Baron really needs an upgrade soon. How did he evolve from a character I disliked to someone I'm actively rooting for now?

I like how Kouta has taken to putting on the orange and lemon lock seeds on at once to speed things up. Also the flip into henshin was pretty awesome. The fights in general were pretty awesome this episode though. The Duke suit's really grown on me, I dunno why I didn't like it as much as the others before.

I really wonder what Minato's trying to hide too. She seems pretty loyal to Sengoku, but who knows with her. It's like Sengoku said, everyone in Yggdrassil has a ulterior motive. Only Takatora seems to believe they're all in it for the greater good.

Kaito's pretty cool as a secondary rider, he's still aloof and respects Kouta more than he gets along with him, but he's willing to work together and not act like a dickish loner all the time, which is great.

The rematch between Gaim and Zangetsu was pretty fun. Finally Kouta and Takatora meet face to face and now Kouta's gonna find out what Micchy found out....next week. Damn. Glad things are kicking into high gear again. Also next week, we find out what the hell Sengoku's meeting with Kaito about.

This show really would work as a series of movies because these cliffhangers are killing me...Also Tulip Hopper Rider Kick is pretty great.

I'm surprised we're only at 19, given how much has happened already.

Meh.

I thought the episode started well, but then as the episode deteriorated into a poorly realised, and terribly animated toy commercial it kinda lost me. I'm really liking the Energy Riders, even if I'm so so on the suits, but I'm hating all these shitty looking lock vehicles, I thought this crap was for sentai.

I voted good just because I didn't like the water fight scene. They looked like they were about to fall over. Much like last week's battle during the dance, that was an uncharacteristicaly poor fight. Hell, Shin Zangetsu even charged his arrow with no effects over it. Though considering how boring I find Jinba Lemon, I was pretty happy to see him briefly forced back to regular Orange arms. Baron Watermelon was cool, but brief. People complain that Sigurd has been the only energy rider to lose, but that's only because he gets momentarily over-powered and his enemies run away. He's never actually been beaten before.

Everything else is par the pretty good course, but I'm REALLY excited for next week.

I must admit, I also find Jinba Lemon pretty boring.

I actually really like the energy riders as characters, but everyone using the same weapon is really dull, especially as they try hard to mix it up but that bow is just surprisingly lame when used as a melee weapon.

It was really satisfying to see Duke put down the bow and fight with his hands to mix it up for a change, and I was happy Sid used his bow smartly to try and offset that everyone has exactly the same powers now.

But I think the fight between Zangetsu and Gaim really highlighted just how boring it can be when everyone has the same powers. Especially when you compare it to how it was at the start when Zangetsu was wielding his shield like Captain America and Gaim was spinning around that pineapple flail.

I voted good, only because parts of the episode didn't really have me excited, though I am EXTREMELY excited for next week, and hopefully we can see what Micchy and Takatora saw.

I loved the Tulip Hopper and really makes me want it in Figuarts.

Seeing Duke was really cool. Though Shin Zangetsu, I don't know I just want to see more of Zangetsu again but I know that won't happen.

AGREED. I was content with the bow for the Energy Riders, but Gaim using it just makes it really boring, because it forces both of them to adopt the exact same fighting style.

One of the reasons I like Orange arms so much is it's two different swords is really unique, and the ability to link them and fire the one like a gun keeps thingg awesome. The bow is just a bow, than can be swung like a sword. It's not the same.

Plus, if all they're doing is standing meters away from one another firing in post special effects at one another, I think it really lacks impact. For a truly effective battle you need to see the Rider's get in close, get physical and wild. With the bows they may as well be playing a video game.
