[Locke]

HOLY SHIT SID.

This was a really great episode, it painted Kouta in an even better light. I may have wavered on him in the past but when I think about him over the course of the whole series, he probably is my favourite main Rider in the franchise.

The real highlights though were around the Overlord's. I never much cared for them, if I'll be honest, but this episode really highlighted their individual strengths by playing them in contrast to one another.

Highlight moment for me though was Demushu's rampage - especially for a show with usually such weak action - I loved the little touches to make it feel like it was happening in a real city with actual collateral. You don't normally get that in toku, all the action feels like it's in a bubble normally.
