The differences between him and the regular Ex-Aid suit, from the waist cloak, the larger shoulders, the horned ornaments, and the black eyes, all go a really long way of setting this guy apart and gives him a very imposing aura. The use of his time powers really sells how powerful he is and how much you do not want to mess with him

• That being said, the reveal that Masamune is supposedly is real villain behind everything is kinda iffy to me. I mean the scene with him is great, in fact the entire debut of Cronus itself was awesome. Its just that it kinda falls a bit too much into the "It was me all along" kinda twist (Insert JoJo meme here). Hopefully they explain some of this stuff later but right now it just seems a little too convenient that everything went according to his plan.

• I'm also cautious over what this will do to the Bugsters. I hope they won't be reduced to pawns and thus not feel like the villains of the show, which is the exact thing that happened to the Phantoms from Wizard. They are introducing a cool new plot element, that Cronus is capable of permanently erasing them which will no doubt create some interesting tension especially for Pallad. I just hope this doesn't suddenly result in them joining the good guys though. Having Kuroto be part of the good guy team is already enough to take on its own.

They really need to come up with a good explanation about his grand scheme. If not then they're just pulling this twist for the shock value like most M.Night movies. I think they'll team up temporarily and once Chronos is defeated then they'll fight again, but they seems to be building up to the ultimate bugster.
