"Ritsuka… I'm sorry… I failed…"
I still remember his words from that day.
"Please, run away. It won't be long before they overrun the town. You have to get as far away from here as you can. "
I didn't want to leave him.
"Don't worry about me… Here, take this…"
He gave me one last gift.
"This is the key to your dreams… Once you find the strength inside of your heart… and with the power in your hand, you'll make your dream a reality and make everyone smile… I know it…"
But he was wrong. My dream is just that, a dream. I feign strength to cheer up the others but… I never found it…
Section 4: Humanity's Destroyers/Humanity's Protectors
Somewhere within the Lostbelt…
A hooded figure wandered aimlessly through the ruins of an abandoned town, lost in his thoughts. In the short few days since he came to this Lostbelt, it was made clear to him that there was little to no hope for humanity here, just like all the others. In fact, he had learned that the only place where humans could live (if you could even call it that) was in a single warehouse in the middle of what was essentially a battlefield. At least they're protected for the most part.
The alternate versions of the first two Crypters Chaldea had fought were now, ironically, all that stands between humanity's survival and its extinction. And, of course, there's the Fujimaru Ritsuka that was native to this Lostbelt leading them. If he was anything like the Fujimaru Ritsuka that he knew, then this Lostbelt's humans will be in safe hands.
But now that Chaldea has arrived, he couldn't help but wonder what will happen. Which history will triumph over the other? Or to be more accurate, which Fujimaru Ritsuka will triumph? In the end, they will have to fight each other to protect their respective world.
Hiden warehouse, satellite room…
"...Do you ever wonder why people don't like you?"
"Nope."
"So you're choosing to be an asshole to everyone?" Kadoc didn't bother holding his tongue.
"I'm simply choosing not to be nice. The fact that you keep lashing out is your own problem, Gorilla." "Stop calling me that!" "Why should I, Gorilla?" "Why you-!"
"Alright, alright, settle down Kadoc." "Hey!" Before Kadoc could do anything, Hiden stepped in and stopped his friend from getting into another fight, dragging Kadoc away.
"Hey, Ophelia? Can you please keep an eye on him?" "Why? I already have to take care of him every other day." "Stop talking like I'm a kid! I'm the oldest out of the three of us!" "Then act like it… and you're only older than me by a couple of months." "Not going to lie, I keep forgetting that. You always acted like a mother to us." "Hey! I'm not that old!" "I didn't say you were!"
While the three alternate universe Masters were busy arguing with each other, Ritsuka took the chance to talk with his troublemaking Servant. "Hey Decade, come over here for a sec," He called the Rider over.
"What?" The Servant asked as he went over to the Chaldeans' side.
"I-" "Okay, first off, how did you get here before me?!" "Are we really still doing this?" Ritsuka sighed as Da Vinci grabbed Decade by his collar and violently shook him, demanding answers from the other Servant. The sight of a young girl shaking the living daylights out of a stone-faced man a couple of heads taller than her would be a funny sight had it not been for their current situation. Granted, the Lostbelt version of himself and Kadoc currently getting told off by Ophelia about her age in the background wasn't helping with the seriousness of the situation either.
"Da Vinci, may you please let him go?" Holmes politely asked his fellow Servant. "I don't think he's in a position to answer you as he is."
"Mmm… Fine." She pouted as she released Decade, who simply dust off his collar and shoulders in response.
"Decade, can you please tell us how you got here? We were looking for you back in Chaldea," Mash politely questioned him.
"It really should be me asking you that." He shot back. "I thought Chaldea cannot travel to other Worlds. How did all of you end up here?"
"We can't, not unless there are excruciatingly specific conditions." Ritsuka shrugged, "But we're still in our own world, right?"
"Technically this place is part of our planet, it's a potential present that could have happened had things gone differently. Way differently," Da Vinci explained while looking pointedly at the other Ritsuka, who was currently being held in a headlock by Lostbelt Kadoc for some reason.
"Decade, can we safely assume your… portals are how you arrived here?" Holmes had deduced that as soon as he had heard that the Servant was in here.
"Naturally." Decade confirmed Holmes' deduction. "I came here right after my talk with him in the cafeteria." He gestured to Ritsuka.
"But how did you learn about this Lostbelt so quickly? Senpai didn't know about it until a couple of hours later."
