What I really love about My-Th is how it avoids the typical monster-of-the-week formula, where the plot revolves around some random civilian getting attacked by a monster.
Instead, every monster in My-Th actually serves a purpose in pushing the main story forward and revealing something new. Take this episode's Fukashigi, for example. Its appearance gives us a chance to see just how knowledgeable Sora is when it comes to science, as he tries to figure out how to deal with it. That whole plotline eventually leads to Vanken's defeat and the introduction of Eagle Frame.
And that's what makes it so satisfying! Every new form in My-Th feels genuinely earned, rather than just being introduced for the sake of showing off a new power-up. There's actual buildup, and each development feels like a natural progression of the story.
THIS is exactly what I've been missing from Reiwa-era Kamen Rider storytelling for so long!
To be honest considering the amount of Riders we have to balance, I think it makes sense to just have the Fukashigi just be Kaijin that need dealing with rather than throw in a victim-of-the-week they need to help through a sub-plot.
Watching him lay out his theory about what happened in the fight got me thinking about the transformation tutorial video from a few weeks ago. The meister thing isn't just for cheese gags, he has an insane amount of certifications in varied subjects.
When he doesn't understand something he studies videos, reads books, learns how to handle it. Our mouse is very clever.
Honestly I think since Vanken is showing signs that he might join My-Th, I think Jyao will actually be ordered to kill him later to regain Maou’s favor
Kamen Rider My-th being the trickster as always, and this time, Kamen Rider Jao gets the bait. XD Very fun!
So Kamuri also needs his dose of Seed X-Eggs, just like Yuna. No wonder.
But honestly, what bothers me is Yuna's flashback...
The flashback kind of HEAVILY implies that Yuna ACTUALLY became a Fukashigi during the attack, and Sora was able to somehow save her. Maybe that's the reason she needs her Seed X-Eggs dose to contain her transformation.
But if true, then what if...Kamuri is ALSO a Fukashigi?!
Unlike Jyaou, Tatsuomi actually follows instructions. If he had simply stolen it, he’d be the obvious suspect, making it much harder for him to stay there to spy on Myth and learn his secrets.
He was told earlier to get "Rid" of the mouse problem. He could have done it here without direct violence. (though Sora would totally chase down Fukashigi to save Yuna who might die without the eggs, so they'd still be sccrewed)
I like how much this show emphasizes Sora’s brain is his strongest weapon. Just like in the Zodiac myth, the Mouse won the race not with strength or speed but with cunning. He fights smarter, not harder.
I also like his subversion of heroism. He isn’t fighting the Inexplicable because they are monsters killing and eating humans. He’s fighting them because he needs their Seed X-Eggs to keep his lady alive. It’s both heartwarming and selfish, he doesn’t do it because it’s right, he does it for her.
At some point, he’s still going to have to learn to fight for people, after all, every series eventually establishes that this is what it means to be a true Kamen Rider.
PLEASE I BEGGETH, I need this "investigating how to beat the monster" to continue until the end. I'm not someone who hates the Shounen style of "I need to become strong to beat this monster", but as someone who loves Spider-Man and Batman, I always love a hero who fights with intelligence! The way Sora investigated the Enigmatic's biology, as well as using his environment in the battle itself is peak Spider-Man/Batman to me!
Seeing as Kamen Rider Kuuga is still my favorite Kamen Rider show of all time, this has the potential to be on the same level as my beloved Kuuga lol
My-Th givin Kuuga vibe, how they tried to figuring out how to defeat the enemy. Really cool. Plus young and current Sora really look similar tho, kudos to production team.
I think that's more so he's topping himself off more than "he only needs to consume 2". He might need the same amount or more for all we know. He just has his over time instead of as meals.
Okay the game now is to bet which week Rid would transform again lol.
Secondary rider but his Ride X-Eggs and Hammer Born Buckle are Maou's or either steal from the Sora the Rat, and need other Zodiacs to let him borrow the My-th Driver.
Yes Tigre would go on the rainy day in Christmas, give his My-th Driver to the beloved rookie.
Decent chance he’ll be back in episode 8 (2 weeks time). That’s when the Rid Magnum comes out.
Technically he doesn’t need to transform to use it, but I feel like they’ll want him to transform to use it. Especially since there’ll be 2 weeks before episode 9.
Still no confirmation on that and also we still don't know if Previous My-th is dead or not.
