I think he was a roach, if I remember correctly.

Wow, the Showa vs Heisei Taisen movie was...just, utter garbage? Like, I don't think I was expecting too much, but still. Just awful. What an insane, crappy mess that last act was.

I did get a kick out of Ryuki and Blade teaming up for a finishing move in the last (stupid, stupid) battle, since those are the two Riders whose series I've actually finished. Beyond that, I really don't have anything good to say about it.

I thought it was fine for a "hey, here's a bunch of Kamen Riders in a single movie"

it was dumb but it was a good dumb.

[Switchblade]

I love that movie, ignoring the last ten minutes and the Sentai cameos. I am completely over Yonemura's garbage and repetitive scripts, but all the stuff with the returning actors was great. I loved the Keisuke and Takumi stuff, in particular. It was also probably the best use of Decade ever.

It's definietly better compared to the last few all rider team up movies we've gotten but it just doesn't have the same magic that All Riders VS Daishocker had.

I liked the film, but it feels like too many people had too many different ideas.

We have one person that really wanted this film to be like the Avengers for Kamen Rider.

Then we have another that really, really wanted to do a Faiz epilogue.

Finally, we got some exec that came late into the meeting and told them they had to include Gaim and the Toqgers because they're the shows all the kids are watching.

It's fine, I just hate how the Showa Riders are complete dicks for no reason whatsoever...

OOO 27 and 28:

This was just a filler arc, but very entertaining. All hail Great Leader ANKH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Also, Maki was funny.

29 and 30:

MAKI WAS NOT FUNNY!

In all seriousness, this was a good arc, I like that we got backstory on the OOO Dirver's origins as well as Ankh, and how Lost Ankh was made. Also, Maki torched his sister after she was about to leave him, and became mean. So, I guess this is where he snaps...oh boy. I find it interesting just how sympathetic he is...you rarely get that in Kamen Rider, and it's done very well here, which is great! Since that's an easy thing to mess up.

[Matrixbeast]

It's really good to know that you still find Maki interesting and sympathetic despite his actions.

Well, I mean it doesn't justify him murdering his sister, but it's still hard not to feel sorry for the guy.

OOO 31 and 32:

Oh dang, Dr. Maki's just going full on nuts now. Also, we get the last bit of Eiji's backstory. Yeah, trying to help a country and have it backfire into civil war, and having his parents take advantage of the story to get votes is rough. Also the story with the guy who was trying to help his old teacher's family was nice. I liked the moral there.

As for 32...this one was great, we found out why Eiji is able to use medals (and combos, I assume) without going berserk, it's due to his lack of desire, which is interesting. Kougami also had a lot of good moments here, in that he wasn't just being the big ham, but actually giving some insight into what exactly is going on. Also, PuToTyra...still not feeling it's design, but that was a cool fight. Also, are those people that got caught up in the smoke dead forever?

Kuuga 16.
So rather than being awesome, the Gouram screws over Kuuga and locks his bike up mid fight. However, Kuuga is still able to overcome the roach and destroys him. However, we find that the roach does what roaches do best, and survived, going on another rampage briefly afterwards.

In the meantime, rose calls for another Grongi to be brought in, but I don't have much idea for who it could be.

After a brief examination that yields nothing, Kuuga rides the Gouram into action and this time it decides to work, ramming into the truck so hard it tips it and explodes...And then decides to be lame again by strangely turning back into fossils and collapsing into pieces.

Something that this episode dealt a lot with was Ichijou and his mother...And it proceeded to do nothing with it, disappointingly. Despite there being multiple nudges for him to go visit her after her collapsing, he doesn't. And when he calls her, she's perfectly fine. They exchange 2 lines, and end of conversation. Feels like a waste.

[Kiwami]

Yeah that's a waste. If anything you could take it as another clue for how Ichijou only lives for his work. If I remember correctly they also talk about his father in this or the last episode, so his mom probably realized a long time ago that Ichijou is too much his fathers son, so she doesn’t expect him to come visit her.
