Re: KR Build 33 released
I really aplaud this series for trying to be somewhat different from previous entries in terms of plot direction and its characters. Specifically Banjou, he's well integrated into the main plot and given quite a power up on par with main Rider for now, if not stronger. Which is why this episode presents a few problems with me. Banjou got swept aside like his revelation in previous episode didn't matter, and how despite various character growth moments he still goes back and forth between being a dumb musclehead and a sensible justice fighter. There doesn't seem to be a linear direction that they're taking Banjou's character in, and I honestly get really annoyed. That to me, is just sloppy writing.
And as Takenoko points out, the deaths in this series as a whole just feels really cheap. While Ex-Aid have many flaws, but at least the deaths in it carry some weight. We really got to know the characters before they die off, and then we get few episodes dealing with the grieve of losing them. In Build, deaths happen and passby so quickly like does it really matter? I know killing the PM is supposed to be a big moment for Gentoku, but we just dont know him enough to really feel for him.
If for example, they kill off Kazumin now then yes, I will feel something. I hope they will invest more in developing Gentoku and I'm quite sure he will somehow have an Alan's ending from Ghost. I just hope we know him enough by then to be happy for him if he does.
What I do like tho is the introduction of Evol. I like his suit and how overpowering he is. My only gripe is how similar his "place"in the story is to Chronos from Ex-Aid - OP af when first introduced, spent episodes trying to beat him then main Rider becomes godlike and wipes the floor with him. I know it's a common KR trope, but I just wish they can do more with Evol than just something to push Sento into his final form.

Feel like 6 months is pretty standard for anything that's not a A-list blockbuster.

Re: KR Build 33 released
Seriously?, the plan failed all because of a weasel hiding behind a box or whatever that is, so stealth beats power in this day i guess lol!, that's so cheap, what's worse is someone got killed because of it, and why the hell did Misora not think about handing the Evol Driver to Sawa who was just right there before going emotional over his dad, c'mon, you have the strongest driver in your hands and your going back?, why?, i was like, oh shit she's going back, this is going to end so bad, and it did

Re: KR Build 33 released
I wonder why Sento didn't build a chip into evolt so that when Barista Snake starts laughing in front of him and acting high and mighty Sento pulls out his own shocker and beats him down with it?
