I mentioned back in episode 28 how the show had instilled a lot of faith in me, so I was actually letting myself be optimistic and looking forward to whatever plot machinations they had with White Woz and the Time Jackers. They just did a whole lot of teasing about how he's got some kind of ulterior motivations beyond wanting to 'save the future'.

And just one two-parter later, they erase the guy. Wow. It's almost hilarious how quickly the show changed it's mind on that. Wasn't he kind of major character too, for how long he was around? And now we just nonchalantly shuffle him off into nonexistence now that we don't need him... Not pleased with that!

And after that we have Oma Zi-O open a zoom call to tell our heroes (and the audience) that we are absolutely going back to the collecting the remaining Ridewatches and doing tribute episodes for all of them. And I am probably the only person who watched this scene, who was not happy about that.

It was probably really foolish of me in hindsight to think this, but I had figured the show was done with the episodes dedicated to legacy riders, or at least done with the very strict format it had in the first fourteen episodes, and that the Ryuki and Blade stuff was just fun little extra diversions mixed in because they just happened to be available. I only really started getting invested in Zi-O when it stopped doing all that, so for the show to explicitly declare that they're going right back? I'm not exaggerating when I say all the excitement that had been built up in me over the last several weeks worth of episodes just deflated in an instant.

But like, obviously I didn't just immediately dropped the show or anything! Even if I was a little (or a lot) disheartened by what I was seeing, there's really no way to know what the future holds. For example, I'm looking forward to whatever the future of this thread and your write-ups will be.

They have to finished the legend riders. The Anniversary will be incomplete if the won't do it.
