It's Toku; elaborate fights is part of the genre's base DNA. If you took out the fighting (and thus the need for special effects), then what you'd have wouldn't be Toku.

You need the fighting. When it's done well it's fantastic.

Agreed. We've only heard bits and pieces so far, but I like what I'm hearing. KR hasn't had a really good OP since Fourze.

They've all been good since Decade, imo. Ghost's being the bottom, and Gaim just slightly above that.

I doubt it's necessary but, Toei clearly likes doing it (Onore Decade~).
Also, just bouncing off but was it ever confirmed that "Ghost from the movie {was} too scary"? I've never heard that outside the forums here, so I just wanted to ask.

*still a few episodes back but just, has two cents or so to throw it*

I think it's cute, just, just DARLING that people think questions bout an epilogue that seems to make no sense will be answered in the next movie the Rider will be in. Closest we had for that was End of Decade, and I guess OOO's movie crossover with Fourze? Still, just... mmmm. 'don't worry we'll know what that meant like, three months from now, no worries.' Adorable.

And your point is...? This is an episode clearly designed to lead somewhere, whether into Ex-Aid or the next Movie War (Takeru got the Ex-Aid eyecon, credence~). Now, could the next Movie War not answer anything? Sure, but I don't see why we should just not discuss it.

They need to stop forcing this crossover shit in the series. They already have the movie for it. It's just dumb.

My point is... ... We've had those before. We've had series that ended 'clearly designed to lead somewhere' before. Faiz, W, Kiva, guess what? They didn't. Like I said the only real example of an ending clearly designed to lead somewhere, was Decade. The argument could be made that OOO was meant to lead somewhere leading to it's crossover with Fourze, but yea that's my whole point. When a show ends on the hook of 'oooh new things are happening where will this lead' the answer tends to be 'nowhere cause the show is over now'.

Something Official no, but they also said it in the Kamen rider fanpage on facebook. And well, it might be truth since Ghost was kinda creepy, he was rocking back and forth while standing, the black myst and eye symbol, his voice and his fighting style. He resembled more a japanese ghost there. But I still think it was exagerated to think that t was enough to scare children.

I wish this series had a more darker tone instead of just eyeballs & obnoxiousness. It's ridiculous that a show with a ghost theme was less serious than a show with a fruit theme.

Well, I guess watching the next kamen rider early is a treat.

Oh, so it's just fan conjecture; okay then.

Oh I see. Yeah. put like that, I get what you're going for.

Am I the only one that heard the child mutter "Otou-san" as he disappeared into the eye portal?

The boy is not necessary connected to the Great Eye,that person is supposed to be Frey/Freya. I thinks he comes from Frey's world, where Takeru is some kind of god-like figure (if in the main series wasn't enough), so he came to Earth to know him.
I don't get what Genm was trying to do, it seems that we'll have to wait what kind of functions the Gashats have without a belt to see what power they have (or pretend that this episode never existed).

The boy is implied (if not outright confirmed) to be Takeru's son. Why?/how? No one knows, I'm personally hoping that the next Movie Wars clears it up, if not, then something else.

Also, Genmu's a jerk. His suit's potentially meant to be a joke on palette swaps from older video games, so he's a swapped Ex-Aid.

Almost sure that the boy said Otosan when he was disapering , unless i am lip reading wrong
