I marathoned this over the past week and man it is so good. I stayed away because Wizard completely lost me, but I'm glad this is hitting all the right notes for me.

I hope the show spreads around some of these upgrades because, while I get why thematically, it's been extremely one-sided in Kouta's favor. I like seeing everyone getting cool as heck new forms, so I hope that changes soon. I hope Kaito receives an upgrade... and doesn't get killed by the Overlord Inves, which I'm expecting at this point. RIP Kaito. Your strength brought you places, but not far enough. Really, I'll be shocked if Kaito is living past the next 2-3 episodes, since there was endless death flags this week. Well, either that or he becomes Kouta's ally for real this time.

I want to see Sid use his S lockseed. Plus I do not think Kaito will die so soon since he's gotta meet the mysterious girl again. Now is the perfect set up too: he will get beat up real bad by the Overlord and the girl will nurse him back to health. I'm gonna guess that if he does die, it'll be protecting her.

Man, i hope to god Micchy doesn't wind up being the last boss of this show.

I hope he gets punked on by an overlord and then just cries for the rest of the series :mad:

It's interesting that Kouta fell into the power trap as well. Mai was even there to talk him out of it but it didn't work! I liked how during the Rider Alliance reaction to Demushu being powered up, they kept cutting to Kouta. Maybe, just maybe, Kaito will have to cut down Kouta instead :allears:

Also where's the mysterious girl?


and where's that drat horse!?

The weird thing is, I get the feeling like...Kouta is still off. I'm not sure what it is, but he still doesn't feel...

It's strange. He doesn't yet feel like an adult I guess. He's still too...soft, too... I'm really not sure how to express it. And his quest for ever more power, that seems like a very bad thing, the wrong path. A hero shouldn't actively seek power like this. Part of it I guess might just be the toy aspect of the show, gotta push those forms, but the writing seemed to say that Kouta taking this power wasn't the best idea. I hope it pays off and he can finish maturing soon.

He hasn't really changed much since his last power up, character wise.

It's almost like they're trying to provoke some parallels with Kamen Rider Kuuga and his message of power-only Kuuga was brutally honest in that regard. Power, while necessary, is not good. Much like violence. And it can result in some nasty loving poo poo. Kouta hasn't had to deal with his quest for power backfiring in his face yet, and I really hope he does because that's one of the BEST things about Kuuga. Kuuga, like Kouta, sought more power to save lives-and had so much power he accidentally NUKED A PREFECTURE TO DUST. Kouta just gets fancy new toys and it's all cool and awesome.

It's cause he doesn't have the horse yet :colbert:

Like I said the other day, if you think Fourze's ending is episode 48, you're wrong. Movie War Ultimatum tied everything in that series into a perfect little bow. You have to put up with some Wizard bullshit but the Fourze stuff does a great job of giving a satisfying conclusion.

Hell, the only real problem with Fourze's ending episode was the last five minutes. The "final battle" was really loving good.

Did they ever get those people out of the space station?

Don't tell me you weren't excited to see Kouta's....what are we up to now, 4th dramatic long lecture from someone who knows more about the situation than him that culminates in Kouta going 'I'm gonna be a hero!' and becoming more powerful.

well if he did that while riding a horse i'd be ok with it

Everyone has been getting rider kicks lately. Is that how they're showing that people have complete resolve?

Kaito is the best.

the blade break into stab was lame as hell. it seemed like the writers just up and remembered that kouta had to win and then he did so. and to cap it off there was the really bad "you are truly strong" death scene. you were beating his rear end kaito don't accept that cheating rear end motherfucker

also no horses
