    The juicy kid commercials have been better with every new series

    So my expectations are high

    One thing I'll say about Ghost's finale...
    ...is that I like how the Boost Eyecon was given a relevant role. It would be easy to just forget that this is his dad's soul he's using to fight with and consider it just an upgrade presumably past it's prime thanks to Infinite but the writers never did and I appreciate that. Grateful was also there at least in spirit (no pun intended) what with the Parka-Ghosts fighting in their humanoid form. And I couldn't help feel that Ghost's final kick was a bit of a nod to his first as it wasn't 'death from above' as usual.

    Ghost thoughts
    The villains ended up pretty boring and i kept waiting for them to give Alain something cool to do, and i felt like that never really happened

    Makoto had stuff near the end but it was largely nonsense you have to work very hard to read anything into

    But damn if it wasn't a fun ride along the way

    Ok, I will put up one disappointment I had with Ghost's finale (Drive finale spoilers mentioned).
    That being Makoto and Alain doing nothing much worthwhile in the fight other then be part of the cheering squad. Even their clean-up of the goons the Great-Eyezer sicced on them was done for them by Genm. I may feel bummed on how things turned out in Drive's finale for Chase but at least he and Go actually did something important by taking out Banno. Hell, after they hyped up the connection Deep Specter had with the Ganmaizers, you'd think they'd at least give Makoto a part to shine by using said connection to help weaken the bond between them and the Great Eye to help out Takeru in his fight with the Great-Eyezer but nope. To reduce the secondary Riders in a series to spectators at the end blows.

    Completely agree on that point. The Drive finale was 10000% better in that respect.

    Remember how I was sort of hesitant about it at the end of our episode on ep 1?

    I was worried it was going to run out of steam, and it did in a lot of ways, specifically in the humor and pathos department

    But at least the whole show was nice

    One thing that bothered me in Ghost
    What ever happened to Necrom's ability to like, suck up Ganma mooks and turn them into fuel so he could keep going? They kind of dropped that as soon as he became good, which is a shame because that could have helped keep him relevant as the power levels ramped up.

    Oh also, about the finale
    Why is it that Dark Ex-Aid showed up in the episode as opposed to regular Ex-Aid? Are they the same guy? I admit I haven't kept up as closely with Ex-Aid reveals as I could have.

    That might be answered in this week's epilogue episode.

    I honestly wouldn't be bugged by it if the show didn't make a point of showing how underpowered he was in the final third

    honestly the only thing about rider forms that ticked me off was
    the fact that they gave us a female rider who only henshins once, immediately jobs for the villain, and then spends the rest of the series sitting on box looking worried

    like they were almost about to throw girls a bone but then remembered they were kamen rider and fixed that mistake but good

    To be fair...
    ...it's not made clear just how much power the Dark Necrom sets have, much less the one she got. And she went against two of the Ganmaizers and while she lost she did kinda break them apparently. I agree she should have had a better showing much less a second one but I'm not gonna blame her jobbing in a two-on-one fight against a pair of enemies that require Infinite or Deep Specter's level of power to beat single-handedly.

    Oh!
    I had completely forgotten Alia's one-and-done Dark Necrom henshin

    I didn't even almost consider her a rider, same as Edith, honestly, for me.

    Also 1-2-3 never gets old and is sometimes the best part of the episode

    I'm really gonna miss it when I finish the show

    Also also if Yuuki doesn't become a rider, there is no justice in the world. She deserves it for her enthusiasm alone

    Shun and possibly Mui should too (though I like having the leader in the command center role)

    This really should have been a multi-rider show like Gaim or Ex-Aid

    Yuuki has enough bad episodes that i might put her at number 2

    But i feel a little sad about it

    The only bad yuuki eps imo are (spoilers??)
    obviously the Gemini eps and even then it's the entire series' worst episodes.

    I really don't like the choice to make her almost fail the space program tests but in weird way i'm not sure if i can blame the character for that

    Which is a compliment because it was narrative consistent

    Ghost's final episode is just a couple of hours or less away from airing but it looks like we'll be getting more from the series then just the Movie Wars appearance with Ex-Aid.

    1IY64zu.jpg

    Ghost's first direct-to-video special was announced. As you can see, it focuses on Specter and it comes with a new Eyecon for those that buy the collector's edition...
    ...the Shin Specter Eyecon.

    I love that the title still references ninninger even with the ex-aid mention.

    I'm interested in a Spectre spin off movie because he was the most underutilized of the three riders

    even though Necrom spent a good chuck of the end of the series being underpowered, as a character he still got to do stuff

    Magazine scans for October finally pulls back the curtain on one of the two yet-identified Riders in Ex-Aid.
    P9mUjLT.jpg

    Lazer's Bakusou Bike Gashat rests in the hands of Kiriya Kujo whom you may recall is Saiga Hospital's coroner. Unlike Brave, Genm and potentially Snipe, Kiriya's seemingly willing to work alongside Ex-Aid rather then get dragged into Rider-vs-Rider conflict.

    jnLOIYh.jpg9Y5o592.jpg

    As you may also remember, Lazer's Lv2 form is indeed not humanoid which caused some fan-speculation over him being human to begin with. However, as the second scan shows, that's only limited (so far) to his Lv2 form as Lv1 is as two-legged as the other Riders. Toy catalog scans released earlier indicates he'll also gain a proper humanoid-Rider form once he uses his Lv3 Gashat.

    there were also potential but unconfirmed leaks of toys for three unannounced riders

    these could be spoilers or total bullshit but I want to believe at least one
    The Puzzle Gamer, Kamen Rider Escher

    The Simulation Gamer, Kamen Rider Yuusha

    and

    THE HORROR GAMER, KAMEN RIDER WITCH

    SPOOKY GOTH LOLITA RIDER????

    I could go for an "ALL OF THE RIDERS" series that's actually good

    Please be actually good, i don't think i could take Kamen Rider Witch being boring, i would be be so mad

    ryuki is a very boring "all of the riders" series that ends on a spectacular note, one of the few rider shows to actually have a good ending