"... Lostbelt?" The Rider-Class Servant raised an eyebrow at what Mash told him. "This is a Lostbelt?" He asked.
"Yes. This is a Lostbelt…" Decade not realizing that they were in a Lostbelt was slightly worrying. "What else could this place be?" Ritsuka meant it as a rhetorical question. He was not expecting that his Servant would actually answer him.
"An A.R. World," Decade told them with a completely straight, if indifferent, face. "At least, it was one when I came here… I think. I didn't check."
"A.R.?" Ritsuka assumed that was what Decade called Parallel Worlds. "Wait, we're getting way too sidetracked here." Especially his Lostbelt self, who was now trying to prevent Ophelia from strangling Kadoc. "We should be planning our next move." They could discuss the nature of this Lostbelt later.
"Correction: you should be planning your next move. I, unfortunately, have to keep helping Hiden while we're here." Despite sounding annoyed, Decade didn't look like it.
"Help him with what?"
"For starters, those three should be preparing this place's defenses. Not that there are many defenses here in the first place. Isn't that right, Hiden?"
"Hm?" Lostbelt Ritsuka muttered upon hearing his name being called. "What did you say?"
"Do you also get distracted that easily?" Decade ignored Hiden in favor of questioning Ritsuka on his own attention span.
"Usually." "Depends on the situation." "Not that much in Lostbelts." "Stop answering for me!"
"Shouldn't you three be checking your ammo stocks or something and not be down here arguing?" Decade turned back to face the Lostbelt natives, who had finally stopped arguing.
"We came down here because of you!" Kadoc shouted at Decade, "You still haven't told us where you ran off to!"
"I was busy doing something else," he told them.
"And what is this 'something else?'"
"That's a secret, so I don't need to answer you. I'll be upstairs if you need me. I'm going on break." Without waiting for a response, Decade went off to do whatever it is he does.
"As much as I don't want to agree with him, Decade's right," admitted Ophelia. "We need to go back up and prepare for another attack."
"Another attack?"
"Yes, they always come after a supply run." Lostbelt Ritsuka nodded before silently adding, "Among other times…"
"If this place is about to be attacked, we'll help you protect it." For her tone, it was obvious that Mash didn't mean it as an offer. Next to her, Ritsuka was nodding in agreement.
"What? But… you've already helped us plenty!" Hiden protested, trying to come up with reasons to not drag the Chaldeans into his problems. "None of you are even from this World!" He didn't mean it in a demeaning way, he just didn't want them to get hurt helping him.
His Proper Human History self, however, was having none of it. "Whether or not we're from here doesn't matter. In the end, everyone here is human, right? We're supposed to be helping each other in times of need." And being about to be attacked by robots hell-bent on killing all of them was certainly a time of need. "Besides, it's not like we can go somewhere else." The Shadow Border was still in need of repairs, after all.
"But-" "No buts! We're helping you guys and that's final!"
"Just let them help, it's not like they've got anything better to do." Kadoc took the Chaldeans' side, "Might as well let them make themselves useful."
"But…alright…" Hiden finally relented upon hearing Kadoc. "We do need the help, I guess."
"Exactly. They've already proven themselves to be helpful." Ophelia reminded him, "If they didn't come along, Kadoc and I wouldn't be here right now."
Listening to them, Ritsuka couldn't help but give a small, sad smile. He was more than glad that he could help out, but a small part knew that it might not matter in the end. This was a Lostbelt after all…
Sometime later…
When Decade had said that there weren't many defenses around the camp, he wasn't kidding. All the place had was the fence surrounding the compound and a bunch of guards with assault rifles. Not really comforting. That being said, the denizens of the camp including the mentioned guards didn't seem to be worried about their precarious circumstances, or rather, they weren't as worried as they should be when they were about to be attacked by killer robots. Ritsuka had chalked that up to them being used to it and didn't give it much more thought.
On the other hand, there was one thing he couldn't ignore. While helping around the camp like fortifying the fence and distributing ammo, Ritsuka (Mash had decided to help Ophelia) had noticed that his Lostbelt counterpart wasn't around. They had all come up to the surface together, yet he can't recall seeing Hiden after that. Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Decade around either and wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad one.
"Hey, Fujimaru!" Kadoc came looking for him while Ritsuka went searching for his other self and his Servant, "Do you know where Hiden went? No one's seen him for the past hour."
"I haven't seen him either." Ritsuka shook his head. "How about Decade? Has anyone seen him?"
