Kamen Rider Gaim Ep 13 - "The Friendship Tag Team of Gaim & Baron" Poll & Discussion

So, was Hase suffering from (biological) withdrawal or what?

And shit continues to get real. Great episode.

This shows ability to give characters genuine feeling reactions continues to be a highlight. Usually toku, sadly, fails at exactly what Gaim is doing so well. It never shies away from its inherent goofiness, it's never gratuitous in its darker moments and although not quite on the scale of a Hollywood blockuster, it does feel like this is taking place in a real world, where things have actual consequences.

Still, the one thing I'm sadly least convinced by is the action. I guess they're trying to create a "real" feeling in the fighting as well, but just because it works for the characters doesn't mean it works for the fighting. The "naturalistic" style of the fighting just makes it look unpolished and made up on the spot, with the special moves lacking a sense and feel of impact and the rubberyness of the Invess suits undermines any point it may have any way. The dragon fight was a bit better, but the CGI was atrocious.

This episode. This show. I love how everything is moving forward with the plot but not so much it feels like whiplash. The public's opinion of the Riders, Bravo being hired as a hitman/public figure, so good. I have a feeling Hase's going to need to be put down next week.

Things really have gone banannas. :P

Really hating Yggradsil now for not even caring about the citizens. Also can't believe Kouta wouldn't just tell them the truth

And Hase... Oh, Hase...

Kouta doesnt say anything about Yggdrasil because of Micchy. In the last episode he was going to tell Mai and the rest of team Gaim but Micchy prevented that by saying Yggdrasil would try to kill them if they would know too much.

I'm not sure Kouta telling people that Yggradsil is behind everything would work or help. Its basically his word against theirs and the little evidence present would seem to point towards the Beat Riders for using the Invess.

Besides, the city seems to approve of Yggradsil at teh moment- its a major employer and intense revenue generator. Nobody would want to tamper with that.

Agreed.

DAMN this was good. Especially vindicated to see what happened to Hase.

The way things are turning out,I think I know how next week will go for at least two characters.

I think Kouta is going to spend the whole episode trying to save Hase,and I think he'll do it.I think Micchy will see what Yggdrasil wants to do and start to agree with it.Sid did say that he was thinking more,if not worse then his brother.

I think in the end,Hase will be saved by Kouta,pushing Micchy more and more towards his brothers side.If not,then RIP Hase.
