Well, some other KR series did put an effort to protect the Riders in henshin sequence. Like Kabuto, Kiva, Drive, or Ghost having intelligent and autonomous henshin devices that can fly out and smack away an incoming enemy. Or Gaim with the armor being able to be used as battering ram, or attacking enemies for Kiwami. Or the human user being one with the henshin device like Kuuga or Agito.

And I thought that the reason might not be in Vice and Kagero themselves, but in their carriers. That is, Ikki saw his demon before materialization. Kagero also mentioned that he was born before Daiji put on the belt. The rest of the users did not know about any internal demons, so those who appeared and applied the form suggested by the stamp. As for Sakura, she only saw her demon after receiving the Cobra and this shaped Lovekov's appearance.

You can't be Muteki! There's already Ex-Aid Hyper Muteki! Might as well be *Insert Invincible Title Screen here*
So last episode, I must confess, was probably one of the weaker episodes in Revice. Mainly because I felt like Ikki would have taken Sakura's side and tried to help the kid in need, given his personality and motivations, so having him do nothing felt... off, to say the least. But we got some cool fight scenes at least. This episode fared better (finally a two-parter), and yet the resolution sort of felt hollow, likely because Sakura was getting the most focus out of this, not that it's a bad thing, she got a pretty solid debut, and dare I say it, better than most Female Riders I've seen. Lovekabu (Is that what we're going with) was every bit entertaining I was hoping for, and Vice's reaction to her getting clobbered was priceless. Though I'm afraid "trash" is a little fitting for him given how his best moments are mostly when he's not fighting, seriously, I think he'd benefit more if he could take a Deadman solo (though him tripping on the 2 was amusing). I don't dislike him, but they are downplaying the two-as-one Rider theme, which I hope that now that the Igarashi siblings have become the Three Musketeers, there's hope. Also, either Sakura's arc is not yet complete, or she's not disappearing from the photo. Jeanne was fantastic in action (I only just now realize she has a ponytail), but gosh dang, is her standby one of those "gets old fast" kinds, ala Wizard or Live's (I can see why George scrapped it). But overall, she had a strong debut. I guess Aguilera's not into guys, or at least the doctor guy's not her type/fitting sacrifice for Gifu. Watch as Bu-San (absolute wild card by the way) becomes the unexpected villain. Next Episode: Loki's attacking the Helicarrier! Wait, wrong universe. |

So, Vice is a Stand, Kagerou is a body swapping Hyde entity, and Lovekov is a...Pokemon/familiar thing?

I was very confused how last episode ended with Revi seemingly getting knocked out while still henshined and just lying there with his toothy grin. So the immediate reveal in the cold open here that he was merely taking a time out was some unexpected comedy for me!
Quote:
There's more about Hiromi shown in this episode, that it's revealed that his backstory had him being bullied and hoping for a hero to save him, but there were none, so he became his own hero. Reminds that you better not wait around hoping for something you want but work on it (of course, being successful or not is another matter..), and gotta see if they'd do more with Hiromi's backstory here, but the reveal is very abrupt though in my opinion, Hiromi suddenly talking about his backstory out of nowhere, and like, it's in the middle of fight before henshin, that can left them open to the Giff Junior's attacks. Otherwise, I guess Hiromi resembles Spider-Man as human too, not only as Rider.

I guess I didn't see it coming for George's reaction to Jeanne, from his potential excitement of stating that Sakura had a demon inside her, but he's instead enraged here, shouting his way off to Daiji too, and he states that Libera Driver is something he scrapped. Probably another sign of his pettiness too like Kuroto and Ryoma, in this case, probably hating if someone can make use of something he treated as failure, meaning they know the device better than George.

Aguilera making a decent point here that happiness can come in many forms, but that probably can be another temptation for Sakura that it's a relief she takes her brother's words instead. And a hint of her backstory as well that she was raised by Deadmans since toddler and apparently "thankful".

Him tripping over the fourth wall was humorous for sure! Quote:

Sorry that I didn't mention my usual Remix and Machine parallel last week as I was hoping to. I'll do it now instead. Brachio is a Tallneck. One of the few Machines that can't be overridden and doesn't flee or attack you sight. A moving vantage point you can climb. As a bonus, I thought about Lion Remix some more and it looks similar to a Ravager.

As I speculated in the Rumors Thread, I'm guessing this playing into Vice possibly taking control of Ikki, as some of the sequences in the opening suggest we're heading for that. Quote:
Well, Gif is a guy, I'm pretty sure. I think Aguilera only has eyes for him and nobody else. But if my suspicion about Julio is right, then Amahiko declaring his intention to challenge Gif means there could be a big love triangle coming for the Deadmans! Amahiko's crazy ambition is totally going to backfire at some point.
