Yeah.. I'm not going to make any predictions with this show. I can see it going in certain directions sure but it quickly throws in curve balls and red herrings. For a while it was pretty easy to guess what would happen next if you know a little about archetypes and so on, but then they throw in a couple of characters who could concievably either die soon, or become incredibly important.

It's pretty infuriating!

This episode shined in the fight scenes. Team Gaim's dances move come through in the flips and kick work, kind of like capoeira. And those armoured riders who aren't beat riders, or at least not good ones, fight slightly differently. Its all extremely well done.

I think the overall thought process of many of us (like myself) is that the show is about to take a serious turn towards the "OH SHI*!" stage, where things take a turn for the worse. Right now we have a bunch of dance teams hanging out, dancing, and using their Armored Rider forms to beat the other teams on a stage.

Obviously, there's something much larger on the horizon as Yggdrasill and Takatora (Zangetsu) are harvesting something and "protecting the world" from something. Obviously that's going to fall apart and we're going to see what's really going on. And for the weight of the situation to be felt, I think we're going to have to see some death, or at least some permanent loss of powers.

In the opening of the first episode, we didn't see Kurokage, Bravo, or the Energy Riders. We saw Gaim, alone (with an army of Inves), we saw Baron with Gridon and an army of Inves and Tulip Hoppers, and then we see Zangetsu, Ryugen, with an army of Inves and Watermelon Arms.

Makes you wonder what's going to happen, as the first episode's opening was to serve as a "possible future" as to what will happen.
