Episode 4

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD!

This episode was quite the surprise in alot of ways, as it manages to do some twists on the Toku formula that I didn't expect.

Most prominently, a good majority of the episode is actually from the point of view of a photographer, who actually isn't the victim of the week(though he does get his wallet stolen).

The sound design was greatly improved in this one too, which really helped sell the overall atmosphere of the episode, which is definitely needed given the master plan involves the Hypno Toad hypnotizing people into jumping off of buildings and walking infront of oncoming trains! Good lord!

Other highlights include Ray asking Mikhail if Mikhail is at all connected to the Vudo Empire's' initial attack 21 years ago, with Mikhail dodging the question entirely(meaning he's totally connected somehow), and social media going crazy over Bima, which might make this the first Toku to ever have that sort of element as a part of its story?

Oh, and this is also the first episode of the show's' first two-parter, so I guess this really is a Kamen Rider show!
