I'm really surprised no one's mentioned the kinda big plot hole in this episode. That being, how did Genm get the purple PMAX gashat back? Last we saw it was with the other proto gashats in Masamune's posession.

Not gonna lie, I really don't see the point of killing off two characters this late that, thanks to the movie, we know for sure are going to return. Why bother? And I have to agree- the Poppy thing was really out of nowhere. Props to Kuroto's actor though, for still getting up the feels with his "you can't just disappear without the Game Master's permission" line. Genm really is the best character on this show.

But let's be honest, this episode wasn't about Poppy and Parad dying, it was about the final boss being defeated by the return of Level 1! That was a great twist that fit with the series lore, and it was nice to see them again. I will be honest...that shot of the Level 1's running at Gamedeus from the back was BY FAR the worst CGI I have seen in Kamen Rider so far, but it was well worth it. Genm Level 1 actually fought! Lazer's wheel things are guns after all, like I originally thought!

And of course, Build. I love how he's got the Spiderman-esque laid back banter thing going on, I've always wanted to see a rider with that.
