[Switchblade]

I'm definitely going to need to see it again with subtitles, but I thought it was a pretty good ending. The fights were cool, although after how unstoppable Leo and Sagittarius have been up until now, it feels like they both maybe went down too easily. I don't know, maybe that's just me. The end to Kengo's story was good, but like I said last week, everything about it seems straight the hell out of W (although I really liked the mechanic for it, that was clever). I'm also a little bummed that we never got to see Sonoda again - is she just stuck on Tachibana's satellite forever? Having Nao Nagasawa and Alternative Zero back was an awesome touch, though.

I guess ultimately, as much as I enjoyed it, this really doesn't stand out as one of the great Rider finales to me - certainly not on par with OOO or W, much less the all-time greats like Blade and Black. It was... nice. There were some cool character moments, we got some good wrap-up, and the fights were pretty good (especially Meteor vs. Leo). In the end, though... well, let me put it this way: last year, when OOO ended, I was really sad to be leaving the show and all the characters I'd grown to love behind. This year, I'm not. Fourze was good, but I'm ready to move on to Wizard and I'm not sure I'll be looking back that much.
