Yeah this is mostly my sticking point with the Final Episode Special Forms.

This trend technically started with Build and kind of continued with Zi-O, but we're starting to sort of get into a true pattern of sorts with Reiwa as they solidified how it works. Like how after the true mid-season upgrade arrives, there's a clipshow.

Like, Realizing Hopper is basically just Rising Hopper but with the highest stats for the Zero-One Driver. Part of me makes it feel like they invented it purely so that Zero-One could stand next to Zero-Two without a big noticeable power gap. But it doesn't really have much going for it regardless.

Meanwhile Almighty Saber definitely eased my worries when we saw it in action. Because it's not just Brave Dragon but better, it's Saber accessing the power of all the Wonder Ride Book stories while also allowing Blades and Espada to use them. Which is why I was fine with it.

So if we do get LiveRevi DevilVice (Which let's face it, we're 3 for 3 on clipshow placements I would not be surprised if we do get it), I do hope they come up with an interesting gimmick that isn't just Rex Genome but better. I'd like them to lean into more crazy stuff like they did with Almighty Saber.
