You would not believe how stupid I looked freaking out when W-G-X started playing. From the moment I heard those notes, I was won over all over again.

Now, it's kind of standard Rider procedure to set up something and make it look like it points to one thing, only to have it be something else, but something about W just makes it more interesting given the detective/mystery nature, and the fact that Fuuto Tantei adds extra layers to the case, is something I enjoy. Not that it's a bad trend for Rider, but sometimes, it can get predictable without some extra seasonings.

And boy oh boy! If W's transformation and the Begins Night redux weren't amazing, the fight here was beautifully animated. Not only does the animation give more room for crazy stunts like the Road chase or Luna's elasticity, but I can almost see these play out in live action, especially the suits. And speaking of which, the fact that some of the Tokusatsu shooting locations like the fountain and the warehouse in Chuuta's flashback look (or are) straight out of those sites, which I love.

Now it's time for Daikaijuman's Memory Review Corner (not going to be an official segment)! Road uses heat and can create roads, which is pretty much exactly how roads are made, but what about the projectiles? They could refer to road planning, in which it sets a target to where to make one, or how sunlight bounces of the pavement, another use for the heat. (This was a dumb segment, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Ha ha.)

So now Tokime has joined the party! And stole Shoutarou's (hard-boiled decor) room. Like a lot of people, I too thought he lived with Phillip at the Agency, but maybe I'm also misremembering, but didn't we see his apartment somewhere before? Also, here's hoping Tokime doesn't go evil like all of his love interests, but since I've not read that far in the manga, and given her amnesia and Aurora's statement, that seems to be somewhat likely.

Also, that little segment at the end almost had Evangelion energy.
