nightjaegerIt's only just now occurred to me to wonder where Geiz got all his Ride Watches from!
I haven't seen Ex-Aid, except for part of the crossover with Kyuuranger, so I'm really not sure who these people are or what their significance is. I'm assuming that Kagami-sensei is an adversary or secondary Rider to Emu/Ex-Aid, and his personality is pretty clear, which helps explain why he wants to help Geiz.
When they kept hiding Emu's face, I had a feeling he wouldn't really appear, so the final scenes were quite a surprise.
I really loved the creative use of special effects in this episode, in particular Another Ex-Aid getting caught in the "curve" of the Voltec Finish. Toei has gone above and beyond with that kind of thing lately - applying stock effects creatively.
Sougo's Uncle (Grandpa?) is really growing on me. He's just so on top of everything.
That said, Sougo, who is on top of nothing, is one of the most endearing characters ever on TV. I adore him, but he does often leave me feeling the desire to step into the screen and beat the Another Riders for him, as I just don't have great confidence in his capacity to do it!
Where the Build arc left me really wanting to watch that show, this arc (and, yes, we are only halfway through) hasn't had the same effect, but it has made me want to look up Kagami-sensei and his relationship to Emu. That, at least, looks interesting!
