For our 100th episode, we sing terribly, Sam makes me so mad it took me weeks to edit this, and I openly try to break up his marriage. Thanks for sticking with us idiots, here's to 100 more.

...It was something else that was soul-sucking enough to depress me and seriously slowdown releases up to now, but this book is still really bad.

We cover the last 6 episodes of Power Rangers RPM. Some betrayals, some revelations, some laughs, some tears. This show started good, continued good, and is ending good. For Tokusatsu, that's... honestly pretty rare. Enjoy it while it lasts.

By request of Nate Twehues on Facebook, we watch the most recent Japanese entry in the OG kaiju series, Shin Godzilla! It's a surprisingly comedic tale of destruction, right up to the point that it definitely isn't. And either way, we liked it. Like we mention on the podcast, this is apparently just freely viewable on Archive.org, specifically here:
https://archive.org/details/GodzillaResurgence
It's podcast recommended! See you next week as we reach the end of the road for RPM, assuming Sam WATCHES THE RIGHT EPISODES THIS TIME

Intro: "Heroes", by the Wallflowers. Sam insisted, it's connected to the terrible american Godzilla movie through a music video?

In Power Rangers RPM, Tenaya 7 embraces her origins, and begins to fully cooperate with the Rangers. But Venjix isn't taking this lying down, and in the chaos of General Shifter's rebellion, we reach a climax that heralds the start of the final stretch of RPM. Too bad we don't get to talk about it yet because SAM WATCHED THE WRONG FREAKING EPISODE! GJ CO-HOST!
Kamen Rider 01 coverage starts at 19:06 , if you hear some light dubstep you're in the right place.
Kamen Rider Zero One, a show that we came into with a LOT of hope and excitement, has a couple of episodes so frustrating that it forces us to once again change our podcasting schedule. 01, we're going to sit here until you figure out what the heck you're doing, and THEN we'll talk about it.
And then our hosts decide to show everyone how you REALLY start an AI rebellion, with a little help from AI dungeon.
Me being real judgey about someone who was very open and friendly! Me writing the episode summaries avoiding swearing for a podcast that is just FULL of swearing and explicit material! Me waiting way too long to actually finish and post this, real sorry! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

In Power Rangers RPM, it's time for characters to learn what we've known for quite a while. Doctor K's secret is out... and to her surprise, so is Tenaya's. We're excited to see the final arc.
Kamen Rider Zero One coverage starts at 27:00 . You can skip there, as we wish we could skip past.
Remember when I joked about "what if Zero One comes back and it's just terrible?" Yeah. Well joke's on us, because for some absolutely unfathomable reason, this show that has been leaning so hard on portraying one of its leads as a deplorable human being responsible for LITERALLY EVERYTHING, decides to try and redeem him in like 5 minutes. We're not excited for this arc, and especially not the Ark. Bad show.

In Power Rangers RPM, a "girl power" episode that demonstrates this series does pretty okay with gender, in that the women on the team have to fight the enemies on their own and... they're all competent enough that it's not too different from usual? Then a behind the scenes special, some funny bloopers and accents, but we can slide on back into...
KAMEN RIDER ZERO ONE! WE'RE FINALLY HERE! Starts at 16:50 , if you hear some light dubstep you're in the right place.
The Ark arc begins, and we don't really have the time for the villain to do a lot, so everybody just accept that he's super scary and the biggest problem ever after he wins like, two fights. Then Jack continues to be the biggest monster in the series, blatantly threatening human lives to secure profits, and we're seeing his final comeuppance as he...
...th...that isn't a face turn on the horizon is it? Zero One, please. Zero One we were forgiving so much. Don't do this Zero One.
A brand new ship tag for Ao3! Some damn fine enchiladas! Me really worrying about what's going to happen, and not happen, to Jack! There's only one podcast that can cover all that... and it's THIS!

The story concludes. Remy cooks. Chuki ascends. The Wolves gather. The fleet falls. The Endeavor survives. Eat it, Dione.

Although the ContenTornado still blows, its strength is waning. Fingers crossed, next week Kamen Rider Zero One is restarting, and with it a return to normalcy. Until then, we cover a couple of good character episodes for Gem and Gemma, but with each one getting their own ep! They're growing as individual people, not just a kooky twin murder squad! And rounding out the episode with Twenty Toku Questions, we begin... to Define Bigger.
