Okay, this is totally the Houtarou and Clotho team-up I've been waiting for! It's cool how Houtarou can always see when somebody is conflicted, as he cannot accept the idea of doing something without believing in it. Clotho even claims that she's only performing her duty, like Rinne did in Episode 4, so of course Houtarou encourages her to fight for her "Gotcha". Clotho mistakes his help as pity at first, but it's actually the opposite that Houtarou sincerely and openly admires her strength of will and wants Clotho to be the best version of herself. Clotho doesn't admit it, but I think she does reciprocate the respect deep down. She just wants her sisters to get along and she seeks strength so she can be a person who they can both rely on, which is certainly honorable. The way she declines Houtarou's friendship by kicking away his hand is such a cool unique character point as well, like, I have to appreciate how Miyahara uses her body for emphasis like that. Clotho also gets her fourth costume change at the end!
Hundred are a blatant plot device, but whatever, they're just here as a mutual enemy unit for Gotchard and Dread to beat up and bond over, which y'know, I'm totally cool with that. Even though Decade was my first Rider show, I'm honestly indifferent to all this weird meta Legend stuff, the special was meh. I hope the show at least reserves enough time for focus on its regular characters and that this subplot concludes anon, unlike the annoying Kyoryuger stuff in King-Ohger. I mean, I'd still rather not have to hear that G-word spammed another dozen times though, damn.
There's a good parallel to Lachesis, in exploring the limits of their revealed nature as homunculus dolls, or as Houtarou says, homu-homa-homo-what-us. Clotho cannot handle the power of Dread Type 3 like the human Geryon could, while Lachesis speculates that their lack of humanity is a limit to their personal development as well. Kyoka therefore enthusiastically volunteers to, uh,
examine
Lachesis' body, in order to find a way to turn the Dark Sisters human. Kudos to Rinne (haha, get it?), since even after the recent attempt to ruin her life once more, she still wants to help Atropos. If only Atropos can be convinced to see the error of her ways, then the Dark Sisters can finally be reunited and not have to live in fear or loneliness all the time. Even Spanner seems pretty supportive of this plan, despite his protest from before about trusting the Dark Sisters.
