Probably episode 2, then movie war, and the special. Maybe they'll bring taisen back or do some big scale fight for next year summer movie. |

Since the Heisei Generation Forever movie will likely spend most of its screentime focusing on Build, Zi-O and returning actors, I think team Build coming back together should be saved for the V-Cinema. It would be better when it happens in Build's own story

I'm pretty sure there's a new version of katsuragi and his parents in this new world as well.

I have to say, I really liked the ending. The final battle left a lot to be desired but the scene in the New World was really melancholic and made me feel a lot for Sento, who had sacrificed everything to protect the people who won't even remember him. I actually teared up a bit when he met with the alternate version of Banjo, who didn't recognize him. I felt a very Ryuki vibe from this, especially during the part with Misora and Soichi. However, turns out Skywall Banjo also made it to the New World and they reunite and engage in some classic bromantic shenanigans. The last scene is brilliant and hilarious, revealing that the recaps at the start of every episode are in fact scripts Sento wrote up in-universe to help remember their adventures by. So unlike Ryuki, while the other members of the cast have been merged or replaced with their alternate counterparts, Sento and Banjo still have each other. Build was at its best when it was about the two, and having the last episode be dedicated to that relationship is a huge win in my books.

Sawa is still sawa. We got the shy and awkward gentoku back. So is utsumi working in Nanba's factory? lol I kind of wish the main characters remembers their past in this new world. It would be neat if banjo got his career and gf back instead he just see an alternate version of himself that have what he wanted before he became an convict kr. Also, 4 reprint power up item in a row. Technically, Genius was kind of a sparkling rehash already. I heard a lot of toy complain, but buys it because they enjoy the show. It must be selling well especially when Lupin Isn't. |

The ending sounds fantastic. And everything it should have been. Can't wait to binge the last quarter stretch. Really proud of how this show turned out. Toei keeps amazing every year with their cast, crew, and wit.
I find the ending really poetic to how it started. Show began with Sento not having his memories, alongside Banjo trying to solve his incarceration issue and in the end, Sento and Banjo are the two left with carrying on the memories. Free and know what happened, but still there to protect this new world. Still kind of sad though when you think about. The people they knew are still gone, still died. Even though they see the alternate selves living happily, it's still not "their world's" versions. Those still died. I wonder if they'll actually approach that grief angle later more in either Zi-O or a follow up special. I'm half expecting some last minute aspect of they need to go back save their world's Misora with a back to the future II type of final stinger. Which would fit to Zi-O or something else later. This really sounds kind of depressing when you think about it. The rider lost his world in the final battle, and is in a new world because of all they couldn't save, but did stop that evil from going to other worlds too. But for general audiences, it's a visual thing. Seeing the characters living happily prevents from really thinking about it. It's a form of epilogue that brings peace, but at the same time still remembers the loss. It's not a resurrection but visually it feels like it, even though those characters are still dead. Quote:
And the gas itself, if they do another follow up special, is likely what's keeping the 'other world' memories from returning. Though in some instances it's better to leave those memories in the past. But Misora I think may end up making the transition to exist alongside her alternate self at some point in the future. Her and her dad are the two they really can't mess with the new world versions and give them the other self memories. Though in her dad's case, that would make for an interesting story of him trying to understand what happened to his alternate self since the memories would be without the possession. It'd essentially be like Sento in many ways. Trying to understand his previous self and why they did what they did. But I think it's a better note to leave their alternate selves blissfully unaware. But team Build does feel wrong without Misora too. Quote:
That's the painful part of multiverse theory. Sure there's a multiverse version of people doing every thing they wished they could do or having reached every dream, etc. But that still means it's not 'them'. That's the other world 'them.' Not their world they are currently living in. Not the one you knew. Not the one you experienced. It's like the star trek thing about transporters. Star Trek transporters murder people. It doesn't 'teleport' anything. It disintegrates and then rebuilds it from the data into a new version that has the memories to the point of when the previous was disintegrated. So it looks seamless like teleportation, but it's really not. That person died the second they were transported and a new version with the old memories carried on in their stead. To the outward observer. You'd notice no difference. The new version person would know no difference. But the real version, the version that was first transported, that one is dead and data built copies have been carrying on in their stead. But that's a headier form of the same multiverse version thing. Or if you want a simpler explanation: Think of it like a house pet. One dies, but you replace it with one that looks exactly the same, and give it the same name. But that new one has none of the experiences of the old. Never lived that life. But to the outward observer, it looks exactly the same. Like replacing a hamster, or guinea pig, or goldfish before a little kid notices their pet died. It's kind of, sort of, like that to the outward observer that doesn't know the difference. That's what this visual trick does to general audiences. The show essentially 'replaced the dead characters' with happier goldfish that look the same and lived on. So general audiences see it as a resurrection, but really, to those that know the differences. The ones who can see it's not. They know those goldfish were replaced. So Sento and Banjo essentially replaced the goldfish of their world. And have to live knowing they couldn't save the previous. That these may look like them, seem like them, even occasionally act like them, but they aren't the ones they knew and grew with. The people of their world, their world itself, went belly up in the fish bowl. Last edited by Librarian; 08-26-2018 at 05:11 AM.. |

The ending kind of redeemed the show for me. I just wish Misora would have gotten her memories back before Souichi so rudely interrupted her.
And when you think about it, out is horrifying to think that it took an entire planetary retcon to defeat Evolt. Nearly seven billion lives were replaced to destroy him. Well, this had been fun, guys. Let's see if Zi-O will hold up.

Team Build won’t be the same without Misora, Grease and Rogue. Build and Cross-Z have gotta reforge their former family when facing certain odds.

I guess its a bittersweet ending and Sento reuniting with his best partner, Ryuga.
At least they have each other (that sounded so gaaaaay...xD ) time for Zi-O. I can't wait for the Faiz arc for that. |
