Wizard was the first Kamen Rider I watched live, so to speak. Sure, it has it's faults, but I love it. And this episode, just recapturing that feel, made it "magic" to me. The return of the old two-part structure, all the spells (I loved how they kept Haruto's favourite tactic, 'spamming DEFEND until you think of a plan'), and it's nice to see how the Another Rider this time is a smart, rational enough person to be able to lie low for... 6 years?

Wow, I feel old.

And this episode also has good character development. From our three factions meeting up at once for the first time, to Geiz and Zi-O obviously heading towards the lesson of "Sometimes different methods can work, and that's okay", to Sougo being really chill around Woz. Like, weirdly chill.

Wizard is an easy way to my heart, and this one's winning. Now, give me mayonnaise while I wait for next week.

((Also, Librarian, as usually, stop treating the wildest theories I've ever heard as facts and pretending people are too "stupid" if they don't agree with you. You're not from the future, you're not a prophet, right now, you're just being a rude nuisance.))
