As far as I'm concerned, the important thing about these episodes is... Date backstory!! I mean, yes, there was all the stuff about Date's former colleague, and how she wanted to be pretty like her sister, and how the lesson is that about real beauty and being yourself, yada yada yada... I think it's fair to say that I have a lot more to say when the underlying theme is about how justice is subjective or the like than this, because... well, there's not much to say, right? Anyway, apparently Date was in some kind of Doctors Without Borders, and he was called The Fighting Doctor (so, not exactly Doctors Without Borders, probably). So, yes, I got it wrong, did not expect this, and I found it pretty interesting actually, that he used to dedicate his life to helping others while now his motives appear to be more selfish. Of course, by now the real reason he wants that money has probably been revealed, but at this point it hasn't, so there you go. Also interesting is how at the end Gotou asks him if it's okay to just let go of his former colleague like that, since she appeared to be into him, and he says rather matter of factly that has his hands full right now.

Right. Been busy again, yada yada. But it doesn't feel right to just skip through, so I'll go off my notes for the episodes I watched (yes, I take notes while watching Kamen Rider, and yes, I realize what this says about me) but didn't get around to blogging about. Episodes 21-22 explore whether the desire to fight for justice can become twisted. The Yummy is born from a man who never passed the exam to become a lawyer, and was frustrated because he felt like a failure, and so he left his family. The Yummy initially targets criminals, and so the man accepts the Yummy as a way to punish those he perceives as wicked. From there, the show obviously moves to questioning whether this is really justice, and how self-righteousness twists a person's sense of justice so they become cruel themselves.

Still playing catchup. These obviously deal with a whole more than just Date, but I'm really interested in him, so that's what this post will be about mostly. E…

In which Date and Gotou's epic bromance begins, and Satonaka is total badass.

If Kamen Rider OOO's episode 15 was about advancing the plot, episode 16 is about both that and also about advancing the mythology and the ideas behind the story.

Date Akira, huh?
Now THAT's what I like to see in my Kamen Rider. And I need to watch OOO faster. :D; (Via Silverwind)
