Right. Only I have that power.

Good episode this week. I liked the investigation and the new backstory for Otta; when this show actually allows itself to be serious it can be really engaging and enjoyable. I'm also happy to see Chase used sparingly instead of having him show up halfway through just to waste time.

So. I guess they got that Deadzone problem solved in two episodes? No biggy? Aight. Okay.

"Instead of having him go crazy again, let's just subtly turn him back into Type Speed like it never happened!"

Well Dead Heat going out of control was never taken all that seriously it was just a joke. And honestly I rather have it gone instead of going through the same joke every single time they use Dead Heat.

And by the way he never got turned back into Type Speed by it. What turned him back into Type Speed was Chase shooting him with the Ride Crosser.

I like to think there is more to Chase and what's he's been up to. I'm probably hoping for too much, but I like to pretend he shot Drive so he didn't go crazy. Maybe his combining with Gou's bike has more meaning as well. As always, they have me on the edge of my seat wishing the next episode was right now.

Him and Mach both get hit. Instead of knocking him out of his transformation like Gou, he's just all-0f-a-sudden Speed in the next cut. Even if there was "reason" it's still lazy.

All though, Kamen Rider has done that a few times before... Namely, I can remember Gremlin throwing Wizard into a wall and conveniently turning him back from Infinity to Flame. But I seem to remember there was at least some kind of special effect...

Of course its lazy I´m not arguing that. Just that it wasnt done by Dead Heat.

And yeah you get that all the time in Rider. Its even extremely common to have it the other way around. Like Takumi transforming into Faiz Blaster Form in the Heisei vs Showa movie without using his upgraded weapon for it.

I like to think that the dead heat forms an armor around Speed and Mach, that's how I saw it here at least.

This was actually a really, really good episode I thought. See, Drive is at its best when the comedy is secondary to who the characters truly are. We still had fun with this episode but it wasn't obnoxiously in-your-face. I wish it had more episodes like that.

I, like Switchblade, also like that Mashin Chaser was actually used sparingly this episode instead of the show trying to force a Drive/Mashin Chaser rivalry. That makes Chase seem more like a legitimate threat waiting for the moment to strike rather than cannon fodder for Drive's new toys.
