Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 23 "Take the Field! Kachidoki Arms!"

Powerman293 · 03-26-2014, 11:48 PM

DJ Sagara, what are you? You know blonde Mai and keep appearing out of nowhere. You're an Overlord aren't you?

Anyways, good episode. The only minor complaint I had was Kouta got a little teary eyed and not into full breakdown like I expected.

Ryoma, how about instead of complaining, you get up off your ass and become Duke and kick some ass! You too Micchy, you haven't been relevant as a Rider in awhile either.

Kachidoki is such an amazing form. It follows all of the rules of an amazing final form and its not even the final form. Mixing and extending of the various motifs to a near balance of elements to create a perfect fusion? Check. Epic armor bulk and badassery? Check. Kick ass pool of powers and weapons? Check. Badass first fight? Check. Haven't seen his finishers yet but I hope they are really good. the only thing missing is everyone standing around in awe at the new power.

I wouldn't say that Kachidoki is the best upgrade form debut but it's one of the better ones.

Gaim already feels like its in the 30s even though its only episode 23.

Holy crap that new form is freaking AMAZING!!! And that gun is just awesomesauce all around.

How does this show keep blowing away my expectations?

Well, this was a brilliant episode. While it seems Kota has no allies left apart from Zack (who does nothing), he gets DJ Sagara show up, and do just what he needs. And give him a gun with a DJ table on it to shoot out Clonokages and Dandelinders. And he beats Melon Energy pretty handily. Especially with his new purpose of Screwing Yggdrasil over and showing them they're wrong. I still really like Takatora though, even if Kaito's a massive buthole and everyone else seems to make us want to hate them.

Kouta didn't beat Shin Zangetsu. He didn't beat shit. All he did was beat a bunch of genericlones.

Whoopdie-fucking-doo.

He may not have beat him in a straight fight, but he took out his Scalar System. And considering Kota almost died to this guy 20 episodes ago, that's a big improvement.

You mean he shot a bunch of giant immobile targets, and ran from the guy not five episodes ago he held his own against, all with an invincible new power up?

Boy does he he deserve a medal.

It's amazing how poor Ygadrassil's defences are. Like you could literally just use a plane, fly over, shoot the Scalar system and fly off. It's pretty lame.

SPLIT LIP · 03-29-2014, 04:01 PM

That's exactly what he did. Just replace plane with stupid CGI flying bike garbage.

exactly! It really undermined what should have been an epic moment. This shows production values really aren't its strong point, even if the designs are solid.

...They had lasers to protect it, I guess. Plus he was angry that last time. Anger gives you power from the Dark Side