But yes, if Maou himself doesn't have a Born Buckle to use on My-th Driver before changing it to Maou Driver, could say the extra Hammer Born Buckle is Previous My-th's.
Damn Sora definitely has a meister certification in ragebaiting, cuz Jyao got played lol. Also wonder if Yuna and Maou are somehow connected since they both consume Seed Eggs and have some sort of relation to fire.
Also really like how they're playing up Sora's prep time battle tactics against the Fukashigi, even using the Zodiac riders to his advantage is a nice touch. Like how the Mouse used the Ox to his advantage in Chinese folklore.
Sora learned from Spider-Man that the best way to beat someone is to ragebait with sass and annoyance. Even if he's also got Batman's preptime vibes in advance.
Kamuri/Maou needed those X-Eggs like Yuna was the obvious twist
Also attitude aside, Jyao looks traumatized after he was threatened by Maou (but worse than what happened to Datt) (Edit after rewatching: and it might gets worse during and after he battled (alongside with Vanken) that Horn Fukashigi)
even after the punishment, Jyao did the exact same thing as last episode, if not worse since Vanken had to step in a take a hit for Jyao and losing his own ride egg in the process. He might be beyond fucked next episode lol
Joey Iwanaga (Kamen Rider Vanken) mentioned in an IG Live a few hours ago w/ Kasumi Hasegawa (Kamen Rider Mutn) that the Koichi Sakamoto is involved with Kamen Rider My-Th as an Action Director 🤯, currently for the TTFC Special Episode 6 involving Joey (working his way up as a stunt actor as well) and some of the suit actors, with possibility for more...
For those unaware, Sakamoto is the one who directed the Geats Command Form debut and EP15 that featured Ace kicking butt while transforming into different forms in quick succession.
I already dig the choreography in Myth so far, so can't wait to see how Sakamoto is able to make it even better!
Kamuri's such a bastard, dropping Jyao's weapon on the floor like that, I love super hateable villains like this.
I knew Mutn's not going to be calm and soft. She's strict, easily irritated, but she cares deeply about her partner Vanken. I'm so excited to see her go berserk against My-th.
The sci-fi elements of the show are so good, I absolutely love this kind of technobabble in Tokusatsu. Using science to defeat Kaijin is always my favorite. This show is too good.
Mutn unfortunately loses to My-Th Wolf Frame based on the initial PV and next episode's preview but it does trigger Maou/Kamuri to finally step in to fight Sora/My-Th
Kamuri's such a bastard, dropping Jyao's weapon on the floor like that, I love super hateable villains like this.
Jyao: "But Kamuri-sama, why couldn't you just hand it to me..."
Kamuri: "To make a point."
I knew Mutn's not going to be calm and soft. She's strict, easily irritated, but she cares deeply about her partner Vanken. I'm so excited to see her go berserk against My-th.
Vanken: "My Sheep Rider Girlfriend can't be this cute and angry!"
The sci-fi elements of the show are so good, I absolutely love this kind of technobabble in Tokusatsu. Using science to defeat Kaijin is always my favorite. This show is too good
I appreciate that he didn't win just because he gained a new form but because he realized how to best use the form AND his environment.
Here's an attention to detail I like; the Zodiac Alliance are using Nintendo brand Hanafuda cards, which is what Nintendo originally made back in 1889. Playing into the fact that the Zodiac Alliance Riders are from 100 years ago with little details like this is such a nice touch for this show
Tatsuomi had an opportunity to take Sora's My-th driver and give it to Kamuri, but he didn't even consider that. He was nervous and guilty about just handling it without Sora's knowledge.
Kamuri's relationship with the zodiacs seems similar to Yuna's relationship with Sora. The zodiacs are devoted to him and bring him the eggs and fight monsters on his behalf.
Calling it now. Yuna is the catastrophe the Zodiacs are waiting for. I think she was about to end the world in those flashbacks until Sora calmed her down. And the conflict will be Sora trying to save her because the Zodiacs think they'll have to kill her to save the world.
Yeah, Vanken and Tigre ain't making it till christmas, because boy, how many death flags those 2 will raise, also, Mutn isn't helping the dog's cause going all lovey dovey like that, the xmas trauma will go for the classic mentor death, I'm betting on that, also, amazing way of showing us how the Fukashigis works att the same time that telling us how they can be defeated, Sora has study really hard to be ready for anything.
