Burning Falcon's here! And it's a great suit (love how he was the prelude to the next Rider Season in a way), but also how it's a parallel to A.I.M.S.'s ShotRiders, both doubling as weapons and having "Kamen Rider" as their standby. Jin also gets a new look, which is kind of neat, I especially like how the Burning Falcon Progrise Key is shackled to his wrist, as though he's bound to his duty.

It may have been half a recap episode, but it was still a pretty good episode.

Now the Firefighter Arc, oh boy, do I love this one.

Almost the same reason as Die, it's just so much fun. From 119's (the Japanese 911) little jogs, to him just staring at the human firefighters' reactions to everyone they can save in the building. The cheering at the pretty girls on floor one, then stopping on the guys on floor two, THEN absolutely no reaction to floor three, with Fukuzue, once again, being the dead guy, and his partner just chanting "save me," while the secretary just stands there. That whole scene had me laughing.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it here, but the panicking reporter is none other than Akiko from W (I don't remember her actress, sorry), even using her catchphrase.

I do like how Homura isn't just going out against the Humagears, more like judging the performance and giving them a chance unlike some of the others, though to be fair, some of them were being told by Gai in order to rattle them up, while Homura has to focus on saving lives, meaning even corporate greed can't sway him from his duty. It is understandable to him, as a human, to not abandon even someone on the brink of death, to have beef with 119's actions, and it's also commendable that he didn't go Magia right then and there like the others. But as Die mentioned, this episode was just so much fun, that it almost doesn't matter.

You, sir. Are a man of integrity. I like that!

Not to knock on Yua, as she still has some great moments, so it's not as though she was completely wasted, I can understand the disappointment, but I don't despise her. I'll have more thoughts after we're finished on that subject.
