Don't like being too negative, but I've got to say this: I'm severely disappointed by how lazy they got with Grand's power and shocked by how quickly it happened.

Last episode not only made me love Grand, it put it on the track to overtaking even Cosmic as my favourite final form. It was an extremely clever idea to literally pluck Riders out of specific points in the timeline for attacks; them doing the exact same motions they did in their series but in a different context without them even realising they're there. I was hardly expecting them to go quite as grandiose and overwhelming as they did against Another Den-O until the last couple episodes, but I hoped this basic idea would keep up.

Here all that uniqueness is gone and he's just Diend. I don't think the cool little time gates showed up; he just hits the statue and Build is here or Den-O is here and they're not doing any specific action they did in their series, they're just another suit in the fight. There wasn't even any specific forms like how we saw Gatakiriba and Suika Arms last week; it's... just Diend summons. It's hugely disappointing and inconsistent.
