Did Vice just make an Ultraman reference?

Double Review, because I'm late, internet problems, lack of getting anything done, but not a lot to say but, things are really moving fast now, huh?

Last episode had a good premise, same with this one, but felt like they were trying to introduce the new Riders as quickly as possible, which I don't know how I feel about Reiwa Rider. Criticisms aside, I notice that the Lion Deadmans has OOO's color palette, don't know whether that was intentional or not, but I won't try to discern anything from it. Absolutely loved Lion Genome, probably my favorite, but I'll wait until they've all been shown off, and nice detail showcasing how tough the Generals are, even if Olteca got owned.

This episode reminded me of the Zero-One court episode, and showed Ikki hustling everyone. I would have thought Vice would be revealed to everyone later, but I also thought the same about other things in this show. It was a nice bait-and-switch, and shows that Demons can take over people (or at least, hints at it), adding to the theory about the one shot of Ikki in the opening.

Now the Deadmans are targeting Ikki's siblings, George is letting Evil run amok, Kuroda is going to become Spiderman, still good stuff.

Next Episode: "Who are you?"
-Lazer: "I'm a bike!"
-Vice: "I'm a skateboard!"
-Kuroda: "An emissary from hell!"
