Ok now I kinda regret bringing up my anti-weeb phase
Pls don’t think I’m a hypocrite or think I just got into anime bc it’s popular guys. I went thru both an “otaku” phase and a “no anime” phase ;-;

screamin bout zi-o 36
i had fun doing this last week, so let’s make another screencap post! of course, i said that, and then it took several days to upload all the pictures because tumblr just stops fucking working sometimes. anyhoo! it’s yuko kitajima roast hour. image-heavy and spoiler-heavy, naturally.
so ginga blew everyone up and they ran away to a sewer it seems.
Tumblr media
honestly that theory makes as much sense as anything else on this booty ass fuckin’ kamen rider show
Tumblr media
i was just like...he isn’t
Tumblr media
but then he was
Tumblr media
swartz: she could step on me in those red pumps and i’d say Thank You
hora: i regret so much right now
uhr: *shonen anime character walking down the street pose*
then over quartzer plays and im starting to feel a little lost because i don’t get to hear about the episode according to woz’s book? hello??
Tumblr media
yuko’s still out gettin her spa treatments and shit, god only knows how she got the money for all that, and somehow she never crosses paths with the cops or anyone who recognizes her from the news?? uh
Tumblr media
honestly yeah?? a queen deserves to look GOOD. her theme music is eerily sexy, i need an mp3 of it right now
Tumblr media
don’t get me wrong, im well aware that swartz is being a suck-up to try and get yuko to help with his plan to seize ginga’s power, but damn im kinda shipping swartz with yuko now too...i mean, he WAS looking at her while doing the sexy ice cream thing last week. what flavor ice cream would yuko be? black cherry chip maybe?
(headcanon: woz tries apple pie ice cream and declares it a crime against both apple pie and ice cream alike--but he still eats the whole coneful)
Tumblr media
hora and uhr get ZA WARUDO’D down the stairs by swartz
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we were all uhr right here
Tumblr media
yeaaaaaah she just doesn’t want to fight ginga
Tumblr media
tsukuyomi’s a mood. someone put a band-aid on geiz’s forehead pls
Tumblr media
ok woz i get that if you’re looking for a despotic ruler to follow that yuko is likely a better bet than sougo, but you’re missing an important detail: if yuko actually had a shot at becoming queen of everything, she’d already have one of you in tow, and you would most likely hate each other.
...majou means “demon queen” in this case, not “witch”, right?
Tumblr media
aaaaaand this...is the moment when yuko started making me very uncomfortable. the way she responds: “yes...i do remember. it’s you.”
Tumblr media
and sougo’s face just lights up--my guy, she could so easily be lying. she didn’t say one thing about the band-aid or the playground or anything that’d indicate she’s actually sougo’s crush.
like...if not for the fact that sougo had such a crush on the seifuku girl, it wouldn’t be all that major a memory. it likely wasn’t for the girl in question--just a happy sunny day cheering up a lonely little boy. a beautiful memory, yes...but memories fade.
Tumblr media
can someone please explain to me why woz’s characterization is all over the place in kiva arc? are you pro-yuko or anti-yuko, woz? i don’t understand what’s going through his pretty head at all honestly. he gets pretty taciturn in the scenes he’s not inhaling pie, but then at times he seems to think yuko’s cool aaaaaagh i don’t know
Tumblr media
junichiro: meowing, just wanted an excuse to cook lots of food
sougo: “yay, uncle’s cooking!”
woz: [deadpan monotone] “yaaaaaaay uncle’s cooking...”
Tumblr media
ive had enough of this evil bitch honestly but when she points it’s still Good Shit
Tumblr media
ridiculous move name, but also an awesome move name
Tumblr media
and turning to stone to heal up while the sun’s clouded over? very cool
Tumblr media Tumblr media
denied
Tumblr media
i noped so hard at this part. like...i really do feel protective of sougo. yuko doesn’t give a damn about him, she just doesn’t want him to get in her way.
Tumblr media
nope. no. nuh uh. you two step away from each other right now.
Tumblr media
YOU CANNOT MAKE BABIES WITH AN IDIOT FETUS
ok but in all seriousness, do you want time jackers? because, im calling it now, letting oma zi-o go in raw is how you get time jackers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah im pretty sure miho would’ve kept at it if she’d lived, and yuko...shes not gonna listen to sougo
Tumblr media
thank you for the much needed reality check furry man
Tumblr media
so she’s a...fu-joshi? 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☝☝☝
Tumblr media
yuko wears such fabulous shoes
Tumblr media
was anyone surprised at this point that yuko was the real killer? i sure wasn’t. not after all the obvious lies.
Tumblr media
i love her leitmotif. i need it. where do i download
Tumblr media
SHE DIDN’T PROMISE SHIT
Tumblr media
hey kids! it’s time for *mashes play button* la-la-la lies! yeah, tell me that you love me! la-la-la-lies! look deep into my eyes! la-la-la-lies! say there’s no one else above me! i’m the king of fools, cuz baby, you’re the queen of actually very hurtful and manipulative lies!
