Philip had a point, though. Him and Shotaro were the "2 in 1 Kamen Rider", taking away Philip just leaves Shotaro with his own grief and no Shadow Moon plotline to use it on. Like, I understand not reviving characters unless you have a dang good reason but I thought Philip's was good enough.

Reviving Philip was almost necessary because of the 2 as 1.

Reviing Ankh was hinted at. They were going to fix his medal and the future Ankh revealed that it was possible.

Kengo in Fourze was weird... he probably should've stayed dead.

I don't know... Chase's death in this episode was just unnecessary.

Almost 1/4 of the entire series was focused on "let's get Chase, the original kamen rider back to the good side" just to kill him now?...

At this point we are 100% sure that Heart and Medic are going to die too...

At least we are finally getting a couple with Shinnosuke and Kiriko :D.

Both of these had Riku Sanjo on the writing team. There is still some hope for Chase, it seems. His earlier destruction in 22 had something that looked like a core explode as well. Maybe there is more to Proto-Zero than we know.

Eh, Riku Sanjo was on the writing team yeah, but I'd assume something like that'd be a call of the head writer (who was Kazuki Nakashima).

No, Kazuki Nakashima is.

EDIT: Ok yeah, the earlier quote mentioned Kengo so I was replying to when "Fat D" was talking about Fourze. My mistake, I glossed over when he brought the convo back to Drive.

Head writer for Double and Drive, extra writer for Fourze. So on the writing team for all three, and the past two brought the died-in-the-finale sidekick back from the dead. Then again, he also did Kyoryuger, where Torin stayed dead.

Shotaro had been going on and on about being "hard boiled", Philip's death was a test to that, to see whether can he actually do it. I know it's a 2 in 1 rider thing for W, but Philip's death hit really hard. Taking it all away in just the next episode left me feeling cheap out. Just a personal opinion tho.

I like how they dealt with Ankh's. Like it's all hinted and stuff, but they left it at where Eiji's going to work hard to figure a way, so to me that felt like a good way to end things.

Until I've seen the next episode, I can't really say Chase's death is pointless or vice versa but I will like it if they end things where Chase's death serves as a bittersweet reminder that even a machine is capable of bravery, dignity, love and sacrifice. And for Heart to live on as a living testimony to that. I think Heart surviving will provide a stronger wrap for the story, how in the end his view on humanity changes for the better and he begins to learn how to live with that.

I think the ending would have been the most tear-jerking if it just ended with 000 shattering to pieces.

Poor Chase, but it was awesome of how he was so desperate to save Go for Kiriko's sake that he'd return to his Shinigami form in order to do so.

Banno must die.
