Wait, Grateful isn't his final form?

He doesn't get his final form until episode 31/32/33

I can say this with all confidence because that's just how the show works now as part of one of the weird toyetic formulas that goes with Kamen Rider as of Double onwards.

Drive did it at 33, and Wizard did it 31. The rest all got theirs at episode 32 because toys.


The really weird thing is that Gaim even did it dead on despite not having the two episode formula.


EDIT: Though to be fair, OOO's final form, if you want to get REALLY technical, is either his actual first form, or his Red form, because OOOs actually played around with the forms a fair bit. Its one thing I really like about OOOs.

I know they have the formula, but...eh. Grateful really comes across as final form-esque to me. I mean, it apparently lets him use the power of all fifteen Eyecons, which makes it really similar to Fourze and Gaim's final forms.

Then again, Wizard had All-Dragon as his mid-season thing, so there's that, I guess.

it is getting good, but they are still really relying a little too hard on characters pointing things out as questions and implying they know things without admitting them

Also, we know mr. scaryteeth, makato's, and takeru's motivations but it's implied that sage, alan, javel ALL have seperate and highly secret plans for the 15 eyeballs.
loving last rider war there were only two riders who were serious about the Forbidden Fruit, this game has so many players, man.

At least Yurasen remains pure. He wants eyeballs because he's just a greedy lil eyemonster, and also the Best Character.

Yurusen is a close second for me after Kamen Rider Anger, but I do like Expired Ticket very much.

I sense someone talking about... GUNDAM!
Yurusen's character is kind of weird.

We have no idea who she is, she hasn't really done much but summon the bike and the ridiculous iguana and occasonally quip, and the role of mentor/supporting character of that type is awkwardly split between her and the Sage. I can't tell if they're just going to gloss over her being around, or if who she is will be incredibly important.

I like that Ghost's plot is completely unpredictable at this point, but that doesn't mean that what we get will be particularly interesting. And Takeru is possibly even blander than Haruto, because at least Haruto didn't parrot the same two lines over and over while being overall kind of wimpy. Takeru feels like he barely does anything between punching Ganma. And at least Haruto had a great personality whenever he was allowed to have it and bounced off of Beast well.

I think the thing about Takeru is that we don't really know how he's going after this. He spent the first 10 episodes in some level of 'holy poo poo I'm dying'. Which is understandable; for all intents and purposes during that time period, it really didn't look like he was sure he could save his own life, much less someone else's; he wasn't very heroic at all, but he had also just died and I can at least identify with someone whose a little shell shocked at being dead. If that was an intended observation; like the idea was to show Takeru was legitimately having issues coming to terms with his impending demise and couldn't really grasp it, it's a good concept that was okay at execution provided that this moment here in episode 11 is where he stops doing that, because it's character growth.

But this last episode he's kind of grown past that, it seems. He didn't fret at engaging Javel, who had already shown was highly capable of destroying him if he wasn't going to go all out, and he didn't think twice, really, about giving up his live to save someone else's. That's a heroic trait, and if this becomes the moment where he stops being wimpy and instead becomes brave and willing to take risks to save people, then that's gonna change the series a lot, but it depends on how it goes. There's nothing wrong with a Kamen Rider whose kind of uncertain but does it in a brave way; Ryotaro is kind of wimpy and uncertain, but he's also brave and willing to engage things way above his weight class because it's the right thing to do.

Alan doesn't have a plan for the eyecons, does he? He seemed surprised that they had as much power as they did. His power seems to be something involving the Gamna World taking over the Human World or something, and Javel seems to have the same idea, but just be more knowledgable about the Eyecons.

I don't know what the Sage wants.

The sage wanted Takeru to wish himself back to life. The reason is still unclear, but the wishing process was obviously a big deal.

that's probably right about aran and javel, still put them at slightly differing sides if they aren't quite working together and sharing all their notes, and I kind of thought the ganma were just being commanded by bad teeth

but for sage, he did mutter some mysterious poo poo at bad teeth at takeru instead of being a goofy goober. Seems to be dissapointed at Takeru for not bringing himself back, commented that "he'll be an old man" if he has to wait for him? and that he wasn't paying attention to how many eyeballs bad teeth had but that he cannot accomplish what he intendeds to without a belt?

at the very least he might not be nefarious like I thought he might be but he's differently playing a game and has his own desires here.
My own guess is that he wants to incarnate into Takeru's revived body.

As for badteeth, Necrom's identity has not been leaked, but my money is on that guy. He's a ghostologist and much smarter than sage, so he probably knows that he'd SHOULD need a belt but may have built an alternative, and Necrom's gear is supposedly super science substitutes for the usual. AND everyone kind of forgot about him...

Badteeth might be controlling some Ganma but not all; he clearly has no authority over Javel, and Aran is apparently the 'High Prince' of the Ganma, from what Javel said. according to some leaked info Aran also has an older Brother, who was the one who sent Javel in the first place, so it seems like Aran and Badteeth were working for mutually beneficial practices or Aran was using Badteeth and letting him have some of the Ganma in order to advance his own plan.

I sincerely doubt that they will make the snaggle-toothed old man be the third rider. He is dead, ganma are ghosts, so why wouldn't he come back as some sort of ganma? Now, if it was just creating the belt but not using it that would be another matter entirely.

Yes. It's only ten episodes, and there's some good moments in those ten.

"gently caress Ninninger" was my reaction to it as well, but the three Akaningers might not be all Takaharu, but rather grandpa, dad and son all together as Akaningers. Yoshitaka was always shown with a black and red suit, so it isn't a stretch to say that he might've been the previous Akaninger.

That said, it also basically sets in stone that Takaharu will be the Last Ninja because gently caress everyone that isn't Takaharu, I guess.
