Nyarko 06 - Video Game War Core

Finally, Rider nods are back in full force. And some more recent stuff at that. Those flashes of red, yellow and green when Nyarko transformed this time can only mean OOO (Tatoba!), and Mahiro's mom used Accel's catchphrase when knocking down the Xoth's drones. Though Kamen Rider Nyarko didn't get to do that much, which she was visibly annoyed by. Great stuff.

And as predicted, the majestic anticlimax all had to do with video games. (Gives new meaning to Red Ring of Death, doesn't it?) The economics of the game market were pretty spot on. Given the low sales of the Xbox in Japan, this was probably meant to parallel that. Nyarko's distraction tactic in the fight was another great gag. There's a pun I want to make on Cuko and queen(ing), but it's hard to find the right way to phrase it.

It's been three weeks or so getting here, and it was worth it. A nice conclusion to the console war, a new character and some fanservice on the side. Tamao even got screentime! Now, if Nyarko is OOO, then the question must be asked: Who's Kougami?
