Loved the episode.

Kami Gaim came across clearer now in how he was motivating and teaching Sougo. The ending on that was interesting too from the delay in being erased. So it does come across as very much a teaching moment to Sougo about having faith in the abilities of others.

And now formally the time loop is broken. They've managed to successfully begin to alter the future. Which should set Woz into his own story path potentially that should be interesting as we're nearing the breaking of the Sebastian and Ciel angle.

Loved how Tsukuyomi was more contemptuous towards Woz too. Also interesting now how Woz revealed the original timeline at some point had both removed at different times and how this was originally the point Geiz was gone at. Loved that extra emphasis of "letting this one go for someone else's sake" which is very fitting for Gaim BTS-wise. Showing they're still working in BTS stuff when it fits for extra nods. Makes me curious what Tsukuyomi's original fate was, which is likely changed now too since events will unfold differently now that Geiz is still around.

Overall, really enjoyed these episodes and all the growth it yielded, as well as the character foreshadowing, including how Tsukuyomi is seeing that Sougo is more than what his future version was.

Interesting now at how we're seeing the beginning of the rewritten future too. Giving us that emphasis of time changing like we see in BTTF 2 and 3 with the photo, newspapers, and fax. Especially love the emphasis of how Sougo himself is who broke it.

Overall really looking forward to how more develops out. Especially loved the tongue in cheek joke with melon arms. The biggest unwieldly rider suit gear reduced to now one of the smallest, but also in such a cute charming way.

Really love how much deep thought is going into the episodes and the character conveyance. It has charm, but also still feels very pertinent to the story it's trying to convey and the growth of each. Sougo is showing some rather interesting hidden intelligence too in how he knows how people act and react. Predicting Woz to a T. And the added interesting reveal of how much more of a threat the time jackers really are with their own abilities and access of rider series skills themselves outside of gear too.

Extra interesting in how Woz and them interact, and how that may grow too. And makes it all the more curious how his future storylines are going to progress as he soon becomes the one fighting to maintain the future against their changes potentially. These two episodes really begin setting up a fresh start, but also are the culmination of the build up to now, including how Sougo is getting attached to Geiz and Tsukuyomi, and how that's going to impact the future more now. How much Sougo's loyalty to his friends are what cause him to force himself to alter time itself. That's deep, but not overtly forcefully so in conveyance with how it's subtle played. That's simply what friends do for each other. That's what caring means. But that also means having faith in each other's strength too, but to also give them a way to fight forward and help, but to still let them do it on their own.

Really love how much 'other' material they've been working in too. Toei's really got a knack for using that in non-insulting but very pertinent ways, and it is part of Heisei history to the series itself and each's references. Major respect to them for how they've managed to do that in very heartwarming but also respectful ways.
