[Xtreme RX]

Another stellar episode!

Tons of fun with the interactions between Woz and Geiz. Interesting to learn that Woz was originally a spy who defected to Oma Zi-O's side as well. The fight scenes were very creative and it was good to see an organic reason for both Geiz and Sougo not to default to their super forms. The scene where they reach for the RideWatches only to pull out blank air and the following reaction was hilarious! Plus, seeing Diend transform again was a pleasure, along with his original powers of summoning Rider's to his side. Knight and Baron were a good combination, but it was a treat to see Accel and Birth use some of their special moves with the effects intact.

And of course, Kaitou is as sly as ever as he steals the RideWatches. It's cool to see him in cahoots with White Woz and I hope he'll interact with Tsukasa at some point. I laughed hard when I saw he had a "Neo-Invisible" card.

The Blade part of the tribute was minuscule in comparison but nostalgic on its own too. Seeing the original building and interior for Jacaranda and the photos of Amane and Hajime took me back. The scene where she quietly cleans the table after being told to forget about him is full of emotion. Her being Another Blade makes for an interesting conflict, and it's super cool that the story is now continuing the events of the original show rather than erasing it. Seeing Hajime and Kenzaki turning into Chalice and Blade respectively was awesome and I'm interested to see how they resolve the Joker plotline.

Zi-O Trinity is looking hilarious.
