Also, this is the episode where the Reika actress likes her acting. I generally liked the Ryoga-possessed mayhem at South Base, which works both as a boost to Shindai sympathy and as a reminder that veteran riders have not gone anywhere, even if they have been hanging around lately. Overall, I love this episode. Quote:
LINES IN THE SUIT
Also, I looked at your viewing plan and I have a little advice/remark. Would you like to watch Sword of Logos Saga before the end of the show? It's just that it's mostly showing the events in and before the show from Isaac's point of view (of course, with small but important additions). And it seems to me that after the finale, this mini-series will not be as interesting as while the unfortunate villain Isaac is still fresh in memory. |

There is always the possibility of rushing to TTFC. Both personal and crossover like Girl Remix. My ideal is a dream, like that W episode where Akiko became a rider. If that wasn't effective enough, she could get some Dream Sword that doesn't exist in the real world. But it seems that I am already wandering into the territory of fanfiction.

KAMEN RIDER SABER EPISODE 40 - “THE SHINING FRIENDSHIP, OF THREE SWORDSMEN”
The Book of Omniscience is a device that makes other stories subservient to it. Solomon is a character that sees everyone as a minor tool to further his own greatness. These are both things that act against the central thesis of this series: that the world is full of individual stories, each with their own author, and we only succeed by embracing that diversity. It’s a fun way of thoroughly defeating and disgracing Isaac. He gets humiliated in this episode, from the theme song to the end credits, from Storious talking over him to Storious evaporating him. But the main thrust of this episode is all in how Isaac can’t possibly win against the teamwork of Saber, Blades, and Espada. Quote:
They’re all in sync in this one (struggling not to say “on the same page”), where even their basic teamwork is able to overcome the majority of Solomon’s attacks. The three of them are unified in their goals, and able to understand what each of them brings to the table. They know each other so well that the moves effortlessly bleed into one another; the camerawork lingers on the moments of transition, like when Blades ducks slightly to open a lane for Espada. There’s cohesion in their fighting that overcomes whatever cheap tricks Solomon can pull.
Quote:
The twist is that Solomon can now infect the Wonder Ride Books, turning swordsmen into his puppets. He only uses them to cause chaos, which is about as simplistic as you’d expect from him at this point. He’s never been able to see his underlings as anything other than disciples and cannon fodder, so it follows that he’d basically point them at a target and then wander off. In contrast to their stunning teamwork of earlier, the possessed swordsmen swing like drunken zombies, flailing and screaming and generally being incredibly bad at actually damaging an immune Saber. (Durandal fares better in the Southern Base. Instead of blaming his opponents, let’s just say that the smaller arena gave him an edge?)
Quote:
Even the new Saber upgrade… it’s this show’s version of Trinity Form, but it keeps all three guys separate. That’s the point. It’s three individuals working in unison, but operating in separation. It’s three points of view collaborating on one success. It’s Featuring Saber; Saber’s just the most prominent member of a team that he needs at his side to be his best.

Anyway, humorous story, the scene where Touma, Rintarou, Mei and Kento did their swordpile was first revealed in a magazine and at first glance I thought Mei was holding a new Seiken Sword, before realizing a minute later that I was looking at a stick. Even though this episode debunked MeiEspada theory, I was still hoping Mei would become a Swordsman. Now that I think about it, Touma had Rekka spare, he could've at least let her borrow that for a few seconds to make the swordpile look more official!

I didn't watch Girls Remix due to my strong dislike of the two protagonists, but if Mei was in it, as a Rider, I would've been tempted. If it happens in a future TTFC special or something, I'll watch it.

Imagine them creating an ice Seiken for Mei to wield. XD

Blades already has a Long Get on the ice element, with Tategami Hyoujyu Senki.

It's understandable with Aguilera, but you should at least get to know Dark Tackle before disliking her Just kidding, of course I understood everything. But those who watched admit that it was not necessary to put Jeanne in the title of this mini-series.

Logic
I forgot to mention that the SoL could draw on the powers of Tategami and cause what I described earlier. Also, the idea of Mei getting ice was really supposed to be a reference to her crush on Rintaro.

One of them is probably the actress who played Yoko, the slightly crazy monster expert on Ultraman Z. I have no idea which one because my facial recognition game is not what it used to be.