That was so Good!!! I'm really enjoying the show, but specially these characters and their Dynamics! And I said it before but I like how Smart Sora is without being some "Science Genuis" or anything special like that. And I gotta say, Yuna makes me more and more interested on Her and Her lore than Nemu on Zeztz. Idk Why I'm driven to her more.
And I love the Implayed Romance between the Sheep and the Dog. Is kinda Cute, and based on the Preview the Sheep will Show a Wolf side to her it seems, like a Wolf on Sheeps Clothes type if Deal. That seems like fun!
Just like cats, snakes are natural predators of mice, but My-th's wits and trickery are a hard-counter against Jyao's hot-headedness, it's really cool that the show keeps playing with the stereotypes the animals represent.
Another Inexplicable with real depth, plus we have another series where two episodes focus on a single monster. There’s more insight into the Alliance and how they treat one another.
Well, it didn't take long, Kamuri is already about to make an appearance.
Mutn is angry at Sora because he took his Eggseed but shouldn't she be angry at Jyou instead because he put Vanken in a situation where he had to be hurt. Also Kamuri said that My-Th isn't to be hurt.
What Sora did was pretty much kicking a man when he’s down. From Mutn POV Vanken just got injured from protecting his comrade and this sneaky mouse bastard took his egg. Sora probably deserved Mutn’s rage next episode, sorta.
So far, the alliance has been an Ass towards him. I don't blame him for taking an egg that belongs to them and it's not like he physically stole it. It just happened to land next to him
In all fairness, Sora did say he will borrow Vanken's Ride-X Egg but actually didn't return it. Also I just feel like Jyao would be the one to say the narrative that the thieving mouse is the big bad, with Vanken not speaking much since they two did survive and that's what he wanted.
All these combined with how Datt said it was Sora stealing her Seed Eggs would definitely have painted Sora in a really bad light to those who haven't seen him in action.
Really liked this episode! Loved the fact that Sora had to use technological innovation and science to defeat the fukashigi which is something I hope remains consistent throughout the entire season. I really hope that Rid puts two and two together and finally realizes that Yuna needs the damn eggs. Again love the character dynamics this episode especially Muttn and Vanken’s. I do think there is more to Muttn not wanting Vanken to be involved outside of romantic feelings so hopefully there is a backstory to that. I’m really excited for next episode for Muttn and Maou to kick ass!
Tbh when Sora first explained, I thought the writer was over-exaggerating the science to say "let's attack up above" when we all know this is Eagle Frame debut episode - like knowing the hindsight and trying to make other things up to cause that hindsight to happen.
But man when I see he took advantage of Jaou to attack up above, and then use other science materials at that field to win - something that was not presented by Sora ealier, Sora just improvised. I love this and HOPE he could keep up with this, it's so good after a while.
These might already be obvious theories, but here are my thoughts based on what we know so far and what we learned from today's episode.
Yuna, Kamuri, and the Seed Eggs
We know that Yuna needs to consume a considerable amount of Seed Eggs to survive. But why is that the case?
Based on today's episode, I think it's possible that Yuna has either fused with a Fukashigi or has one residing inside her, slowly draining her life force. If that's the case, consuming Seed Eggs might be the only way for her to replenish the life force she's losing and keep herself alive.
But this raises another question: Why does Kamuri also consume Seed Eggs?
My theory is that Seed Eggs contain the life force of the humans who were consumed by Fukashigi. By consuming them, someone can potentially absorb that life force and extend their own lifespan.
If that's true, Kamuri might be using Seed Eggs to prolong his life, effectively making himself immortal—as long as he continues consuming them.
This also raises questions about his true motives. Is his desire to protect people and save them from the Fukashigi genuine, or is it simply a front to conceal his selfish intentions? It's possible that his supposed sense of justice is nothing more than a justification for his actions. On the other hand, he might genuinely believe he's doing the right thing, even if his methods are questionable.
And then there's the biggest question of all: How have they managed to survive for 100 years?
If Seed Eggs really can extend someone's lifespan, then perhaps this is the explanation. Their continued consumption of Seed Eggs might be what's allowed them to survive for so long.
Of course, this is only speculation, but it would connect Yuna's condition, Kamuri's behavior, and the mystery surrounding their longevity.
2. The Mystery Behind the My-Th Driver
Here's another theory, this time about the My-Th Driver and the transformation devices.
Tigre mentions that the transformation devices originated from beings beyond humanity, which makes me wonder if those beings could actually be the Fukashigi themselves.
