I love my Black and Navy Jokers... so I do wonder about this other Joker.

Decade 7 was okay. Nice twist pulled. Still, I felt this Shinji being weird... I could understand Kido Shinji's personality better than this Shinji. Because first he doubted Ren and then defend him or something or not and I don't understand him again. But then, Abyss appeared and he attacked and threw them outta Mirror world and Ren left and fought and the others go eat at Hikari's shop and go discuss situation. Narutaki revealed himself to Natsumi and blabla and the others went to release Natsumi since another suspect (Ren) appeared. Damn... confusing. I was lazy to decipher the whole talk thing so I'll wait till subs out. Because it's that confusing. (Tsukasa seemed unhappy though... and Yuusuke felt that Ren wasn't the real suspect.)

So it's revealed that Ren was investigating the case and looking for Time Vent card and Ryuki used it to go back to the past and saved Momoi and yadayada and helped Tsukasa and defeat Abyss and hoyay! Green Blood! and Narutaki appeared and 'say hello to Paradoxa!' I think by now I should not pay attention much to the process of how the Form Rides worked to change the alter rider's forms. Because nothing good comes from it. XD Tsukasa had again surprised attacked Shinji (this time) while nudging him to cause him to change form into what seemed to be a slightly smaller form of Ryuki's original Advent monster. Yeah... since I'm used to seeing that advent monster so I'm not surprised at seeing that. It's not something totally new after all. Though thinking back... unless Tsukasa happened to have the respective riders with him, the Final Form Ride cards aren't that much usefull outside the respective rider worlds. It does felt like that, IMO. But then there's the other two cards power-ups per 9 riders that Tsukasa need to regain powers from so I think it won't affect much. Though I do felt the Form Rides were kinda a waste like that. XP

And hahaha... I wanna snicker again at Paradoxa. Heart's Royal Club group after all were very good at deceiving people so I find Kamata's personality justified. And later we'll see Blade Restaurant... whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? XP Then what about Kabuto world? The cooking theme was more appropriate for Kabuto (coughTendoucoughYagurumacough) but we'll see. It'll be interesting though. I wonder if there would be mentioning about Jacaranda or would there also be a Kotarou side character? XD And a Shiori... XD

Random Shinkenger discussion at Zeronos prompted me to thinking about the elements used in the series. So far, only Metal was left out. Because technically, Heaven is NOT an element but is related to Air which in a sense is an element though it's not the main one. (Air being derived by the combination of Water and Wood; which can be further relates to plant procucing oxygen/air through photosynthesis) Yeah... it's related to the discussion of the new Shinken members (Gold and Silver) with one kanji Hikari (Gold) was revealed to be for the new member.

I'd be looking forward for more reference of fengshui on the elements in the series because it'll be interesting. Since even if it might be coincidental, some parts in the series do seem to reflect how the samurai's reflects on what elements they're using. And I wonder if this bit of fengshui stuff would be used in the series as well:

Water nurtures -> Wood nurtures -> Fire nurtures -> Earth nurtures -> Metal nurtures -> Water
Water springs wood. Wood fuels fire. Fire becomes earth. Earth hardens into metal. Metal erodes into water.

Water weakens -> Fire weakens –> Metal weakens -> Wood weakens –> Earth weakens –> Water

Water extinguishes fire. Fire melts metal. Metal chops wood. Wood breaks apart the earth. Earth blocks water

- Not much of the first statement was observed so far in the series but of the second one, there's a bit of refs taken. Like Takeru (Fire) appearing sometimes like he couldn't stand Ryunosuke's(Water) personality or Ryunosuke's personality being a bit overbearing to Takeru. (Water extinguishing Fire). But it's only true with regards of the two so it might not matter much, the relation btw the elements and the users. XP

And these random facts about the elements in Fengshui was interesting about the color correspondence of each of the five feng shui elements: - Since aside from ShinkenPink, the other Shinken member's elements do  correspond with their color allocated.

* WOOD: Green, Brown
* FIRE: Red, Strong Yellow, Orange, Purple, Pink
* EARTH: Light Yellow. Sandy/Earthy, Light Brown
* METAL: White, Gray
* WATER: Blue, Black

Episode 4 was amusing. So now we know what was it about that RyunosukeMako pic. The episode was centered between the two mostly. And Takeru getting along better with the other four while being curious about some other stuff was amusing as well. DorkyTono hahahahaha.
