[Xtreme RX]

See, I don't see an episode like this as filler at all. It helps to develop the world that these characters inhabit, we get to see how Humagears are custom-ordered and used in a variety of jobs. And not only do we get important world-building, we get character development too. We see what kind of attitude Korenosuke took towards Humagear's, we get to understand why Jin is so child-like, and Izu makes her first step towards sentience by disobeying her commands to come to the decision that she she must help people regain their fiery passion.

We got a good usage of form changes and we even saw new gadgets with the Attache Shotgun. Plus Flaming Tiger looks amazing. The scene of it standing in the flames looked incredible, and Aruto accidentally burning himself with Vulcan laughing aside in-suit was absolutely hilarious. The comic-book style fight scene was really creative.

I also really like that the guests of the week are interesting characters all around too. First with the sushi chef in ep 3 and now with the manga artist. One of Ex-Aid's issues were that the guest felt irrelevant, but this time they are used to good extent.

Also that reveal at the end. Horobi considers Jin to be his son. What could this mean? Did he build Jin? I'm intrigued to learn more.

Next week, Kamen Rider Jin and Valkyrie Lightning Hornet!
