WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799 Coven Raider Zed's episode 27 proves that the 00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:06.700 goat can be goated. You can gild the lily, and 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.640 maybe you should, because if something's great, 00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:11.119 if something's good, you can make it great. If 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:12.199 something's great, you can make it excellent. 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.640 If something's excellent, you can make it, I 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.759 don't even know what, outstanding, beyond belief. 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.800 The arrival of Coven Raider Dawn, and the Nightmare 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.969 Rider, and the, and Sieg. and all his antics, 00:00:27.010 --> 00:00:31.170 is making this good show better. And I like that. 00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:33.210 It makes me a little bit uncomfortable. I don't 00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:36.289 know how Takahashi is this good of a writer. 00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:38.429 But I'm not going to talk about that. I'm going 00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:40.469 to talk about specifically how Sieg is making 00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:42.689 the show so much better. And agree with me or 00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:45.229 disagree with me, let me know. I can tell you 00:00:45.229 --> 00:00:47.170 if you're wrong or not. It's okay. Everybody's 00:00:47.170 --> 00:00:49.549 been wrong in the past. I liked the first few 00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:51.409 episodes of Kamen Rider Gaim, and look how wrong 00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:56.789 I turned out to be. So. So there's three things 00:00:56.789 --> 00:01:00.090 that I see that are making, or that prove my 00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.670 claim that Sieg is this great way, Dawn is this 00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.810 great way to make this great show better. So 00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:06.530 first of all, the show was great already. We 00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:08.390 know this. If you've been watching it, you know. 00:01:08.549 --> 00:01:10.489 If you just started episode like 25 and you got 00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:11.750 the recap and everything, you know it's been 00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:18.430 great. So we're moving on from that. The biggest 00:01:18.430 --> 00:01:19.870 thing, or not the biggest thing, but the first 00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:22.629 thing that I noticed is Sieg is in this crazy 00:01:22.629 --> 00:01:25.760 other world, whatever Sieg's... realm is. Let's 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.540 call it the Sieg warehouse. So Sieg's in his 00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:33.540 warehouse with all these nightmares, and he's 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:38.420 got them all caged up, and he shoots them down 00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:40.260 from their cages, two of them, Shadow and Darkness, 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.239 and has them fight against each other. No, not 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.760 Shadow and Darkness. Wolf, Big Bad Wolf, and 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.579 Shadow or Darkness, whatever it's called. I don't 00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:50.340 know. They don't say the names. This isn't Power 00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:54.340 Rangers. There's no looking at the viewing globe 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:55.780 and seeing what these guys are called. Anyway, 00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.180 also no Ultraman where they have it on the screen. 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.920 Anyway, tangent, sorry. But he's in this crazy, 00:02:01.939 --> 00:02:04.680 weird place, this nightmare shadow warehouse 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.280 thing, a nightmare warehouse, and he has these 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.560 shadows fight for his entertainment. He lets 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.639 one of them go, and the other one he tortures, 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.389 he changes, he modifies, and... We don't really 00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:22.729 know what's going on with that until later on 00:02:22.729 --> 00:02:26.289 in the episode, which I'll get back to. It ties 00:02:26.289 --> 00:02:29.389 into the other great thing he's doing. Besides 00:02:29.389 --> 00:02:32.229 just being another enemy threat and a third faction 00:02:32.229 --> 00:02:34.909 for Code to worry about, for the Lady to worry 00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:36.449 about, and for Baku to worry about, so maybe 00:02:36.449 --> 00:02:41.250 a fourth faction, he's just, aside from being 00:02:41.250 --> 00:02:43.909 this big threat, that's mixing things up. He's 00:02:43.909 --> 00:02:45.610 also just changing things and making it more 00:02:45.610 --> 00:02:47.750 interesting, more dynamic. So we have this, you 00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:50.710 know, what is Sieg's world? What is going on 00:02:50.710 --> 00:02:55.889 there? Two, he's going into, he's infiltrating 00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:59.810 somehow Baku's dream. Not Baku. I don't know 00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:01.349 whose dream he's infiltrating. Nox is having 00:03:01.349 --> 00:03:03.509 a dream or nightmare or whatever. Baku goes into 00:03:03.509 --> 00:03:06.050 it. It's the one with him facing his darkness, 00:03:06.069 --> 00:03:09.110 the shadow, whatever, that fear. And Baku tries 00:03:09.110 --> 00:03:12.490 to infiltrate. Or, Baku successfully infiltrates 00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:16.110 that dream, but he tries to confront Nox and 00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:20.229 recruit him, but Sieg steps in the way, and somehow 00:03:20.229 --> 00:03:22.110 he's able to enter the dream as well, which isn't 00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:24.129 that novel, I guess, because we saw that five 00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:26.849 and six were able to infiltrate whatever dream, 00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:28.310 I guess, was that Baku's dream? I'm not sure. 00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:32.530 But Sieg infiltrated, and he's powerful enough, 00:03:32.650 --> 00:03:34.430 which this is important, that he was able to 00:03:34.430 --> 00:03:37.810 stop Plasma. Somehow he got his sword to be a 00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.710 lightning rod and pulled... Plasma away from 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:46.569 doing the finishing attack on the Darkness Nightmare. 