Wizard Episode 2: "I Want To Be a Mage/Wizard" Discussion

Finally got around to watching this episode. The use of the bike was pretty darn cool, something I'd like to see more of in Kamen Rider.
I don't see where you guys are getting that Shunpei or Rinko will be riders. At most I can see Shunpei getting handed down a system of some sort, like Birth or IXA, but beyond that, it doesn't seem like they won't introduce a new character for the secondary rider, especially considering their track record.

The motorcycle chase scene was easily the best one i have seen out of the 4 Rider series i have seen , I was super juiced about that. I was impressed by the fight choreography also.

I actually think Shupei or Rinko may end up becoming a villain somewhere down the line myself.

Nah. Shunpei is just the support bro, like Kotaro from Blade or Keitaro from Faiz. Rinko is probably going to be a hybrid of the standard Rider girl and Ichijo from Kuuga.

Kuuga episode 4 is still, like, the greatest use a bike in Kamen Rider ever.

Good episode, love the opening, some the visuals remind me of Ryuki. Actually, everything Wizard has done so far has reminded me of another Rider, like the show is some bizarre hybrid of every Rider ever.

I disagree. The Kuuga episode with the bike riding Grongi and the episode of Blade with the Wolf Undead on the bike are the best.

I found myself enjoying this episode quite a bit, which is huge because usually the second episode can break a show from keeping me interested.

So far so good, really enjoying this. And yes ... need a SH Figuarts of Wizard *NOW*.

I thought it was a good episode overall. Great use of the bike, I like it when Kamen Riders actually use their bikes and I hope he uses it a lot. I wonder who that guy was that gave Haruto the WizarDriver. I'm thinking it might be that old guy, whose name escapes me. Rinko had some good moments as well as did the new guy...I'll remember these names eventually guys. I found it funny how he has a completely useless sleep spell. Also what was up with that lady, er man at the doughnut cart. Again I'm sad that I don't have a WizarDriver, and probably never will

oh well at least there's always doughnuts...also I second that, Kickback. I would also like a figuart of Hellhound, but I know the chances of that getting made are about the same that I'll find a WizarDriver for under $100

Don't stress about it too much. You have a full year to try and get a hold of them, you'll get one eventually.
