Faiz Episode 12
Kaixa storming in like a bad mother fucker!

Well of course it's true Keitaro. Why on Earth would they lie about it?

Heyyyyy, this isn't the Kaixa I know of! Actually all joking aside I am aware that Kaixa's belt is handled by multiple people and not just used by Masato (who from what I understand, shows up next episode). So I guess I still have to wait to truly see Kaixa, but at least the suit is finally here and in action!

Is it just me, or is the music playing during the scene following the class finding Kaixa sound like Love Hurts?

Hey! How come Mari gets a spotlight? What makes her so special that she gets one?

I love how music being played on the radio almost perfectly matches the scene. Like you could legitimately see them playing that type of song during a scene like this if it was in a movie. It's the small stuff such as this that makes me smile when watching these shows, or any show in particular.

Also I quite enjoy how into Keitaro's love life Takumi is. And I gotta agree with Keitaro, I think Takumi is jealous. And snap! Mari's voice and eyes, scary!

LMFAO at Takumi just inching away from the room! That's freaking priceless man

I wonder if Yuji was asking if she likes him as a person or likes him in that special way. If it's the latter, this could turn into a weird love triangle.

What's with the Mexican stand off music?

Man all of these villains with a certain number of lives. Haven't they ever heard of cheat codes? Input a code and get yourself infinite lives bitch! Live forever and dominate the field like a bad mama jama!

Scenes like this just make me want to see Yuji snap and give into his Orphenoch instincts.

This girl's slight overbite is kinda cute. Or is it just me who feels that way? Oh and the girl wearing the glasses, she's really cute. Like a lot.

Wow this guy sucked. No wonder he got his ass handed to him. Clearly he is not the perfect choice and thus user for the Kaixa Gear.

Wait he can henshin while wearing his motorcycle helmet? How exactly does the Faiz helmet fit over that one? Did it just compress itself to where it's pressing up against Takumi's head? Geez, physics in tokusatsu when it comes to suits is pretty strange. Then again, this isn't as head scratching as say Doggie.

Well that fight was short. And not just Faiz shows up, kicks ass, and hits finisher short. No I mean like really really short. The action and choreography was alright but it's length kinda sucked. Wished it was longer. But hey J only has two lives left, guess they wanted to preserve them for bigger and better fights.

They all died and became Orphenochs. Calling it.

Well episode 12 was decent. It had a fairly nice story in it. It wasn't really anything spectacular, but it was pretty good for the episode. It told us about the Kaixa gear in a non in depth yet slightly informative fashion, and helped move forward the overall story with Mari, her father, and her siblings/classmates. There wasn't really any new character development, in fact I'd say there wasn't any at all. Though it was nice to see Takumi acting pretty darn nice for an episode and not just a constant brat with only a scene of pleasantness. The action was pretty lame as I stated above.

Of course we also got a new suit this episode that was spotlighted. That suit would be Kaixa. The Kaixa suit has been one of my favorite suits since I started getting into Kamen Rider last year. I love the whole X motif and the color scheme isn't too shabby either. I love the weapon due to my fetish with guns that turn into swords and it fits with the character theme perfectly. I freaking love the suit and find it utterly bad ass. Shame though that it's not being used by the man who makes a full bad ass package and made me want to watch Faiz. But hey, he's coming pretty soon from the looks of things.

So overall this was a good episode. It had a good story which in my opinion helped move forward the plot/a major part of the show. Outside of that the rest was pretty meh, which is slightly contradictorily of me calling it good. But I personally think the strong story in it helped move it along and makes it good.
