KR Gaim 40 released

Post by DaVinci030 »

Wiki: http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Gaim_40

Now we saw Yuuya transforms into Gaim in the possible future... fighting against Kouta in his 'Inves form'? But I dunno how Yuuya revived.

There's Energy Riders clash between Kaito and Micchi. But I want Kouta to fight Micchi. Come on.
Spoiler
It's a CLASH between Gaim and Roshuo! And what the **** is happened to his Kachidoki Lock Seed?

I liked the parallel between Kouta's visions with his memories of other humans who were turned into Inves. That's such an excellent way of capturing the accumulated guilt that he's had during this series.

Ryouma's invisible mode and his machinations are so funny.

Kouta struggles helplessly with the facemasks then gets distracted by Redue. Kaito comes in and kicks the machine once. Who's the real hero here?

An episode where Kouta realizes what will happen if he does become an Overlord to save the world. The fight scene with Micchy and Kaito was very enjoyable. Loved it when Micchy was like "Am I strong now?" and he replied back "You're just a fool". Ad is it just me or is Kaito focusing on the belt instead of Micchy?

I love how Duke just stealths out and watches a clipshow in his spare time.

Wow. Kaito and Minato wire-fu was awesome. I realized Yuuya actor was slightly bit identical twin to Kouta with blonde hair.

I hope Fruits Basket won't turn him into an Inves but Overlord Daimaoh instead in human vessel, no more monster rider. I remembered my heart was broken watching Takumi turn into Orphenoch. Same goes to Kenzaki.
But more and more I can barely accept the Monster Rider terms when Ichigou was shocker Kaijin called "Hopper"

All the Riders are monsters in some way. Haven't Wizard taught you that by now?

Yeah almost forgot about him. Agito should be the same. But first time I watched Faiz back then I remembered I was same like Mari and Keitarou. Heartbroken....

Seems like kind of a wasted episode. Was there ever the chance Kouta would sacrifice the world for his own personal survival?

I feel like maybe this was an episode to largely save some money to pour into another episode later. No new monsters, no big locations, just a bunch of short scenes with a bunch of people so we all know more or less where everyone is to set up for next week. The only good part was Sagara expositing to Mai.

It seemed that way to me too, like Kaito is trying to destroy the genesis driver so Micchy cant become Zangetsu Shin anymore.

I think it is more of a alternate world where Yuuya didn't get turned into an inves and instead became Gaim.

Ryouma just phase walking out like that was kinda funny. "oh he got hypnotized? time for me to leave"
Spoiler
With all the talk about sacrificing to save the world I'm starting to get a feeling Kouta will die at the end. Maybe like Ryuki with Kouta dying and Kaito having a change of heart

I thought exactly that, what a waste, as if we didn t know what would be the decision of kouta

gaim since a long time ago reminds me of Faiz, in several aspects

This is true, all are monsters who decide to fight by humans, and not by their own species, Wataru wasn't half fangaia?, Philipe was dead and constructed the gaiamemories? Eiji became a greed, Takumi was an orphenoc and so it continues the story, most of them MONSTERS!!
That is what makes them so great!!

i really like that Kaito kick the ass of Michi!! That child deserves a goog taunt !!!

Well it's the best weak point he can go for. Destroy the belt and he'll lose the power permanently. Got to hand it to Kaito for thinking logically on this one rather than just trying to beat him down.

Pretty good episode though. I love seeing a good old guilt trip from a villain against the hero. Especially when you have some really good callbacks to their failings (Not saving Yuuya and Hase, Rat getting injured).

Oh thank goodness it wasn't a multi-episode question of 'oh no, what will Kouta do now that he's realized this. What does this mean? WHAT WILL OUR HERO DO!?' and someone just ups and says 'Well duh, that's how he's always been.'

Still, I would like him to have a Inves for that wasn't just the human hybrid we've seen Yuuya and Hasa become. I would like to think as an Overlord, Kouta would have a more dramatic, original form.

Maybe he will have a unique Overlord form and Redue just used the generic Inves form because she didn't know what we would look like. I mean Yuuya and Hase were infected/ate the fruit, where as it looks like Kouta is directly injecting the forbidden fruit into him with the Kiwami lock seed.

One thing to keep in mind is that the 4 inves forms we saw in this episode were based on the four gods, Kouta/Yuuya was becoming Byakko, the two that jumped in to help were Suzaku and Seiryuu, and the giant turtle hanging out with Reddue was Genbu. They were some of the earliest second tier Inves, human mutants instead of the former animals of Hellheim, and it's your basic elemental set of four.

The real key though is that this was Reddue's psychic attack, role-reversing Kouta and Yuuya so it had to be Kouta turning into the Inves that Yuuya had. Who's to say though that the people of Helheim were human before the forest corrupted them? We don't know how much individual mutation each experienced. Likely Kouta would be something more like Roshuu if he went full overlord.

Overall I thought it was a really good, solid episode. I loved how Kaitou continued to be Mr. Gets Shit Done with kicking the machine and saying he was going to finish off Micchi with no one around to stop him. Of course that could mean taking his belt and then spanking him with it, though I do feel that hellbrat has crossed the moral event horizon already. And of course up to now Reddue has had absolute certainty that she can manipulate the foolish weak selfish humans any way she wants. Surprise.

What they should have done at the end when the lock seeds were popping up instead of showing the gaim background they could have done plants growing over it. Would have been a nice touch with Kouta slowly turning into an Overlord.
