Episode 44! Na-Go gets her final form, apparently!

It's so bizarre to me to see a female Rider penned by Takahashi of all people get so much love, considering how underutilized Poppy and especially Valkyrie were, but I admit I've been very pleasantly surprised by how much I loved Neon all throughout this season. ...I'm a little conflicted on the design, but

Oh, and uh... Spoilers, I guess...

-The phrase "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind.

-I just realized that Gya-Go's helmet is retooled from Seeker's. ...I feel a little sad knowing that, I really wish he got the chance to come into the main series for a bit the way Falchion did. I can see him being something of an inverse of how Bacht was in Saber. Er uh, Bahato. Sorry, I'm not a big fan of that romanization.

-It took you far too long to acknowledge that fact, Old Man Kousei.

-Now that's just gutwrenching.

-Whoa, claw!

-Good job, Kasahara-san. You've still got it.

-Akari...

-Fuck, man...

-For personal reasons I have no real desire to weigh in on the discussion on how this whole arc surrounding Neon and her family was handled, but...

-Man, Kousei. You've got a long road ahead of you before you can even try to make amends. Not just with Neon, but everyone who ever played this game.

-Oh, never mind that, the Fox Man is here!

-Oh what do you know about this world, Kekera?

-Hello, Michinaga. ...yeah, I'm calling you by your name again.

-I have to wonder, did Tohru resurrect in all the chaos?

-All we can do is play Beroba and Jitto's game better than them.

-Ohhhhh, I see. Powered with belief, like any good god.

-...I wonder if the Invess have their own religion surrounding Mai and Kouta?

-Tsumuri...

-No shit they'd kidnap Neon, Keiwa!

-You heard her constantly torturing Neon, man!

-I like how it's ambiguous that Keiwa

-Michinaga, whaddup man?

-The cow man has beef.

-Playing the DGP's game.

-Goddamn, whipping out the special first thing!

-Not even the Shogun's men stick around when he's off to war.

-God, I still can't get over how the Bujin is just a Real-Ass Goddamn Sword.

-Do you believe in Ace Ukiyo?

-Going foxhunting.

-"Then why do you still look so miserable?" :(

-All it took for the Shogun to rule was a few terrible lies and one terrible miscalculation.

-Hello, Irumi.

-You've also got a bajillion things to make up for.

-Gya-Go's core...

-"Give that back to the fox man, Neon."

-Wish granted?

-Oh, hi Beroba.

-"I have a job to do. It's my responsibility."

-Honey, I sincerely doubt you bought that gun of yours.

-Ohhhhhhhh

-Neon Kurama. Kamen Rider Na-Go!

-Welcome back to the game.

-Ohhhhh, that's good.

-Fantasy!

-Ready...

-Fight!

-Holy shit, she's a wizard.

-Oooooh, right where it hurts!

-Oh man, this is super disorienting.

-Ooooooogh.

-Goddamn, that's a finisher.

-Premium L.

-Off she goes.

-Down.

-"How's that despair treating you?"

-It's only right that Michinaga get in on this too.

-That's seven years bad luck right there, Beroba.

-Thanks, Jesus~!

-"Beroba's dead, man."

-...well, that's exactly how Keiwa's Inner Demon looked in Movie Battle Royale. ...think I'm gonna keep calling him the Shogun for a while. All the power and

-DA-PAAN?????

-HE'S STILL AROUND????

-Damn, I guess PunkJack's not transforming again until the new movie.

-Oh hello.

-You're Mela, the villain of the movie. Cross Geats, I believe your form is called.

-Somehow we always knew it'd come to this. And yet we

-That was quite exciting, wasn't it?

-Man... I'm not prepared for next episode.
