[Xtreme RX]

Honestly, a really interesting episode.

Loved the brief Oma Zi-O vs Grand fight, and they acknowledge the Drive RideWatch conundrum. Though it makes sense, it does seem kind of pathetic that Grand Zi-O would be defeated by Drive in Type Speed, but alas that is Grand's weakness for now. With this much emphasis on Drive's power, I'm starting to doubt his involvement will be movie-only.

The actual plot of the episode had me intrigued. Seeing the war-torn Japan made for a change in tone (at least for Zi-O, Build was pretty much this all last year lol) and bringing back Hiryu as a villain was a good move considering his relation to Sougo (what a petty guy though, holy). While I know a lot of people are bugged that this reset kind of retreads familiar ground with both Geiz and Tsukuyomi, I'm kind of okay with it because it's giving Geiz importance again after being relegated to the sidelines for the last few months.

Another Zi-O II is seriously OP, being able to rewrite history. It's kind of sad to see Grand getting his ass beat so fast, but the last fight made up for it, especially with the dual-wield sword finisher and Agito kick.

Tsukasa's involvement is interesting, it almost feels like he stepped into an AR world like in his own series based on his first appearance this episode. And him saving Sougo using a rifle is gold. Of course, he's the one who has to talk the sense back into Sougo, and of course he has to be a dick about it as well. But that's why we love him.

And yeah, I caught that glimpse of Another Drive and Decade. Fingers crossed that we'll see them before the show's run is through.
