I love how in spite of getting beaten in his debut (Black) Woz still is smug as he wasn’t aiming to defeat Geiz, just slowing him down. It’s a type of debut I don’t normally see where it is not about shilling forms but about what it means for characters and how it used to affect the plot. Tsukasa playing judge is interesting. We've seen him as a resigned executioner and devious mastermind but never as one toa actively judge the worth of a world, And for all of his bluster Tsukasa is trying to aim for a brighter future for all. Also, the final scene with the ZI-O bike with 47 seconds of screen time is the least used bike in not just Heisei but Kamen Rider history lol.

Seeing Sougo and Geiz beaten up limping to each other for a “final fight” that there hearts aren’t really in it the empty parking lot, the early snow, how anxious Geiz is contrasting with how determined and resigned Sougo and his admittance as Sougo is his friend at the (unneeded) arrival of Another ZI-O and that barrage of all the Rider Armors wa sso cool since this was essentially a graduation from these form. The combination of Shippu speed in almost clock-up like manner comboed off ZI-O II future sight was great. But in the aftermath Sougo trying to move on with Hiryuu but him voutsinas the Another ZI-O watch refuses to break is a perfect symbolism. But it;s that final scene with all three as Tsukuyomi reunites with Sougo and Geiz it’s was so simple they didn’t have to fight after a dozen or so episodes of saying it will at the end of the day if the two warriors hearts aren't in it then don’t fight. And all we can do is laugh together at how silly we were.
