Do we know for sure that Misora is his daughter? It would be a little more palatable if he is just saying she is his daughter.

I just don't see Faust, or the other countries ending up as the primary threat.

Maybe Souichi saw the Gudis on Mars???

Since they didn't have any backstory for Misora before she showed up next to Pandora, I am sticking with my kook theory that Misora is a manifestation of Pandora. Maybe master is the chaos unleashed by opening Pandora's box and Misora is the hope?

OOOOooooo..... I like that!!!

I like the way that sounds. lol I'm in too.

So based on the preview, Satou Taro and Katsuragi Takumi probably switched faces and the dead dude is actually Taro?

Sento liked the egg dish that Takumi's mother made and ate a lot, so the Takumi is Sento theory is becoming more likely

After this episode, I'm kinda wondering now why Souichi is always asking Sento if he remembers anything. Takumi probably want out of Faust because they use his inventions for evil and Souichi tried to turn him into a smash and failed, but Souichi as Blood Stark is helping Sento one way or the other by being a pain in the ass for Night Rogue, so Souichi being all bad kinda debunks that theory or he has his own plans for Takumi's inventions, so either Takumi and Souichi are both doing something against Faust but Gentoku caught wind of that and tried to kill Takumi, yet Takumi did the switcheroo (or Blood Stark actually did it cause he did it on one episode) before getting killed, Gentoku or his goons finds Takumi (actually Taro) and gets assassinated and Taro (actually Takumi) gets captured then they tried to turn him into a Smash but fails then memory gets wiped, Taro (actually Takumi) escapes on his own, i think Souichi finding Sento isn't a coincidence but he was actually trying to find Taro (actually Takumi) then gives him the Build Driver ... there's probably a lot of holes in this theory but this is the gist of what i think happened

Souichi hires Nabeshima then frames Banjou (dude was probably at the wrong place and wrong time lol!) makes sense to make Takumi's assassination convenient and less of a mess

builds first power up form is a soda pop can? that's it i'm done i give up tried to give this one a chance but nope i'm out

That's my thought too. There's another clue too: We were told that everyone who was exposed to the light of Pandora's box when the walls went up got changed by it. Like their personalities shifted and they got more aggressive, I think.

There was a comment he made in the fight early on that bugged me. Something like "You had to save the most annoying bottle for last; I hate Octopus."

Two ways to read this: 1) ah this is the last bottle and it's annoying. 2) I knew what all the bottles were already and knew what Octopus did and darn it's annoying.

What if some kind of alien intelligence came out of the box back on Mars and possessed him or partly overwrote him or something like that?

Also it was interesting to see him - let's call it super jump - away at the end. Normally the villains drop a smoke cloud and when it clears they're gone. Teleportation I'm sure we wondered... no. They were superjumping away. At least we know that now, if not how much "power" they have while still looking human. It would totally be appropriate for Kamen Rider for them to mutate as part of using their power granting devices after all.

I think Souchi was just saying he hates octopuses in general. Sento had used the form in the last episode, so this isn't the first time he learned about it. I wouldn't read into it too deeply since he's just making a generic gripe about how hard it is to fight the octopus form.

At least a giant orange didn't land on his head at the start of the transformation.

LOL!

Oh my freakin' god for Gaim , i got cold shivers when i saw the first episode, everyone was dancing then Kaito's group appeared looking all cool trying (hard) to outdance the other group, i was like, what in the hell is this shit?!, what in the blue hell am i watching!?, then the transformation came then it just got way worse for me LOL! ... well i'm definitely watching a kids show

To be fair though, a lot of people liked Gaim and consider it one of the better Kamen Rider series. And, it might be. I wouldn't know since I bailed about 15 episodes in, after evil riders appeared who transformed using soda machines and the premise got so uncomfortably dark that I couldn't enjoy the series any more as camp.

^ I actually finished it, it gradually got better when all the dancing shenanigans was toned way down (thank goodness) and as you said, things got dark, it became watchable for me.

Gaim is awesome. It's a definite must-watch from the last 10 years.

I will give Gaim one thing: I lasted 12 more episodes with it than I did with Drive. Your magical guardians/guides are TONKA TOYS???

Also, I thought Gaim (the early non-dark episodes) might have worked better as an anime aimed at girls. Maybe Kamen Rider High School Musical?
