Wait, that image isn't from Build! Weird.

This was straight up one of the best episodes of Kamen Rider I've seen in years. F*** Gaim comparisons (even though I just made one), this was Kuuga levels of not giving a crap about shilling merch. You want a cool new form for Build? Have about 3 minutes of it before he kills a man, and then most of the rest of the episode is everybody being traumatized with barely any background music.

I love it.

For one, I've been on Kamen Rider's case for a while now about overdoing it with the soundtrack and this episode pretty definitively proves my point about the value of silence for me, so that's nice. But beyond that, Build has been doing a stellar job week after week of constantly improving on itself and so far shows no signs of stopping when it comes to delivering an engaging plot with tons of momentum and fleshed out, likable characters who are always growing. It's very telling that the only thing that gets me as excited as an episode of Build is the preview for the next one.
