Part 2: viewtopic.php?f=155&t=22696

Well, that was.... I don't really know.

It just seems kinda out of character for most of the time considering Sento's back to happy!Sento and Utsumi shows up for a very poorly explained reason and look Prince isn't the only person raised by holograms recently!

Really disjointed and clearly only meant to show off some new combos plus make you buy part 3 on DVD. Dunno how well this'll connect to episode 22, if at all.

Oh, and at almost 17 minutes and roughly 180 lines that makes it basically as long as a regular episode (ep 21 23 minutes and 201 lines) so fuck you for doubling my work load this week.

Yeah, mixed bag describes it best. Some of the stuff is good, like our favorite robot Utsumi making his return and Sento talking with Misora. But other stuff like him playing with the fucking bottles or beating down jobbers to Utsumi's narration lasted way too long. What was the point of showing off Rose Copter here and in episode 21 with Stark?

Oh, so Hazard form can take on other combos, but only the eyes change? That's... disappointing.

And what's with that cliffhanger that won't be resolved for a month?

It's weird, because the good stuff should be in the episode itself. The boring stuff like showing off the combos in a limp way should have been all this was and nothing more. Then we would have at least had an excuse to just skip it. This is probably the most confusing way for Toei to have handled this.

I'm disappointed Sento didn't question if the ghost element was extracted from Utsumi when he saw him. Toei kinda missed that one.

I was thinking that the Rose Helicopter form was a tribute to Yu Yu Hakusho which had a character named Kurama who had a weapon called the Rose Whip.

Could be a tribute to Tuxedo Mask who threw a rose.
Or to Tamaki in Ouran Host Club who often had a rose.
Or to Rose of Versailles which I assume had roses in it.

Pretty sure most of the stuff is just throwing darts at post-it-notes on the wall.

Liked the part with Utsumi and Sento fighting to get the data on the kill switch. It’s nice he has a science friend. Should have had that bit in an episode and left the showing off of other forms for this thing.

I’m glad they used Rogues leather undersuit and not that shitty brown stunt suit.

around 0:10, timing for 7 best matches still appears

I think we'll live.

This special is ok
It did drag on in the beginning when Sento is playing match the bottles. Speaking of which about time you read the stickers on bottles to see which is a best match Sento.
Good to see Utsumi use the Night Rogue suit again. Feels anti climatic to see the matches used here be matches already used in the series. Though SmaphoWolf Hazard looks fine which is enough to say every match is Hazard compatible but the powers stem from the eyes. That's weird to say but I don't know what else to say
What's with the Bi-Kaiser in the end? Pretty sure we won't be able to get the answer until at least a month but damn it Toei likes to do this to people
