[Switchblade]

The final throwdown between Ikki and Vice is one of my favorite final battles in all of Kamen Rider, possibly just behind Kenzaki and Hajime's last confrontation. A lot of it comes down to the fact that I'm a pet guy; I've had some combination of dogs and cats for most of my life. Last year was actually pretty rough, in fact, because I had to put my cat to sleep - it'll be a year to the day in a couple weeks, actually. There's a lot that resonates me with Ikki taking Vice to the park for one last play before the end.

The stakes are basically nonexistent. Nobody is in danger, nothing needs saving, this is just Ikki and Vice having one last, glorious day together. It's probably not a scene that works that well for everybody, but it's something that I absolutely relate to and I will always appreciate it as the show's final action sequence, even after Vice is inevitably revived for a movie (assuming that hasn't already happened).