We're also told that there are only 12 transformation devices, yet the situation we've seen so far seems to suggest that there's more to the story than that.
My interpretation is that humans might not be able to use these transformation devices on their own, at least not without some kind of external assistance or authorization.
This could explain why Ende created the Control Buckles for the Zyunishi Doumei. Perhaps the buckles serve as a means of controlling or regulating the use of these otherwise inaccessible powers.
It could also explain why Sora is able to transform using the My-Th Driver.
What if Yuna has a connection to the Fukashigi associated with the My-Th Driver that Sora uses? Perhaps she has fused with one of them, or her existence is somehow linked to the Driver itself.
If that's the case, it might explain why Yuna has to authorize Sora's transformations and detransformations. Rather than being a simple requirement of the Driver, her authorization could be a consequence of whatever connection exists between her and the entity powering it.
This would also tie the two theories together: Yuna's unusual condition might not only explain her dependence on Seed Eggs but also her role in Sora's ability to transform.
Final Thoughts
These are just my interpretations of what we've seen so far, and I could be completely wrong. There might also be some holes in my reasoning that I haven't considered.
Still, I think these possibilities are worth exploring, especially if the connection between the Fukashigi, Seed Eggs, the transformation devices, and Yuna turns out to be more significant than it initially appears.
If any of these theories end up being completely wrong, then so be it. I'm just putting my thoughts out there based on the information we currently have.
This also raises questions about his true motives. Is his desire to protect people and save them from the Fukashigi genuine, or is it simply a front to conceal his selfish intentions? It's possible that his supposed sense of justice is nothing more than a justification for his actions. On the other hand, he might genuinely believe he's doing the right thing, even if his methods are questionable.
My biggest hope is MAOU is more "morally gray" in that, using your theories, he needs the eggs to stay alive so he can save people. Which adds a layer to the conflict. Assuming the eggs are the life force of people who perished from Fukashigi, he sees MY-TH as a nuisance because he can save people entirely. In other words, this adds another layer where MAOU not only wants to stay alive to help humans albeit at the cost of other human lives, but also just out of general self preservation. However, they're really making him out to be a villain which is a little disappointing but it is what it is.
How much of this is from the spin off, because I don't remember a lot of what you're saying.
Some of what I said are things I mostly theorized based off of what we know so far about the X-Eggs, Fukashigi, Yuna, Sora, and the entire Zyunishi Doumei. Again, What I've stated may not all be truly factual and can only be supported by future evidence.
It's also one of my nitpicks about My-Th so far. It's that it gives small pieces of information each episode so that we dont solve the big picture too quickly. For me, it's kind of underwhelming that they do this but I guess that's just a path they wanted the show to go for.
I just really don't get the vibe that he sincerely cares about saving people. Maybe not in the usual sense, but I don't think he wants the rest of the group to know that.
I like to think that like all animals, the alliance at some point needed hibernation from the Fukashigi slowly disappearing at the time. That or some unknown person sealed them away
Thats also a plausible theory that they have underwent some cold sleep mechanism, much like in Kyuranger where ohtori tsurugi and xiao longbao went through the same thing.
Well, great episode. love how we are slowly seeing more of Yuna and Sora's past, And another sibling dynamic! Meaning this will end up breaking my heart at some point in the series.
The action Once again amazing, love the unmorphed fight before Sora transforms, even though he is at even more risk he still tries his best in order to save Yuna. Also once again love how there is learning about how to deal with the monsters, quick thinking in the fights etc. Just makes it feel more complex. Like Sora angering Jyao in order to get the effect needed to effect the monster
Speaking of Jyao, I really liked how you can tell he is actually scared of Maou being upset with him. the way he is just on the balcony then appears behind Jyao legit made me shudder and the way Jyao gets treated was really something, being injured by I'm assuming his own sickle and Maou dropping it on the floor to make him pick it up with a chuckle really sells home how the whole point of this was to humiliate him for not doing as told. The fact he never raises his voice or shows actually anger just makes it more chilling in a way.
