So, does it literally just keep raining while they're filming Ex-Aid and they just keep rolling with it? Because this wasn't even a melodramatic scene like the last couple times.

Anyways, great episode:

- I always had a soft spot for Graphite so it's cool to see him get some real focus for his final appearance. Remember back when he had his pathetic first "death"? Good times...

- On the subject of trips down memory lane, there was a whole couple seconds of chibi-suit Ex-Aid! I'll take what I can get at this point!

- Although I'm not sure why Emu and Parad even bothered doing that whole bit if they were just going to go to their strongest forms five seconds later anyway. Maybe it's because they're not actually trying to beat Chronus? Or perhaps they just figured that if, hypothetically, their lives were a TV show, merging together like that would make for a cool shot?

- I can't help but feel it'd be a little more poignant after all his development if Hiiro flatly refused to help Taiga fight Graphite, especially considering it doesn't really seem like any more sensible a plan than the alternative, but hey, at least they made it clear his motivations for doing it are totally different now.

- Shin-chan, this is exactly why I keep saying you need some sort of medication! That shriveled black thing you call a heart finally gave out from all the stress!

- It's delightfully morbid that he died from exhaustion like a dozen times in one episode though. Or maybe more like morbidly delightful, given that I've never liked Shin-chan all that much.

- I'll give him props for actually shutting up when Emu told him to, however. That's more respect than people usually give him.

- What's that Johnny? We could've seen the true ending of Kamen Rider Chronicle if Masamune hadn't called off the deal? How cryptic.

- Speaking of which, poor Masamune. He's become just as ineffectual as his son in even less time. Dude is thoroughly defeated, cheats his way back into the game, and then immediately loses again.
