I like how the chest stamp conveniently aligns with Bima's emblem.

Things such as him having cuts and bruises from the fights he gets in. And while none of the content is especially graphic, the implications brought on by the various scenes of the Kombatmen attacking(they totally beheaded a few people in that crowd) really help sell the threat of the Vudo Empire.

We get our first monster of the week here too, known as the Lizarion Monster. This thing was just plain gross in terms of design(like the way it slurped up the basketball player), but I felt that the fights it had with Bima were really well choreographed. And of course the sass that it gave Iron Mask made for a really fun character moment.

Yeah, like the Showa and early Heisei Rider Eras this franchise takes inspiration from, VUDO don't hold back on killing civilians and some of the MOTWs have particularly nasty and cruel ways of doing it as well. Their memorable personalities also remind me of the Phantoms from Wizard, the concurrently airing Rider show.

Otherwise the finisher name, "Blue Storm!", wouldn't make any sense, haha. Symbolically, I think the blue is a softer color to represent what that side of Helios is used for, to separate human hosts, while the red side aggressively explodes MOTWs. Ironically, Build RabbitTank would later use this symbolism, but with the colors reversed.
