Another solid episode. My thoughts aren't very connected so here's more bullet-points:

- Continuing the trend of fun bits of body language, Taiga holds his Gashat like a gun and presses the "trigger" with his index finger when transforming. Awesome!

- Continuing the trend of everybody else's stock footage being less cool than Ex-Aid's, Snipe's transformation is pretty *meh*. Less awesome!

- I love how the sets get random genre-specific junk scattered about. Can't wait for like 6 different Riders to get into a fight at once, and it gets so littered nobody can even move.

- Props to Hiiro for actually putting the patient ahead of Rider infighting. Less props for wussing out at the end but hey, somebody's gotta make Emu look good, I guess.

- On that note, what the crap they DIE if their health gets depleted?! What sense does that make? It's not even a video game thing! Ex-Aid should have extra lives, Snipe would just respawn from the last checkpoint, and Brave can just reload his save!

- Super excited for Lazer to show up, I get the feeling he'll be the first side-Rider in this show I'll actually be interested in as a character instead of just a good foil with some backstory I can't care about because they haven't elaborated on it yet.

- That's some pretty suspicious dialogue from Taiga. I guess Emu's smirk is supposed to be creepy? Time will tell, I suppose. Unless the whole payoff of that was supposed to be when Emu sorta kinda accepts Taiga's bet in the climax, because frankly it didn't really come off like he was agreeing to the challenge as much him saying generic excited stuff. It's not like he signed some legally binding contract, right? He could've just been like "f*** you dude, I need this thing to save people!" at the end, couldn't he? Did I just miss a really important line of dialogue or does this make as little sense as I think it does?
