These two episodes were pretty meh for me.Coming off of the Mayu/Medusa arc aside,there just wasn't much here.

The one thing I like about "power-up get" episodes is that the hero overcomes something or the upgrade comes at some kind of cost.Here,Kousuke didn't really work for Hyper.At any point in the episodes,he could have easily just plugged Hyper into the Driver and used it.I'll say that I DO like Hyper.The colors work for me and if that thing about the design being Pharaoh-based is true,then I'm totally into it.Kinda wish it was called Beast Mirage though,just so they didn't reuse Hyper.And tassel whips are freaking awesome.

The Gate's story was pretty uninteresting,I feel like I saw this in another series not too long ago.This whole episode-arc felt entirely skippable.Hopefully something really cool will come out of Legion,most likely the lead up to Infinity.I just felt completely uninterested during these eps.
