This is… maybe the least checked-in I’ve been for a Kamen Rider endgame? I genuinely can’t recall a time I’ve cared less about the overall plot of a season. I mean, to put it in context, there was a scene where an excited Hitomi (remember her?) is trying to get Asumu to pitch in on her panel theater group, and I honest to god thought Yes Please Just Follow That Thread For The Next Four Episodes.

It's either this or the final arc of Agito. Other than the anomalous Otoroshi and increasing Makamou numbers, it feels like just another Oni plot rather than what's supposed to be the climax. Kimono Douji's and Hime's plot has to stop while this phenomenon happens and their plot probably would have been more interesting. You have every right to be disappointed.

I thought that scene was pretty humorous where Shounen is all like "Riding bicycle to school is for chumps, Mochida-san!" to show that he's actually a very different person from how he was at the start.

Regarding Mochida's panel theater (she's actually doing something!), the faerie tale you saw was The Little Match Girl and that's not as random as you may think, as its bittersweet ending actually foreshadows a major event in the next episode. Considering the title of the next episode, I'm only going to allow you one guess to figure out what I'm talking about.

BTW, I intend to rewatch the last 4 episodes on Friday so I'll be late reacting to your reviews of 45 and 46 but I do have some stuff to say eventually.
