Yeah maybe. I can't think of any other toy pushbikes, I'd consider purchasing a Beast just to have him in sweet pushbike poses on my shelf

I do find it funny that the most amount of bike action this series has had was on a pushbike and from the secondary Rider.

I'm going to miss Beast when this is over. Sure Wizard has its flaws, but all series have them too and he's just a fun character.

Figuarts are around 6 inches, correct? Maybe there's pushbikes made in that scale.

I personally don't see the hype around Beast. He is a likeable character but people act like he saved the series, I personally think he feels like a spare part most of the time and most of his character development goes nowhere.

It doesn't help that he suffers from shitty secondary Rider upgrade syndrome.

Not a great episode, not a terrible episode. I haven't really hated the gates like every single other person seems to, but this one was a bit more likable than a lot of the others. I do think it is a touch of a copout to have Mayu use the generic rider suit from the movie, but meh, I've never gotten behind the "we have to have a female rider because we've never had a female rider" thing either, if we get one that's fine, if not then..oh well.

Just because you were in love with Wizard from the get go doesn't mean everyone else was.
Beast was what kept me going

I guess I just feel about OOO as you do about Wizard. Although if OOO makes a whole episode dedicated to bicycle riding I won't be giving it a 5/5, it'll still be getting a zero.

AND that said, Date doesn't feel like a spare part, he is crucial to the series and his character does actually develop and stay there. Beast just feels kinda forced and tacked on, I think we'd have been fine without him, at least in show. Entertainment outside of the show is a different kettle of fish.

Without the generic (and ugly) Mage outfit that they gave to Mayu I would've given this Excellent and another 5 stars on top of it. The cop-out really diminishes what is otherwise a good episode. The gate is a likeable kid who has a crush on an older girl and wants to impress her with his bikeriding skills, only to be foiled by the Phantom (who is weird looking but actually pretty powerful) and is despaired when he sees the girl he likes is hurt. Anyways Mayu will be doing more next week so I am looking forward to it.

Barricade64 · 06-27-2013, 06:40 PM

Was that Decade's Kiva as the gate in this episode? Glad to see Mayu back, I do wish she had her own design and not the generic one. Budget I guess, and it's a female rider in the show so I can't complain too much.

Also, shame on you all, 4 pages of discussion and nobody has posted this yet:

Matrixbeast · 06-27-2013, 06:48 PM

Nah, it's a different kid.
