You know the fact that Zi-O just uses a form obtained in the movie immediately after said movie is something I never liked. It was completely without any explanation either.

At least Fourze Rocket States happened at the end of the show, and he made a reference to the movie when he used it.

The events leading up to Den-O Climax Form also was given the proper in-series buildup, and it was clear that the movie actually happened, even if you haven’t seen the movie itself.


The way this show handles the movies and continuity is just ass.

Can I just say it's huge wasted potential that we didn't get Momotaros shouting "Ore no hissatsu waza...TRINITY VERSION!".

Also, as of this episode, Momotaros has been 5 Riders, more than anyone else. Den-O, Decade, Momorider, Geiz and Zi-O.
Spoiler
He's possessing Woz next week, but it remains to be seen if he'll get to henshin as him.
Seen:
Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan
Other: Spiderman, Power Rangers

Well I was a lot less disappointed with it than I thought I'd be. Pretty clear though that whoever directed FOREVER was the only capable writer on staff so of course they had to ignore everything he did and just go ham on the Imagin being mischievous and steamrolling over everyone's pace the whole while. Which granted they were always known for doing, but with the mess Zi-O already is, its one of the rare times it doesn't improve things. Much. Momotaros as usually takes the wind out of everyone's sails by hogging all the hot air himself, which given the desert of character development that is this season, was something sorely needed.

The Drive Watch issue I think is gonna be something they either ignore entirely due to episode capacity, or they'll manage to shoehorn it in by giving Sougo a taste of his full power but then time-space shenanigans will make it so the Drive Watch disappears when its current day counterpart gets near enough. Also if I didn't know better showing the dissimilar nature of Grand Zi-O versus Oma Zi-O would be a sort of set-up hint to the true nature of the conflict of kind, naive present Sougo versus uncaring, arrogant overlord future Sougo along with whatever the sideplot is with Schwartz and Tsukuyomi, but that's giving Toei wayyyy more credit than they've been due this season.
