And also, this bike has three modes (so far). The rear halves are supposed to be stored in RevolCarry's wheel thing. But the Cyclone half is there all the time? I don't like that...
The actual Cyclone backend is a set of boosters. The one on the bike now is the just the basic backend.
- It's good to see, after a long time, the leaders of the organization revealed in the first episode.
- 'Injury' Gaia Memory? What the heck does that do? The kaijin this time around are really dubious. That's sort of a nice thing,I suppose. It's fresh in any case.
The Dopant Memories do seem rather all over the place: Terror, Taboo, Paper Doll, Nazca, Smileodon, Money, Magma, T-Rex, Crab, Injury, and Hell so far (off the top of my head).
- So not all the Dopants use belts?
Guessing only the Sonozaki's use belts.
- Shotaro and Phillip have all their Memories, yet Bandai insists on their odd method of packaging the toys? What a ripoff. But I guess they may be cynically thinking that no one would buy such cheap, not-to-scale junk like the Metal Shaft and Trigger Shot (are those the names) without a more valuable Memory to go with them.
In full agreement. (Trigger Magnum, btw)
- ... What exactly does stretching ability have to do with "Luna"? Is this some obscure references to tides? In any event it looks rather lame. And so does that Kick. If they're going to do a split like that, why not a "bunshin" like Garren's Burning Divide in Blade?
That was my guess. All Elements: Wind, Fire, Water as Cyclone, Heat, and Luna respectively.
The kick doesn't resonate with me, but I have a feeling there'll be a number of other finishers.
Note: Cyclone Joker seemed to be doing all kicks. I'm guessing Heat Joker will be all punches.
1) This cast is way too young for a detective show. Ren Kiriyama and Masaki Suda are hardly convincing as these skilled investigators. (I think, in W's case, it may stem from Sanjo's manga speciality. I'm no expert, but such things I don't think are too unfamiliar in that genre) The regular cops were played by far more appropriate actors. Why can't they get more people like that to play heroes? Someone should get Hibiki's casting director back, that person knew what he was doing.
I got the feeling that Shotaro is only marginally decent, with Philip's abilities picking up the lion's share of the slack. Their age is due to the fact that Shotaro was an apprentice who lost his mentor and inherited the agency through death. I got the feeling that it hadn't been all that long since the mentor died.
