Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 44 "The Futures They Each Seek" Discussion

2ndSndWve · 09-08-2014, 08:36 PM

I loved this episode. The war from the opening of the show is not used as the actual ending, but still acknowledged in a way that makes sense (WAY better than what Decade tried to do). I've been waiting for a Bravo vs. Marika fight for a long time, and it was so cool to see that finally happen. Too bad it ended kinda abruptly. Also, looks like Zack's making his was into the spotlight, and every time I see Overlord Kaito he looks even cooler.

If what most people are saying about Micchy being the hero of Gaim, I wonder how Micchy will become the hero in the end?

Unless someone Rider Kicks God in a forest, it's not really Agito-ish.

Agito Rider-kicked God?

I'm feeling that Micchy will come to Kouta's aid during a fight with Kaito, Yoko, and Zack. It works as a redemption, and it at least places him somewhere now that there are only two parties at play. That does feel very cliché though.

First, a few points.

- Kaito's actions have always been suspiciously altruistic, even if he excused them with his philosophy.
- He could have easily killed Oren and Jounouchi, but he didn't, even though it would have made sense to.
- Then, we have his talk about Mai in this episode.

You want to know what I think? I think Kaito wants Kouta to beat him and take the Golden Fruit and Mai. He knows that there's no point for him and his philosophy after having seen what happened to the Overlords, but also knows that he's the only obstacle stopping a peaceful world. He wants Kouta to defeat him so that Kouta can change the world so that people like him don't need to exist.

Well, that's my thoughts. I'm probably just rambling or reading too much into things though.

I'd believe that. Just because Kaito's sudden shift from believing earth should be taken over by Helheim so it becomes a world where strength really decides instead of 'weaklings' ruling the earth to becoming Michy 2.0. where he will sacrifice everyone else for Mai is way too jarring.

And Tsukasa gave a glare of fiery contempt toward Agito. And Agito's head sank, for he knew he preformed such a kick."

Think Zack's Trap is to destroy Kaito's Sengoku Driver once and for all. It'd stop him from Henshin and Feedin' after all (Not sure he knew the food part from Kouta)
I think it fails thanks to Yoko but you can see the blade of Kaito's drive away from the ground on the floor (in-preview) so you can see my point

Some one could rider kick the forest and become god, that is in the realm of possibilities, right?
