You know, between Sento running around in a shiny white suit giving dramatic speeches every five seconds, Grease struggling to have true relevance, the occasionally questionable pacing and plotting decisions, and the way I haven't seen a motorbike anywhere in ages, Build's final stretch is seriously starting to remind me of Ghost's.

Still, this episode was pretty solid. Gentoku's finally himself again, and I like that there's an actual narrative backbone here with him and Sento, you know, doubting their legacies, only to get their resolve back at the end. With the overarching plot going bats*** insane lately I appreciate when the episodes have a bit of structure to them.

I have a feeling Build will start pulling itself together next week but we'll see.

Oh, and speaking of insane bats, am I the only one who likes Mad Rogue? I mean, I don't love him, and he's a glorified goon, but his character seems straightforward enough, and is more fun than if the other Riders were just fighting random robots who don't talk or not-quite-beating Evol constantly. I know a lot of you have lost faith in Build lately, but it's not like they put a new Rider in the show for no reason.
