I'm excited for next week's Zi-O. Out of all the series there's been, Faiz for some reason receives an incredible amount of love and care in the stuff they've done post-series with it, and I'm happy with that.

Craptacular! posted:My thought for a while is Noel is secretly a gangler. We already know gangler can appear as humans because of that frozen guy who hasn’t appeared in forever, and our only proven example of a gangler in disguise is a Japanese dude dressed in a poncho using gratuitous Spanish like some kind of bad impression of foreigner stereotypes. Loads of the Gangler have been disguised as humans as part of their plan, though? The cameraman from the worst episode? The aerobics instructor?

Woz is great, and I can't wait for him to destroy all the other riders and become the greatest Oma Zi-O.

Pyroi posted:Woz is great, and I can't wait for him to destroy all the other riders and become the greatest Oma Zi-O. But Woz is the one person that actually wants Sougo to become Oma Zi-O, I don't think he wants the power for himself. He's just very happy with a future ruled by a tyrant evil demon lord with all the Rider powers ever. Considering what the Time Jackers have said, he's also the one person in this series that is succeeding. Despite Tsukuyomi's efforts, Sougo is only getting closer to his future self and he keeps getting more powers and erasing more Riders. And despite the Time Jackers' efforts, the Another Riders never last enough to take that Time King crown, whatever the hell that implies. The quality of cameos this time was rock-bottom but at least it never felt like Gentaro was just forgotten, so that was acceptable. FourzeArmor is also pretty cool, even if it didn't have a funny moment like the previous two, but Another Fourze doing every pose made up for it. Next time is Faiz and...actually, how the hell are these two alive? Both of them should be dead. I expect 6.5 to focus on that, but it may just be due to alterations to time...or it's just, you know, fanservice. That's fully acceptable too.

Yeah, Faiz should at least be dead. Either erased from the timeline via the Drive time-fuckery movie, or just end of lifespan'd due to being an Orphnoch.

Obviously, when the whole thing with Badan went down, Masato escaped from Hell. Takumi got time hosed by the Kamen Rider 4 mess, so now he's just alive and well. Or it's actually the Great Leader. One of the two.

They’re all quirky, and Noel certainly has his quirks and logic holes. Wouldn’t surprise if Lupinranger is simply a plot to knock off gangler leadership from within, and Noel’s job is to infiltrate the police so they don’t get too close to figuring it out.

There's no reason to assume that at least two instances of Noel being visibly affected by the Lupinranger damage were lies for the camera. Kogure is obviously suspicious but if Noel is acting he's done a lot of acting for the benefit of people who would not benefit him by being fooled or in situations where it would be to his detriment. There is something different about him because he needs others to summon his vehicles (and honestly this might simply be because he doesn't have a VS Changer), but the show hasn't put any suspicious light on his claims that he's trying to save somebody same as the other Lupinrangers.

My money is on Noel being a collection piece and trying to save Arsene, or something equally just weird out there like that. Also lol at not noticing the police yelling at ganglers to stop in their megaphones and beat the crap out of them while they're lined up and standing still while their megaphone batons are yelling to stop resisting arrest. Nope, nosiree, nothing toxic about this police force.

I remember Dekaranger was weird because they had this infalible judgement system in place, but at least they had some sort of due process instead of Ganglers being universally evil just because so that it's okay to blow them up. And you know sometimes the first suspect wasn't actually guilty and the Dekarangers made mistakes! Instead in Lupat we have one time a Gangler might be good turn out surprise, they were being manipulated by a collection piece and are actual evil just like the rest.

If he is, it's grand or great-grand. Him being Lupin descendant is just kinda too obvious plotline, but we are talking about children's morning TV.

I mostly agree with you but I don't think that's the end of it. The series has been very careful about actually revealing Noel's goals, and he escaped in uncharacteristic fear from a Collection piece whose only known effect was to reveal the truth or something to that extent. He's hiding something, very blatantly at that, so that alone makes him hard to trust.

I feel it's important to remember that we aren't seeing random Ganglers here. They aren't just normal people sent to fight, every single Gangler we've seen is part of the mafia, who are, you know, usually not particularly nice people. I still feel there's a weird police brutality feel to it all but that's normal for these shows, pretty much the only series I felt did it right was Timeranger (and, adaptation-wise, SPD), and ultimately I can kind of see how the series wants us to just accept "they're all evil" because this isn't the whole race, just a particular subset that, again, is the mafia.

See, I don't think there is such a thing as random, non-mafia Ganglers. As far as the show has gone, they're a race of all-mafiosos. There's no deep lore here, they're just monsters in a kids show.

I expect 6.5 to focus on that, but it may just be due to alterations to time...or it's just, you know, fanservice. That's fully acceptable too. Another Faiz is alive, and when an Another Rider exists, the timeline is altered so that the original Rider never existed. This would mean Kusaka wouldn't have used the Kaixa Gear (because it doesn't exist) and wouldn't have died from that, and as for Takumi I think you can make the argument that he just hasn't died yet. We did see Orphnochs that were older, so it's not as if they don't live past 30 or something. Or it could've just altered the timeline so that Orphnochs didn't exist. Riders come into being in response to a threat existing, so if that threat disappears, the reason for the Rider existing would be too. In fact, we kind of see proof of that in this week's episode. When Another Fourze is created, not only does Gentaro stop being Fourze, the Zodiarts he's fighting vanishes too.

Im curious if people who should be dead in their regular timeline are aware of the change. Speculative spoilers Based off context clues it appears Another Fourze/Faiz first came from the Faiz timeline. He has been using the Another Rider power to keep the current Libra girl alive but the power started failing. This explains the Libra girls weariness when she first appeared. It also explains why the guy didnt freak out meeting the Timejacker in Fourze's time and why the Timejacker (forgot his name) didnt ask for a contract and instead called it an experiment when he shoved Another Fourze in him. Either this or now not being dead made Kusaka aware of what was going on and so ,in classic Kusaka fashion, he is trying to kill the girl cause he thinks it will correct the timeline.

Hmm, you might be right. Kusaka is a piece of poo poo and uses the hell out of people but at least as far as I remember he wasn't murderously violent towards anyone that wasn't an Orphnoch, so something else might be going on. I didn't even catch those context clues.

The Kamen Rider Zi-O episode was fun but the Fourze stuff really did feel like a last minute rewrite. What did the "shooting star" plot point have to do with anything? Maybe we'll find out next week, but it's weird to specifically bring up Ryusei when, as far as we know, his actor isn't coming back either. Maybe they were originally planning to have him on but couldn't? Either way, the Kamen Rider Club's ongoing existence is a fun bit of fanservice, even if it now seems made up of dweebuses.

I love that Geiz's sole contribution to defeating the Another Riders is working out anger issues. Each episode he keeps hitting the loving things, knowing that it won't do anything but he's a little more mellow each time afterwards.

The Ryusei School was a plot point in Faiz, but it's been so long ago, and Faiz didn't really have that coherent a long term plot, that I don't know how it was supposed to be a good clue from Woz.
