Rintarou is a pretty chill dude and definitely not feeling the Kaixa Day spirit at all!

(Happy Kaixa Day BTW!)

The CGI fights have improved here although the fact that they're fighting monster ants instead of random rocks probably helps.

Is Rintarou's smartphone trike supposed to be an Ebook?

Touma's book bike makes a lot more sense than Aruto using his Risephone to summon an even bigger Risephone that turns in to a bike. Both of these things make more sense than Sougo riding a bicycle though. Huh, Ridestriker? Never heard of it.

Lots of Ridermoji in the Sword of Logos base. Unless somebody else beats me to it, I might try translating them when I watch the sub.

It's a little annoying how Kento cameos at the end but probably won't henshin until Episode 4. They're saving all the coolest Rider suits for later! "Ken" and "To" are both words for sword so his name is very fitting.

I'm surprised to see them use that location again so soon after Kiramager Episode 15, the one with red light green light.

Plus Touma seems to use his knowledge of storybooks to use power effectively. It seems like Rintaro tell him to use Jakkun to Domamenoki a certain way but Touma uses it differently because he knows the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

Good point. Kind of reminds me of how Hiiro/Brave's inexperience with video games caused him to ignore Energy Items unless prompted by one of the other Gamer Riders. I think Rintarou deserves a little credit though since I doubt he lives in that big library without reading a single book.

It also seems to confirm what I thought that each Sword Rider has a blank form without any books on the Driver, since Blades apparently meant for Saber to remove Brave Dragon first before inserting Jackun To Domamenoki.

Something else I recently found out about the gimmick is that each Seiken Sword has their own "Volumes" based on elemental compatibility. Brave Dragon is Volume 1 of Rekka, Lion Senki is Volume 2 of Nagare and Lamp Do Alngina is Volume 3 of Ikazuchi. By using all 3 Volumes of 1 Seiken Sword, you get a full story!

Dragon Jackun is basically crossover fiction.
