In another show, if someone came to you and said "You're the chosen savior. You can save the world." That'd probably be all there was to it, and the hero would just proceed in doing that. In this show, when it comes from DJ Sagara, you can't help but wonder what else is going on.

Anyone notice that Sagara's voice is getting more echoy?

Kiwami Arms is OP as shit. Too bad his head looks like a turnip. At least it doesn't seem as bad as Maximum Rider Zecter though in that it steals the other Riders' powers.

Edit: Ryouma's blasting off again~

Looks like Malika finally realized that Ryouma isn't the guy she thought he was. He probably prepared a special space station when things start to go extremely south.

Micchi, just become Redue's bitch.

[Arigomi]

Yggdrasill Tower finally lives up to its namesake of being the world tree.

It was interesting to see a group of Riders pull off a sentai teamwork battle without Decade getting involved.

Micchi, just become Redue's bitch.

Redyue wants it so bad >:D

I actually LOVE Kiwami arms. I love the silver, I love the cape, I love the rainbow visor... It's just a hit with me. (Also, Kouta's/Takaiwa's butt is framed PERFECTLY and it's GREAT /o/;; )

Sagara I trust you as far as I can throw you and it's not far AT ALL.

I'm REALLY worried about Kouta now. >_>

It was very heavily and not at all subtly (as in someone else outright said it and she... neither confirmed nor denied) hinted early on (well, early for her appearances) that she was only siding with him temporarily because she thought doing so would further her own ends and that she would strike ahead when she had the chance. In other words, she was using him.

Also, Ryouma probably is just going to hang out with his pals on the M-BUS for the weekend. He wasn't really escaping. It just coincidentally line up with that. Yep...

P.S. How I chose to describe Kiwami Arms when I first saw it: It's like the good parts of Fourze's super mode without looking as totally ridiculous, and with a mechanism that activates it that actually makes sense as a super mode activator rather than just being another normal thing like every other form change item.

[BTW, Take, I think you may be thinking of the Perfect Zecter.]

[Catastrophe]

New form gives me Wizard design vibes. I wonder how they'll handle Rider vs Rider now that Gaim is super OP?

[Connie_Edogawa]

Kiwami actually looks fine in motion. seeing it in just still images and the preview for this episode before now, it didn't completely gel with me. and even though I know it's based on a samurai armor of some sort, the pointed white head and mostly white body had me concerned that, were it not for the colors on the suit, people would say we went from Kamen Rider Wizard to Kamen Rider Grand Wizard.

Kiwami Arms reminds me of Blade King Form, Kabuto, and Fourze Cosmic State. Also a bit of Shining Agito.

[Actar]

Brilliant, brilliant episode. I love how Kiwami Arms is a culmination of all the other Arms as it just seeks to reinforce Kouta as a leader and unifier. Kiwami Arms is also starting to grow on me big time design-wise, but I just wished that they had incorporated the fruit motif better, ala Blade King Form and all the Undead images.

Also, there is a "DaiDaiMaru" at 20:44. It's supremely faint, but it's there.

By the way, is there a reason that they started using this really bizarre echo filter for all the sound effects? It just makes it so distracting, soft and hard to hear.

I also thought of Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity when I saw Kouta transform.

I can see Blade, Fourze and Agito. I'm not sure about Kabuto though. Unless it's how he fights, then yeah I totally see it.

But yeah, this episode was awesome.

It's a mystery to us. We're assuming the sound effect guy is just on drugs though. In case you guys haven't noticed, check the sound effects for the last month's effects. It's smothered as shit and hard to discern.

[Kogashi]

So... how long do we have to wait for a parody pic of Gaim using the Fruits Basket key/lock/thingy, and the cast of Fruits Basket comes raining down on him?

Sagara, I do not think you the Devil... But I do think you plan to see Kouta destroy himself with the power you gave him, and the goal of becoming an Overlord you have pointed him at.

... Ya know in all of this, what with people liking to point to the Garden of Eden comparison and the Fruit of Knowledge of good and evil and the Snake and if he's Satan or not... I find it refreshing that the woman in this mix is not the cause of man taking forbidden or evil power and instead pointing out how STUPID of an idea this sounds like.

[DrowningFishy]

Kiwami - Kouta has now become a fruit salad... Now I want fruit salad.

[Philip Aldraine]

What Sagara said has me worried.

Yeah I caught that too that it Mentions Gaims first primary weapon