Tumblr media
that’s such bullshit
Tumblr media
now im the last person to be like “don’t play the dead mommy card”--i practically keep that card in the hello kitty wallet my dead mommy gave me. but i bet you yuko’s mom is just fine (aside from living with the trauma of knowing her daughter’s a murderer and pathological liar).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sougo,,,,,pls
Tumblr media
thank you tsukuyomi. god sougo really needs a chaperone with yuko around, he’s way too dumb and thirsty.
Tumblr media
GUESS WHO’S BACK. BACK AGAIN. fortunately, it seems swartz and woz have been just standing there watching him for the duration of the rain shower.
Tumblr media
lest we forget (because i didn’t screencap it), when zi-o took the brunt of ginga’s attack earlier, it sent him flying. now, that’s a human body, which has some ability to absorb force because it’s mostly pretty soft and fluid. yuko’s manhole cover almost completely absorbed this blast--she barely shifted her weight on impact. is it just that she’s THAT ripped? 
then The Boys rider kick ginga to oblivion. rip ginga, you didn’t have a personality or a character arc, we never even saw you un-transformed--you were just a cool looking plot device with pretty attacks. but for that much, we appreciate you!
Tumblr media
swartz looks so pleased with himself. he must not have watched the preview for this episode.
Tumblr media
YOINK! gotta love how swartz doesn’t look surprised so much as puzzled.
Tumblr media
sure am glad kurowoz took his other self’s advice and kept an eye on swartz
Tumblr media
i love it so much how woz just has these magic scarf powers and it needs no explanation? hell, he can fly and time travel and make people fall asleep and he’s super strong too, with no explanation? and he’s the comic relief? ALSO HE’S REALLY HOT? woz is a being to behold honestly
Tumblr media
speaking of super strong and really hot, yuko is KILLING IT in that gown. i mean...i guess that’s the intention. killing it. cuz she’s a homicidal maniac. haha.
Tumblr media
she’s so good at pointing. yuko could be a prosecutor in shuichi kitaoka: ace attorney. (FUND IT)
Tumblr media
yuko throws her manhole cover at the boys (rude!) and next we see geiz holding it. a shame we don’t get to see him snatch it out of midair. or did woz catch it and just hand it to him? we may never know.
Tumblr media
zi-o. listen to geiz, zi-o. use the fucking watch. just use the watch, zi-o. you seriously plan on just letting another kiva go on a killing spree? do you not get by now what she’s capable of?
Tumblr media
thank goodness zi-o has his retainers to make wise decisions so he doesn’t have to.
Tumblr media
please note the placement of mars on ginga woz’s suit. very important.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I Love You
Tumblr media
lmao
Tumblr media
WHERE IS YOUR MANHOLE COVER NOW
Tumblr media
my favorite character gets a beautiful rainbow final attack. i feel so blessed.
Tumblr media
i mean...protecting all mankind would probably include protecting them from people like yuko. just sayin.
Tumblr media
is it bad of me that my immediate thought right then was “at least woz’s attack wasn’t what did her in.”
Tumblr media
this shot, especially in the context of the church, definitely gave me pieta vibes--albeit reversed somewhat.
Tumblr media
weirdly enough, woz does an outro instead of an intro this episode.
Tumblr media
at this point while watching, i said to shylax “you know what this calls for? pie!” but before i could finish--
Tumblr media
--PIE! cmon sougo, it’s time to gobble up your feelings!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fucking woz, i swear, you have pie in your mouth and pie in your right hand and pie on your FACE and when your overlord expresses how miserable he is you just go for his uneaten pie with your empty hand.
...is it normal to eat pie like this in japan? because the only times i’ve seen americans make this much of a mess eating pie is when they’re toddlers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh hey, what do you know? looks like sougo’s first love wasn’t a violent crazy person after all. she also wasn’t yuko.
Tumblr media
sougo’s just an idiot who will mistake any older woman who rubs him on the chin and calls him cute for his sailor girl.
previews!
Tumblr media
i blame joshua kiryu
Tumblr media
how eloquently this one line sums up not only kamen rider zi-o but kamen rider decade as well. that’s it, that’s the show. that’s the clusterfuck we will inevitably get whenever toei decides to make a kamen rider crossover.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THIS! TSUKUYOMI REMEMBERED SOMETHING! who is she smiling at? is it her dad? is that swartz behind her?! omg baby tsukuyomi is so CUTE!
Tumblr media
“a team”. uh huh. is that what the youth are calling it these days? cuz when i was a wee lass, i believe they called it “fucking”.
so what have we learned this week?
very little about ginga
sougo does not remember faces all that well
before sougo dates ANYONE that person should be fully vetted by junichiro, geiz, tsukuyomi, and woz because CLEARLY HE CANNOT SAFELY CHOOSE A PARTNER FOR HIMSELF
i still really like yuko as a character, if not as a person. same as i enjoy junji ito manga, but would be very upset if most of it happened in real life.
swartz loves a woman who can kick his ass
what the fuck are manhole covers in this world
i can’t wait for baby tsukuyomi flashbacks! that, and more tsukasa.