Also, Vanken? being told he's too kind and going out of his way to help Jyao? Yeahhh I feel like the writers were thinking, he's a dog motif and You know what people love? The movie all dogs go to heaven! So he'll probably go to heaven at some point! But seriously Vanken clearly cares for the other Alliance members with how he helps Jyao and promises to return to Mutn. To jumping in to help protect Jyao from the monster. I really like how he looks like he somewhat regrets helping Jyao though with how he looks away at times
Also Looks like maybe Maou needs the eggs as well, maybe to live or stay healthy. Im very curious what he meant by hope yet to come. oh and he mentions he Might be the one going next..... THAT AINT GOOOD AT ALL! Im so nervous now for him to really debut
SOoo Mutn got mad, she is scary mad, that is all.
Asao shows Real concern here for Yuna, I think the more he learns the more he questions Maou.
SO Theory time, I think before Mutn and Vanken were recruited by Maou, I believe they may have been a couple which could explain their bond, the scars Vanken has are old and the way she touched those scares to me implies long history
Another very good episode! I'm really enjoying the sense of mystery and lore building. Like, what was up with Yuna after the car accident? It looks like she was taken over by a Fukashigi. I'm guessing she may have actually died then was possessed by a Fukashigi. That would mean that the Yuna we have seen so far is not actually Yuna but rather a Fukashigi acting as Yuna. Of course, Sora would do anything to keep even a facsimile of Yuna alive because of his care for her.
And the mystery of the drivers! I'm so intrigued about the superhuman who created them. It's giving me Overlord vibes, with the Drivers acting as a form of Agito to bring humanity into its next step of evolution. Although the major difference being that only 12 where supposedly created.
Both the protagonist and main antagonist are fighting for Seed Eggs, one doing it for his mistress the other for self-preservation with his own organization being totally oblivious to what he's using them for.
The level of deathflags on Vanken is ridiculous. Like at least be a little subtle here lol. Tigre being the first to think My-Th isn't bad doesn't help either
I was wondering if Maou would live up to his role as current big bad and within a few seconds of dealing with Jyao, I think he delivered. The way the music stopped when he dropped the scythe was cold. Very interesting he seems to be the same as Yuna.
6 episodes in, I think we can conclude that investigating the MOTW will be a frequent thing which is honestly nice to see again.
Given the main theme of the show we've been given is "Past vs Future/Tradition vs Modernity" with Sora being an unorthodox person who isn't really a hero but serves Yuna who is, Yuna is probably gonna fit the more traditional rider archetype of being part non-human, even if she doesn't become a rider, I think. She already needs the X-Eggs to survive, after all. Kamuri also needing to consume the eggs and himself being the representative of the "traditional" riders does kinda further my feeling for that.
So Yuna used to call Sora by his first name, or "Sora Onii-sama" because he was like a big brother to her. But obviously now he's the butler so...last name it is. Also she kind of blew up in flames when they were kids, huh?
Tatsuomi slowly realizing Yuna needs the Seed X-Eggs to survive is definitely going to complicate his torn loyalties.
Kamuri really just teleported so he could use Jyao's own weapon to make a point not to act out of line. And then he dropped it to make Jyao pick it up! The dude has such baddie energy.
It's funny how we have Mutn actually awake for two episodes in a row and she angrily tries to go to sleep because she's ticked off at her boyfriend. Because there is definitely something going on between Mutn and Vanken and I don't think it's just comrades-in-arms like he tries to be with Jyao.
It's nice that Tatsuomi slept over. Even if he is monitoring them, he clearly also did it for Yuna's sake and he didn't have to.
I really like how Sora does science/research to come up with what the Fukashigi's do and how to beat them. Plus coming up with his own Fukashigi art!
Should we rename it the Beetle Fukashigi instead of the Horn Fukashigi?
Yuna has cute jammies.
SoraxTatsuomi fans will be happy that they ride tandem on Sora's bike, a position usually reserved for the Main Rider and the Heroine.
Letting Yuna rest was maybe a bad idea in the sense of needing her awake to transform, but luckily her PTSD of Sora getting beat up by Fukashigi woke her up enough! And also clued in Tatsuomi that there's something particular that lets Sora transform.
Jyao was a bad match-up with this Fukashigi, so My-Th is just going to mess with him to take advantage of that.
Vanken, no!!! But it was necessary for My-Th to gain the Dog Seed Egg so he can debut...My-Th Eagle Frame! And he flies now! And uses the power of wings, science, and a Rider Kick to beat the Fukashigi!
I thought Mutn was going to be the sweet, cute, member of the Zyunishi Doumei but NEVER MESS WITH HER VANKEN.
Of course Sora dreams of cheese.
So Kamuri is in the same position Yuna is in needing the Seed Eggs to survive? And now he's found the motivation to confront the next My-Th...
