[GrandComplete]

And now we've moved onto the territory of unable to get back the main rider to return. Many people were wondering how ZI-O would handle this and I gotta say with what were given I think the show made the most out of it.

Using a stand in actor and archival audio would definitly do the trick and at least in this one they actually bother explaning why Gentaro isn't in this tribute he's busy being a caring teacher trying to investiagte the missing girls via handing our missing poster!(that such a Gentaro thing to do.)

Quick note if anyone can answer but how does archival audio work? Like realistically speaking there was no way there getting every main Rider actor back for ZI-O was this planned in advance or do they pay the talent agency or whoever on case by case basis to use soundbites from past shows and whatnot.

Anyways back on track this episode has also the first instance of Armor swapping. All of the Rider Armor were all actually designed for ZI-O first before divying them up to Geiz and vice-versa. And I actually liked that Geiz just uses the Main Rider powers and not like secondary as you would probably expect him to. It makes him feel like he's also the main protagnist alongside Sougo.
