And that?s half the reason he can activate the Geiz Revive power-up, the need to be the hero that he should?ve been months ago. But the other half is the part of him that sees the wreckage of Sougo?s (and Hiryuu?s) life and feels the blood on his hands. That bus was destroyed because someone was afraid of what Sougo might become in the future. Every battle Sougo?s been in is because someone wanted him dead, all for actions he might never even take, given the chance. Sougo might be a hero, if the world weren?t trying to kill him for being a villain. A fight now, between Zi-O II and Geiz Revive, will at least settle things. If Geiz wins, the future is saved. If Zi-O wins, then maybe Sougo can be the good king that no one else believed in. Either way, the stress of indecision is just about gone.

That's the tragedy of this conflict between the two timelines. Sougo and Geiz don't want to fight each other. Even though they trust each other now, the bus incident shows Geiz that inaction can be just as dangerous as the wrong action. Despite his doubt, he has to push himself to do something. He's not fighting Zi-O out of intense hatred anymore, but out of an obligation he feels he needs to fulfill for the sake of a better future, since destiny says he's the only one who can. This leaves Sougo out of the loop about everything that's happening, as both his comrades are now trying to kill him for reasons nobody really understands. I'll talk more about the bus incident later, since there's still a surprising secret about that.

I think Geiz Revive might be a reference to Sanagiman and Inazuman, that classic Ishinomori hero who got a modern counterpart in Movie War Ultimatum, my favorite Movie War of all time. The tanky orange/brown form that opens up to reveal the speed type blue form. I love speed types such as Kabuto and Build RabbitRabbit, so of course I think Geiz Revive Typhoon is awesome! The blue looks good on Geiz. I don't care for Fury, but considering Shirakura's explanation that Androzani mentioned, my headcanon is that Geiz needs to alternate between Typhoon and Fury to regulate the side effects of time compression/expansion on his body.

The Zikan Jaclaw is a cool weapon as well and I like how Geiz's weapons in general are more varied than Zi-O using a sword or gun all the time.

There's just a slight problem with the DX Geiz Revive Ridewatch that I found out from a review I watched. Those small magnetic balls are so clingy!

I'm glad it happened this way, since it makes the real final boss all the more intimidating!

No matter the timeline, Woz loves to IWAE!
