KAMEN RIDER KUUGA EPISODE 17 SERIES
Because until today Kuuga has not had a Narrator! Nope, right here smack at the start of episode 17 of the series Kuuga has decided that it is time to introduce one. No dear readers I have not been remiss in not mentioning a Narrator until today. The Tiger Grongi is still on the scene though and after tossing aside a dead cop he sets his sights on Godai, slowly stalking towards him as the Narrator cuts in and wait what? Well, at least they can all die safe in the knowledge that Ichijo will have gotten all his files in on time. Well, I mean it’s not like by the time Godai gets there he’s just going to drive up on a road literally strewn with corpses or anything, right? Considering Ichijo is shockingly effective in proving a distraction to Grongi despite his being just an ordinary human this seems like a rather bizarre prioritization. Again, he explicitly got done explaining to Godai that police are dying and then addendum-ed that he really had to get all those documents filed.

Yup, Ichijo is putting paperwork ahead of all the ongoing casualties. Though then Ichijo kind of drops the ball. Man, I’m tentatively hyped! Heck, they come back immediately from the opening to have Ichijo radio Godai to let him know that the Grongi is already on the attack and that there’s been a number of casualties. She leads him off to a side street where he shifts to his Grongi form (it’s a Tiger, which you’ll not guess unless you look it up in extra media like a lot of the Grongi forms) and says something in Grongi that the Rose Woman helpfully translates as being 72 kills in 6 hours as the stakes for his murdering time, which is a pretty aggressive body count! She gives him his bracelets and the horn ring to the belt key click, and he is ready to head out and get to murdering before we’re even to the opening credits. The ambient sound then cuts out as we are introduced to our villain of the week! Oh, is that spoiler territory? It kind of feels like it since this episode actually gets off to a pretty engaging start! It’s just a regular day in the city, people doing like they do with the walking around and ignoring the Rose Woman who’s sitting off the street doing her nails, until a newspaper blows in on her foot showing that the 24th Grongi has been defeated. Welcome dear readers, as we go through the looking glass with today’s recap of the recap episode of Kamen Rider Kuuga.
