[Enchilada645]

It's a weird episode in how exactly they solve the Kagerou problem.

But like you said, the stuff surrounding said solving the problem is all pretty solid. There's a bunch of fun bits here, Hiromi actually being a big softie despite his hard cold demeanor, Sakura and Aguilera's little meeting, Vice's fourth wall breaking at the beginning actually coming into play in how he exactly told Ikki that Daiji was okay.

Also Live! A lot of people don't like the Live suit? And I mean if you had to follow up Evil I get it. But I enjoy it, he has this like battle priest-style to him and he uses a gun! But also I have to say that the transformation setup into Live is the most hilariously long one I've seen in Rider for a while.

Like, you stamp the pad, set the stamp in, flip it from blade to gun mode, draw it out then Henshin. It's needlessly complicated yet I kind of adore it?

Speaking of stuff I found funny. The pacing when it comes to the big confrontation at the end, mostly at the beginning. You have Hiromi starting up his transformation only to cut to an entirely different scene with the Demons jingle just ending immediately. It's such a weird awkward cut, especially since I'm pretty sure during broadcasting... there was no commercial break between those two scenes.

Also we get our 10th Genome this week, Brachio! Which is a Zi-O form because... idk I guess? I think the thing I like about this suit is how bulky and almost Oma it feels in shape, especially with the extra long watch strap going down the middle.
