So to start with, this was an episode I gelled slightly with…

Quote:

Episode 4: This is probably the best episode so far. It answers some questions as to why the Vistamps incorporate those 10 specific Riders, why the Deadmans are going around stamping people (though it does pose the question of why the captain’s tried to kill him in the first episode) and what Julio and Olteca actually are. We also get a hint at some stakes, with Ikki’s picture going the way of Marty McFly’s. My main gripe is that in this week’s victim conflict, neither side came off as particularly sympathetic. The mum is forcing one daughter into a career at a young age, while spurning her other one, while said other one is willingly collaborating with a cult dedicated to destroying humanity. Though at least they didn’t shoehorn in a scene where they forgive each other.

Speaking of what Olteca and Julio are, the designer confirmed that the whole idea behind the Phase 2 Deadmans is that they look like a different animal to what the stated motif is, as a reference to the Judeo-Christian devil, who is supposed to be a lion, but resembles a goat.

And here we go.

Ikki: It’s Ikki’s…

Vice: And Vice’s…

Both: Stamp Navi!

Ikki: And today’s stamp is this one!

Ptera!

Updraft! First Class! Pterosaur! Ptera! Flying by! Complete!

Ikki: This stamp allows Vice to transform into Rider Machine Vice. This allows us to fly high and move across vast distances easily.

Vice: So, you can finally call yourself a Kamen Rider. As for me, I’m stuck as a guy with no mask or ride.

George: No-one cares. Let’s talk about today’s Legend.

Desire Driver: Faiz!

Standing By!

Takumi: Henshin!

Complete!

George: Kamen Rider Faiz, one of three belts created by Smart Brain to protect the king of their own genetic successor to humanity, the Orpheus Enoch, or Orphnoch. The main user was a Wolf Orphnoch, Takumi Inui. Though he had no dreams of his own, he fought to protect those of others.

(Vice is now being handed tissues by Auto Vajin)

Vice: I know man, it’s just so painful.

Ikki: We hope you enjoy the next instalment.
