Kamen Rider Fourze - Episodes 5 & 6!



So I'm in two minds about this. The moral is very clearly "To be someone's friend, you have to accept them as they are", which isn't necessarily bad. And Gentarou isn't going to pretend JK's not a dick, he's not that naive. But JK is just so cartoonishy a jerk! He steals the Elek Switch for no reason other then "Lol, lmao", and as Gentarou points out, he almost deserves what Ultraman Victory is about to do to him. But I'm willing to cut the kid some slack. He's seen how his version of life pays off (Being killed by a Unicorn), versus Gentaou's support network. He's got room to grow. I just hope he does, because "I'll let you abuse me becase I know you're like that but I'm your friend so I'll deal with it"... it's not a healthy mindset to instill in kids. I've seen that go nuclear before.

As for Elek States, it's fine. I'm not the biggest fan of yellow Fourze, but it does the job in being different enough and not looking overtly overpowered yet, considering we're only six episodes in. Granted, modern Rider shows would probably have like 5 new costumes in that time, but shush. Also, really liking Mio's dynamic here with Kengo and Yui.
