On this, the pentultimate episode of Zi-O coverage, technical difficulties arise one more time to crush the flow of discussion. Don't worry, we fixed it ten minutes later.
If these episodes had titles, "Flexing His Decade Dick" would be this week's. Honestly this is a pretty fun one overall.
This week, Zi-o's time travel shenanigans end up affecting an episode on Kiva as one of your hosts comes unstuck in time just before the show finds new ways to hit them in the heart.
This week, in lieu of our hosts pushing on with a show they can't stand, we get into some of the production history and career of Toshiki Inoue, the showrunner of Kamen Rider Kiva (and a writer/lead writer on multiple other things you've probably watched!) Tune in and begin seeing his dread shadow behind everything you love, just like the gothic horror of Kiva, but now in your everyday world!
A new tighter format leads to... no, nobody's having a good time this week on Kiva. But we're creeping closer to that halfway point! Maybe there's a midseason turn to save it? The editor has seen the show and knows, and cackles.
Our hosts rediscover joy and begin theorycrafting about what the end of a series that wrapped half a year ago can hold.
This week is a breakthrough for all three hosts as their feelings on Kiva crystallize. Hint: by the end of the episode, they're all feeling the urge to double up on Kiva with next week's show!
It all ends here! Or starts ending here, anyway, as our hosts enter the final arc of the series and a new year all in one fell swoop.
Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, allow me to introduce the nightmare form to end all nightmare forms: they've finally hit Grand Zi-O. Also Den-O came along for the ride.
