This week on Rider Love, Dan & Faiz REALLY dissect Kamen Rider Zi-O episode 9. From Kuroto Dan to Sougo, we’re a little bit… confused where this series is going. We then pick things up with 555 episodes 35 & 36, which were refreshing and exciting by comparison! All that plus a jam packed News section and some MORE winter movie casting!   0:53 – Opening 10:43  – News 29:03 – Spoiler Train! 35:00 – Zi-O 9 1:16:17 - 555 35 & 36   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

It’s also been a big couple weeks of news, with S.H.Figuarts Kiva finally being announced, all those other Tamashii Nations toy reveals, and a Spoiler Train packed full of winter movie news!

This week on Rider Love, it’s all about Takumi Inui as we discuss Kamen Rider Zi-O episode 6, finally get to a big reveal in 555 episodes 33 & 34, address the franchise’s western fanbase, and take a peek at some upcoming armor forms and actor cameos coming to Zi-O!   1:12 – Opening 20:41  – News 41:07 – Spoiler Train! 51:30 – Zi-O 6 1:30:32 - 555 33 & 34 2:05:02 - Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

TokuSwag returns to give her first impressions of Kamen Rider Zi-O, and it’s a busy week, because we’ve got BOTH Fourze and Faiz to contend with! But FIRST, we get to those all important Q2 toy scans on the Spoiler Train, which reveal many exciting new suits and weapons! Some we appreciate, and some… could use a little work. Zi-O episode 5 really ramps up the Rider nostalgia as we journey back to 2011 with our Fourze pals. We get just the briefest of 555 teasers, which prompts us to theorize about how things will wrap up in episode 6. Needless to say we were pretty wrong, but it’s always fun to speculate. And most importantly, we get to hear which actors and characters YOU would like to see return for a Zi-O cameo in Listener Feedback. So many good shout-outs, but there are definitely a few very popular choices!   0:50 – Opening 21:45  – News 33:01 – Spoiler Train! 57:24 – Zi-O 5 1:44:59 - Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmai

The Zi-O magazine scans are lookin’ pretty hot this week! Lots of spooky Another Riders, spicy Forms, and surprising cameos in store! Zi-O episode 4 has us a bit… confused. Maybe the .5’s can clear it up for us. And 555 episodes 31 & 32 introduce us to a very dashing Orph of the week. He wears a suit, and may or may not be a gorgeous man. You decide!   0:58 – Opening 7:50  – News 19:59 – Spoiler Train! 36:49 – Zi-O 4 1:09:42 - 555 31 & 32   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

Faiz is back again, so we finally get to hear HER thoughts on these beginning stages of Zi-O. And there’s lots of fashion and delicacies to analyze for like… 30 minutes. Forgive us. Zi-O episode 3 takes us back a couple years to reunite with some pretty rad doctors/gamers. 555 episodes 29 & 30 continue to frustrate us with how terrible Kusaka is. At least we get some horsey love out of it!   0:51 – Opening 9:37  – News 41:09 – Spoiler Train! 48:11 – Zi-O 3 1:37:02 - 555 29 & 30 2:16:46 - Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

It’s becoming a tradition, as DestinyAmber joins Dan to ring in a new series with Kamen Rider Zi-O! We’ve got a fair bit of news to get through as well, including the shocking revelation of Japan’s favorite Heisei Rider series. :-O There’s so much to talk about with Zi-O episodes 1 & 2. New characters, suits, and more confusing plot that you can shake a Flintstone’s Push-Up at. Oh and we briefly throw 1.5 & 2.5 in there as well. As always, we need to find out what you thought in Listener Feedback. And boy oh boy, did you deliver.   1:00 – Opening 8:27  – News 26:41 – Spoiler Train! 32:01 – Zi-O 1 1:27:30 - Zi-O 2 2:00:35 - Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

It’s true what they say, all good things must come to an end. This week, that means Kamen Rider Build. T_T It’s time to say farewell to Sento, Banjo, Misora, and all of our pals. But Zi-O is also in full gear already, so we’ll give just the briefest of initial reactions, plus lots of spoilery news. Build 49 rounds off the series beautifully, and leaves us with so many questions about the future of this world! It wouldn’t be a finale podcast without you’re say. We’ve held the first ever annual Rider Love Awards, where we’ll present some lovely purple trophies to the characters of Build based on your votes! And we had a lot of Listener Feedback based around this final episode and the series as a whole.   1:04 – Opening 13:01  – News 19:08 – Spoiler Train! 38:10 – Build 49 1:12:58  – Rider Love Awards! 1:38:02 - Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com