"Great, that guy's missing too…" Kadoc grumbled under his breath.
"So, that's a no," sighed Ritsuka. "Have you checked the Shadow Border? Maybe they're on it," He suggested, "I was just about to go look there myself."
"Your tank? It's worth a shot." Seeing as the camp was about to be under siege, Da Vinci had elected to move the Border to a safer spot than right outside the gates. Granted, inside the warehouse wasn't that much safer even if it was rather large.
"Nope, they're not here." Outside the Shadow Border, Da Vinci told them that Hiden and Decade weren't inside it either, "Decade came by earlier and took Merlin with him though but they haven't come back."
"Well that's just perfect, isn't it? I'm going to see if Ophelia's seen him." "Wait, there's something we'd like to know." Before Kadoc could get too far, he was stopped by Holmes, who had just stepped out of the Border.
"What is it?" "Seeing as we're about to fight them, it would be best if you tell us everything you know about MetsubouJinrai," Holmes told Kadoc.
"Guess you've got a point. But I could only tell you guys about their fighting prowess. If you want to know about their backstory, you'll have to ask Ophelia or Ritsuka; they know about that more than me."
"Just their abilities will be sufficient for now. Their past is not important now. Come in. You too, Fujimaru."
Meanwhile, somewhere else...
How long they've been in this desert or where exactly said desert was, Hiden Ritsuka didn't know.
ATTACK RIDE: BLAST
RISING DYSTOPIA!
Not that it mattered as he dodged Decade's attack with ease. He wasn't in a position to worry about where he was as he trained with the other Kamen Rider. Decade had told him (not promised) that they would be back in time to help protect the camp when he brought A.R. Ritsuka to this place to help him get used to using his Driver again.
"Is relying on your speed all you can do?" Decade taunted him, presumably smirking underneath that magenta helmet. "Come at me already!"
And he did. He tried to, at least. Even if he discounted the fact that he never had that much punching power when transformed, the punch to Decade's chest did zilch to the other Rider and left him open to an attack.
ATTACK RIDE: SLASH
He also wasn't that resistant to any type of attack so Decade's sword hurt. Ritsuka was sent rolling onto the ground, sparks flying off the black-and-yellow armor before it disappeared as something was ejected out of his belt.
"Already down?" Ritsuka couldn't tell if that was another taunt or not. "We've been doing this for a couple of hours already and all you've done is go down after every single hit."
"..." Ritsuka couldn't disagree with that. While it may just be Decade who was much stronger, knowing that didn't do much to ease his growing feeling of uselessness.
"Come on, get up. We still have a bit more time before we have to return." Decade said as he kicked Ritsuka's ProgriseKey over to where he was laying, "Hey, Merlin. Do your thing."
Merlin, who had been watching from the sidelines after being dragged along, said, "Now, I like watching you beat people up as much as the next person but is this really necessary?"
"You're the one with Clairvoyance, you tell me," retorted Decade.
"Mine doesn't work like that, you know." Still, Merlin decided to heal the injured A.R. version of Ritsuka, giving Hiden some advice as he did. "Don't listen to anything he says. If he says one thing, do the other," the wizard said, "Of course, he may be counting on you not listening to him so take my advice with a grain of salt, or sand as it were."
"Right…" With no other choice, Ritsuka grabbed the Rising Hopper ProgriseKey. Grunting as he got back up, Ritsuka pressed a button on the ProgriseKey.
JUMP!
Back at the camp…
Instead of taking him up to the cockpit, they had brought Kadoc to the back of the Border where the Servants that Ritsuka had brought with him were staying. Seeing as they'll be helping fight the HumaGears off, learning about their upcoming foes would be smart. Kadoc, for the most part, didn't ask why there were five oddly dressed people wielding cool weapons hanging in the back of the truck/tank hybrid Chaldea had. What he did raise an eyebrow at were the Valkyries.
"That will be confusing later…" Ritsuka heard Kadoc saying to himself.
"Tell us the basics first, Kadoc," Ritsuka said.
"As you already know, there are four of them; Horobi, Naki, Jin, and Ikazuchi," Kadoc stated, "The ones you ran over when you saved us earlier were Horobi and Ikazuchi."
"So we can count them out today?" "That's wishful thinking." Kadoc shot down that idea, "They're robots, remember? They can just repair themselves after every battle. It wouldn't surprise me if at least Ikazuchi shows up just to come after you guys."
