REVIEW Kamen Rider Ex-Aid ep: 9 [So not cyborgs eh]

    Some questions answered, even more brought up. This episode seems to be continuing some of the major questions as well. Such as what even is the bad guys plan? Or what's really going on with Emu? This also sets up some major teamwork arc coming up with all the hero riders. Like most odd episode of Kamen Rider recently this is mostly set up to their two week arcs.

     We start the episode with the head honcho of the CR division coming in and checking up on stuff. We are then informed that this man was also the same man who preformed the surgery that saved Emu's life. Boss guy however is intercepted by Graphite and is infected with the bugster virus, which Emu takes harshly. He then vows to return the favor and save the man's life, feeling it is his duty. Genm however shows up with a new Gashat, a finished version of the one that Graphite stole. However it still needs some field data, so Emu decides to just take it. For the rest of the episode we get the usual bickering and fighting big enemies that the show has got nailed down. With Brave wanting to get revenge against Graphite, and Snipe coming in and being a dick, eventually Emu collects the data for the new Gashat. However the power is too much for him and he loses control.

     Like last time i have little to no complaints. Again this is a solid episode. While I am a little disappointed that they are not cyborgs, I do hope the wording was an intentional nod to the past. While it is good so far, I do have some worry. I hope that it doesn't fall into a rinse lather repeat situation for its formula. While yes the formula is good so far, it might get stale quick.

     But in the meantime I want to talk about the new suit. While yes it keeps up the more outrageous color scheme of the suits, I must say it is more subtle in how it goes about it. With a black base, using the neon color as accents. However I can't say that I am a fan of how bulky this power up is. Though that may be a non-argument as the parts with go to all the main four riders. It is however, I feel,  a good addition to the arsenal of the riders.
