I liked it. The episode was pretty superfluous to the overall story, but it worked well as a small epilogue and a lot of the character moments still managed to carry some emotional weight.

I especially liked Kouta and Mai's last messages at the end before they left for good (until the Movie War). If I had any one wish for this episode it would have been to have Junouchi come back in during that final fight to help out, although I think that would've lessened the emotional impact of Kouta and Micchy fighting together as allies one last time. It would've been nice, though, if Junouchi getting the last belt and Lock Seed to fight on for Hase didn't just end in him getting curbstomped.

But they could have introduced a new threat, following a same trope ala Madoka Magica, and some kind of new monster that threatens Zawame City, while not only passing the torch to Micchy, but also possibly giving him a new form like a Orange Grape arms or something.

I'm going to miss Gaim. But at least we have Drive coming next week.

You are talking like everyone has watched Madoka.

Anyway, this episode actually made me think of the final episode to Sailor Moon S.

I really enjoyed this episode. Jonouchi was totally awesome, I really wish he would have killed the Grasshopper thing rather than Kouta so it would have made him turning into Kurokage mean something rather than just be defeated. I loved Zack, Oren, Jonouchi, and Takatora fought Kougane and monster without powers. I hope that maybe Takatora finds a way to give that back powers or that Kouta could give them more fruits from Helheim or something. I enjoyed rooting for Micchy again, that was a lot of fun it was great to see him be a hero again and defeating Jam with Gaim too. I did like Kaito's last scene too but I wonder if he can come back as a Spirit or something. I can't wait for the Gaim x Drive movie to see these guys again. It's definitely one of my higher favorites because of all the characters I love from this show, and Zack, Jonouchi, Oren, Micchy, and Takatora are some of my favorite characters.

Like Kain said not everyone watched Madoka nor does it need to follow the Madoka route. There is no need for threats it's not like Kouta or any of other snakes are trying to test Micchy and the other former Riders to defend Zawame city once more when they already have proven that.

Micchy is Ryugen and will always be Ryugen as of now. No need for a Orange Grap Arms of sorts.

Good episode. Although I find it cheap and annoying that Kougane possessed the girl rather then coming back proper.

Plus, isn't he the artifical Golden Fruit, so he knew he was second dog to God-Mode Kouta anyways?

I totally agree with you there. Jonnouchi should have been allowed to take out the lackey at least. Taking out Jam was enough for Micchy.

Kouta Kazuraba have become Chuck Norris of Kamen Rider due of his status of Man of the Beginning

Great Show! Finally! No Ryuki-style ending!

I give this show, 10/10! And as Angry Joe says "Badass Seal of Approval!"

Just saw subs.

I think Mitsuzane has become a favorite of mine, however controversial that may be. Him becoming a hero has more emotional weight to me than most other Riders just because he's played every role one could play, from hero, to anti-hero, to anti-villain, to straight up villain and had to learn the hard way what it means to actually be a hero.

He's honestly deserving of a series all by himself. Would love if he became the main Gaim representative in crossovers.
