Probably won't comment all the time, episode by episode threads can grow tiring after a while for numerous reasons.

But I will say this is a solid first episode from a character and mystery standpoint!

Action Wise, it's fun to sort of get a Kamen Rider that has an armor mechanic (unsure if it's just for Poppin Gummy form or if the rest will follow suit) in which it needs to be regenerated. And I'm curious to see if the sword mini-bike attack will come back more effective later on. It was a cute bit of comedy.

Also I've been sold on the Gochizos, they are basically the Pikmin mixed with the Little Green Men from Toy Story and that's just great.

Ngl though, feel like those are kind of superficial requirements. Especially when compared to the very good Kamen Rider core example of Shoma going "I may be a monster, but so are you!" to the Granute. Alongside him choosing to distance himself from the kid who helped him out and wandering off to his next adventure.

That exchange and those scenes alone were what hooked me into this episode and it honestly makes me wonder how exactly we'll be seeing Shoma obtain the title and name: Kamen Rider Gavv.
