KRW 45 released

[takenoko]

Looks like I forgot to edit my picture to include Nao as Hachi Onna. Well, there's always next week

[Catastrophe]

That reminds me. I was looking forward to Trial vs Sumilidon. I was expecting it to be more epic. Although, the way Philip broke him was quite unique.

Also, time is counting down and both LJ and CT maximum drives haven't been done yet.

Man Terror Dragon was pretty impressive and scary as hell.

It's entirely possible they're saving these for the movie. Maybe the effects are so epic they need a movie budget for it. Considering CJ's is the Rider Kick, HJ is the Rider Punch, that leaves LJ as the Rider Chop most likely.

Anyway, this episode was AMAZING. It answered a lot of questions, but of course brings up more, as a good series should do. I wonder what's in those other Sonozaki related books. Wakana... she seems to know everything now, yet she still remains loyal to Museum without any hint of brainwashing at this point. There must be some reason...

Also, Ryubee is Gendo Ikari and Philip is Shinji Ikari. Which makes Wakana Rei Ayanami I guess. Does that mean Ryu is Asuka? Guess that leaves Shotaro to be Toji Suzuhara. Why? Because Ryubee's plans are starting to sound an awful lot like the Human Instrumentality Project.

Finally, another giant monster.

I have the exact opposite reaction to seeing giant monsters in KR. The CG is just never good enough to hold up to even the slightest of scrutiny. KR works best with suit monsters, and I wish it had never started using big CG monsters. I'm okay with it in Hibiki, because that was kind of Hibiki's shtick, and it didn't start life as a KR series. Otherwise though, they always just feel out of place.

I'll be honest though, this one,and Quetzalcoatl dopant, weren't so bad.

[Fidchell]

those two looked very aztec, maybe there is some sort of theme with the sonozaki and the aztec history.


<_< raito is dead... huh...that's interesting...

Spoiler

maybe now We can see it as Wakana not being brainwashed but rather wating to meet with her brother again. I mean, If Raito fell in and became one with earth, then Wakana being closest to Phillip would likely want him to be around her...

[chickdigger802]

zombie rider ftw.

So does this mean wakana is also dead? It seems only spirits can enter the library so unless she can detach her spirit freely....

w/e pretty nice eps. Kinda wish Extreme had more variety though. The final forms in W pales in comparison to there normal forms imo.

[Leonite Rider]

Technicly CT has been shown, but Bat Enhanced. And its likely that, to capitalise on the 3d, LJ is in the movie.

Intrestingly, this is post-movie. Not a bad idea,now if you want to make Akiko Skull at the last minute she has a plot device to do so.

I can't be the only one that was starled by this thing:

Oh my.... It's SCARY as hell !

I wonder how many japanese kids will have nightmares because of this...

[sorry for the previously used term, I'm not a native english speaker and to me, it wasn't racist]

[kaemmerite]

The first thing I thought with Philip's big plot reveal was Kenshiro saying "You are already dead."

But wow, this was a really good episode. Except for the "dowsing slippers." Eh well, she DID end up finding the Evil Tail, so I guess I can't complain about it.

I'm also guessing this happens after the movie, and that's why Fuuto tower is destroyed.

Terror at work, folks!

Also, time is counting down and both LJ and CT maximum drives haven't been done yet.

Well I remember in Kiva there was one finisher instance that hasn't been used (Emperor + Dogga Bassha), so I wouldn't be surprised if they skip altogether. (Or as someone else said, maybe in the movie)

As for my own comments? Indiana Jane there is a fool, for one. But I'm not surprised that they'd have some unwitting fool bring whatever this evil tail is to Ryuubee. To be fair though, Mikku would have found it if they left it alone (though Shotaro and co. probably should have smashed it while they had it. But that would end things too early now would it?)

I kinda expected the Mikku battle to be a bit more... I dunno. More climactic? Though I do love Terui's reaction to learning the true form of the Smilodon dopant.

Also interesting how a cat dopant has better reactions/speed/whatnot, from what we hear from Phillip. Which kinda makes sense perhaps.

Finally, ...dowsing slippers?

I was just about to say "Those last two had great CGI"

[gyozilla]

Man, so far, the only boss defeat I like is Weather's. Saeko lost Taboo fighting Mick instead of the Riders, though I guess she'll get it back and fight the Riders. I'm hoping at least. R. Nazca has been struggling. The way they did Mick was cool but felt anti-climactic.

Ok, so Philip is data zombie. Makes sense Ryuubee gave up on him being the heir and treat him like a tool. But I was hoping for a reason why he favors Wakana as the heiress over Saeko. Why does he think Wakana is so awesome and Saeko is like the disgusting stepsister who's only good for teaching her? Maybe he just does and it doesn't need explaining, but I'm hoping for an answer.

Have they explained how stuff like Invisible, Sweets, or Liar are memories of the Earth?

Your favorite series Ryuki was filled to the ears with CG monsters, and they were pretty good. Elephant Orphnoch in Faiz was slightly meh, Elasmotherium Orphnoch was ok. That said, toku does feel more special when the fighting makes actual contact.

Suda Masaki (Philip) watched Cool Guy and Agito when he was 4; he laughs at today's Japanese wussy kids.

Same here, I was half-expecting Phillip to explode into ludicrous gibs.
