And I gotta say, what a twist! The entire time I was watching I was wondering how these two stories would meet up, how Yuuji was going to end up with the belt and become Faiz. He was built up so sympathetically, that introductory sequence after the opening, with the car wreck..damn. But yeah, I was fully expecting him to end up with the belt and..he ends up being one of the bad guys, did not see that coming at all. I'm sure if I had known ahead of time who actually was the rider, like I'm sure most people did when first watching the series, either back when it first aired or now, that I probably would have had a different reaction, but I really didn't know much of anything before jumping into the show so it was a total shock to me.

Not a whole lot else to say. Faiz has a pretty decent henshin sequence, I like the driver, the fight scene was pretty solid too, and I loved that first rider kick. It was just a little tap, and the orphenoc's reaction added just the right amount of humor to what was otherwise a pretty melo-dramatic and dark episode.

Looking forward to seeing what the show has to offer.

I absolutely love how much Faiz has twists and turns. It evolves so much and has some of the best characters ever in it.
