Zi-O 2 is cool as heck and I love the color scheme. I'm so glad Decade Armor is dead because goddamn was that form horribly ugly and dull. It didn't even use the Heisei upgrade forms interestingly. Heisaber (HEY! SAY!) was sweet, but Saikyo Glade seems cool too so it's okay. You can tell no one cared because it was never used past the first 5 episodes of its debut. It's awesome how the mirror world and Mirror Sougo actually factored into the plot and acquiring the Zi-O 2 upgrade. Very good episode, excellent arc that brought in Ryuki characters nicely, and I'm really enjoying the direction the show's going in.

That he didn't use the proper Ridewatch to defeat the monster is a slight plot hole, but rule of cool I guess.

Let me clarify

I loving love these things. I think they're easily comparable to Figuarts in terms of quality, maybe better, for only 20 bucks each, and they're way more willing to do out there stuff like Lord Zedd and other villain designs.

The fact that they gave Lord Zedd his tubing and made it a seperate piece is everything I could have asked for and never would have expected.

These are the Hasbro Lightning Collection figures, their adult collector line for Power Rangers. Each Ranger will come with a human head sculpt as well that blow the Figuarts version out of the water.

It isn't a plot hole, it's a demonstration of the power Sougo now has. With complete control over time, the usual rules just don't matter anymore to him.

It's the kind of situation that'd be epic but Zi-O plays it for horror instead, Sougo obtaining this puts him closer than ever to becoming Oma Zi-O, and by all means he's completely unstoppable now, and will only grow even more powerful.

I’m pretty sure that the Build novel, that uses another Kuroto backup, introduces Emu’s dad as a Bad Dad and the man who actually created the virus, and ends with GOD MMX vs Hyper Muteki, was reduced to novel form simply because it’s so loving similar to Build’s endgame to be infuriating.

That's why they went ahead and made it explicit that they couldn't get the Ryuki ridewatch, creating a situation where you need to find a way around the previously established rules.

They couldn't get the Ryuga Ridewatch, which is the one needed here. The Ryuki Ridewatch could probably easily be obtained off Shinji, but there's no point in doing it since the toy was already sold there's no Another Ryuki running around.

For reference, the Ryuga Ridewatch also doesn't exist in reality, so there'd be no point in having it here for sales purpouses. The only secondary Rider from Ryuki that's gotten a Watch released is Knight so far.

You know what secondary Rider did get a Ridewatch though?

It’s sad when the one guy who can’t summon his armor out of nothing gets priority over a main Rider. But, let’s be honest, Shinji was never the “main” Rider of his series.

I'm surprised they didn't get Goro for the Ryuki arc since his actor is toku for life. But Zio II and the ramifications of it are pretty sweet.

Am I reading the wiki stuff correctly that the Shinobi and the Ryuki new episodes are going to be one shot episode deals?

You have no point. I said the Ryuga Ridewatch, which that is most definitely not. There's a difference between a Ridewatch and an Anotherwatch, unless now every Rider is a weird monstrosity, which would be really cool tbh, the Another Rider designs are on point.

Which, by the way, also proves White Woz is either actively hiding the truth or genuinely has no idea what happens after his time despite being the future-themed Rider, because a world where humanity's enslaved by machines sure as hell doesn't seem like a peaceful future to me.

I feel like that’s the sort of thing Black Woz should bring up: the future with new Kamen Riders is one doomed to face new existential threats with mass casualties every year. Look at the last main villain: the only reason he didn’t devour the world before the climax is because he was waiting to find a way to move on after eating it with less effort.

Oma Zi-O, horrible as he may be, keeps some level of consistency and ensures nothing can threaten the planet again. They need to explain why he’s so loyal to a genocidal madman to begin with and considering him a lesser evil is a good place to start.

On the other hand Takaharu's presence made me very nervous because I was flinching at his every line, knowing it was coming and unable to do anything to prevent it. moete kitaaaa
