Found it! Yeah, jeez, he's in that form for a few seconds before he gets Lockseeded.

It's not my favorite film, but I wouldn't call it my least favorite. I mean, it's got some positive qualities. The whole thing with Kaito and Shotaro having to find a missing dog is perfect, especially since that's Shotaro's last-ever onscreen case. And I don't know Decade, but Decade was pretty great in this. (Honestly, I've liked every Legend Rider thing Decade's shown up for. Psyched to watch that show at some point!) It's mostly, I don't remember the villain plot making any sense, even for Shocker, and the Vs Showa finale is disappointingly lame, either ending.

Also that two-parter is so bizarre, like it only exists to tell the audience information but then conveniently wipes the main character's memory so he can't act on that information until they want him to.

It's not even great info! Literally the only two things we learn that we couldn't figure out before that story is that Shouichi had a sister, and he once ran away from home because he hated tomatoes. Hand to god, I think I cared more about the tomato story. The mysterious death of a character we never met, that the main character won't remember after this, it's bad storytelling. It doesn't motivate our hero, it doesn't create new storylines, it doesn't open up new or interesting avenues of emotional expression, it's just a data point. It's like finding out the name of Shouichi's old mailman. It's irrelevant to every character in the show now, except maybe Truegami, and I don't give a shit what he cares about yet. It's a long walk to go nowhere.

Nope, Gills is dead, totally dead. One of the most unbreakable rules in tokusatsu is that "dead means dead". No one survives life-threatening injuries, no one ever gets resurrected, everything is always exactly as it appears. Sorry!
