Does he collect stamps? He seems like a guy who would collect stamps.

Between this and the back-and-forth on Ryuki 28, I'm really sensing a strong Fish-Die rivalry here. Not gonna lie, it's thoroughly entertaining. You two should get some lockseeds or something!


I don't usually comment on fight scenes because I often don't have much to say beyond "that was cool and I liked it", I tend to save all my analysis for the emotion in the action than the action itself. But something fun Dragon Form introduces here is Kuuga getting his weapons by transforming similar-shaped objects -- he gets dedicated ones for his next two, but with Dragon Form especially it was always very fun seeing him get creating trying to find something to turn into his lance. Er, rod? Spear? The long thing! I don't harbour any real dislike for "Rider Pulls His Weapon Out Of Nowhere", but this extra practicality and creativity did add something neat for me.
