[FreshToku]

Even though the Imagins have made reappearances over the years more often than anyone else, something about this episode felt more authentically like the original Den-O show then other times. Maybe it's because of just the fact that so many of them are here, including Yuuto and Deneb, and they're actually interacting with the cast and each other in a natural way instead of just spouting catchphrases.

Throw in a stray Imagin with his own goals along with the Another Rider's personal story, and we've got a really chaotic series of events going on, but it's a fun kind of chaos instead of a confusing one!

There probably isn't much point in talking about Grand Zi-O since it won't properly debut until two weeks from now, but I do like how it's 'summoning' power works, which seems to literally pluck the other riders out of a moment from their history and they proceed to act as they would have from those moments. I can see Sougo summoning a Build Genius shouting "This is the power of Kamen Riders, Evolt!" just to kick some mook in the face for example, or summoning Putotyra in the middle of a rampage and sic him on whoever Zi-O is facing.
