Special Time! Mystery Edition!

-I like how all the members of the game are all Rider cast alumni? I mean, there's the obvious Zi-O rep, Yusuke, Sid and Bravo's actors.....but then we have the actors for old guy who was the MOTW for Kabuto's doctor arc, and Mizuki from Amazons? (And to add on top of this, I'm pretty sure this is that one place from Kabuto where someone was kidnapped for for a bit?) It's a really fun decision.

-Speaking of! Yusuke, nice to see you again! (even if it technically isn't you we know!) I know the other two members of the DCD quartet tend to get lost in the dust in terms of post-show rep (despite both being Riders....) But man, seeing Kivala near the end makes me wish we actually did get Natsumikan's actress back in some Zi-O content, even if for a fairly small role.

-Do like how it's a fairly standard death game drama for two episodes, and then the third episode.....Happens. The ridicilous amount of blood for Heure's death to make up for our fairly tame V-Cin, the silly way Sougo dies, the ridiculous "well, actually I'm-!" reveals, Narutaki being the mastermind, For Whatever Reason.....

-I Mean. On one hand, Oma Zi-O being alive depsite Everything makes sense(as along as Sougo exists, so does he), but like......I don't like it here? Like personally I interpereted the end of Zi-O with him conceding to the kind of the future Sougo wants for himself, so why are you seemingly up to no good again? Oma Zi-O is only a fun antagonist *as long as* Sougo is sitting in the protagonist seat, but he's not really here, so it's really weird?

-I enjoyed it parts of it, but it's not particularly a favorite of mine.
