I'm tempted to say this was the best Ninninger yet---really fun, creative, and with a decent amount of plot movement. The MOTW had a really cool look and voice, too.
Hope this keeps up.

Also maybe the Ninninger quality bump is due to the new staff?

Drive 45
-A pretty action-packed episode. The start with all 3 riders fighting together in their base forms with no additional power-ups just felt satisfying to watch.
-Oh, hey. The emergency Drive pit creator being
was a nice touch (though I feel like he could've been better integrated into the main cast juuuuust bit more).

Just like with the intro 3 riders fighting at the beginning of the episode, this episode hits all the right buttons for me in terms of action.

FIVE AT ONCE WITH HEART AND MEDIC JOINING IN!
-Finally, the last scene with
Chase dying was pretty well done. The transformation into Machine Chaser was a nice little treat and the resulting wound from the signal axe and his impending explosion made his death seem much more savage in comparison to the sparks+explosion you'd usually get.
Drive is goooooooooood. Banno's maniacal laugh can deliver everything. The fights are gread, though Heart looks really awkward when running.
(I loved how the three Riders de-transformed mid episode so they can have their epic transforming scene again).
Next, on Kamen Rider Drive!
People yelling!

I think I stopped Ninnin at 25, and I'm not missing it. Drive's final is just so good and Ninnin characters so bland.
would be Harley, yeah.
I didn't think everybody was oddly calm, but it bugged me that
I was sure that the responsible for the
Emergency Pit
I didn't think everybody was oddly calm, but it bugged me that
Gen and some other cops were in the scene with Drivers, Gen shouted "let's go gelp them" at some point but they never got near Gold Drive, didn't get affected by the explosion neither were shown during or after it. They kinda just teleported back to the police station.
Oh yeah, Heart and Medic running was pretty awkward haha.

I see... well, I like Chase, he's probably my favorite of the three, so
I hope they at least give a good reason to bring him back to life. Thinking a bit about it, him coming back to life could mean all the roidmudes could also be revived, no? Unless he's special for being 000 and all that.
Ninninger 28
Oh god, that was a great episode. Silly Ninninger is the best Ninninger.
While I'm not a big fan of most recurring enemies, I think it would be better if Izayoi's ninjas didn't die in one week, like the western Yokai. Would make them feel stronger, imo. Well, maybe he'll be back, since he got his shuriken back at the end.
Ohhh, another dad's powers episode next week, nice!

bad gameplay lol
My theory on Chase:
He's the only one of the main Roidmudes whose original human we haven't seen yet. Maybe the Chase we'll get in the Ghost teamup/future teamups will be "human" Chase? I know that's stretching it a bit (hell, it's my theory and I don't even really believe it), but it's one possibility.
000, no core, 3 forms (human/roidmude/machine chaser) besides Rider, memories in the Shift Bike, multiple programmings (000, ProtoDrive, Chaser, Chaser altered by Brain, back to normal to back to normal with memories restored, awakened multiple human emotions instead of a single intense one), he's unique between the Roidmudes.
Ninninger 28
Yeah this really does feel like a retool. Instead of just fighting Yokai, they're now fighting a school of ninja. Everyone feels reinvigorated too, with a greater team dynamic than before.
Pretty big plot bomb at the end there. I guess the subtitles also confirmed Kyuuemon is male (unless he was using gender-neutral pronouns and OT just went with the scans)

Another thing regarding Chase:
There was no picture of him with the flowers on the Toei site this week. He got his flowers when filming on the series wrapped along with Shinnosuke and Gou's actors. He'll be back before the end, for sure.

The second one was proven fake this episode. Medic also had her memories and emotions messed up with a few times, for different reasons. The others may be because he was a prototype, but yeah, I kinda feel that's
the reason he can come back to life and other roidmudes no.
Of course, it could just be that
Chase "comes back" for the final episode, which we know is the crossover with Ghost not written by the main writer and it therefore might not be canon with the show.