"That's comforting," Da Vinci remarked sarcastically, "So talk about him first; strength, weaknesses, anything at all."
"He's strong, fast, and likes to 'call down the thunder.'" Kadoc made air quotes on his last point, "It would be laughable if it weren't for the fact that he always follows through with his promise."
"Wonder how he does that, thunder's the sound." Ritsuka tried to joke, but all he got was blank stares from the others. "Right, not the time. Please continue."
"As for weaknesses, Ikazuchi's hot-headed. It wouldn't take much to rile him up and get him distracted enough to take him out."
"I'm sensing a 'but' coming up."
"But the other three are aware of this and sometimes plan on us trying to enrage Ikazuchi if he shows up," Kadoc explained.
"So no solid way to fight Ikazuchi then?" "No." "Well, that's just perfect." Ritsuka sighed. While he did not doubt that his Servants could handle Ikazuchi, he could easily see that fighting him would still be tough. "How about Horobi?" He asked.
"Out of the four of them, Horobi is easily the strongest and most skilled. He likes using his bow but wouldn't hesitate to get up close and personal if he needs to," Kadoc answered before adding, "The closest thing he has to a weakness is Jin."
"Jin as in one of the other members of their group?"
"Yes, Jin is his son or something like that." Kadoc shrugged, not caring either way. "I say weakness, but Jin himself is equally a pain to deal with. He's quick, can fly, and has a habit of grabbing us and dropping us from the sky. Jin's most obvious flaw is his childishness. He sees fighting us as a game more than anything."
"...I have several questions." Ritsuka stopped him from continuing, still trying to process what Kadoc had said about Horobi's and Jin's relationship. He gets if just one of them was a robot and considered the other to be family (like a certain pair of ninjas that were in Chaldea) but how would that work if both were machines. "Did Horobi build Jin or something?"
"I told you, I don't know much about their past," Kadoc reminded him sourly, "All I can say is they're related."
"And Jin can fly?" A flying killer robot was not something Ritsuka thought he'd encounter. Granted, he didn't think he'd be facing actual robots (automatons doesn't count) in the first place so anything in this Lostbelt could surprise him.
"Yes." Kadoc simply nodded, not going into any specific details and going ahead and telling them about the last member of MetsubouJinrai, "Naki is faster than Jin, calmer and doesn't have anything obvious that we can exploit."
"That's pretty short," Ritsuka noted.
"I barely fight them. Whenever Naki gets sent here, it's always Ophelia who fights them and makes me fight whoever accompanies them," Kadoc explained, making not only Holmes raise an eyebrow at the comment, but also nearly everyone else minus Merlin.
"I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for everyone here when I say what do you mean you two fight them?!" Ritsuka cried. All that about how powerful MetsubouJinrai was yet Kadoc casually mentioned that he and Ophelia regularly fought them.
Kadoc, however, didn't understand their confusion. "What are you so surprised about? We were fighting them when you ran Horobi and Ikazuchi over with this thing." To emphasize his point, Kadoc knocked on the wall of the cargo bay.
"Then how do you fight them? I doubt a gun would be enough to stop them." Holmes questioned Kadoc.
"...You don't know what we are. You don't even know what those four really are either." It wasn't a question but rather a statement of fact. "I thought Pinky would have told you at least a little about us."
"Hey, in case you've forgotten, we only arrived in this Lostbelt this morning. We know absolutely nothing about this place." Since Kadoc was well aware of them being from another World (kind of), Da Vinci saw no need to hide that fact from him or mince her words for that matter. "If it seems we don't know anything, it's because we don't. Now, what do you mean by what you really are?!"
"...You're not all secretly robots too, are you?" At this point, after everything he's dealt with, that would not be completely out of the left field.
"...I'm getting tired of dealing with you guys." Guess Kadoc didn't like that assumption, "I have to get prepared, I'll see myself out. Do what you want until then." Before he even had finished his sentence, Kadoc was already on his way out of the cargo bay.
"At least we can strategize in peace now."
Sometime later...
"Thank you again for helping me, Mash." "Oh, don't mention it." The Shielder said she and Ophelia went up to the upper floor of the warehouse where the lookout was, "I'm fine with helping in any way I can."
