Not gonna lie, I would not complain if Dan Kuroto was in Build lol.

So I was wrong, and it turns out Faust is the organization rather than a the person Banjo was framed for killing. (In my defense, they straight up said the guy's nickname was The Devil's Scientist)

What's more Blood Stark appears to be the same rank as Night Rouge. He also seems to be a new character, since his response to Night Rouge's questioning felt way too relaxed for compared to what Night Rouge's regular lackey would say.

Next, it seems that Nabeshima was the host for the Mirage Smash and the Square Smash. More importantly, their essences probably make the Full Bottles needed for Build's NinninComic form.

Also, I thought Nabeshima's memory loss was going to hint that being turned into a Smash twice will erase more of your memories, but the dialogue at the beginning with Night Rouge seems to imply that this is the first time Faust has tried this, and Blood Stark said complete memory erase comes from the new process they're using.

Lastly, Soichi (the café owner) being a member of Faust actually seems pretty unsurprising looking back; He told Ryuga and the audience that something big happens upon collecting all the Full Bottles. He was the one who suggested Sento become Build and fight the Smash. He even has a daughter who can purify the Full Bottles Build obtains from Smash (an ability I'm pretty sure girls don't usually have).

On a side note: Man, that wall panel became really important to the plot rather quickly.
Episode 3
Ryuga: Hey what's this thing in your wall?

Owner: Oh, we used to use it to find Best Matches.

Episode 4:
Sento: WHY THE F@#K DO YOU HAVE THIS PANEL IN YOUR WALL?!

Owner: Well...

I think that little girl is the most adorable child character I've seen in Toku yet. I was legitimately heartbroken when her dad couldn't remember her.


Also, holy crap, the cafe owner is/was a member of Faust. That's a crazy big reveal and we're only 4 episodes in.

I really want we has other high ranked Faust member based on spider, armadillo, chameleon, elephant, and other animals.

Yes. Yes. And YES!

Crap. I'm already having to get cheatsy with the bike action screengrabs. Luckily the preview guarantees me next week will be fine but I'm starting to think this gimmick won't have the longevity I want from it. If it only took a month to get an episode without Rabbit/Tank, the bike can't be far behind.

That being said, this was another super fun episode:

- Crazy emotional range from Sento here. From a snarky recap, to doing some sleuthing, to making a kid smile (great scene, by the way), to shock and confusion at the end. It's a lot to cover in 22 minutes but credit where credit is due, Atsuhiro Inukai hit all the notes well.

- I'm digging the gradual hero's journey Ryuuga's got going on. It may seem like a little moment, or just kind of obvious, but him stepping back and saying "I don't care about me" when Nabeshima can't remember his family speaks a lot to the development he's had so far, and plays into Sento's spiel to him last episode. I guess it's not super impressive, genius writing or anything, but I don't know, I really liked it. Ryuuga's earning the status he's going to gain however many weeks from now.

- So Facial Hair Guy (I could look up the name but that's no fun) being Night Rogue is just like... an open secret at this point? Nothing in the show so far has been treated like the big reveal despite spelling it out so clearly. It's kind of an odd way to handle things.

good episode but did anyone else feel the pace is a little bit too fast?
i thought thing like this will be reveal in like episode 7/8/10

I like how this was everyone's reaction on toku twitter

Great episode, this show is on fire so far, I really hope this keeps going. Because seeing a show burning down like a candle until it's boring as hell is even more annoying to me than a show which needs 10 episodes to keep going.

Anyways, great stuff, I love how Kamen Rider Build as a series wastes no time with hiding plot relevant points in plain sight as Sentou rips the panel out of the wall and we immediately get to the question why the Café owner saved Sentou.

And they weren't kidding when they said they wanted to return to Kamen Rider's roots, the scientist rebelling against the evil organization saving Kamen Rider before the brainwashing in this universe is our dear owner.

I'm also kinda in awe about how badass the Faust Rider-suits are, Night Rogue and Blood Stark look amazing. Figuarts for these and all which is to come, please. And again, I really hope that the next one is Spider-themed.

Liked this episode a lot, even with the questionable physics of everything Sawa did with that van. I'm still having a lot of fun with Misora as our surly comic relief. The big showdown with the MotW got kinda Zyuohger-y there near the end.
