Well, that was...eh. Kinda nice to have Go admit he's been an ass. And it was rather satisfying to have him ax Banno in the face(?).

Hee, hee, exterminate.

[Yaiba]

Kamen Rider Mach-Chaser looks cheap and utter crap, but that's ok, because Go's redemption, realization and the subsequent fight to see Banno getting owned completely totally makes up for it.

If they're willing to spend money on it, I'm sure it'll look pretty slick. And on top of that with Mashin Chaser's Viral Core cars fusing with it, omg it will look awesome. Ah, but that's too much resources for a one-time only form.

Go's name came into play here, as in, Banno is telling him to stop but at the same time he is also yelling "Go!"

And I like how Signal Ax's "Wait" and "You may go" kinda mixed into the conversation.

I feel they are going to get rid of everything that is non-human.

The plot came to a grinding halt with the cellphone conversation. Despite being in a situation where time is of the essence, this scene felt so out of place.

Shinnosuke and Heart decide that math is the key to victory. What? The entire exchange just raises more questions than answers. This is quickly brushed aside in favor of Medic as a deus ex machina.

[Lunagel]

As far as I can make out from that conversation, since Sigma has the power of 4 ultimately evolved Roidmude, then both of them (2) at double their strength (x2) should be equal to its power.

Which is, um, yeah, pretty silly.

I'm pretty sure you wanted Chase dead a few times, Go. We're not buds, but I'm just trying to keep you honest, man.

Kiriko, does it not rain at all in your world?

A second series with actual crying. I'm liking this trend! More attempts at real emotions!

[VerusMaya II]

Chase ;_;

[Fat D]

Is it just my imagination or does Heart's costume look awful when he is running towards the room where they meet Sigma? It just seems to me like some guy in a heavy coat awkwardly bumbling around as if he is trying to get to the bathroom.

[ViRGE]

Gorramit it Toei! Stop killing everyone we like. Even Urobutcher wasn't this heartless.

I'm actually kind of surprised Banno went down this episode. I expected he'd live until the end. But I guess this is Shinnouske's show, and Banno was not Shinnouske's rival. So Go needed to be wrapped up for the final episode to focus on Shinnouske. Plus this way at least someone gets a win since Shinnouske needed to lose to setup the next episode...

It was a good fight, too. I do get a bit annoyed that it's only now that Mach actually goes fast, but I'll accept it on a dramatic basis. Plus I'm a sucker for fights where the hero basically gets to dance around the villain.

As for Shinnouske, so now the real big bad is a brand new not-quite-a-character? This is almost disappointing in a way. Half of the joy of the final victory is vanquishing the foe, and that's a lot less joyful when it's essentially a brand new character.

And what the heck is going on with Gen and Rinna?

Kiriko, does it not rain at all in your world?

Well the worst day in her life was the first Global Freeze, where she got converted into energy and almost died. There's a bit of PTSD in there...

Kamen Rider Mach-Chaser looks cheap and utter crap, but that's ok, because Go's redemption, realization and the subsequent fight to see Banno getting owned completely totally makes up for it.

I agree and disagree. Yes, it's not very intricate - they clearly just took parts from both suits - but it's also not terrible.

And I like how Signal Ax's "Wait" and "You may go" kinda mixed into the conversation.

I liked that. It was clever.

[Virgo Angel]

cried again at chase's death, then at go and kirikos crying. loved it when bano died and felt nothing when medic died, i felt more when brain died then she did

[Digifiend]

And what the heck is going on with Gen and Rinna?

Love?

[takenoko]

Does she do that every time it rains? A broken clock can be right twice a day, but then there's all the spots in between.

>And what the heck is going on with Gen and Rinna?

Best couple. Rinna and Gen have been affectionate towards each other throughout the series! I swear that I'm not just shipping them.

[Catastrophe]

Nice episode. The costume for Mach/Chase was crap but I can imagine they didn't want to have to repaint the whole thing if it was going to be used once. That scene with the axe was both hilarious and satisfying at the same time. And also having the secondary rider beat the main antagonist was refreshing.

I love Shin. His maths definitely checks out. Feel bad for Heart since he is the last Roidmude left now.

[envedges]

I always imagine that Mach's Final Form would be based off of the Ride Crosser combination. I was close. Chaser Mach's scene was pretty enjoyable IMO, but I have to agree with everyone above about Chaser Mach. It is probably one of the laziest kit-bash I seen in Kamen Rider series yet. At least with Yomotsuheguri, they put some effort into painting and slightly modifying it. Even Lemon Energy Baron that I joke about being lazy, I would say they still put more effort into that and looks much better than this combination. I enjoy the fact that Banno was voiced and played in person by Morita Masakazu as I'm always a fan of seiyuus making a live action appearance in person, but I'm just not fan of what they did to Banno when he became a villain. It is not like I hate him just for the sake of being a bad guy. I dislike him for becoming the second Nira of this show. He comes off very douche and becomes a real b*tch moments before his death instead of facing it like a man. It come off a little annoying and it feels like the writers are trying too hard on making a character that you want to punch.

Also I forgot to mention in the last episode that Heart and Medic reminds me a lot like Rio and Mele from Gekiranger, which I could do a long discussion about. It just dawn on me when they did a group transformation with our heroes. Now to think of it, Gold Drive is kind of like Long in a way that they are both golden d*cks.

TV Tropes, is there a trope for golden dicks?

[ViRGE]

TV Tropes, is there a trope for golden dicks?

Well let's see

We have Super Golden Mode
And then there's the Golden Girls
Oh, and of course there's the ubiquitous Gold Digger
But in the end, the closest thing you'll find is Gold and White Are Divine, which actually has the White Wizard in there as how divinity and power don't always mean someone is good.
