Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 18: "Farewell, Beat Riders" Discussion

Oh, I doubt Bravo's going anywhere anytime soon. He may be silly, but he's still formidable. The show has never wavered in that regard.

I don't know where people are getting that he's more silly/less serious than he was before. He's had a pretty even balance of those qualities in my opinion. He's always been kind of slapstick with a hint of badass.

I see Oren as a comic relief/threat. He can be silly but you know he's deadly already. Just the only reason he's being beaten so easily is because of the Jinba upgrade for Gaim. But he and Gaim are even when he doesn't have the upgrade on, so the fight can go either way.

Plus it finally looked to curb that whole "WE HATE THE DANCERS" subplot that wasn't working.

I'm not sure where you're getting "filler" from. We had a new Rider introduced and resolution to the dance team subplot. I don't think there's been an episode of Gaim yet with absolutely no plot or character advancement.

I was almost sure that when Junouchi pulled the switch on their music, the Rider Girls would start singing for the teams.

I would not have minded that.

Or more Kamen Rider Girls/Team Pop-Up in general, though I know they aren't to everyone's taste.

1.) He clearly does, just subtley. You cna quite plainly see a slight movement that causes the reflection to move. Hold your face up to an oblong, reflective subject, and see how much the reflection changes with subtle movements. Then remember he's in a full suit of armour, on top of a bike, and the camera is panning.

2.) Did you not notice the locks get replaced with lock seeds? They re-shot the scene so they could show off all the lock seeds, verses the holdover shot from back in the first ep when there wasn't many and they didn't want to "spoil" us to future seeds.

And all this is not even to say the main point stands: there was never any new helmet.

I love Gaim, but if the Rider Girls show up I'm out.

Too late for that, considering they play one of the dance teams...
