Speaking of Marika…I keep finding myself distracted by how often they zoomed into her legs this episode.
The Cherry Arm looks so tiny. >.<
I can see what you mean, but Gaim isn't exactly a show that's subtle about it's themes. If you look at the shape of her lockseed (on the right)...[HIDE]Looks a bit more spade-like than full on peach, what with the foot of it, but I guess it could be a stylized leaf?
What I'd like to know is, what will stop the Yggdrasil corporation from stopping and capturing Gaim and Baron in the future after they escaped with their belts and lockseeds? They four Energy Riders are still much more powerful than the Beat Riders, and the only way I can see Gaim is allowed to save the city as a Kamen Rider is if Yggdrasil permits it.
Minato said at the end that Sengoku's orders were to let Kouta and Kaito go, for some reason he wants them alive. (To the disappointment of Sid who was all "WA-HEY TIME TO MURDER SOME MORE INNOCENT KIDS!") We'll probably find out soon enough why he wants to "let them run some more" ...
He probably wants them to test the upgraded Sengoku Driver to get an excuse to make even stronger drivers.
He did want them to test his latest invention, but they basically said "**** you", so he was going to lock them up until they gave in, then Sagara let them escape. So ... how's he gonna make them do it?
