Fish Sandwich also watched Kamen Rider Saber Episode 8

While 5 was definitely still the bar to clear for me early on, this was the next episode I recall particularly liking at the time, and I like it even more now, having seen the whole show, because doing this story at this point in time just feels so quintessentially Saber? Like, I don't know, a lot of times I'd be right there criticizing pacing decisions and stuff with the rest of you. As someone who fell in love with this franchise thanks to shows like Kuuga and Faiz, I've long wished some of these newer series would just slow the heck down already, but when it comes to Saber? I'm telling you, it's gotta be this way, man -- or at least, I'd never ask it to be any other way. I have an immense soft spot for Dragon Arthur as a form, which no doubt helps, but the whole narrative here with the swordsmen truly coordinating on a more active level than they had to this point really did it for me. Saber is the kind of bizarre Rider show where the characters can reach this point this early on, and I don't want to understate how major a part of the appeal that is to me. Stuff like this is what makes Saber weird, and what makes Saber weird is what makes it special.
