If that is true, that would mean Tsubaki using defibrillator is an indirect help to Kuuga, not to revive him but to get him go Rising!

With people refusing to travel within a disaster (Grongi here)... that reminds me of certain something happened in real world.... Also what if Grongi notices this and started to break into houses/apartments (especially if they utilize Japanese language to communicate).... How did Nana actually follow without Yusuke coming? Keiko and Minori didn't really join the swimming pool right...

So they purposely kill with the patterns, the patterns are the part of the game right? And previously like the bee one it's not that hard to figure out. Well yeah, the equipment is the hard one as the human weaponry is rarely enough against the Grongi. But tracking down location of them for Yusuke to beat is helpful too.

Honestly, Sakurako should just ask Tsubaki to eat, right at Pole Pole, the place she's in. To be fair Tsubaki is focused enough to still talk about helping out (even if Pole Pole is, a restaurant), and leaving again if he got a call (though he leaves a flower to Sakurako). Now this is real problem if there are Grongis being in action at once.... there can't be 2 Kuugas to fight them off, and the cops for now can only track their locations, but can't fight them off. Are there any reasons there's only 1 Grongi each taking part into action before? Kuuga may can beat Grongi, but if there's 2 or more on killing spree, the public is screwed, Kuuga can't fight them all at once, especially if they're scattered in different locations.

I don't know if Badaa doesn't know Kuuga enough to shrug off something humanly like that. And yeah Badaa is the one Grongi that feels very Kamen Rider, he completely mirrors Kuuga. That one moment when Kuuga jumps and misses Badaa's head by an inch with his bike wheels tho... I wish Kuuga actually hit Badaa (head) that time. There's a lack of head on crashes too (which I'd like to see), with them mostly just scraping off each other.

Yeah, this is a smart sequence on both ends. Bemiu using piano music as a pattern to kill... with the unfortunate thing for her leaving marks on the piano and the aura that sets Ichijou off. And good thing for the cops to comprehensively list the number of victims and complete location. Usually it's assumed that monsters kill by random and what they can in random place, but not for Grongi case.

What should be realized for Keiko is that there are other chaos than Grongis though in the world. Avoiding yourself from Grongi is like avoiding terrorists (even if guns are far weaker than Grongis, it's still enough to kill) or something. Minori is an idealist right? Lesson from the Jean moment; don't instantly chastise those who is eavesdropping you! Sometimes they can help and surprise you!

I guess the beach should start with "So" for her to go there. How do they figure out that a beach is going to be her substitute though? And so if Kuuga's weapon is affected, it reverts to it's original shape, but the original shape is not damaged too or something? I want to know if Kuuga Mighty can enhance the finisher by training to give flying side kick, how about the other forms? How to distinguish the way do you a finisher attack or an ordinary attack in a non-Mighty form? (like how you talk about Mighty Form leaving Kuuga trail in his attacks at earlier part)
