I really hated this episode. Like a lot a lot.

Pointless filler, complete waste of time. Especially because of the placement.

you know.. if sagara really wanted to help kaito keep up with kouta, woudn't it be better if he just gave him a new lockseed rather than sending him to an alternate universe. I mean he gave kouta the kachidoki lockseed why not do the same with kaito?

Because reasons.

But yeah, something I always hate is when the main character is the one that always gets the focus/upgrades. I know it is a major trope with..well pretty much all Japanese media like this (I was just reading a discussion about the different Digimon anime the other night where people mentioned how it's always the main character (or main couple of characters) that always end up with the biggest upgrades or being able to digivolve the furthest, and it gets to the point that it's basically all about them rather than the entire core group of characters).

He wasn't the one that sent him to the alternate world, though. It was the silver apple... guy. It was just coincidence that it happened whilst Sagara was trolling Kaito.

Loved it simply for the cleaner version of the Kiwami theme.

That dose bother me too, but in a show where they are limited on suits they can make (Gaim really pushing it) a season and only so many main line toys it does make sense the main character gets the biggest power up. I gust wished they used the Arms Change Line (which I love) a little better so other riders can get a big upgrade that comes with Gaim in some way that doesn't break the rules of the show, or at lest had the Drivers on pegs so one could switch the drivers of different riders like a Genesis Dirver with a Sengoku with out unscrewing the toy

Cliffhanger ending on whether or not a main character died? Next episode is a movie ad.

This. Would have enjoyed the hell out of this episode, but going from probably the biggest event in this show thus far to 20 minute movie trailer is quite annoying.

I really like football anyway but I thought this was a legitimately good episode. Zenith grows on me a little more every episode, the special effects and action choreography ironically lend themselves much better to football than actual fights and there were some of the funniest moments in the whole series in here. Baron really is growing into a great character for me, just in how they play off his established character in comedy scenes.

Yes! When Kaito kicks the ball and completely misses, and then just doesn't say anything and tries to act like nobody saw it was pure comedy gold
