I can't think of many other instances in Kamen Rider where that's the case; where a new weapon gets to carry this kind of importance to it without a new form attached to it? All that comes to mind is Necrom's gangun catcher, and maybe Kabuto's hyper sword and something you'll be seeing later in 01... but god, this is just so sick. I love it

I totally agree with you here! Emperor Form already looked awesome on its own, but Zanvat Sword just completes it, you know? It has such a simple sliding mechanic, but seeing the blade glow sanguine red like Kiva's some kind of Vampire Uchuu Keiji with a Lazer Blade is so satisfying. Even better is how it debuts to a longer version of Supernova! It also has the symbolism of Wataru taking control and channeling his overflowing emotions in to something he can wield. I love it when a weapon gets to feel like it's as important as a new form. It's easily my second favorite Final Form weapon after Perfect Zecter, overall. In terms of building suspense though, Zanvat Sword definitely has a lot more excitement behind it.

I think that paragraph is actually longer than the one I wrote about Emperor Form, so Zanvat Sword must be pretty awesome!

I think most of Yuri's outfits suit her, but my personal favorite is the one she usually wears while working at Mal d'Amour. It has the right balance between fashionable, casual and friendly.
