So here we are for another week of Drive talk much later than normal.  This is later mostly because I have been a lazy bum the past few days and sat down and did this.  Anyway let's get started with this episode five of Kamen Rider Drive "What are the steely thieves after?".  One note before we get into the show proper is that we get the usual movie themed openings starting this week.  Movie War Full Throttle looks great from the previews and I personally can't wait to read about what happens and then wait six months to see it fully.  The show starts with a truck driver attacked by the Crush Roidmude with his two minions 060 and 074. Drive mangers to arrive in time to interrupt the attack although he has no gifts for our would be thieves.  He makes quick work of the goon ... Read more »

          With the culprit known and a entire episode to catch him how will Drive and crew wrap up this case.  Let's take a look at episode four "What Does The Proud Hunter Want?".  We kick off with Chase and Drive getting into a bit of scuffle.  Drive is mostly playing defense to protect Kiriko from stray fire.  He does open up a opportunity to retreat for now thanks to the Tridoron. Paint sees the battle to its conclusion and says everything is coming up good for him.  Back at the Pit Tomari, Kiriko, and Buckle review the case before Kiriko pesters Tomari over not fighting back.  Buckle tells her he was protecting her in the fight and then calls someone to see if Drive's new weapon will be ready.  Paint is attending a get together of Roidmude individuals and is being chewed out for not keeping things ...

          The first case has been solved but the threat of the Roidmudes still remains.  The S.C.U. still have a long way to go before the Roidmudes are gone but what awaits them this week.  Let's kick things off with episode three of Kamen Rider Drive "Who took her smile?".  We find out from two students that two of their female classmates were taken during a Slowdown event by a monster.  Otta decides to bring in team after hearing this from the boys.  Back at the station we see Tomari being lazy before Kiriko drops by to chew him out for this since he is a Kamen Rider.  They find out about the case Otta was on and begin to head out. The Shift Car Dream Vegas drops by to say hi which surprises Kiriko.

          So what awaits us after the debut episode of Kamen Rider Drive.  Let's hop right into it with episode two "What is a Kamen Rider?".  We start off with a flashback to when Buckle was still human.  The Roidmudes attack his house and apparently he can't die while "they" are still out there.  Buckle comes out of that flashback saying that he still has his demons even though he is a belt. We find out from Kiriko that Tomari is being lazy again because he is still having trouble moving forward.  We find Tomari in the cafeteria of the police station eating his candy before Kiriko and Justice Hunter, another Shift Car, find him and run him down so they can have a talk.  We cut to Heat picking up a ride to meet a friend of his.  Back with Tomari we find out what we already know abou ...
