Tomoko is your host as she talks about Amazon. Will the Charabusa team break the dominance of the Ichigou/Nigou team once and for all or fail?
I thought it was funny when Tomoko kept going up to Yuuki during the Thinking Time segments.

Moar lesbing!
I probably enjoyed this one most of all. They're all pretty comfortable with each other and they joke around a lot.
Also I remembered the name of the bracelet from Decade, whoo. I would've won Ryuusei Chance.

Amazon looked like it was a hilarious show. I guess I should explain Charabusa Team. Yuuki's part is simple, it's Hayabusa of Hayabusa-kun fame.
JK is from chara which is a term for a "flippant, jokey" attitude. They actually used it in the quiz last time in one of the questions. They were like "it can't be that one, since chara is a recent term" and "an example of chara would be JK". I don't really know the etymology of this word, but chame means "playful, mischievous" so maybe it's related?

Ichigou Nigou team strikes gold once again.
Loved Nozama as the host.
I kinda cringed when JK(I think) mentioned Lady Gaga's poker face, seeing as how I completely HATE Lady Gaga and anything related TO her, but oh well.
Now I wish TV-Nihon could sub Amazon, it looks like a show I would wanna watch.

OMG, Tomoko was so hot in this segment, and she was pretty funny.

Yeah I was waiting for this one because of my love for Nozama. Only one who has not hosted is Gentarou, but is his name based off of Kamen Rider Stronger? I would not know because I'm not that well versed in Japanese names.

You really need to read our wiki since we mentioned that Gentarou is the only one whose name isn't related to a past Kamen Rider.

The wiki always crashes my browser for some reason. Don't really know why.

By the Gods, Nozama doing the Amazon war cry (i know it´s actually the henshin but that is how i call it) is the most adorable thing i have seen all week. I really get the feeling that the actors get more comfortable around each other with every passing Quiz. Fun Fact: While Amazon´s name is Yamamoto Daisuke, he is never called like that in the series, the only person who mentions it is the narrator (voiced by Naya Goro AKA the Great leader. Yes, that one) at the beginning of the first episode, after that the name is never mentioned again and no one really cares, Amazon is just Amazon.

I love the quizes, I love seeing how silly the actors can get when not just acting the lines. But most of all in this episode, I love absolutely love how surprised everyone was with how bloody the fight got in Amazon, how squeamish most of them were.... Tomo-chan, you have plenty of appeal, you don't need extra appeal, but I thank you for it.

I was really looking forward to seeing Tomoko take the lead on this quiz - she didn't disappoint! Absolutely adorable!  Although, to take a leaf from Ivanhobe's book, another "Fun Fact": they referred to Condorer as Amazon's henshin belt, but actually he's one of the few Riders who doesn't use his belt to transform. If anything, it's the GiGi Armlet which allows it.
