Despite its flaws, Revice delivered a great finale.

It's kind of nice and refreshing to see the final battle not be one of good vs evil, but two close companions have fun and make some nice memories with each other before they part ways. I genuinely enjoyed this episode, and all of the early victims appear, heck the previous episode too if I'm honest (Except for the return of fart joke).

Looking back, Revice had a strong debut. It was a unique way that fit for what Revice wanted to do, but as others have stated, they did kind of muck it up a bit in the middle. Sometimes it was padded out, sometimes things didn't work as well as they should have, sometimes I even didn't want to tune in that week (not all of the times I delayed watching Revice since most of the time I just had no time). But what it set out to do still had so many great things, despite all the times I didn't enjoy it.

Heck. Everyone was dreading Vice, and yet here I am, loving the character (shocking, I know). At first, we thought he'd be Momotarou 2.0, but he did become his own character. My only grievance with him is that this show didn't feel as much like it was about two as one Kamen Rider, but more like Revi and his sidekick Vice, which the middle of the show made too obvious. It's probably the one thing this show failed, which brings it back to the point about it having not managed the middle parts better.

Memories, family, demons, these things are things this show stuck by and even if there were so many times the show had its lows, they still managed to pull them off in a satisfactory way. And that's about all I can ask for.

So, in conclusion: Revice laid out great groundwork, but struggled to keep it up as long as they did.

I'd say so far, Saber might actually be my favorite Reiwa Season, with Zero-One bouncing between first and second, while Revice sits on third. But I will give it this, it sits on third proudly. It might not be one I'd rewatch, but it still had so many things I think it did better than even the two I like better.

Also, Geats cameo. He really reminds me of Gai from Zero-One. Also, I still adore the belt's voice.
