I think Gou/Kiriko can move a bit faster than normal one in advanced Slow Down due to Shift Cars/Signal Bikes
They may follow the same track of Kabuto's Clock Up, again, too much flashy effects just came and dissappeared in random episodes. When Gou was in Slow Down for the first time, he acted so poor that most people who watch without subs should thought that he just pretending. The part with Shark Bullet (?) is really random for sure.
At least this time Medic failed to recover her allies, which is good for me, having "doctor" roles in one side kinda fell cheating.

Definitely a step up from two weeks ago, but not a huge one. The show is still painfully unfunny and Gou is a total douchebag. I was a little surprised by how nice it was to have the show back, though; I missed these characters over the break more than I thought I would. Shinnosuke and Kiriko, in particular, had some good scenes this week.

As for Kamen Rider Maha's big debut solo battle (why is it not pronunced Maku, exactly?), well it was garbage. The editing was incredibly bad, his powers are monumentally stupid, and it was just him standing there swapping out collectable toy gimmicks while the villains ran around in circles. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it made me miss the DJ Gun close-ups from Gaim. I never thought I'd see something that was even more clunky and obnoxious. Thanks for proving me wrong, I guess.

Despite everyone almost hate Gou for no reason

I will still watching because I want to know if Kiriko get mad at Mr. Belt for let Gou become Kamen Rider without knowing.

You know, when he first appear in Gokaiger, No one like Gai Ikari similar to Gou because both of annoying sometime.

How a character got a hateful response by Rider Fan but yet, His Suit design got well received? Why?

I don't hate him, He's not Shunpei! Thank god! I think in my own opinion, I think Gou should be Deadpool of Kamen Rider because think about it, back in 1980s. I think no one care about Deadpool because he was Deathstroke-type character but he become a fan favorite character.

Maybe someday Gou could get a character development

I don't hate Gou for no reason. I hate Gou for many reasons: he's obnoxious, he's a clown, he's aggressively trying to make Shinnosuke's life more difficult, he's butting into all of the police's business, and he's kind of a dick to his sister.

Because the suit isn't the character. Just because a Rider suit looks cool, that doesn't mean the user can't be a complete twat. There are plenty of Riders out there that I've thought had cool suits but were awful characters. Just off the top of my head there's Tiger, Delta, most of TheBee's users, the entire cast of Kiva, and, of course, the single greatest fuckwad in the history of Kamen Rider and wearer of one of my all-time favorite suits: Kaixa.

Man, I hope so. It does look like he has some secret that Shinnosuke is picking up on.

Duh, I loved Gai from beginning to end and he's my favorite Gokaiger. Stop generalizing opinions like that.

As for me, my major problem is that Gou is so over the top that I don't know exactly were to put him. I usually like excentric characters but he's a bit to much of pretty much everything. Not that fond of his rider form either.

[Kiwami]

I liked this episode, Gou seems to fit in now and if he get's some more development it's fine.

But now for the interesting part: Chaser! It's good that they develop him now and don't try to keep this secret that everyone over the age of 5 already figures out a while ago.

We know he'll get some update later in the show so it's interesting to see how his role will change over the next episodes.

[Tenebrous]

Hmm. This episode significantly improved my opinion of Gou - a lot more actual personality, less wacky hijinks but he's still definitely in need of some character development.

What does Signal Kiken even do though? It randomly summons some giant bullet bill with ill-defined abilities?

Apparently. Given the heavy CGI investment, though, I wouldn't expect to see this one very often.

The episode was better watching it the second time but I still just voted average. There were good elements in it but as much scenes that dragged it down again. The worst thing besides the "editing comedy" has to be though the slowdown acting. It looked so hilariously bad when they were just moving slower than normal. During the fight scene at the end I couldnt even tell if Gou was just pretending to be slower just so he could be a dick to the Roidmudes. The whole Rinna being jealous bit felt pretty tacked on too. Yeah she was always kinda flirty with Shinnosuke but her whole attitude this episode felt kinda off to me.

My favorite part of the Episode was Gous fight scene until he used all his Signal Bikes. That was the worst kind of toy promotion I have seen in Rider for a loooong time. I still have hopes for Gou to develop into a pretty flashy cool dude and not just some dick that does backflips all the time.
His roll call is just the greatest thing for me and I dont want this wasted on such a poor character.

[Kamen Rider Vega]

I think that this was great as always mostly because I like how silly gou is. I also like that he just automatically thought," My sister is dating the kamen rider. " and rinna was jealous. I did think that the whole kiriko and gou acting like they were slowed was meh but I could careless about that
