Takeru was probably just crying about the Nobunaga eyecon.

And in the process, probably allowing Spectre to snatch Tut.

Decent episode. School plot was setting up something, curious where that's gonna go. Spectre is nothing new. Jerkhole who is stronger at debut that crosses our main rider for some reason. I did like that he got one Eyecon, so he's already a shaker, thankfully. I particularly enjoyed seeing Takeru losing the rematch, but still managing to keep the Newton Eyecon.

Anyway, Takeru is still an unsure baby, Akari is still pulling her science bullshit (Seriously, what the fuck was up her arguing about wounds? Does she not get metaphors? Is she Drax from fucking Guardians of the Galaxy?), and Onari is still seeing if he can break his vocal cords.

Yes. Yes she is.

Also, I really hope Onari doesn't eat the Ghost Fish Sausage. All that yelling would really show up his halitosis. Riccola!!!

Personally I was having a hard time trying to figure out if Takeru was lazy, or just scared to take on anything. I've decided he's both. Seriously, dude has less than two months to get eleven (now twelve) historical icons, and he's just laying around Scooby Dooing his way through his afterlife. I'd be all over that crap if it were me. It doesn't take Carmen Sandiego to figure out where all of these historical objects are.

Also, Chase in the afterlife is just as badass. I mean Spectre, sorry. Him and his fist gun. Obey the fist.

Last, I have to ask, who decided the 'historical figures'? Beethoven? Really? REALLY? I would have gone with something a little more balls to the wall. Like Rasputin. Or Sun Tzu. Or Eric The Red. Or Ramses IV. Or Mithridates VI, the Poison King who fought Rome for 40 years and drank poison until he was immune to it. Or Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Sheesh. Maybe I've been reading Badass Of The Week a lot, there seems to be a lot more hardcore historical figures that they could have gone with that would still teach kids. But no thanks. I'll take the Steve Jobs Eyecon.

Hey, it's a hard life having only one character trait.

Probably went on a cruise having a month long bender, only when they got back they were like "Ah crap what day is it?"

You know, that one empty month would have been the perfect time for the Drive crossover to take place, since that took place over a month. But of course they missed it by an episode. Friggin' what, man.

A new Rider showed up and stole an Eyecon right out of Takeru's grasp. That is totally the right time to just sit around and do fuck all for a month (while Anri probably explains the science behind the lunar cycle).

I thought this is the most controversial episode in Kamen Rider History.

It about a gun-themed villain shooting at School which happens to be a controversial subject due of real-life school shooting

What was Takuro Fukuda (Head-Writer) thinking about writing this? Is he think it's okay to write an episode about shooting at school?!

Little kids watch Kamen Rider too.

For the record, Makoto is not a jerk, He have a younger sibling trapped in a Ganma Eyecon and in order to bring his younger sibling back, He have to gather 15 Heroic Eyecon even stealing one from Takeru

School shootings don't happen in Japan. They have no real reason to be touchy about the subject, it's not like Japan is hugely invested in what happens in the U.S. in general. So no, it's not controversial. So yes, it's ok for him to write an episode where a machine gun monster shoots at protesters at a school.

Also, we still don't know what's up with Makoto, and a jerk with good intentions is still a jerk. Doesn't make him a bad character, but a jerk is a jerk.

Clearly you haven’t watched Kuuga, the show where the Gurongi kill dozens to hundreds of people every other episode. Which includes a Porcupine Gurongi who tells school students when he plans to kill them, takes extra satisfaction when they commit suicide out of despair before he comes to kill them, and who attends the funerals of his victims to haunt the other students who are next.

Or Agito, the show where the Lords kill people in new disgusting ways every week.

But yeah, sure, the Ghost episode where a Ganma shoots the signs of protesting parents in front of a school takes the cake. What were they thinking? So brutal and controversial.
