Kamen Rider Saber 1x08 "The Sealed Arthur." reaction & review

Hey Alex!!! Thanks so much for the info! I've already watched 9 at this point but I'd still love to see it! I've heard of Genmcorp, I think they do get things out a bit faster than TV Nihon, although I do love TV Nihon lol. Ohhhh shoot, already filmed ep 9 so I skipped the preview! Oh well! Thanks for all the info!! :D

Hey Melissa! Just letting you know that they've released a little minisode for Saber which is the first of a miniseries called "Swordsmen Chronicles". This episode can be seen as episode 8.5 as it takes place between 8 and 9. I highly recommend you watch it as it gives some great backstory and it's only about 9 minutes long 😊. Each episode will focus on two different swordsmen. I don't think tv-nihon have it yet but I just watched it on genmcorp.cc (that's the sub group I normally watch Saber with). Oh and you can watch the next time preview too as it only tells you when the next episode of the miniseries will be 😊

Alex Cross

Ohhhhh.........well, that is interesting when you put it that way.....!!! Hmmm!!! :O

Melissa Moore

Northern Base is a place that human doesn't know of, yet Sophia let in a girl that she just met, whom the swordsmen refused to let in since episode 2. You know what I'm thinking?

No worries, hope you enjoyed my reaction! Hope school is going okay! I think you were right about that, I'd expect nothing less from the King of Parenting! Good question about the mom, wonder if they'll ever go into that. He was a literal Saber and it was amazing!!! Oh you know what, I can totally see the resemblance to the Watermelon Lockseed!! Maybe that was another reference to Gaim, along with the cameos we had haha. Got it, thanks for clearing that up about the photo! LOL!!! Friendship is magic <3 Omg Fourze!!!!!!! My first Rider series!! <3333 Hmm, I'll have to go back and look at the book to try and figure out the color! Lol yes Mei-chan and I share a name! ^_^ Enjoy the rest of your week!!

Sorry it took this long for me to comment on this episode. School's been busy, and I'm taking advantage of the first free time I've had since Thursday. Sora is back. Huh, so was I actually right when I thought Ogami (Buster) was spending some family time with him? You said that Sora was raised very well, and while Buster is indeed the king of parenting, I wonder what in the world happened to the mom. I love that Saber becomes a literal Saber for the giant King Arthur. Speaking of it being a giant, does that not remind you of Gaim's Watermelon Lockseed function? Love that. Fitting when there were 2 actors who played riders from Gaim, especially Bravo who Gaim had fought the first time he used the Watermelon Lockseed. The other person in the photo at the end along with Calibur and Sophie is the previous Saber that we saw in the first episode, aka Touma's predecessor. The "Power of Friendship!" part you said... I just laughed so much. Remember Fourze? Oh, that was a treat. About the book Slash carried in this episode, what color do you think that is? I honestly still can't tell. Mei-chan huh... huh. Just noticed that, and wow am I blind for only noticing this now. Oh well. That's all I got at the moment. I now await your response Mei.

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I hear you about Ogami, it was likely that he wouldn't be dead or stay stone, especially since it's not even Christmas yet! :P That's interesting about episode 0, maybe Zero One and Saber are in the same world then?! :O We will probably find out more in the team up movie! The cameos were awesome, I haven't seen the new Gaim stuff but have heard it's great! Thanks for the info on Saiyu Journey!! King Excalibur was awesome!!! It will be really interesting to see if they do that with any of the other Riders on the show lol! Oh I did miss the Hanselnuts and Gretel thing, I can't even imagine how they'll do Hansel and Gretel on this show but I can't wait to see! Ohhhh that was former Saber in the photo?! Wouldn't that be crazy if he was Calibur?!?! :O Guess we'll see! I had heard that a week was skipped, good news is that means I'll be current, so look for this week's ep to come out next Friday before the new one airs, woohoo! LOL I would die if there was a Decade Wonder RideBook! Thanks for all the info!

Melissa Moore

I couldn’t agree more! One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a toku series, and that’s saying something!!!!

