ONE EPISODE MUTSUKI is definitely something I yelled at one point!

Regardless, my laptop’s in for repairs till next week and typing on the phone is painful, so just briefly... yeah. Yeah Blade’s ending is phenomenal and there’s few Rider endings I prefer; and without it I’m really not sure how I’d feel about Blade. It’s absolutely one of those endings that really recontextualises everything you think and feel about these characters; and even knowing the twist going into it (for god’s sake, Blade’s ability on his legend rider progrise key is Joker!!!), it actually didn’t ruin anything. Oh, sure, the element of surprise is awesome; but how he got there was so much more important and really got me to tears. Kenzaki and Hajime... they’re always what I’ll take away from this show.

It’s hard to say much more because Blade was my last Heisei Rider; my 20th, so a lot of my feelings on it are lost and muddled up in it being the finale of that long ride for me. It’s difficult to even recall more than absolute highlights (good and bad), but ultimately... I still really, really liked what I got; and I’m glad to see you got something similar.
