ok on a more serious note is the new thing Daiji gets for the next episode Kamen Rider Giff or a possible fusion of Evil and Live I thought it was the Evil equivalent to Holy Live but saw the TwoSidriver was in Live Gun move

The pointless little exposition from Masumi about George having his personality affected by his demon or whatever feels so bad and does nothing good for these characters, but George kinda hasn't really mattered in a long time so I can't pretend to be too upset by it.
All my interest in the episode is the very end though, which is Daiji opting to make a contract with Giff! This could be leading into about a dozen different things that may or may not consist the entire last stretch of the show's story, but it really does feel like all the elements that have been stewing in the cauldron for a very long time now are about to explode out. It at least kinda has to because Akashi is gone (and to be replaced by the one who took him out?!) Last edited by FreshToku; 07-10-2022 at 05:30 AM.. |

The most interesting thing from this episode is Masumi's inner demon actually is transfered to George's body. But in the past, we didn't have clear signs about George's inner demon.
Maybe some of signs of George's inner demon is: - George really obsessed to Evil and Live experiments in early of Revice series. - George become addicted to Demons Driver in episode 32. I think George can become a new Kamen Rider in the some of last Revice episodes. Last edited by Blade Fang; 07-10-2022 at 06:04 AM.. |

Hey, 42 was such a pleasant episode, let's see what 43 has in store for us-Oh.
-The George bit.......Why? Just, why? Granted, the show has been actively pushing back aganist George's early characterization of the morally ambigous scientist (saying that Akaishi forced him to do X and Y, making him feel bad for the condition he's put Hiromi in [nevermind that he giggling n shit over it early on]) once it was decided he was a pure ally character around the late 20s, but *this*? Not only does it read as a bizzare retcon that at worst is trying to handwave George's early actions as "lol, Masumi's demon was influncing him", it makes George's attempts at redemption feel weaker overall? A similar thing happened with Fuwa in 01, with the whole "implant memories to make him a human weapon", but at least happened at arguably the major end of his character arc, actually tied in to him finding his new resolve as a Kamen Rider of Yua's design, not Gai's, and as while I still didn't like that twist, was properly teased during the show and feels better executed as part of the narrative and its themes? This is just a weird bit that doesn't add anything other than "Masumi is a guy who made A Lot Of Mistakes", but we already knew that??? -Heyyyyyyy, Hikaru did a Thing! Bit sad we bulit all that up for him to not even be the one to finish off Akaishi, or even do a double finisher with Revice, but oh well! -.....I forget if it was established before, but Vice has kept all of Ikki's memories that he's forgotten, huh. Why do I get the feeling that the end of Revice will not necesarily end/focus on beating Gifu, but more about returning Ikki's memories to him, somehow through Vice. I mean, think about it? When's the last time Rider has bulit up a "dynamic duo" and hasn't tossed them one final sorrowful twist/obstacle in their show's endgame, right? The show is practically screaming it's gonna go for a "Gifu's defeated, but at the cost of all of Ikki's memories" thing, so I wonder how things will work out.... -Daiji...so because he thinks Kagerou's gone forever, he thinks he can't turn back from the past he's chosen? The choice to make a new contract with Gifu to protect humanity is interesting.....if it wasn't the episode where it seems Gifu has completely given up coexisting with humanity, and is in favor of all-out destruction. I wonder what will happen.... -Yeah, its a standard set-up episode for Revice (has thing that I really dont like, lots of little things I'm disappointed by/nuetral on, but not to the point where I can say it was a bad episode because I know the payoff episode will give me something.) Idk why was expecting the show's standards to be upped a bit after 42, guess not. |

Would not be surprised if the reason they included this bit about George was because of the reception to why George did what he did and explained about in Episode 29. There's enough of a gap for them to be like "Oh people didn't like that so let's course correct further".
George is an interesting character with potential, and tbh like in retrospect... I can see what they were going with? Especially with the thing of him supposedly being the original Demons. Really, this is them trying to shove Hiromi into the story as a Rider role when ever since his return he's proven that he shines his best as a support character. And like, I love Hiromi. But if he really did take Demons from George when it comes to the bts aspect of Revice? Yeah that was a mistake. Anyway can I just say I'm legitimately surprised they decided to have a fight scene with Giff, and it looks like they're doing one again next time too. When it comes to like that kind of suit and stuff... it's impressive! I still hold the fear that Kamen Rider Giff might come but the fact that they're at least committing to a few fights with him in his monster form is impressive honestly. My hope is that they just go Sagittarius Nova and do a slimmed down form. I'm also excited for next time because it looks like Daiji's Arc is about to fully culminate at last and with a new form! |

This one dialogue from Masumi (whose only character is now saying 'I did bad') add nothing to George's character at all and only serves to completely absolve him of anything he has done. Zero accountability. And I think it's George who I think doesn't fit into the rider role and should serve as support.
And admittedly, I'm really not a fan of Hiromi's post-fall characterization. He's body isn't fit to transform, but he's still going out there, rifle in hand, to fight. It's nonsensical to not give him a belt of the MP Demons because it shouldn't really do anything to him and would only serve as armor. It's the original Demons Driver, which was purged of its issues anyway, that will cause a problem on him. He's the one I feel who serves best on the support rider role. I'm expecting Hiromi to fail to transform next week with how much they're allergic to him, but he and Daiji are on the ground looking exhausted so maybe |

I'm surprised the whole "George having Masumi''s demon" thing is getting so much attention. To me it's just a ham-fisted reference to the demon in the Battle Familia trailers that looks vaguely scientist themed and has a reverse of George's hairstyle (see Attached).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for this idea that "George was originally meant to be Demons" (according to the wiki this comes from an interview George's actor went on), personally I find this kind of interesting. Hiromi as Demons became quite popular with fans due to the very Showa-esque hero appeal of his character. If George the "morally ambiguous scientist" character was the initial Demons we got instead, I wonder how that would've turned out. Last edited by Pineapple924; 01-21-2023 at 09:58 AM.. |
