That was really good! probably Gavv at it's best.
Shouma's portrayal of genuine strength in character was so good, specially after seeing what his fake "strong guy facade" looks like, and how easily it crumbled before, he is finally being capable of not only being physically strong, but also someone who others can rely on their moments of weakness, Sachika was also really good, people wouldn't have so much of a gripe with rider girls not getting to transform, is their characters were given good arcs and moments like Sachika has, she has reached the point where she can no longer call herself an outsider looking it, that have also taken someone from her.
The second half, was also really good, as most form debuts are, but the cinematography was soooo god, alongside some pretty nice direction in general, even the lazy repaints this time are thematically relevant, playing around with the non gimmick physical aspects of the suits is always fun, and this episode brough back all the combat gimmicks are well, the diegetic sound effects, the cake guards, the ice combat, they played all the hits without having the fight feel like a mess and still managed to give a pretty good showing to the new form, al also brought back some of the thug~ish vibes Vramm had before his redemption which made for a nice contrast to his knight inspired form


such a drag, that like 10 episodes off from the finale we still have and entire check list of villains to deal with, but that's gavv's fault, time episode on it's own it's probably some of the best Toku we have gotten since Reiwa and on pair with some of Heisei's best
