Well, well....It's been a fun ride, Build. This Finale.....I really feel pretty awkward about it. It's really a very odd way of ending a Series, but....in some ways, I kinda feel like that's the point.

First off, the fight was pretty darn cool! Really like the real pettiness on Evolt during this fight, realizing that he's screwed in this...pocket dimension? anyway, so he figures might as well take down Sento with him. And Sento was fighting his hardest in this fight, and the way both were depowering during the fight was really cool. Although what bugged me in this was....Why didn't Evolt depower into his Kamen Rider form? His Monster Form is supposed to be him at his strongest, right? Sooooo....having regular RabbitTank beat him was kinda weird. RabbitDragon being used for this fight was very fitting though, but it's funny how this kinda highlights how oddly disappointing Genius Form was, for this Trial Form to be able to be at the same level it was.

Second, if there's one complaint I have of this Episode....SIGH, FRICKIN VERNAGE...USELESS AF!!! And yes, I understand, sure, her actress got sick....Doesn't excuse the character in the story not playing enough of a role she should've. ESPECIALLY during this Finale.

Third....this new world....It's very jarring. And I don't mean this in a bad way. This is what I meant when I said that it feels awkward. It's also pretty odd that instead of just outright beating a villain & resolving the problem within the setting like every other Kamen Rider Series, they instead just....BANISH & REWRITE IT...It's pretty weird to think about. But the way this new world is where everyone is back to normal, the Skywall doesn't exist anymore....but Sento & Ryuga are there as oddities within this new world....It's very headscratching. I guess the biggest question is....What now??? I assume this will be addressed when we get to Zi-O.

Overall as a Series, Kamen Rider Build was GREAT, and is definitely one of the best of the Heisei Era. People rag on the Neo-Heisei Era, but I would argue it has most of the best shows of the franchise, and Build is one of them. Now, this show WOULD'VE EASILY been THE best, had it not been for the ridiculously weak Lost Bottle Arc.....but it still holds as a Top-Tier Series. I'm REALLY frustrated on if Build has earned itself as the best Kamen Rider Series to date or not, because this would've been an easy "YES!" had it not been for this last Arc. But still, this show was a banger, and I'm gonna miss it.
