Was excited enough for Geats that I watched KR live as it aired for the first time ever, and it did not disappoint! The action was really cool, and what I could understand of the story has me really interested.

- Geats himself, from what little we’ve seen, is a different main Rider from what we’ve had for a while, and I’m struggling to think of a comparison that’s really similar to what we saw in this episode. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of him, and what the dynamic between him and Tycoon is like once Keiwa is officially a Rider.

- There are some interesting elements to the Desire Grand Prix that I don’t think we knew about before now. Namely what’s piqued my interest most is how the game returns to the past at the end with only the Riders and the people running the game retaining full memory of what’s happened, and the idea that there’s many other Riders besides our major characters that we may never even see transformed onscreen.

- Anyone who placed their bets on Shiro as the first Rider death can collect their bragging rights at the exit, and a bonus too because he takes it to a whole new level by dying after only a few minutes of screentime and before the main Rider’s even transformed.
