The silly thing about introducing dark Tycoon is that like the last episode was the first time we've seen Tycoon have a dark side? Like if that was the plan, they could have sprinkled it in throughout to prepare

So Keiwa is sad and gets a new form. But Sara was Neon's friend too, so it'd be nice if she got a new power/form as well

How is ponytail broadcasting

Also, that's a lot of infections all at once. Feels like it's too much for two kamen riders and one in mourning to deal with. Especially since Buffa doesn't have Geats's sniper rifle for killing the little ones

Also, stage 2 isn't a time thing? You get infected by multiple Jamato and that's it for you? That sucks

Thanks for the exposition Neon

I wonder how long jokerfied ponytail will last

Punk Jack didn't get his ID core broken did he? Why doesn't Geats turn him into a Rider too. Or is the actor here just for hanging out reasons

Hey Toei, maybe make stage 2 victims visually distinct

Uh-oh, Buffa apparently hasn't learned his lesson. It definitely puts him in an interesting position of wanting to save people but having to kill to do it

A long overdue talk between Neon and her dad. TimeFire looks like the most unhinged person every time he appears in this show lol. Love the window smash with his head

Saw Tsumuri's civilian form on Instagram. Goes without saying that her actress is amazing looking

Also looks like Ace is still star of the stars, so there goes the theory that he's picking and choosing which wishes to carry through

lol, some random dude shows up and Ace just knows he's the new gamemaster

Man, gamemaster is sure getting in his hits with his baton. You'd think Ace and Punk Jack would realize that Gamemaster gave up too easily

wtf is that tree

Hmmmm, small nitpick but would Keiwa really have wished for more power rather than for his sister to be back?

What's that? Buttnsword? Black General? So it's not ninja -> shogun, even though we're still using a Japanese theme?

Keiwa's sword choreography is pretty fun

By all rights Buffa should be dead at the end of this. Well, maybe he'll just come back to life again

Preview:
Ooh, those forms are pretty cool designs

Edit:
It's weird seeing Jitto be so lighthearted in the Instagram promo, since he always plays an angsty villain character

Jesus Christ what was up with the fights in this episode. So many fist to fist fights, did we get a new Fight Choreographer or something? It felt like a completely different show this week. Even with all Neon's Drama, like do they really expect us to believe they are going to leave her rideless for the remainder of the season?

this episode was just weird.

You're not wrong. Fujita Satoshi is still credited as action director, but Sakamoto Koichi was the director this time, and he tends to like to direct the action too

OMG Bujin Sword is freaking cool, from the transparent sword on the buckle turning tycoon's core evil, to the sheathing of said sword to activate the finishers, to using a full-size katana as weapon. And the armor design and cape really gives off evil overload vibe. Feels like the final boss.

The way they visualized "Bujin Sword" looks like "Butt n Sword".

So what is Keiwa aiming for now? Restoring the DGP old format with Tsumuri as the Goddess to gather enough sparks for his wish?

What does his new henshin pose, snapping the second finger, represents? At first I thought he wants to take down Ace as it looks like snapping Ace's hand fox gesture.

Beroba and Kekera are finally getting a monster form so they can get blown up now.

There were very light sprinkles. His inner demon in the Battle Royale crossover movie, maniacal laughter in his character song, and getting brutal when in given situations (usually involving his sister). Guess this is why Kekera felt he needed to be pushed so far to get to this.

So it's not ninja -> shogun, even though we're still using a Japanese theme?

Each aspect of form progression seems to be up in the air as to how direct it is. Magnum -> Cannon and Boost -> Jet was a bit more direct in the name but less so in the form and was used by Riders besides Geats.

OMG Bujin Sword is freaking cool, from the transparent sword on the buckle turning tycoon's core evil, to the sheathing of said sword to activate the finishers, to using a full-size katana as weapon. And the armor design and cape really gives off evil overload vibe. Feels like the final boss.

Strange most of the armor is reused from Command Form and Ninja. Though using Ninja for the legs is similar to Geats IX using Boost the same way.

So what is Keiwa aiming for now? Restoring the DGP old format with Tsumuri as the Goddess to gather enough sparks for his wish?

His motivation since the Goddess revelation has appeared to be even less thought through than Buffa's was though since that was pulled off (for the most part) who knows if that matters at this point.

It is weird how because of his sister, he's now going after Ace's.

Beroba and Kekera are finally getting a monster form so they can get blown up now.

Not that their "Rider" forms appeared much.

Said above, and yeah this seems to get overlooked by people much, as seems that some think Keiwa can never be in the wrong, but in general yeah Sara can bring the worst in him, which also includes something like episode 8 to disregard and dismiss other's wants to fulfill his - and rejecting his strategy doesn't mean leaving others to die as they still gotta face final boss. Being brutal is also a dark trait, even though it's aimed to the rightful target of Jamatos (it's also overlooked regarding how Buffa fought Jamato Sara before...).

So Keiwa is sad and gets a new form. But Sara was Neon's friend too, so it'd be nice if she got a new power/form as well

She's also about feeling powerless to fail to save Sara and others, currently seeking people to make her a Kamen Rider again. Though of course using only Beat still wouldn't be enough like Keiwa does using Ninja to ask for final form...

Uh-oh, Buffa apparently hasn't learned his lesson. It definitely puts him in an interesting position of wanting to save people but having to kill to do it

Always having end justifies the means and the needs of the many mentality. Thus yeah he's not heroic yet for now.

Hmmmm, small nitpick but would Keiwa really have wished for more power rather than for his sister to be back?

Guess the show does address how Keiwa got left behind with Ace having LaserBoost and Michinaga being the Jamashin.

The Bujin sword gets the best graphics! & what's going on with the name variants & the finer points? These graphics are too strong not to have significance beyond the relatively ordinary plastic blade from props... What does the legend of this sword mean?
I apologize or this in advance: "Tsumuri-chan & Ace have cheekbones so high they appear as twin humps on the tops of their heads". A drum roll & I'm outta here.
