There is a reason, it's just poorly explained and seemingly contradicting, unless you have a firm grasp on how nebula gas reacts to Hazard Level. Anybody with a level lower than 3 exposed to the gas is corrupted, so Gentoku raising his Hazard Level to get stronger had the ironic side effect of negating the same corruption that motivated him to get stronger. Just like Mutsuki trying to use King Form.
But whatever, if that's the explanation they wanna go with, then sure I guess. Quote:
Rare? One of Build's major appeals for a lot of people is the juxtaposition between dark drama and humorous character interactions. I can't recall a single episode of this show where there isn't some kind of joke or someone goofing around. This also fits in to the philosophical question of how such a fragile ideal as love and peace can survive in a world filled with war and suffering. The fact that our tragic heroes always bounce back from despair and continue to enjoy the little happiness in their lives is a sign of their resilience! Maybe the specific type of humor isn't for you, but I have to disagree that the humor is misplaced in this show.
I suppose that's also why Blood Stalk/Evolto stands out so much in comparison to everyone else, really. Quote:
"Cool" is a very inappropriate adjective to describe Cross-Z Magma, haha. I like the design, but I think it should've kept a little more of Cross-Z Dragon's original navy color. Grease's motif is robot, basically a type of computer, which react badly to high temperatures, so that's probably why Cross-Z is the one who gets the fiery power-up instead as dragons are known for their impressive magma-proof scales. It's not like Ryuuga isn't hotblooded as well, so I think it suits him just fine.

I believe there was some kind of rumour that one of Build's best matches was a music-based form and that the Beat Crosser was to be that form's weapon. I forget if it's one of those things we had actual leaks and credence for or if it's just speculation, but it makes sense when nothing about the Beat Crosser lines up with Cross-Z at all.
Still... cool sword! The sword in and of itself is very cool though, yeah.

Yeah, I really do have to agree with this and I say this as somebody that really liked Kintaros' and Ryuutaros' introductions to the series. Thankfully, the show did start picking things up for me from the Wolf Imagin two-parter onwards. I'm currently up to episode 24 and I'm already very close to the show's halfway point.

And I'm hoping that I can find more "encyclopedic" info regarding Rider serieses that surpassed the wikis. But so far I only found akinoame's Ryuki and OOO analysis, and I guess also Fish's Kuuga rewatch. I found a Build one almost, but it stopped at middle part at ep. 22. Quote:

But even more there's also lies the deceptive power of humor, the troublesome nature of the joke content; If someone confronts a joke-teller, or speaking out against even mild forms of inappropriate behavior, there's a risk of being shamed for being over-sensitive and refusing to play along (phrases like "can't you take a joke", "you must be fun at parties"), the pressure to play along to avoiding social exclusion or ridicule as humor is also a form of social dominance. And this can send false feedback that any of those people, they can shamelessly get away from what they did due to normalizing those acts.

I just finished watching Movie Wars Mega Max movie and I practically loved every single minute of the film and I can easily see why this is one of the best, if not the best, Kamen Rider crossover movies that has ever been made. Plus, I now know what Kamen Rider season/series I’m planning to watch next after finishing up on Den-O and it’s Fourze since I’ve already seen W and OOO and I've been meaning to watch this series at some point anyway.

Kamen Rider Saber - Trio of Deep Sin!
I may have forgotten this existed, but finaly got round to it. Pretty good, all things considered. Given the chance to breathe, it's very melancholic, with all 3 of the main cast given a chance to shine (less Rintaro though, his portion feels the most rushed). Do I understand what happened at the end? Ehhhhhhh about 40%. But I get the emotional point of it - Touma really did connect with that kid as his protector and dad and prove he does care about the "little people". Also icey Falchion looks cool.

So I just finished Kamen Rider V3 it was pretty good. Feels like a more focused version of the OG and those last 10 episodes with Riderman was the shot in the arm needed what fantastic follow up.
