I've never so looked forward to seeing a new form and then almost immediately regretted it.

This show man,..it messes with my emotions. It really drives home the point that the curse of The Masked Rider is that you fight, whether you want to or not,..you're now a living weapon and you don't really get a say in the matter.

Which is a theme introduced by Hongo in the very first series and I guess is a prevailing theme all throughout the years, but man this episode really drove that point home, hard,..with tears and PTSD. Holy shit!

This is like a treat to older toku fans who can't sit down to watch water down toku and even more water down compares to when they were kids where even dragonball was all punching,mistakes, high stakes, and sort of permanent deaths.maybe dragonball isn't the best examples, but the bloody action is. Unlike other out of control form like putotyra, w's black and white form I forgot that name of, drive, etc This form doesn't seem to enrage a person, but just mute their emotion and make the user kill like a robot. Literally a killing weapon in the idea of the "deceased" scientist.

Now you got to wonder how some fans and even YouTubers continue to love ninja steel despite bandai of America quality of toys and Saban style of writing while still laugh out on Japanese toku. Besides watering down to having motw fights bland without stakes and emotions. The actings and pacing are horrible. They don't need build type of story, but at least do better at adapting Sentai. I wish dub could be successful in the states, but unlike other part of Asia the majority wouldn't like to watch bad dubs of Asian fighting monsters because of cultural difference and other stuffs on top of that.

Then we have Blood stalk poo pooing Sento's guilt by saying ya'll not even human no more, you just broke a weapon . . . and HANDS HIM a case full of bottles to train with to kill another dude

at this point we gotta ask, is Blood Stalk one of the best villains we've had?

Michi was a sick son of a bitch obsessed with a girl and proving himself

Dan Kuruto was pure ego, literally renaming himself SHIN DAN KUROTO upon
resurrection

Dan is pretty much a meme and joke by the end of the series, but maybe the Vcinemas will change that. Blood stark is cheeky like dj Sagara. He's sort of like the one that knows all, controls all, and also a mentor to Sento in both human and rider like form. I guess next week Sento will somehow defeat Grease without killing him and then income Seito rider and the new transteam gun brothers. Sento will probably make the new gimmick to help him control hazard.
