An episode where two people with a lot of subtext spend much of it fighting each other aired alongside the Donbrothers episode where two guys dating the same girl calmly and rationally discuss their relationships with her.



Also boy, the show sure made a big deal of Sakura going off on her own road, only to go back to Ikki really fast. The IRL reason of course, is that the writers changed their minds on the intended plot line for that route (that she’d become a revolutionary for Weekend, who’d come to blows with both of her brothers). But on the other hand, it turns out “ignoring the exact thing people want help with” in favour of offering them generic assistance runs in the family.

Karizaki: Hello, Professor Karizaki here, taking back the project I started, the Stamp Navi.

George: Hey, Daddy. I’ve been seeing this feature through to this point, so there’s no way you’re doing this without me.

Karizaki: If you insist. Anyway, let’s get around to discussing today’s Vistamp.

Tricera!

Triple Horn! Tricky Battle! Tricera! Awaken! Three-horned Dinosaur!

Karizaki: With the aid of the latest weapons technology created by Namba Heavy Industries, Tricera Genome has a powerful charging attack that can break through anything.

George: Given that it announced “Awaken! Three-horned Dinosaur!”, I can guess what Legend you based this one on.

Karizaki: That’s right, I kept to your aesthetic. If it had been mine, this would’ve been based on Sharivan.

Desire Driver: Agito!

Shouichi: Henshin!

George: Kamen Rider Agito, the next stage in humanity’s evolution, manifesting in those with psychic powers. The current Agito, Shouichi Tsugami, awakened in the aftermath of his sister’s death.

“Awaken, that soul!”

Karizaki: The last good Rider.

George: What? Ryuki was right after him?

Karizaki: And that show sucked balls.

George: Just for that, the next new Rider I make, I’m giving him the Ryuki Vistamp. Talking of Vistamps, which Rider will use this one?

Karizaki: Well, given the factors involved, and which Riders are in need of additional abilities…

(Sakura pokes her head in)

Sakura: Please, he has a dead sister. You’re just going to give it to me.

George: You’re going to give it to Sakura.

Karizaki: (without hesitating) I’m going to give it to Sakura, alright? Are you happy?

Sakura: If it’ll help me save Aguilera’s soul, than yes.

Karizaki: Ah, we’ll have to leave that until the next instalment. We hope you enjoy that.

Random note: Some customiser on Twitter actually guessed that the Tricera Genome would be Agito-based months before this was announced. He even correctly guessed the phrase that would be used for the pun (though his pun was “Awaken Dino Soul!”)
