Also expected Micchy's secret identity bit to last longer, if only so as to prevent any sort of "I'm totally a bad guy now!" antics, but that's starting to seem kind of inevitable. Of course, as far as evil Riders go, Melon Bro isn't actually that bad a guy, so who knows.

Super excited to see Kouta bust out that shiny new Lemon Lockseed next week, too bad next week means 7 whole days from now. I swear, this show is like a drug addiction, sometimes.

I've always said that the only weakness of this show is that it airs weekly and not back to back.

Probably wrong, though.

Shotaro was not fabulous.

He was suave.

Ohhhh my I loved this episode. The plot is interesting, and they really want to sell the Dandelliners don't they? I would of liked to see Bravo and Gridon but the episode was great regardless. Would of liked to have seen more of Mirika but still it was okay. Can't wait to see where DJ's story goes from here, as well as the reactions of Raid Wild when they hear that Hases dead. I liked the part of where Micchy's like nope you're not gonna se this footage of Yuyya, or at least not yet. Also Ithought that Takatora knew that Micchy was Ryugen since wouldn't he know who was what rider? As well as in the episode where all the riders were in Helhiem didn't Takatora say well have along talk later, as well as in earlier episodes have that book of all the armored riders.

Takatora didn't care enough to look at the book of Armored Riders.

Yup, he flippantly blew off Sid's offer to go over the subjects.

... Now I want to see an American adaptation of Kamen Rider Gaim. Not something like Power Rangers, with the cut-and-paste Japanese footage spliced together with American footage, but something a bit more like Game of Thrones, with completely new footage but with a story based on the source material.

So I had a random thought. I know it's totally wrong, but think how much of a twist it would be.

Helheim is actually the future, a distant future. Ryouma and the DJ are actually from the future ... and are the future versions of Micchy and Kouta. Ryouma is obsessed with developing a technology to harness the power of Helheim to stop it from coming to pass and to save Mai, while the DJ is Kouta who was overtaken by the forest, hence the "whoever Helheim chooses..." because the forest is all weird and mysterious.

Stupid I know. but I just saw Ryouma and was like "hey, that looks like a future Micchy with long hair..."

I don't think I could see that one I'm afraid

Just finished the episode and as expected I'm loving this series more and more, really making me glad I decided to give it a watch. And I believe it was Split Lip who said it in another topic how this show is really raising the bar when it comes to it's story telling, not a single episode has been pure filler, everything advances the story in one way or another, and I wish more shows did that.

As for the episode itself I'm glad we got to see more of the DJ character, the new lock vehicle (in time for it's toy release) and of course Gaim getting his new energy lock seed.

And though I'm sure they mass produced those energy seeds I can't help but picture DJ Sagara sneaking into Duke's living quarters and taking the lock seed behind his back. Next Battle Duke goes to transform and, crap...where's my lock seed?

Kamen Rider Gaim is going to ruin Kamen Rider for the rest of the franchise with how spoiled we're being
