I'm going to disagree. Gold is almost certainly a Baron upgrade, but the decal on the belt piece for Silver strongly reminds me of Gaim's helmet. Kouta doesn't really need another upgrade with Triumphant Arms, but Silver looks like it's designed for him.

E: Then again, there's also that third silhouette on the left in the top panel. It's kinda weird.

Wow, that was really goofy. I did like Takatora as Forze: "It's space ti- That's about as much as I'll humor that."

Though watching Micchy as Double was infuriating. It's time to count up your sins you say? No, it's time for you to count up your sins Micchy. :argh:

I was all ready to hate this episode for interrupting the plot but that was actually pretty fun. Ryoma is the best.

THAT PREVIEW THOUGH!

Next episode: Everything explodes everywhere, poo poo going down hard, Kiwami lockseed.

You could skip it and not miss anything but you shouldn't skip it because it was really fun and much better than the train Power Rangers crossover was.

I can't believe they made a crossover commercial episode not only fit into the story of gaim, but incredibly enjoyable to boot.

I don't think it really fits anywhere (certainly not after episode 29, which ends with one of the Overlords warping to Zawame), but at least it didn't have anyone acting really out of character like the last one did.

EDIT

This glorious thing just showed up on my twitter feed.

Gonna be kinda sad if the next lockseed upgrade doesn't keep Rise Up Your Flag. I haven't seen much in the way of suit pictures so it might not even HAVE flags, but it's probably my favorite insert song for getting hype, even over Extreme Dream and Leave All Behind.

Also while writing this I realized that I didn't even know what Infinity's theme was and had to look it up.


Edit: I also just started watching Black. Is it one of those series where I should hit certain episodes, or is it worth watching the whole thing?

Black has sprees where it dedicates itself to the plot and those are really when it's top tier and unbeatable.

But, honestly, if you think you can marathon MOTW stuff, watch all of it. The energy of the show is fantastic, the acting from Kotaro is great, and the monster suits are, with few exceptions, stellar.

If you'd prefer a more no nonsense watch of Black, ask here and I'll make a guide.

Someone really needs to do a "watch only these episodes" of OOO because like half that series was completely pointless. I love it, but I'd never just blindly subject anyone else to the middle again.

I've only seen the first two episodes so far, and I'll take your word for it and just marathon or skip over MOTW stuff if it becomes boring. The spider suits were legit awesome although I did spend a good bit of time laughing my rear end off at the were-leopard or whatever that thing in episode 2 was.

Yeah, those two are a good back to back example of GOOD MOTW suit and BAD MOTW suit that you can expect. Thankfully the good far out weighs the bad.

I will warn, we get children related MOTW plots that are kind of awful later except for all of the monster and Rider stuff, and there is one episode you should skip at all costs-the one with the loving Buffalo.

The hospital episode was quite possibly the dumbest plot I have ever seen in my life. They set up car crashes and then took dudes to a hospital they controlled so that they could be made into international terrorists. That isn't a bad plan at all, if you just want to cause chaos. However, they didn't use any sort of mind control or physical alterations. They treated their injuries and used their gratitude to the doctor that worked on them as the only method of control. Then they got a truck driver to serve as their drill sergeant, and their training consisted of smacking each other with rifles and running through explosions. When they got fed up with all of the bullshit on what I recall as the first day, they sent a monster in to kill all of the trainee terrorists. I started skimming episodes looking for plot development after that.

I remember really liking that episode for how silly the whole thing was. I don't think there was a single episode of Black I found unentertaining, but Golgom is very incompetent except on the rare occasions they aren't and most of the last 15 or so episodes. I think my favorite was an early episode where they want to slow or stop human technological progress so they make a few computer engineers depressed. And that's all they do for the entire episode. I'd still call the MOTW in Black better than the stuff I've seen in Heisei Rider shows, it's just really well done even when the premise is bizarre or stupid. Also the monsters have the decency to only last for an episode before getting blown up.

That's a lot of why I don't like Black much. Kotaro is very intense in his hatred for Golgom, but they were incompetent and silly. Golgom is initially presented as this far-reaching and influential secret society from which there is no escape, but nope, it has like 5 human members total and they are also kind of stupid. There is just that bizarre disconnect between the premise and the execution.

Did you know, there are three kind of Riders? Those who seek strength, those who live for justice, and those who can read the tide of apple? ...Those are the three.

And him? He was a Kamen Rider they called solo wing micchy. This man was his buddy.

He is the man I seek.

It was a warm and fruity day.

The Invess war was shrouded in mystery. Everybody's a hero. And a villain. And noone knows who is he victim, and who is the aggressor. And what is peas?
