Kamen Rider Gaim Ep 46 - "The Fated Victor"

[Toku Prime]

And no one wants a AU Rider in crossovers even if there just standing in the background.

I dunno, I'd rather that from now on we get the AU Faiz from the Rider Taisen movie instead of the one from the original series :sweat:

Man-of-the-beginning-Kouta's outfit works strangely a LOT better than Zenith Arms Gaim despite being basically the same, wtf.

We need more Rider suits turned into helmetless outfits, clearly. 8D

The Takumi from Kamen Rider Taisen isn't AU. He is meant to be the one from the series. In fact none of the characters are AU.

True I guess Toei just threw people off by having Takumi recall the events of Faiz differently. I just chalk that up to them not going back to watch their own series before redoing a scene for a flashback.

The scene was changed to favor the movie's plot and make the audience get why Takumi would grieve for Kusaka. However, Takumi's very first lines are referencing Faiz's final episode, so, aside from that change, everything else seems to be the same.

Problem is... WHY WOULD ANYONE GRIEVE FOR KUSAKA!?

It's a definite retcon and frankly, what's the difference between a retconned version and an AU version? Neither of them are as original. Rider has had such a slap-dash attitude to continuity in the last 5-6 years that I long ago said "eff it" and decided retcons and AUs are the same thing. As far as I'm concerned we're also on (at least) our second Den-O as the last episode of that show says there will never be any more Imagin again. But you know what, that doesn't mean that the events of Episode Red weren't a nice way to tie up Zerenos' story, at least on an emotional level. Equally, it was great that the Rider Taisen crew put the effort in to "fix" what IMO is one of the weakest Heisei Rider shows because of the very problems addressed in the film. I'd like to see this new Takumi again.

Gaim 46:

- Kachdoki's flagstaffs are bent. Are they supposed to be that way, or are they broken?

- So Baron represents the maniacal striving for utopia, whatever the human cost, while Gaim represents the hope for the present world's redemption.

- Explosions? How did Bruce Kalish get on the Gaim set?!

- I think it might have looked nicer if "First Man" Kouta's left eye was red, so that it would reflect Mai's red right eye. Rather than them both having red right eyes.

- So Kouta does defy Sagara somewhat... but I wonder what would have happened if he had actually tried to kill him. If Sagara is just Helheim's avatar, wouldn't Helheim simply continue?

Then again, how exactly is Helheim supposed to keep spreading now that the vanguard of the forest has been teleported away? Can it just open a portal to another planet, or is it stuck on the Femushinmu world?

Or is that last scene with Sagara on an alien world?

- Ha! The snake is quoting God! :laugh: Of course, the Devil can recite scripture to his purpose.

- Crazy cashier girl is back!

Too bad there's no Ryohei Odai (Kitaoka/Zolda) cameo in Bando's. That would have been funny.

- They really bungled the Hase-Jonouchi plot. I don't know if bringing it up now is worse than just dropping it all together. He really ought to have found out his fate earlier.

- Wait, none of the other Team members know who was on the front lines? Or did Zack mean everyone else?
