So something I have suspected for awhile was just confirmed by this episode.
The Yummy are...very very weak. Or at the very least, this Owl is.
Well, OK. That's not fair. They're weak compared to past villains and monsters.
Like, your average Destron monster, or Shocker cyborg.
You know what happened to Shiro if he tried to fight a Destron monster without transforming?
He'd get the **** beat out of him and look like crap.
Same with other older Riders.
The sole exception being Kotaro....because even while human, he was more super human then the rest. Sure, most of the old school Riders has some level of super strength
But Kotaro could TAKE TRIPS THROUGH WALLS and be perfectly fine. Dude was hella tough.
Eiji?
Eiji is a scrawny normal guy who's only real trait is that he's too stupid to quit.
And Brotou is....a very scrawny normal guy.
The Owl Yummy, if it was half the monster the older ones were, should have flattened them both with ease, not let itself be distracted and annoyed by them.
