Episode 18!

-Yeahhh pretty much agree with you, this episode pushes *a lot* to the backburner, it's more of a "White Woz introduction(Please buy the Beyonddriver! :-))" arc than a "Another Shinobi" arc. (Maybe they felt bad with White Woz taking center focus so they gave Rentaro the Rider Time special, lol)

-Kinda love Woz being on the ropes, it's really a nice contrast after last arc, where he was scheming and confident in his plans. The way he just runs into frame at the beginning of the episode, like he was too busy worrying about history changing that he almost forgot to do the intro, it's fun stuff.

-I think I really prefer the idea of Future Another Riders as a MOTW format, in comparison to the standard tributes? I just feel like the idea of focusing on the sometimes terrifying, sometimes exciting potential of the future has for a person fits the season a bit better? (Ik our standard MOTWs sorta already do that, but I just like having cool "What If?"-style Riders around lol)

-Just love how Geiz immediately does not trust White Woz and doesn't want an ounce of help from him. He's still Woz, after all!

-Not important in the slightest but I love Tsukuyomi's coat and how well the cape draped over it looks. We stan a fashion icon.

-The Time Mazine couldn't get to Alternate 2022, but Swartz could just fine? An interesting distinction.
