Wasn't there another eisode where Kouta wanted to hang up the belt though? I'm pretty sure it was after Hase got killed.

Hase's death, Yuyya's reveal to him, project ark, the destruction of Zawame city, all sorts of things that might happen off screen.

Is getting old.

I think Kouta's turncoat attitude towards being a Rider fits with the whole youth vs. adults dealio. He's naive, he doesn't know what he wants.

I was looking through Facebook, and someone made a very interesting comment on Kamen Rider Club's post about Gaim 22. There's no filler.

The thing I didn't like about this episode (minor, but still...) is that Gaim used Jinba Lemon against Zangetsu. He already established that Cherry is stronger, and he just got the Peach lock seed. Also, how many times have we seen Pine Arms? Like, 2 maybe 3 times? It's practically the most underused Arms in the show.

Nope. He wanted to fight more after that.

The ONLY time Kouta wanted to give up being a rider was after Zangetsu beat him up.

Again, WHERE are you guys seeing him give up? It's not even like he gave up this episode or anything.

Or do you guys think anytime he's not actually in the midst of fighting, he's given up? I'm actually rewatching all of Gaim up until now, and he's never given up since the one time it was important for him to give up.

I'm pretty sure that Toei didn't want to debut two new Jinba suits in one episode.

But the bit about cherry still stands. Why he would use Lemon again, when Cherry gives him everything Lemon has but more, I do not understand.

Because the action in this show is dull and boring?
