[Frontier]

Tokime and Rentaro are on the run from Dopants, but while it's one thing to avoid them, it's another thing to outrun them.

Now it makes sense why Rentaro got so involved. He didn't want his machines contributing to terrorists or to the deaths of others again.

Gotta love Tokime's newfound confidence in moving on from whatever her past is and willing to take the fight to the bad guys! She's really grown a lot this season!

You know it's a proper Rider finale when they do the title card and bits of the theme song! Of course they bring it back for the final battle so it's suitably epic.

This series had so many fanservice moments with the ladies, but here's buck-naked Nikaido with his six pack!

So basically this wasn't about traveling to Shadow Fuuto, they were building a machine to control Nikaido's powers since as a High Dope his Reactor abilities seep into his human form and needs to be contained for him to properly live. Dude can shoot eye-beams! Although while the process itself is harmless, Nikaido being able to use his powers normally still means bad things for Fuuto.

Nothing quite like a save from the Xtreme Memory as Shotaro and Philip arrive heroically to save Tokime and Rentaro. And Terui makes short work of the device which ticks Nikaido off almost as much as Philip explaining how he figured everything out.

Gunner A! Man, I almost forgot about it. I can't even remember the last time they showed it, but they sure got a lot of mileage out of it here.

Henshin straight into Xtreme! And one last "Now, Count Up Your Sins!" and now we're ready for the final battle of this season as Accel deals with the Road Grunts.

A beam war would've been cool, at least until Nikaido used Tokime as a hostage, but it's not a proper Kamen Rider finale without a Rider Kick as W uses the Prism Memory to deliver a vicious series of kicks against Reactor and breaks his container, making him explode. Bonus points for W doing all this while princess carrying Tokime. That's got to be the most romantic Rider Kick ever.

Utopia Dopant cameo! I guess that also kind of foreshadowed Foundation X being involved.

Wow, I really thought Nikaido was straight up dead, but with the last of his power he sacrifices himself to stop the heroes from getting into Shadow Fuuto. He may have been a bad guy, but his loyalty and dedication to Bando was true, and I guess it was fitting Bando was there for him in his last moments.

So Tokime is apparently not the Joker Dopant. Does that mean we won't get to see her transform? And was she intended to be the Joker Dopant, she just never used it? Just more questions. Although it was priceless how she checked her cleavage for the memory port and they presumably stripped her off-screen to check to make sure it wasn't anywhere else in her body...after the boys left of course.

Bando was involved with Foundation X? That does not surprise me. Though nothing in the book seems to mention any relation he might have with Tokime.

Tokime wants to know everything as she faces her mysterious past, and basically wants to watch Kamen Rider W, but for now Shotaro is going to recount Begin's Night to her as they have a romantic moment together at night in the same spot where their feelings for each other started to brew. Pretty solid ending all things considered.

Somebody was watching the WizardxGaim movie to do everybody as Sengoku Era characters...and they all look pretty good! And we end on Hosoya finally getting to say "Oi, Akiko!"
