Wizard isn't a bad show, in fact I think it's been getting steadily better since Kousuke showed up. The Phoenix arc was good and the last storyline with Medusa was great. And while Shunpei may never stop being an annoying dick, he does at least start toning it down (and occasionally he actually manages to be funny).

In any case, it's way the hell better than Faiz, which is probably the overall weakest Rider series (unless you really, really love melodrama).

Yeah, Faiz is the better of the two. At least Faiz's characters are more than one dimensional.

This. Nothing is worse than Faiz.

Can't agree with you there. Faiz characters may not be one dimensional but they are ridiculously uncommunicative when it comes to plot.

At least Faiz has a plot. That's more than I can say about Wizard.

I think Den-O's better than both, especially now that Revolutionary has encountered this mysterious purple spirit that's been dwelling inside him. Kind of reminds my of the purple core medals from OOOs. Weird homage or just happenstance? Also I guess the sword form armour has always just had that purple stuff under the chest. Afterall the belt just happened to have the same coloured buttons as all the spirits that happen to posess him.

I was thinking about that last night. It bothered me when I watched the show, and it still bothers me. I think those buttons should have been grey until he formed the contacts with the Imagins, then they could take on the correct colors. Just like Plat Form.
In my head-cannon that's what really happened.

I actually felt the same way
It would've been pretty cool for the belt to have initially grey buttons.

But then that leads to the issue that the toy would have 4 multicolored buttons while the belt on TV would have 1 red button and 3 grey buttons for like, 4 weeks (Ura appears in ep 4, right?), that's not even accounting for the other 2...

[SPLIT LIP]

It would've been cooler if the imagin's colours were determined by the belt. Since having the buttons match his form colours makes sense, and Imagin start off as grey sand people. It would've made more sense if the Imagin's appearences were decided by the belt. That way they only became part of it when they were attached to whatever form. Afterall, the forms are all built into the armour, so it was always going to have red, blue, yellow and purple forms, and all the Imagin arrived in the order the buttons were on the belt. That makes more sense to me given Den-O's rather grounded approach to form-swapping and the Imagin's mystical properties.

Also is purple guy seriously just named the same as car Ramrod? That's confusing.

EDIT: Oh God that rallying by Red guy, Leonardo and Rhinobear may have been the funniest thing this show has done. These guys are solid gold.

Purple guy? You mean Ryuutaros?
