[SPLIT LIP]

Episode 40 of Ryuki oh God seriously HOW THE HELL DID HE BREAK OUT?? Seriously, are those cops bad guys or something? How did that fucking breakout work?

Ouja is literally the worst thing to happen to this show. He is every single aspect of bad writing rolled into one horrible package.

Also Alternative's final vent may be the silliest thing since since Odin's middle-school play death. Protip to action directors everywhere: the main character spinning DOESN'T LOOK COOL. It looks dumb, like the Wonder Woman music is gonna start playing. Unless you're a drill or spinning vertically instead of horizontally, you're not cool, you're stupid. Especially if you're a cool guy with a final attack that's a rickety-looking dirtbike smaller than you are. Knight's Survive final may look dumb, but at least he, like, turns into a bullet. I'll believe he has some method of inflicting damage in that form. But Alternative? I just, damn that was dumb.

Tiger's still cool, as a villain, though. His hero philosophy is chilling and twisted. Why is THIS the phsychotic we get in the tail end instead of Ouja? God, I just can't get over that. That Tiger is the last ten-episodes guy and Ouja is a main character. And he calls Ouja the worst Rider and isn't a BIT intimidated. Has the show just been listening to me and is apologizing by giving me a worthwhile villain? AND Zolda was present (and charming as always) and even mentioned how long it's been since his utterly spectacular finisher has been used. (even though he didn't get to use it) It's like the second half of this episode is my brain! Though that stupid plot point of the riders only spending so long in the mirror world returns, and stupidly of course. Despite everyone showing up at WILDLY different times, they all start fizzling at once. Pbpbpbpbppbpbpb...

EDIT: Oh jeez who is this? Imperer? This guy is kinda funny, trying to join both sides with the same lines. He keeps business cards in his deck? Holy crap that's funny.
