The sounds are not that interesting IMO since we know them by now, however this is our first glance at how the Lv. 1 form might "level up” into the Lv. 2 Rider form: Similarly to how Blade transforms (and Wizard sometimes), by running through a glowing portal. Which in the case of Blade is the card, with Wizard it’s his magical circle and with Ex-Aid it seems to be the holographic layout of the
Lv. 2 form which is also displayed on the belt.

Interesting stuff. I wished for some Transformers / Kamen Rider Kabuto style of transformation since the face of the Lv. 1 form ends up on the back of the Lv. 2 form. But this is okay I guess, it also saves money later on since you don’t need to show something fancy every time.

Let’s hope they use that money to keep the digital hit effects up as long as possible, and of course this Mario-esque finisher needs to be in the show. I fully realize these machines have finishers never seen in the shows (like Necrom’s death ray for example) but this one is too good, it must be in the actual show at least once.
