I’d say some reasons why I didn’t like the whole thing partially because of this one episode, but you basically did it for me. The idea that Yukimi’s been date-raping an amnesiac for 25 years… no, just no. And also, how the hell does their fake marriage hold up to scrutiny, given there’s no wedding rings, no wedding photos, no certificate… Oh, and I don’t like how abruptly Yukimi fell in love with a guy after one day, in which she was kidnapped and nearly killed just for association with him.

And as for the overall Vail thing… yeah, I’m not sure why this was a necessary thing. Most of it is basically reiterating what was said in the show, and what wasn’t didn’t have much substance to it. And the budget clearly hampered whatever vision was behind all of this, given we only get one monster costume (aside from making Vail the Carnage to Vice’s Venom), the montage of Junpei’s suffering looks less like a montage, and more like one fight that was very sloppily edited.

Also, despite the sound mixer’s intentions, using bull noises instead of Kiai does not make the combatants seem demonic. It just kills the mood.

And on a lighter note, more casting trivia, besides Yukimi being Chameleon Green, leaving us 5 for 5 on Sentai ladies in Revice.



The guy playing Junpei later appeared in the Futo PI stageshow as Shotaro (they’ve got a variant of the CSM Joker Memory with his dialogue coming with the DVD)

The guy playing Karizaki is Daichi, the protagonist of Ultraman X.

And the guy playing Arigiyama (a name I only remember thanks to TV Tropes labelling him the third most evil character in Revice, after Olteca and Vail, and someone on Twitter being surprised he pulled out a gun instead of a Driver) is the Douji/Black Douji/Super Douji/the Man/voice of the Hime from Hibiki, Bishop from Kiva and Legion from Wizard.