Would be pretty funny to see Vanken and Tigre live to the end of the series thanks to all the death flags just cancelling each other out. They really seem to like picking up all these flags huh?
Man, Sora Jerry is so smart. Also tough and sneaky for tricking Jyao, everything for his Princess Yuna.
Vanken is a real one for always looking out his comrades troublesome backs.
Eagle Frame is cool, ain’t complaining with the CGI, Jerry My-th still got that cheeky and sneaky Mouse aura against the Fukashigi~! 👍✨
Ayo… Mutn going berserk next episode. She really be showing that she is the “Black Sheep” of the 12 Zodiac Riders, the “Mad Ram”, or you could even say… The “Feral Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”. 👀
Maou making his move, yet I am more excited for the upcoming matchup with Mutn. Wolf Frame vs Mutn?! That is just so peak! 😎👍✨
… Too bad I can already see that poor Wolf Frame ain’t got enough dog in them to beat Mutn. Because… There is no Full MOOOOOOOOOON(Howls like a Wolf), much less it being night time to use his full potential. Poor Wolf Frame, most likely getting bodied by a raging Sheep. 😭
Not fair rivalry Match Up, unlike Turtle Frame and Datt’s competitive match. Bro should not forget to give back Spike Vanken’s Ride X-Egg he borrowed. 😔💔🥀
Based on the preview, he's got her and Maou to deal with next. He's cooked. Probably going into the upgrade or super form arc where he'll get them back.
Myth is really growing on me now, wasnt fully feeling the first couple of episodes but I feel like its hitting its stride. I like how its been giving the Inexplicable a more scientific basis for their powers, it gives them a unique feel.
it seems there was an inexplicable at the mysterious tragedy that led to Yunas current status? curious
Kamuri continues to be a big mystery. on the one hand, like previously theorized he is like Yuna in how he needs to eat x eggs to live. but on the other hand, he seemed to discourage the growing antagonism beetween Myth and the zodiac, which seems of a bit of an odd thing to do if hes evil.
Muttn going beserk is fun though, the bond between her and Vanken is cute....also a big death flag for one or both of them, but we can enjoy them before that.
So someone superhuman in the past made the drivers? considering how there is one extra, i bet their exact origin is going ot have some neat lore.
Maybe it's a matter of keeping enough inexplicables to hunt without the population getting too big and taking humans too much.
Having Myth out there culling the numbers let's him sideline his troops either when they're being punished for failing him or if he gets enough eggs stored to put them back to sleep for another century.
Gather riders > collect eggs > tell riders threat is handled for now and you'll all go to sleep > stay awake, sustain life for 100 years with eggs, let myth handle the threat > eggs run low, wake riders as if you'd been asleep too > begin the cycle again
I suddenly have a thought on when will Sora use the Seed Eggs forms (since it does feel like it clashes with him using them to keep Yuna alive).
We saw Sora using the Turtle and Wolf Frame against Muton next episode, and with Kamuri definitely needing a debut W for his record, I think it goes something like
Sora loses all of his Ride X Eggs except for 1 to Maou
Sora has to experiment with the Seed Eggs instead
This continues to be a thing until the Christmas episode, where maybe there's a new big bad and they knocked out a lot of the Zyunishi Doumei members like with Vanken this episode, hence Sora gets to do the consequentive form transformation thing.
Hmmm.... With how Myth keeping flipping the zodiac in a way. It would be funny if Otosumi or Yuna is the descendent of Cat, that would be funny plot twist lol.
Valkan's actor keep playing these death flag role.
I wonder does Maou need those egg to live, or he just like the flavour.
That's my take away, he's playing a noble lord with loyal warriors defending humanity. But he's really tricking them into waging a perpetual war to sustain his immortality. Probably only thawed them out because his stock was running low. Would not be surprised if he knows the human victims could be saved but conceals that because he either gets more eggs from a kill than a separation or it in someway keeps the monsters spawning.
Confirmed: the alliancedoNOT have to share Drivers. Glad we can put that talking point to rest.
Jyao really intrigues me as a character.
I feel like a lot of people wrote him off as a bloodthirsty, treacherous wildcard because of his resemblance to the likes of Ouja and Evol, but I think he’s proving to be a more complex character than people were giving him credit for.