Melissa Moore

Hahahahah tough choice for sure but man, being Mecha Arthur’s Saber has gotta be my final choice!!!! 😂 It would be like a theme park thrill ride on overdrive!!!!

Melissa Moore

Oh sweet! Good to know!

Melissa Moore

Hahahah same!!!! What a random but so welcome surprise! And the finisher....it just blew my mind! I still can’t get over it!!!! 🙀

Melissa Moore

The King of Arthur finisher was insane!!!

Manny

GUN TO YOUR HEAD: Having Decade's Final Form Ride used on you, or being used as the saber for a mech? xD

Senpai

If my information is correct, we'll see Oren and Jonouchi again in the next episode

Aro

Hey! Another one great reaction! This episode has a lot of things to talk about. For someone who watch the preview, we already known that Ogami will turned into stone in this episode, so we have split into two group of two theories. Is he dead? or not? Well, I was the later one, I believe he won't died since it was too soon. It's not even December yet by the time this episode was aired, so there's no way Ogami case will be a Christmas Dead. And I was more sure when I watched the episode and saw Ogami suddenly turned into stone with no proper built up. So, I watch the episode with a strongly belief that he won't died. And it's true! And that's cameo from Gaim! I'm glad you notice them! Oren Pierre Alfonzo and Jounouchi, aka Bravo and Gridon, has returned! I didn't watch the new Gaim Gaiden, but I pretty sure that those costume were also from the new Gaiden one. well... they kinda like coming here just to promote their gaiden. I don't know if the world of Saber and Gaim connect? But there is also a theory that the world of Saber and Zero-One might connected, or even the same one. Because before the series aired, there is episode 0 where Touma (with his early style bookstore) thinking about Zero-One stories up until when he got his Zero-Two upgrade. And they even met once. But we still don't know the truth. Anyway, there will be a split winter movies this year of Zero-One and Saber aired in the same period. It's look like they were separated apart, but then, will they met each other? Next, the book Calibur used today, the "Saiyu Journey", it is a reference on the famous Chinese literature "Journey to the West", the story is about the monk Sanzo, and his guardian journey to the west. The main character is the monkey fighter named Sun Wukong the Monkey King, and he has stretchable baton, that's why Carlibur can stretched his sword. The King Arthur mecha is also awesome! It is called the KingExcarlibur. It is a giant sword that's is able to transform into a giant mecha and turn Kamen Rider Saber himself into his sword. "The Saber in your hand~". Well, now we wonder that what will happen if the other used (or being used) the King Arthur. The most curious one will be Buster and Kenzan, what will they look like if they used by Arthur lol. There is a book that was hold by Daishinji at the end of the episode. In case you missed the title, it is the "Hanselnuts to Gretel" which meaning "Hanselnuts and Gretel". Well, it pretty obvious what the reference is. What do you think it will look like? And the last of today, the very last scene of the episode where some mysterious one, who we assume that he is Calibur, holding a picture. In the picture, there is Fukamiya Hayato who we believed he is Calibur until the previous episode. Sophia, and the previous Saber. He was once appear in the first episode holding Kaenken Rekka in front of the younger Touma. What could those information lead us to. I definitely don't know, because this episode is the farthest episode I watched. The last week was skipped since there is the sport competition in Japan. And we will finally continue to watch Saber next episode this Sunday! But if you are in USA, that would be Saturday evening 7 PM. But it is RAW live, so we might don't understand what they speaking. So, you better watch them after they are subbed. Well, se you next time. Fun Fact: Saiyu Journey was the reddish brown Wonder RideBook. What could that lead us to? Also, Hanselnuts to Gretel was Magenta Pink one. Is it belong to Decade? LOL Wonder RideBook: - King of Arthur: The Legendary Story Wonder RideBook with no element presented. It's absolutely base on the tale of King Arthur. It summon a new massive sword KingExcalibur. "A certain knight king swings down the sword of poetic justice." "Kingexcalibur is transformed from a sword! The huge swordsman wakes up! King of Arthur!"
