature than Evol. Maybe because Chronos was so over the top I was expecting more?

Either way, I also had the thought of "Where's Vernage?" She's been absent for a while now.

Now that Daddy Build is on the scene.....my money is on him to be the ultimate bad of the series. Kind of a Drive/evil Belt scenario.

I have a strong feeling that the writer wrote the climax of the series way too soon. Ever since the war broke out, the stakes gets higher and higher with the mysteries of shouichi and Misora alter ego, but the reveal was kind of a letdown. The whole reintroduction of Sento's father came out of nowhere. I guess he's the one that made the new Evolt driver. Also, Mad Rogue is completely pointless and Utsumi is just a badly written character. The show is just buying time and stalling until the finale, which is ashame. Maybe there's production problem with filming the movie, which is why we're jamming in recolor fullbottle and the lost panel. It's like last year with Chronus, where the big bad became too powerful too early. It became a cat and mouse game. However, with build, Evolt just don't feel like destroying planets anymore in favor of the new narrative given to him by the writers. There's also a few retcon with regarding Faust and the fullbottle.
Like always, our expectations are High and rider series doesn't really like covering origin story that much or explain it in a good way.
