Another fine episode now that we're back on the train and off the movie-plug tram. Toqgers.

Hey Kaito, your conviction being shaken in any way?

Weird. Ryouma had a bunch of wires coming out of him when in his Duke form. Figures that he'd use that form and not fight in it.

Hey Kaito, Demushu will be you in the future. Do you want to give up your pretty boy looks to be like him?

Yggdrasill, we have been d-bags for a very long time and won't stop now. Ryouma is definitely a sit back and let the grunts deal with everything while I'm behind the front lines with my cool ultra powerful suit.

Micchi has spider sense towards Takatora even though he was right about Redue's plan and let Sid die like a bitch. I can say that Sid is dead dead. I doubt he could come back after being crushed together by two walls.

I can't help but laugh at Ryouma sitting behind the computer while in suit. They did their best to make it plot-reasonable with those wires like his suit is directly connected to his ~Master Intelligent System~ but to those of us who pay too much attention to the behind the scenes stuff, it's clear that these were the episodes filming while Aoki Tsunenori was involved in a stage play.

[Arigomi]

It seems Kaito's hard exterior is finally beginning to crack. Telling Kouta to get stronger leads me to believe that Kaito has an inferiority complex. All this time, he's been overcompensating for feeling helpless during his childhood. I really wish the writers weren't so stingy with details about Kaito's past.

The reveal about Sid's motivations efficiently wrapped up his story arc.

Minato is finally starting to see how Ryouma's hubris is becoming a problem. It is only a matter of time before she attempts to take control of Yggdrasill from him.

[Go-On Macaroni]

I can say that Sid is dead dead. I doubt he could come back after being crushed together by two walls.

Well, that and the fact that his actor got the typical flowers:

Goodbye Sid, i won't miss you... Yeah you had cool suit, but that glorious cherry viking was wasted on a power hungry brat who calls other brats to feel more like an adult like you~~


Hmm, Malika starting to have second thoughs about Ryoma leading this whole thing? Well, we still have banana x peach ship, so she can change sides.


Ok, sooo, more from Overlord king past... And its somethink pretty interesting, he has lots of characters, and once again, he isn't completely evil, just have his logic about the world, stiiiill we may see him dying from green overlord plan, and he'll became the main villain.....Or micchy, but in his case, i see him more in this situation:

Micchy: Now that i have golden fruit, i will stop invasion and save the earth
Kouta; Hooray \o/
Micchy: but first i will kill you becos you annoy me
Kouta: Oooooh..... so sad :/

[Kogashi]

Ya know I was wondering when we'd get our next Rider death. And damn did we ever get one. Even destroyed his Driver.

... Of course, of course the ultimate Fruit of Knowledge is a key... Cause all the other Seeds have been locks.

So, even when not commentating the Beat Rider fights, Sagara is just acting as an impartial judge? Man, talk about dedication to a job.

[samelf]

I think dj Sagara is just playing everyone he wants them to be all equal in power so he will be the one to get the fruit while they all kill each other. Nobody in the show will even see it coming but i can almost feel it. Also has there ever been an on screen death as gruesome as sids for a human character in kamen rider it caused me to flinch and look away.

[Connie_Edogawa]

to quote chris tucker "whoo! you know he dead."

[FangTrigger]

Okay, I get that Sid was a dick, and the majority of us, even myself, didn't like him that much, but HOLY GODDAMN!!! Seriously, in all my 6-8 years watching Kamen Rider, I have to say that his death takes the cake. For a second, I forgot I was watching a kids show. Roushou really took it to him.

Back to the plot, I thought Takatora was going to pick up Sid's belt and go on a rampage around Yggdrasil, but with it destroyed, I'm left wondering what's going to happen to him? Episode 1 dictates that Zangetsu and Ryugen will be present at the final battle, but now, I have to wonder who will be who since Mitsuzane (I'm not calling him Micchi anymore. He lost that respect from me) took the Melon Energy Lockseed from his brother. Will Takatora retake the Power? Or will he become his brothers lacky? (Looking back on what little Japanese history I know, Noda Obunaga was betrayed by his retainer, right?)

Demushu's words grated on Kaito's skin for sure. He's gotta be changing his tune because of that.

I was wondering when Kamen Rider Knuckle would make another appearance. I know Kouta and Yggdrasil are the main players in this show, but I kinda wanna see more out of the Zawame City Riders. Aside from their sporradic appearances, we really only gotten some character development out of Gridon and Bravo, whilst Knuckle is just kinda....there.

Next time on Kamen Rider Gaim:

Spoiler

The White Armor Descends! Kiwani Arms Sanjou!
Looks like we get an all Rider Team-up.
What are you planning with Remu, Mitsuzane? Have you not gorged yourself on betrayal yet?

Off Topic, but I'm disappointed with Gaim's Summer Movie, at least the theme. I get that Soccer is a major event outside of the United States, but I was expecting something more cannon and serious. It sounds like a repaint of the Fateful Sengoku Battle movie, just with soccer and the Armored Riders instead of the Heisei Riders. I would've been perfectly content if they pushed the movie and the series like they did with Kamen Rider Decade's and saved it for the end, leading to one big showdown. Then again, I haven't seen it yet, so I'll keep any further judgement till then.

EDIT:
In honor of Sid

[Dengar]

It was fitting that he ended up dying a fool's death.

That being said, I have major appreciation for his actor. He really brought the character to life.

Ikr? A friend of mine got me with that one.

Can anyone tell me who the mayor was voiced by? He sounds like the narrator, but I can't say that with 100% certainty he is.

[takenoko]

I dunno, I always assume the random voices who don't sound like actors are just the staff or anyone who's around at the time.

Yeah, I always wonder with stuff like that. A few episodes ago when Takatora was on the computer-phone with someone presumably higher up at Yggdrasill (his father? someone else entirely?) it sounded SO MUCH like Sagara that I really wondered... But of course it went no where.