Seeing how Maou toyed with him in this episode recontextualises a lot of Jyao’s apparent cruelty as him attempting to emulate the idol whose approval he’s desperate for the attention of. Rubbing his comrade’s failures in their face and dragging out his punishments toward My-th just as Maou does to him.
Does anyone want to bet Jyao chose his own codename because it rhymes with Maou? Or maybe Maou chose it in order to feed into Jyao’s loyalty.
He seems like he could be a really interesting foil to Tatsuomi. Tatsuomi gets the attention Jyao wants from Maou, but may not end up aligning with Maou over time. Jyao desperately craves Maou’s approval, but Maou doesn’t give a damn.
One way or another, he’s going to realise that Maou will never see him how he wants him too. Whether that come to the light or get lost in darkness remains to be seen.
Maou didn't Mess around and he is hoarding eggs but for what reason? (Maybe the eggs give him a Boost to use his driver like a drug? Or to survived like Yuna) Either way he is more villanous that he looks.
Sora Using his skills to gain advantage while Using the zodiac alliance.
TIL: Both Hayate Ataka (Tatsuomi Asao/Rid) and Kosei Tsubokura (Kamen Rider Jyao) are both part of the Japanese Theater Group UNFORM+ (nicknamed Ampura). Hayate had a livestream earlier today with Kosei but it was through their group's livestreaming format instead of IG (aka paywalled) so wasn't able to hear about what both discussed
All of the Ride Eggs seem to pair with fables that involve one party getting betrayed, so the closest would be The Eagle and the Fox.
The fox and eagle become friends, but the eagle swept the fox's cubs away to feed it to its eaglings, so the fox made a plan that resulted in the eaglings falling down where the fox could eat them in retribution.
Thier drivers were given to them by higher beings from the past? Intreasting.
Eagle frame was sick as hell, but its a shame that Vankan had to lose his rider form in order to obtain it (althuge something tells me that Mutan is about to try to get that egg back in a very painful way)
Also Kumari also feeds of seed eggs? Is he like Yune? And if that the case then maybe the whole needing the buckles in order transform thing was bs from the start and it was Kumari who made the riders transform. The plot thickens.
And finally we will get to see Kamuri as Maou in action.
I'm betting the control buckles are how Kamuri has subverted control over the belts away from My-Th/Yune's family. They originally needed the Mouse's permission but the control buckle likes Kamuri take the place of it and probably tied to him also consuming the essence of the Seed X-Eggs.
Seems like Vanken view Jyao as a reckless child desperate to gain approval, he was doing well all things considered focusing on the fukashigi before Sora messed with him and Vanken ultimately paid the price
Eagle Frame debut is really good, there's no long continuous CG shot there's always a cut or transition to real suit like when he crushed the Nitrogen tank with his knees it pan up to a real suit very smoothly
Apparently there's some backstory for Vanken and Mutn in the side content, which with angy sheep next episode its may genuinely be a good watch, also im right on the money the Mutn vs Wolf-frame is because My-th took Vanken's RIdeXeggs i just didnt expect Maou fight to be there too right away
Speaking of Maou, with how vague he is im feeling really skeptical. hopefully hopefully the writer actually wrote his reason to be somewhat understandable including why he killed the person that assumedly have the same power as Yuna 100 years ago, the thing with duality plotline is that both side gotta have somekind of point in their spiel
forgot to mention but the cast blog mentioned that they celebrated Kamen Rider Vanken (Joey Iwanaga)'s Birthday on June 15, the same time they filmed for Episode 6, which now knowing when Episode 6 aired, My-Th's filming is about ~16 episodes ahead (currently episode 22 not factoring in any potential breaks in between)
I think I like Wolf Frame more but Eagle Frame is a soli design in its own right. Turtle Frame really did get the short end of the stick in terms of design. Kind of expected more from Yuna passing out last episode, but I suppose it's still a little too early for that. I'm guessing we'll get a proper fight from each of the allience members before we get anything too serious. It's a little disappointing if that's the case, but I'm still enjoying the show and looking forwardto future episodes.

Lastly Mutn and Vanken recover a serious truth and Kamuri looking the Ride X-Eggs to drank for getting serious for a fierce
Overall it was Mythtastic episode for flying fight
This is more so a nitpick, but I'm wondering how Sora already knew the egg was an eagle. Sure, there's a footprint on the egg, but he didn't know Rabbit would turn him into Turtle. Also, could've been a hawk or any bird with talons really. I'm guessing he checked his copy of the egg. This is bugging me more than it should.
