[MaskedRiderAsakura]

After seeing the subs.....*sigh*. Where do I begin? Switchblade pretty much covered it all


The show really pulled a "Sorry! The princess is in another castle!" with the Demia servers and the heroes accomplished nothing. That was cool, I guess. Onari could have seriously gotten Alain hurt or worse, but of course he didn't because it's Kamen Rider Ghost and Onari's foolish glory-seeking can never be allowed to have negative consequences. Nobody even calls him out on making such an idiotic decision. He complains about everybody else being more useful than him, and Akari gives him some generic "Takeru needs you!" speech despite the fact that he has no real skills that would prove this statement true. I mean, jeez, even the Special Investigations Unit, each member had individual skills that were useful to Shinnosuke and gang. Onari provides.....moral support, I guess?

The stuff with Hiroki was super pointless, seriously I don't get why they even bothered introducing that story arc this late into the game. It was nice to see Beethoven again. Honestly, I forgot Takeru even had any other forms because all he uses nowadays is Mugen.

And now that I think about it, yeah, I don't recall Takeru's mother EVER getting mentioned throughout the entire series, but she's just shoehorned in here because the writers apparently forgot that it takes two people to make a kid. I mean, it's not like Gaim where the parents are just dead and the show doesn't even bother to address them most of the time. Here in Ghost, Takeru's dad is half the damn plot of the show, but his mother just didn't matter up until now?

So yeah.....44 episodes in and the only thing meaningful that happened was Adel merging with the world or some shit, something that would have happened regardless of whether or not the heroes bothered doing anything. Gyro's coming back next episode, glad to see the show didn't totally forget about him, even though he's yet another villain in a show where all of the major villains are still alive and kicking and we only have 5 more episodes to go. Speaking of which, whatever happened to Javel? Either I missed him in the previews or he simply isn't there.
