Hope they've still got something cool in store for her, at least. Ex-Aid has been kinder to its female riders than any other KR I can think of, really hoping they don't drop the ball in the home stretch.

Good news: She's in True Ending, which is set after the series, so she can't die.

Finally catching up to Ex-Aid. I'm on episode 17. I guess this is a nice break in a weird episode sort of way.

Edit: Also, what's the point of Nico besides adding another female character to the cast? I guess it's to give Taiga someone to bounce off of since he's generally in his own little corner reserved for secondary/tertiary Riders.

It's not well explained in the show because it was left to the Snipe 1&2 mini, but Taiga really needs a friend.

maybe this is just grandpa's sour grapes, but the people go all in on ex-aid seem to not care about the maximum mighty suit because it's stupid in a characteristically ex-aid way making it cute and/or hilarious in spite of it being terrible looking and bad for action

Something I'm wondering as I start episode 27: This is the third or fourth series I've what are essentially "generic" riders in. Did it start with Wizard and the Kamen Rider Mages or were there something similar before that?

Faiz had some generic storm trooper riders called Riotroopers. I believe they were the first ones.

Yeah, TheBee got passed around a lot in that series but I think the first generic Riders were the Riotroopers from Faiz (though there were some Shocker developed Rider clones that appeared towards the end of the original series if you want to count those).

The funny thing is, they weren't even clones.

They were just straight up loyal to Shocker Kamen Riders.

For the most part, when an evil doppelganger showed up in the Showa series, it was a monster pretending to be a Rider. It's why Shadow Moon got so much love and attention

But yeah, the depending on what you count as generic Rider, the original would be the first group of evil Kamen Riders.

Otherwise if you mean foot soldiers, Fiaz or Kamen Rider The Next would be your best bet

This has probably come up before, but I really love the way they wrote Masamune's dialogue. If he's not putting up a facade he literally never uses anyone's name, rather referring to them solely as product, it's great.

I actually like Maximum Mighty X, it's like a grown up level 1; not that good for fight scenes though.
But the gameshark that is Muteki is gaudy in the best way and I like how they tackled literally invincible still not being enough to win all fights.

I liked how that all panned out a lot. Like, he could brute force the fight, but it would have been a stalemate against Gemdeus Masumune if his friends hadn't been there. Being invincible only goes so far if your attacks are just doing chip damage to the boss.

Ex-Aid as a series has possibly the most bizarre and interesting series of forms yet. At this point most of them have really unique and bizarre powers that have made every fight a little weird and different, like pausing, delayed finishers, invincibility, reprogramming, continues, power-up access, splitting in two in order to access your brain tumor who is also your little brother... A lot of things have had continued re-uses for their specific powers as well. It's been interesting.

Hero will never give up,
never hide,
never be defeated,
never accept evil.
The cool thing about Maximum is it can fight independent of Ex-Aid himself, though I think that's only happened once or twice.

The best part of Maximum Mighty X is when Emu ejects out of it and kicks a ton of rear end as the level 99 version of his base form, which kind of makes the armor a failure imo.

He'd probably sing JUSTICE rather than Wish in the dark though. That is his song, after all.

Restart!

Also the toku fandom genuinely needs a group entirely focused on translating songs.

And now I'm reminded of the bit in Faiz where it turns out that the ominous Latin chanting in Murakami's office is actually him playing a CD in universe to sound cooler. I love how lame that guy is.

The best part of MMX is when it sort of ambles around on it's own and shoots lasers out of it's giant eyes.

It also has a dual purpose in a crossover film I watched raw and don't believe has been subbed yet: The Kyurangers make MMX grow to Megazord size, and a huge rear end Emu stomps around the field fighting alongside the Kyu-robo. That seems like something that would betray the essence of Kamen Rider, but it works given that dumb suit.

EDIT: Absolutely yes, that scene would have been way more stupid with any suit besides MMX.

I love when they do transformation/costume gags like that. Movie Wars Full Throttle is pretty bad for the most part but the part when Drive and Gaim are too bulky to get into Tridoron and have to go back to base forms to sit down is the best.

...is it? I thought it was just supposed to be Dan's Game Genie that hacks invincibility into you. I'm pretty sure it's a Super Sonic/Super Saiyan joke.
