Determined to confront his father and finally discover the motivation behind his betrayal, Kento recruits Touma and Rintaro for a final showdown with Calibur. The result of their battle is a shocking revelation about the dark Rider’s true identity….
With King of Arthur out of his reach, Calibur plans to seize a new source of power. Meanwhile, Daishinji decides to express himself through music. Also, Durian battles Walnut.
Touma is feeling the pressure of wielding the King of Arthur powerup…for some reason. His indecision leads to Ogami getting turned to stone, marginally improving the quality of his character writing.
Touma and Kento drop acid and finally make their way to the legendary Desert of Avalon!…er, Soundstage of Avalon…Concrete Bunker of Avalon?
A lot of things happen! Most of them are very ugly! None of them make sense!
Wait, what? What’s going on? Who is that? Where are we? A television show you say? Could’ve fooled me.
Ogami is convinced of Touma’s good intentions and together the three Riders set off to rescue Sora. But their way is barred by an enemy from 15 years ago…
The young man on the flying carpet introduces himself as Kento Fukamiya, a childhood friend of Touma’s. Before they can get too reacquainted though, another Rider bursts onto the scene, this time with a small child in tow.
The mysterious stranger introduces himself as Rintaro Shindo, aka Kamen Rider Blades. He takes Touma and Mei to meet the mysterious Sophia, who explains the work of the ancient society known as the Sword of Logos.
Anime is back with a full roster of shows for the Fall 2020 season, but do any of them look good? You’ll just have to listen and find out.
Young novelist Touma Kamiyama dreams of a lost past full of swordsmen and monsters, and a mysterious girl who he doesn’t recognise. While out delivering a present, he and his editor Mei are caught up in an attack from another world, and only Touma can save the day as the Swordsman of Fire, Kamen Rider Saber!
A year has passed by and Zero has become One (and briefly, Two). We look back on the first Kamen Rider of the Reiwa era, and decide whether humanity deserves extinction after all.
Coming down the home stretch of a weird season with show ending at odd times, we wrap up Great Pretender (for now), Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise, and Kamen Rider Zero-One.
We talk anime business with the sale of Crunchyroll and the death of KissAnime, then on to our usual batch of Summer shows.
Artemis joins the usual crew as we talk about the timely Crunchyroll Anime Awards and our usual slate of anime episodes.
We catch up on some older shows, geek out about Keep Your Hands off Eizouken! again, and Jel reveals the true power behind Dorohedoro.
To wrap up our coverage of the GLORIO decade, Zigg takes a look at ten unforgettable moments from ten different shows across ten years.
With the end of Zi-O and the beginning of Zero-One, the Neo-Heisei era of Kamen Rider is now over. Not only this, but it fits perfectly into the last decade, meaning I have an excuse to take a look back at the last ten years of Kamen Rider, and assign arbitrary awards instead of moaning about how bad they were.
Jel, Iro, Gee, and Marlin cover the good, the bad, and the disappointing shows from the Fall season.
