Journey Through The Decacast

The show begins to eat itself as our hosts visit Zi-o visiting Kiva which they're in the middle of due to Decade running into Kiva which is wild because Decade is in Zi-o and oh dear lord I've gone cross-eyed.

Down one host, our cast stumble blindly into a land of oni, parties, and diapers - we're one radish pun away from DBZ this week in Zi-O town!

This week our hosts re-meet Kamen Rider Agito, and are briefly treated to Tsukiyomi having a plot arc of her own while the villains realize that if power won't defeat the heroes, maybe raw numbers will...

This week in Kiva: rock stars.

I swear I've heard the gothic vampire turns stage presence tale somewhere before...

On a slightly briefer journey into darkness than usual, we cover the tragic tale of the luthier (yes that's a real word!) Ōmura, a Fangire with feelings. Watch our hosts begin to turn around on this show!

Our hosts shake off the rust and return to the world of Kamen Rider Blade... which neither of them have seen all of, meaning the major themes of this arc leave them lost until an antagonist spells it out near the end. Plus: so many blades!

For the final(?) summer vacation episode, Chris and Editor Fletch pick back up where we left off in Zi-O (hint: baby murder and everyone thinking major cast are dead), and for those who think the podcast needs more tangents, good news! There's an entire bonus segment for you after the tokusatsu show where your humble hosts go wild with Sailor Moon and mild Steven Universe film discussion.

On the continued summer break of our hosts, your humble editor takes over for a brief blip to talk about the confusing and wild history of US releases of tokusatsu television (barring, of course, that entire Kikaider special from a while back). Spoilers: it's basically all Super Sentai.

Also I'm an idiot and forgot to mention the rumor that the thing Garrett and I have wanted for ages is coming true (an english release of Denkou Chojin Gridman).

Shin Garrett and Editor Fletch take a trip into modern times to discuss the debut of the latest era and series in the franchise: Kamen Rider Zero-One, a tech-centric series spearheading the Reiwa era in a lot of impressive fashions.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and that's how the boys feel as they dig deeper into this gothic Rider's series, learning terrible facts from wikis and discovering maybe the series isn't about friends, you guys.

It's about whether or not that stew was made from people or dog.
