The fruit didn't do anything to Kaito's mental state. All it did was give him the power to do what he wanted to do in the first place.

I still don't think Kaito actually wanted to purge the world. Vangelus said it best, it took his beliefs and made them super tunnel visioned. I can see Kaito as someone who hates the idea of the strong make the rules, but he feels he has to follow them in order to force a new set of rules to be introduced.

and I do know that you have to overcome the fruit's power in order to become an overlord, that doesn't mean it isn't changing you.

I'm just saying, yes, Kaito was a villain near the end. but I like to think of him as a tragic anti-hero as well. I know he's not a hero, because he IS an anti-hero.

I don't really know what to say other than that you're choosing to believe what you want then. You don't think he wanted to purge the world yet that was quite LITERALLY his entire plan and the show reminded the audience that pretty much every time he was onscreen

Yeah, Kaito pretty much said straight up to Kouta during the final battle that he planned on performing the Kamen Rider-equivalent of the Flood.


I see Kaito towards the end of the show as an Anti-Villain, if anything.

;-; I just wanted to have a good time talking about Kaito and I feel really attacked right now.

jk jk. but I still like to think Kaito's mentality was warped by the fruit in some way. he kept his sentience but it still did a number on his mind in some way. he's still the character I don't want to agree with but I also can't really say he's wrong.

Between the fruit and whatever it was Redyue did to him, he really probably wasn't all there in the head anymore. Pain doesn't exactly allow for clear thinking and I can't possibly imagine the agony that wound was causing him, on top of whatever other stuff it was doing to his biology.

In a way he reminds me of Char Aznable.

Drive 1.

It was alright. I hope they explain The DriveDriver later. The humor was..ok I guess, it felt similar to Wizard's humor.

Kuuga 18 & 19

Pretty powerful episodes IMO, the scenes with Godai in the hospital looked terrifyingly realistic. Of course you know he won't just die in the early half of the show, but damn these scenes had me thinking he actually would for a few minutes.

Pretty cool to see white Kuuga again too, even though it's just his weakest and basically a protection form, rather than a fighting one. The human disguise of the monster was also pretty funny, I like it when they look colorful and silly.

Hibiki Episode 11: Well Hibiki is definitely a Slice of Life anime merged with Musical/Elemental Demons who kick monster butt. Asumu still has issues from stopping the kids theft which is interesting though I feel he is hiding from his issues instead of facing them, I love that he got taken to Tachibana's when he didn't want to. I like that he found one of the hiding spots in it, I can't wait to see what he finds. I liked Ibuki's training scene the disk animals look great dodging his attacks they definitely feel upgraded; same with the villains who Hibiki's attacks aren't working against, and the Makamou seem to be gaining more of presence in the show rather than being random monsters. The mysterious villain empowering them is intriguing. Hibiki is so much fun, I love the Happy-Go-Lucky Main Riders they are so much fun. I can't wait to see how Hibiki deals with this threat. I also enjoyed the parallels of Asumu and Hibiki both falling at the end, I love when Kamen Rider does that.

Just finished Wizard and it's movies. I enjoyed it. And I think Den-O is next for my Rider watch. But I have a sentai to watch first.