Ghost is debuting
in 47 though, even though 48 is the one more focused on him. And
Sofubi Sentai Ninninger 28
-The team's toy infiltration and sofubi AkaNinger at the beginning already had me sold on this episode.
-Another appearance of the ED dance? Why do I feel like Ninninger's going to pull a "Song of the Earth" twist and have it turn out to be important later on?
-The running sequence was admittedly pretty clever.
-Of course, we cap it off with a running roll call. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep finding new ways to do one like every 5 episodes or so.
-The plot twist at the end
Even then, it's actually nice that the show is continuing along that character arc and not forgetting about it.

with Tsumiji's powers actually has me intrigued if they're going to end up having another team member soon.
I would think
so, if only because the roll call seems off with Star on the side and no one on the opposite side

The funny thing is that I only noticed their swords formed a star on the roll call after StarNinger broke it.
I'm still so upset that they seemingly gave up on having Foundation X be a thing after Fourze's movie.
I miss this from Kamen Rider Double-Fourze. I don't mind if Ghost wants to be a self-contained story, but it'd be nice if Takeru hears of the term "Kamen Rider" because of Shinnosuke being the first public one.
The symmetry must be fulfilled! I was just thinking this around Kinji's debut.

Drive in general seems to be trying to make everything "count". There was a tv magazine special that was a direct sequel to Type Zero, and later it was referenced in the tv show; there's the extra episodes with the blu-ray boxes; they've killed Roidmudes in almost every tie in video and crossover to make them 'count'. So, I'm not surprised that they'll have Ghost in the finale itself, rather than only a special crossover episode.
I only wonder if this will be only something for Drive or if they'll keep it up from now on.

So...apparently the top three dudes in Kamen Rider among gay men in Japan are Date, Ryuusei, and Tendou.
We're gonna have three more Ninningers, with Kyuuemon switching back over to the good side to become the ninth. Or that's what I'd do for the pun on Kyuu...
I'd dig it...
Tsumiji=Violet
Kyuuemon=Green
Gramps=Rainbow/Big One
Kyuuemon=Green
Gramps=Rainbow/Big One
The writer/producer combo on Kyoryuger and Kamen Rider Drive seem to be pretty continuity-minded, which, I guess, is the reason why they're pretty insistent on having a connected universe and doing things like having a specific number of roidmudes.
With that said, Ghost's connection to this "universe" is entirely dependent on whether or not the next producer/writer are willing to go through with it. Kazuhiro Takahashi's assistant producer credit on Fourze has me thinking it might continue on... But then again, he and the show's writer might just want to create a more self-contained story (like Gaim) and not bother with stuff like that.
Date I can see
I still think Eiji is hotter though
Doing some digging for college work and found a master thesis about tokusatsu including mentions to fan made ones: the french France Five, the brazilian Insector Sun and the thai Sport Ranger. Neat stuff!
I wasn't the only one!

"The Galactic Light might be hidden in skyscrapers, so let's blow them up using human shaped robots with bombs in them"
WOW! They can NOT make that kind of episode today.
Black Knight/Magna Defender's design is still awesome. We are long overdue for a Sentai with capes, it's been 10 years since Magiranger (and those capes were kind of lame)

Maybe Sentai could go with Knights? They've never really tackled that, and they could have capes...
Also Dragomaru makes me think perhaps to fit that theme all the Mecha being different Dragons from across history's legends would be neat.

Or maybe just go with mystical beasts, like Changeman.
Dragon, Unicorn, Griffon...

I was thinking a mecha where the gimmick is a centaur---
Like Red gets various mechas that form the upper-body, and the other 4 members have Mecha that combine into the legs. And it ends up being a centaur-style robot.

Or maybe something like a knight mecha and a mount mecha. Mecha jousting!

You have to lessen your definition of dragon a bit. After Western and Eastern pickings get slim.
