Kamen Rider Wizard EP 48 - "The Philosopher's Stone"

The tragedy of this whole thing is that Fueki has gone mad due to his grief. Since all of the crimes he's comitted was for Koyomi's sake. It's understandable that he would do whatever it takes to bring his daughter back. However he never really saved her at all, just turned her into a doll that runs on mana. As well as destroyed many lives in the process. And he has the nerve to say that their suffering is nothing compared to his? Which is the epitome of selfishness.
 
I'll give Wizard this much, Wiseman being the Carbuncle Phantom and not even a natural Phantom at all is probably the one part of the whole White Wizard/Wiseman thing that no one saw coming.
 
In the Iron Man trilogy, for instance, none of the major villains hang around after the movie ends, and in the Dark Knight trilogy the most of the villains were also killed.
In the Dark Knight trilogy Batman didn't kill Joker. The whole point being killing your enemies cause you think it's right makes you no better than them.

How about [MOS Spoiler][hide]Superman killing General Zod in MOS?[/hide]

Yeah because those people were going to die that very minute. He didn't beat Zod then kill him like you want to see happen in Wizard.

Funny how Zod was killing tens of thousands inside the city of Metropolis but Superman didn't feel compelled to end Zod's life, but as soon as he was about to destroy a group of people with his laser beam Superman decided that he has to kill him right away. Just saying...

That's completely different. Superman was fighting against Zod during that earlier point, not just standing around. Zod was Kryptonian too, so it's not like Superman could instantly kill or defeat him while they were in Metropolis. Later, Zod was already defeated and even so tried to attack people just to spite Superman, which is why he managed to kill him so easily.
 
I find it kind if funny Haruto is getting all angry that Fueki drove "so many" people to despair when throughout the entire show we haven't actually seen this happen once outside of it being used as a punchline to a really bad joke.

In any case, it really seems like they were hinting at things that "should have been" this episode. Like, they were acting like there had been this longstanding animosity between Haruto and the Section Zero guy that finally got resolved, when the fact is that Kizaki barely ever had any screentime and most of us probably thought that subplot concluded in that one arc back in the 10s.

There's more like this, but that was the one that really struck me.

And another thing - while I've really grown to like the Mage suit, the one thing I'm really frustrated with is the claw. The claw is there. They didn't do the smart thing and make it appear via a ring. Why, if they're going to HAVE the claw, is it that every single Mage related fight has passed without the claw being used like a claw? With the exception of it being used for GIANT this episode, it's been basically ignored since it appeared, making me wonder why they bother with it at all.

What? Quite a few people were driven to despair. And they would have become phantoms if it weren't for Haruto going into their underworlds and slaying their phantoms. And let's not forget all the people driven to despair and killed during the Sabbat.
