Episode 15!

-Man, really love the appearance of Geiz the Teenager this episode in the opening. After flinging himself at Another Ghost once Sougo went down last arc, it's really nice to see him open up a bit, and (kinda) admit that he likes Sougo and wants to find a way to stop Oma Zi-O without murdering the kid.

-.......Of course, all that doesn't matter when it seems the world's suddenly under seige from Oma-Zio, causing Geiz to reaffirm that leaving Sougo alive is actually a terrible mistake and that being soft on him is what led to this destruction. And so, Geiz the Future Warrior comes crashing back in.....

-I don't know how to describe it, but I love Woz's energy in this one? He's super thrilled to see his overlord's work in action, and a chance to finally steer Sougo back on the path of Oma-Zio.

-........Oh my god I forgot we got Sougo's Dream this early. I'll save my proper thoughts on it for another time but like. I hate it so much. Just feels very....weird, as a motive.

-Anyway! Sougo and Oma-Zio! I really enjoy Oma-Zio's face is hidden, almost like his godlike power is blinding. Him counterattacking with the same Riders Sougo was using (Was that a vilon I spy during him using the Kiva Ridewatch?) On my inital watch, I think one of my main complaints was that I could never actually see this Sougo turning into the ridiclously evil Oma-Zio, but now....I get it? Intentions lost to the sands of time and all that, and no people like Geiz/Tsukuyomi to steer him back into the right direction, etc, etc, etc.

-Really looking forward to next episode, I think it was a favorite of mine on the inital watch.
