I think it has to do with the sclash driver using an enhanced version of the build system. They didn't really dive too deeply into it on the show but the sclash driver was supposed to be the next big step in technology and power. If it wasn't for sento making his own items and Evolt showing up, the sclash driver would still be the top of the food chain. Remember, the hazard trigger was the end of the line for the build driver and was never supposed to be used. Sento is the only reason the original rider system has been able to grow in power.
Now as far as why it's being used in the final form, I have no idea. I'm behind 4 episodes and I don't know if the genius bottle is a purely Sento made item or if Katsuragi had a hand in designing it. Maybe Sento's hazard level is high enough to use the sclash system (not sure what else to call it) and he wanted to incorporate it into his final form since it is technically the more powerful version. Is there anyone that's caught up on the show that can shed some light on this? |

I would agree, but story-wise the Sclash driver wasn't that significant in Project Build. In fact, it's probably only as significant as Gashat Gear Dual was for Chronicle, which means that going by Build's logic the Gashat Gear Dual voice should have been included for Hyper Muteki (which actually would have made some sense, given Parad's relationship with Emu). Here it just feels forced and unnecessary.

Byg42 got me thinking that the two belts have been representations of Sento and Katsuragi. For a good portion of the show Sento has been trying to beat Katsuragi and now with the genius bottle he is finally embracing Katsuragi as an integral part of himself. I believe this to be the intention of the writers and not just a cool coincidence. Ex-aid on the other hand was a mess when it came to transformation items and new forms fitting into the plot. It was basically just Kuroto and Emu making better games because they wanted to. The gear gashat dual and hyper muteki gashat had nothing to do with each other. Muteki was basically a game shark to fight a different game shark (chronicle gashat and Buggle Driver Zwei) Petty edit: Sento and Katsuragi did the two in one thing better than Emu and Parad Last edited by I3ra5s Beetle; 06-15-2018 at 12:57 PM.. |

That's partially true, but the Build Driver was a belt utilizing bottles from Pandora's Box. The Sclash Driver was a belt that reused essences to aid in making new riders. Otherwise, there's no connection between the two (or at least not enough for the voices to both be used in the Genius Bottle). Emu needed Parad in order to transform into Hyper Muteki, and the Gear Dual was the game which Parad was from (or at least associated with). So, if anything, it would make more sense for the voices of the Gashat Gear Dual to appear in Muteki's jingle, given that Parad was essential for Emu to transform.

I personally wish a version of mighty brothers xx had been the final form and they really leaned into the whole Emu/Parad thing but unfortunately they didn't do that. I think we may have to agree to disagree here lol. I feel like me and Byg42 made a pretty solid case for the incorporation of both voices but it's cool if you don't think so. I just hope you don't feel cheated by its inclusion. Parad deserved better for sure but Build giving us both voices doesn't make it any better or worse that the gear gashat dual voice was not in muteki. They are two separate shows and toy lines that had no bearing on each other. |

Yeah, I'm being nitpicky. The problem to me is that the same case made for incorporating Wakamoto's voice into the Genius bottle could easily be made for other shows. Ghost for example, could've had the Necrom brace voice for Grateful, given that Grimm and Sanzo are never used by Ghost.
It's just that this year is first in a while that the main Driver's voice is, in my opinion, pretty cool, and clear (compared to the raspier-type voices used for the Gamer Driver and Ghost driver). Now we have the raspier-type voice for the secondary driver that has strangely started to eclipse the devices used. |

Hey, quick question about the SODO line! What's the quality like, and how do the figures compare to, say, a mainline Gimmick Figure (ie Arms Change / Build Up series). I'm looking into getting a couple of the rarer forms, and I'm interested in what I'd be getting into.
