Yeah, Daiji’s plot is widely considered the worst storyline in the series, due to its length and how it requires Daiji to act like a moron in order to keep going, with him giving about 5 different reasons as to why he?s doing this. Even Wataru Hyuuga (the actor playing Daiji) felt it made no sense, given that it required Daiji to ignore perfectly good advice in order to work.

As for the episode itself, it was divisive as ever, but one guy I’ve followed for years (and cited on the matter of Hibiki’s second half) thought of a few reasons why this episode was better than the last few.



But in general, this was the shape of the fandom at this point.



And over in Donbros (hilariously, one of these two was revealed to have a split personality with their own base form using the same device as the main one. Though the arc that results goes in the opposite direction to Daiji’s)



I don?t really have anything to say for this next picture, other than maybe “lol”.



And ironically, this guy was looking forward to this scene from the promo shot of angry Hiromi glaring at George.



And now, the main attraction.

George: Hey, hey, hey! Yo, George Karizaki here. With everyone else out doing their own battles, it’s up to me and…

Hiromi: FENIX former captain Hiromi Kadota…

George: To handle this week’s Stamp Navi. So then, let?s get on with discussing this Vistamp.

Hedgehog!

Prickling! Sharp! Hedgehog! Sharp Go!

Hiromi: We haven’t had an opportunity to test this out in the field yet, but the intention was to have a rapid firing attack that can cause damage with every hit.*

George: And the Legend I based this on is… this one.

Desire Driver: Kiva!

Wataru: Henshin!

George: Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru Kurenai. The result of the affair between the great man Otoya Kurenai and the Fangire Queen Maya 22 years earlier, he was able to use his royal blood, energised by the venom of Kivat-Bat III and the Imperial Dragon Tatsulot, to become Kamen Rider Kiva to battle the Fangires praying on humanity.

Kivat: Alright! Kivatte Go!

Hiromi: Wow, great quality on the sound, Karizaki. It sounds like Kivat is here and not part of the video.

George: He isn’t part of the video.

(Suddenly, Kivat and Tatsulot fly in, slapping George in the face as they do so)

Kivat: Everyone, did you know? There are 13 different Demon Races inhabiting this Earth. Humans, Fangires and Kivats are just three of them, along with the Wolfen, Merman and Franken Races that empower Kiva’s incomplete form.

Tatsulot: Nice to know. I?m not technically part of any of them myself, but I do have an important role nonetheless.

Hiromi: You? how did you get in here?

Kivat: We hope you enjoy the next instalment. Be sure to WAKE UP!

Tatsulot: Tension Fortissimo!

* Once again, there is nothing canon to back this up. I just guessed based on the usual abilities Hedgehog characters are shown to have in Toku (which seem to be the result of confusing them with Porcupines)
