But then again, Bravo looks more like a soldier.

Well that's a bit harsh, isn't it?

Didn't see Gridon and Kurokage coming, until Jonouchi got handed an Acorn, anyway.

I know one of this series' goals was to break away from the "two-Rider" thing, but it almost seems like overkill introducing 7 Riders in 6 episodes.
Almost, mostly it's just awesome and exciting, like the show in general.

I can totally see Kurokage or Bravo ending up being Gaim's very own Scissors, though, too many Riders at once could easily lead to cluttered writing. But it does help the whole Warring States theme, I suppose.

Be cool if the end was indeed one big battle between all of the riders.

They share the same actor but I don't think they're the same character

An amazing episode. Kouta's "deciding to be Gaim again" moments were well-played and you just felt like he had renewed energy as he broke through the ring and attacked Baron. And Michy looks to be a decent ally to Gaim, but no where near the same power.

You could say that this is the one instance where bringing a gun to a sword fight isn't all it's cracked up to be

Well, the thing does fire grapes as a part of its finisher. It's a miracle that it's as lethal as it is.

Maybe if they're SOUR GRAPES lololol right?

That makes me wonder...when Mitsuzane gets older, does that mean his Rider form will have a raisin motif?

Kiryu · 11-11-2013, 09:33 PM

Well I liked that in a pinch, Miichy turned his gun over and started using it as a tonfa.