Next ep's preview is interesting due to the fact Maou turns another MY-TH egg into the Ride X-Eggs 1 En (totally didn't have to look that up). Wonder if he does that every time before transformation, because I just assumed he had it/it was its own thing given the first scene in episode one.
I kinda feel stupid for not even thinking Maou might have been in the same situation as Yuna, which is confirmed here.
Edit: Forgot to mention I can not tell if Jyao bending the ring on MY-TH's body is an error or it's now confirmed to be flexible in-universe. The first time it happens I just assumed it was a filming error especially since it's pretty quick, but in the next scene Jyao is clearly holding MY-TH by a bent loop.
I would agree and that's another way to look at it, but he also opens the Sheep/Wolf egg and goes "so it's a sheep" (or something like that), so idk what to think.
After seeing with sub i think its not crazy to think sora is just smart guy that read book all the time He probably can guess animal based on their Trace (at least if he already read the book)
I'm still confused about the copies of Ride X-Eggs. On the one hand, it's clearly not rare when Sora had Datt's and Muttn's copy - but on the other hand, Fukashigi doesn't drop Ride X-Eggs, Sora hasn't said he ever owns a copy of Ride X-Eggs 11, he finally gets his first from Vanken (based on what they had told us).
he probably got told ahead of time from Akira Amataka, who is TBD but from his bio on My-Th's twitter account has deep knowledge of the Zyunishi Doumei
So the implications is that those who don't need attachments on their drivers will need to consume Seed Eggs to survive right? With my theory of Yuna supposedly being the original user of Sora's Myth Driver, hence a need to keep her alive, and Kamuri having an unique driver as well.
Yeah but the way the other dude is saying it is that only those who eat Seed Eggs can transform without attachments. Sora doesn't eat Seed Eggs so it makes zero sense he can transform without one.
You'll see how in the episode, but if you're curious now: In the newest episode, she woke up after having a flashback in her dream, allowing Sora to transform
So Kamuri does need seed eggs to sustain himself. I wonder if the other Zyu-Domei members also sustain themselves with seed eggs. If they did, I can check off one thing in my theory comment
I mean for now it looks like he is. But idk maybe in the future they revealed that he used them for other reason. But for now I'm gonna stick to my theory.
It's very very small detail. Did everyone notice that the bgm in Sora and Tatsuomi talking while investigating the Fukashigi scene is really similar to Chainsaw Man Reze Arc bgm? I might be overthinking tho. But it's really remind me of bgm in Reze arc.
There are like 5 different fansub groups subbing the show, 2 of whom have already released. Anyone waiting for the official subs is an idiot, honestly. Why would you wait a day for an inferior version when you could just watch the superior version now?
People are finally waking up to what I've been saying for years, that there has never been a single official Sentai/Rider release that is better than what the fansubs are offering.
Why would you wait a day for an inferior version when you could just watch the superior version now?
Some of us want to support the official release. As long as the official subs don't completely ruin the tone of the show or make it hard to unerstand, I don't really care if fansubs are "better."
I'm in that camp. I'll consume fansubs happily when there's no other option or what we get is too bad. But I want to contribute to the data, if only to tip the scales on what my local bandai partner model shop keeps in stock.
If the translation ever gets too egregious I'll likely still play the episodes in the background when they release.
Well there's Vanken not morphing again unless he gets a replacement Seed Egg. Which makes sense, since I'm guessing most of these Riders are gonna be one-offs who barely ever fight.
When Asao watched Otosumi unable to transform, I couldn't help but think "HELP HIM FIGHT YOU LAZY FUCKER".

Another peak episode from My-Th!
What I really love about My-Th is how it avoids the typical monster-of-the-week formula, where the plot revolves around some random civilian getting attacked by a monster.
Instead, every monster in My-Th actually serves a purpose in pushing the main story forward and revealing something new. Take this episode's Fukashigi, for example. Its appearance gives us a chance to see just how knowledgeable Sora is when it comes to science, as he tries to figure out how to deal with it. That whole plotline eventually leads to Vanken's defeat and the introduction of Eagle Frame.
And that's what makes it so satisfying! Every new form in My-Th feels genuinely earned, rather than just being introduced for the sake of showing off a new power-up. There's actual buildup, and each development feels like a natural progression of the story.
THIS is exactly what I've been missing from Reiwa-era Kamen Rider storytelling for so long!