00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:50.030 But then Sieg proceeded to attack and destroy 00:03:50.030 --> 00:03:53.189 the Darkness Nightmare with a Kourider kick. 00:03:53.349 --> 00:03:59.469 Very Ryuki -like. Which ended in the Iron Maiden 00:03:59.469 --> 00:04:01.669 killing the Nightmare and releasing this butterfly. 00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:08.379 And then, the third thing... So he can exist 00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:10.879 or walk through this nightmare realm. Then he 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.159 can infiltrate other people's dreams on his own, 00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:15.340 and he can control that however, which is great. 00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:17.160 How does anybody else do it? I don't know. They 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.779 just do. And then third is he's able to transform 00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:25.680 the dream because the nightmare, the wolf nightmare 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.259 that had lost in the fight in the cage match, 00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:31.540 whatever, the illegal fighting ring thing earlier 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:35.110 in the episode, which is a cool tone too. very 00:04:35.110 --> 00:04:36.449 fresh very interesting very different from what 00:04:36.449 --> 00:04:39.069 we've seen so far in the show he uh like stabs 00:04:39.069 --> 00:04:40.730 him and we see something go on his face and we 00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:42.490 don't know what that's about and then he pops 00:04:42.490 --> 00:04:44.889 up here at the end of the episode where uh this 00:04:44.889 --> 00:04:46.970 is clearly going to be a two -parter where he 00:04:46.970 --> 00:04:50.050 says like like let's cut all this subconscious 00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:54.670 crap and let's just do a cool gang siege or uh 00:04:54.670 --> 00:04:57.829 i don't know like a gang war uh dream or nightmare 00:04:57.829 --> 00:05:01.730 and now the big bad wolf uh it has this weird 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:06.100 mask cybernetic thing on his face and he is a 00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:10.439 gang leader i guess and now nox or odaka and 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.620 nem and baku are in this dream together this 00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:18.720 nightmare together that sea is somehow made so 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.639 we've seen that the nightmares can touch reality 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.600 and alter the dreamscape we've seen that zets 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.730 and uh Other people like Knox are able to do 00:05:29.730 --> 00:05:32.350 the same thing. I don't remember if we actually 00:05:32.350 --> 00:05:35.069 saw, I guess we did see agents five and six doing 00:05:35.069 --> 00:05:38.709 it when they're in the premonition, but we've 00:05:38.709 --> 00:05:40.370 never seen somebody come in and totally change 00:05:40.370 --> 00:05:44.170 the dream like 100%. But Sieg can rewrite the 00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:46.230 dreams, which is interesting, or it seems like 00:05:46.230 --> 00:05:48.009 he's rewriting the dreams and he's changing the 00:05:48.009 --> 00:05:50.430 scenario at will. So he's able to infiltrate 00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:52.870 into other people's dreams and then alter them 00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:56.589 and change them against their will. which is 00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:58.389 super interesting. I guess technically maybe 00:05:58.389 --> 00:05:59.790 that could have been done before, but we didn't 00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:03.129 know about that. And there's a very interesting 00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:06.230 explosion or expansion of the world building 00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:08.269 and of the lore going on. And it's all being 00:06:08.269 --> 00:06:10.009 delivered in this very entertaining, cool package 00:06:10.009 --> 00:06:12.629 with Sieg, Comrade Don doing all his crazy stuff. 00:06:12.889 --> 00:06:15.889 So that's it. What do you think? Do you think 00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:18.089 that he's making this great show even greater? 00:06:18.329 --> 00:06:20.529 And do you agree that these three things are 00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:22.529 the ways that he's doing it? Are there more ways 00:06:22.529 --> 00:06:26.649 or am I totally wrong on this? Let me know. uh, 00:06:26.649 --> 00:06:28.730 comment and, uh, let me know what you think about 00:06:28.730 --> 00:06:32.290 this. Uh, and also check the pin comment where 00:06:32.290 --> 00:06:34.870 you can, uh, dive deeper or you can see the playlist, 00:06:34.889 --> 00:06:37.269 but also more importantly, you can dive deeper 00:06:37.269 --> 00:06:39.389 into this episode with the inspector's notes, 00:06:39.470 --> 00:06:41.870 where I will be going into other things, bonus 00:06:41.870 --> 00:06:43.850 material, extra insights that didn't fit into 00:06:43.850 --> 00:06:47.170 this analysis of commoners. That's episode 27. 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:49.110 So until next time, folks take care. This is 00:06:49.110 --> 00:06:52.170 MJ with writer tears and henshin inspection signing 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:52.370 out.