"Still, you were helpful. Why don't you take a break, you'll need it." Ophelia told her before going to talk with the previously mentioned lookout, leaving Mash by herself.
"Hey, Shielder, where's Fujimaru?" Well, alone for all of two seconds. Guess who decided to come in dragging a very tired looking Ritsuka with him.
"Huh? I'm not sure, I haven't seen him." Not knowing that the two were missing for the past few hours, Mash answered as she normally would. However, seeing the state that Hiden was in did arouse some suspicion from her. "Um… what were you doing with him?"
"Training him," answered Decade. "With what's about to happen, Hiden needs to catch back up with the other six."
"Other six?" Once again, Decade was giving her information without actually giving her any.
"And he's still not ready. Keep an eye on him later, will you Shielder?" Decade ignored Mash's question and continued talking, earning a look of ire from not just her but also Hiden.
"Hey, I'm standing right here," The other Ritsuka groaned in both irritation and exhaustion.
"I'm being honest here, you're behind compared to the others. When was the last time you last used one?"
"...1 and a half years ago," Hiden half-whispered, not wanting to actually answer him.
"Wow," Decade said in a flat tone, "You're really behind everybody. Well, I better go find the other you. He has something of mine." With that, the photographer took off, leaving Hiden with Mash.
"Um, what was that about?" Completely confused and not being able to follow anything that Decade said just now, Mash decided to ask for an explanation from the alternate version of her Senpai.
"It's a long story…" Hiden sighed again.
"I see, so another time then." Mash understood that there shouldn't be much time before they'll be attacked so she didn't press on any further.
"Um… So… What do you think about this place." Trying to ease some of the tension, Hiden tried to make some small talk.
Unfortunately, that only managed to put Mash in a bit of a spot as she wasn't expecting him to say anything. "Oh, well…" She struggled to answer him. Luckily, someone came to save her.
"Ritsuka!" Ophelia called out to him from the other side of the large room. "They're here!"
...Well, not luckily…
Inside the Shadow Border…
"Alright, everything's set." Having spent the last half-hour coming up a semi-decent game plan for fighting MetsubouJinrai with some input from the other Servants, Ritsuka was as ready as he possibly could for the upcoming battle. There were just a couple of factors that were hard to take into account.
First, there was Decade. Even excluding how independent he likes to be, Ritsuka still doesn't know much about his Servant's abilities beyond what he demonstrated before. In terms of combat abilities, Decade's definitely up there in terms of variety but what varieties were available was nearly completely unknown.
The second problem was… well, it'll be more accurate to say that there were two; Lostbelt Ophelia and Kadoc. Clearly, there's something about them that was special. It was just that they've failed to specify why they were, just that they were. Only clue they have was that the two were somewhat able to evenly match the members of MetsubouJinrai but he barely knew what they were in the first place. All Ritsuka knew about MetsubouJinrai was that they were a group of four, incredibly strong and special HumaGears that would regularly come after the people of this refugee camp. Not much to go on about either group.
But in the end, Ritsuka just resolved to believe that whatever cards the three have up their sleeves, it would be good. Now, he should head out and-
"Fujimaru Ritsuka. Master of Chaldea." That was all he heard before, without any warning, one of Decade's portals appeared and came over him.
Well that was not good. He'd even go as far to say that it was terrible. One second he was in the metal hall of the Shadow Border, the next he was in a beach side house, sitting opposite to an older man wearing a fisher hat.
"Uh… Hello?" Ritsuka greeted the man, not really knowing what else he should do in this situation.
"Welcome, Fujimaru Ritsuka, to the dimensional mansion." The man replied, an unnerving smile on his face.
"The what?"
"Congratulations, you're lucky to come here now that the game has been stopped," The man said, further confusing him.
"Do I even want to know what the game is?" Something told Ritsuka that he wasn't even going to get an answer from the man even though he asked.
"Let me make this short." A frown quickly replaced the smile on the man's face. "You are in grave danger."
"Tell me something I don't know." He's always been in danger ever since he stepped foot in Chaldea. And now that he had been abducted by a strange man, he was in even more danger.
"He may claim to aid you, and he eventually may play a part in saving your world, but he will bring about its end," The man cryptically warned Ritsuka. "He has already done the same to many other worlds, ever since his journey began."
"Uh… Are you talking about who I think you're talking about?" With talks about worlds and journey, it was easy for Ritsuka to figure out the subject of their conversation.
