Something I’ve noticed. You’ve started using the individual titles for episodes. Not complaining, just curious about the change.

-The sound design changes up with this episode, as MomoRyotaros, the Momotaro-possessed form of Ryotaro, drops the Momotaros VA from a lot of the performance in favor of Ryotaro’s actor just changing his voice. I massively prefer it. I didn’t mind it the other way (which still gets used for fight scenes and the like), but I love the confidence of the show trusting in the actor’s performance to sell the changing circumstances.

I also prefer this version of it. Sadly, it’s just a BTS mistake.

-There’s another dude on the DenLiner! He would not like a coffee to go! I’m assuming it’s the same guy we saw briefly at the end of Episode 2, but either way: certainly more to come on that thread.

Remember him. He’ll be important later.

-I 1000% do not care about the Airimirers. At least there’s only two of them now, hovering around a disinterested-but-polite Airi. Maybe in another couple episodes there’ll be zero!

These guys are another case of “more Sentai than Rider” in Den-O, in that they exist purely to let Ryotaro know about potential contractors with Imagin, compared to most Rider shows either having the hero stumble upon the monster by accident or actively searching for them. Sentai generally tends to have a character or plot device that alerts them to monster attacks in progress.

Anyway, enough preamble. Time for my regular feature, discussing the credits of the Chameleon Imagin’s VA (a bat and a chameleon. Where’ve I seen those motifs before?)
