Another awesome episode of Wizard!
- It looks like Wizard is taking a page from the Fourze playbook in that he'll sometimes be getting rings that at first glance have no useful function, but during the arc he'll find some use for them in either combat or dealing with outside forces as demonstrated with Smell and Sleep. Now whether those rings will be one time uses, as was often the case in Fourze, is hard to say at this point. I at least hope we won't get another Hand Switch...
- So Land Style gets a Rider Kick? And a personalized one at that? I kinda feel bad for the other Styles now. Well, I hope the idea that different rings allow for different Rider Kicks and finishers is explored further in the show. Though I am quite curious what the finishers for the Drago Forms will be like.
- Whether the Gates are safe from Phantoms is a valid question, considering Gnome's original plan was to drive Manami to despair just by trying to kill her which may well have worked if not for Haruto. I guess it's just an instance of Wizard's concept not meshing well with the two-episode arc format of Rider. Unless Kida has a plan with all this, though I'd be really surprised if that were the case.
- Can't wait next week for the new magic stone, the first appearance of Wiseman, and Wizard vs Phoenix!
