I'm a little behind but I can't wait to talk about the Quiz arc when I get too it but for now here my (very late!) thoughts on Episode 17

So I love the Future Riders they're one of my favorite concepts to come out of ZI-O just giving "tribute" to season from the future was honestly a stroke of genius on the writer's part because to me feels this feels like it allows ZI-O to tell its own stories for once unrestrained by the past and this also felt like when the writers started to take time to see the feedback and adjust things back when we inevitably go back to Legend Rider tributes. Plus I really dig the vibes we got for this second arc; now onto Shinobi himself, I'm pretty sure I fell instantly in love with him as soon as I laid eyes on that suit and seeing him in action was the best way to kick things off for ZI-O. With the reveal of Ohma Day it gives the show a more concrete goal imo as before it was just Sougo becomes Ohma ZI-O in the future but now having it be set within somewhere in 2019 gives a bit more of a sense of urgency and greater grasp of what the cast is doing. And finally let's talk about our other big thing this episode White Woz and boy oh boy I have got to give props to Woz's actor Keisuke Watanabe for being able to play the types of subtle evil with the similar but different characters, I love all the different mannerism's that both is very Woz like but also somehow wrong. And the BeyondDriver standby loop is an absolute banger, and it was even my ringtone for an entire year, so I have to mention this.