"I'm telling you this now; kill Decade. Within the world you were in, there are seven who could do it." The man instructed Ritsuka, "Only then, could both your world and Zero-One's be safe."
"Wait a minute," Ritsuka was barely keeping up with what the man was saying. "Decade? Zero-One?"
"All seven will need to unite to defeat him. Decade knows that. Help Zero-One bring his world together." The man said, not caring about Ritsuka's confusion.
"I said slow down, I don't know what you're-" Before he could finish, the familiar feeling of another of the silver walls came over him. This time, he was back at the camp, standing outside the Shadow Border and the sounds of gunfire outside echoed in the mostly empty room.
Mostly empty.
"Senpai! Watch out!" Mash's panicked voice was quickly followed by her jumping in front of him and shielding him from an attack with her… well, shield.
"Mash?! What's going on?!"
"Another Hiden Ritsuka?" A disturbingly calm voice spoke.
"Senpai, stay back." Mash told him as she readied herself for another battle, "He's too strong."
"Who-?" Peaking over the side of Mash's shield, Ritsuka saw…a purple-and-silver armored figure aiming a mechanical bow at them, "What?"
The archer who attacked them had a purple undersuit with black armor that looked cobbled together. His helmet had large, yellow eyes with black bands keeping the mask in place. Attached to his waist was a mostly black belt buckle with a purple key that had an x-ray of a scorpion inside it.
"That's Horobi," Mash named their attacker, "Please stay behind me, Senpai."
That was all Ritsuka needed to hear to get caught up. "Mash, be careful." Thanks to Kadoc, he knew what he should expect. Of course, he didn't expect Horobi to be like Decade but right now that didn't matter. He can think about that later.
RISING UTOPIA!
At least, he would have if it was not for a second black-and-yellow armored warrior to literally jump into the fray and kick Horobi, causing a large explosion that sent the purple archer flying.
Once the dust that was kicked up settled, Ritsuka could see who it was that saved him and Mash. The second armored figure had a black undersuit with similar armor to Horobi's, with some yellow to differentiate them. Additionally, his mask was mostly yellow with red eyes along with a pair of insect antennae molded in. Around the warrior's waist was an identical belt but with a yellow key in place of Horobi's purple one.
"Are you two alright?" A very familiar and concerned voice asked as he walked over to them.
"We are." Mash nodded in response, Ritsuka staring starstruck at the second warrior. Hearing his own voice, Ritsuka knew who it was that saved him.
"...Hiden?"
"Yes?" His other self replied.
A/N: Sorry for taking so long with this chapter, things came up and I wasn't able to write until last week. And the reason why this chapter's coming up 3 days after I promised in the edited note last chapter was because I had to rewrite the last three-fifths of the chapter (everything after the talk in the satellite room) and it's slightly different from my original vision for the chapter. For example, there was supposed to be a section about MetsubouJinrai but I took it out because it felt off, and you-know-who wasn't supposed to appear this early. Again, so sorry about all the delay.
So, with the actual chapter, a couple of important points was brought up. Mainly, a certain someone is dead. Will that be important? Probably. Other than that, there's the part regarding the ages of the three A.R. Masters. Obviously, I needed to change it a bit around (especially Kadoc and Ophelia) because if I made them similar ages to Ritsuka, who was a kid when Daybreak happened, then they would have to be also kids back then and that didn't make sense with what I wrote last chapter.
So, in the intervening three weeks since the last chapter, a lot of stuff happened. Lostbelt 6.2 has been released, and although I don't know much about what happens in it because I don't play JP because I don't have enough storage on my phone for both the NA and JP versions, but I do know that Fairy Knight Lancelot is awesome and Percival is a cool big bro. Oh yeah, and Oberon also hates Merlin and there is an A.R. Medb around (Yes, I know that it's not actually Medb and someone who just happened to look a lot like her, no need to tell me).
On Saber's side, we're reaching the end of the series but before that, CROSSOVER! Saber's episode was serviceable, I guess. Felt like we were back to the early days of the season and before all the serious stuff happened. I enjoyed Zenkaiger's episode more but I'm pretty sure it's because it was normal Zenkaiger stuff and I love this season of Sentai. Unfortunately, no episode for either this week because of the Olympics and not golf (well, maybe golf. Do they have golf in the Olympics? I don't know, I don't watch sports.)
As always, leave a review and all the stuff!
