Welcome back to Fuuto Pi episodic review. If you notice, I’m speeding up Fuuto Pi episodic review (3 episode left after this). So without further ado, let’s just delve into the review.
General Plot
Continuing from episode 8, the true culprit is revealed to be…….Kagamino Kiku. Yes, you read it right, The Grandma.
Kiku Kagamino revealed to be the rea culprit
Well the next thing is Kiku transformed into Alcohol Dopant while Philip and Shotaro transform into Kamen Rider W. Nice to note that Kiku is actually a High Dope herself, making her stronger than a normal Dopant.
Since Kamen Rider W can’t overpower Alcohol Dopant with Cyclone-Joker form it is finally EXTREME MEMORY TIME.
Kamen Rider W Cyclone Joker Extreme Form
Kamen Rider W transform into their strongest form: Cyclone-Joker Extreme. I never expect to finally see Cyclone-Joker Extreme anime debut but there he is.
With Bicker Charge Break and Double Extreme, Kamen Rider W easily defeat Alcohol Dopant. Well to be expected though, it is his strongest form after all.
Defeated, Kagamino Kiku reveal that she is doing all these banquet shenanigans to search for the successor of Alcohol memory. All of that for a bride that will protect Kagamino family from the shadow.
Well sadly, with her defeat Kiku and her Butler decide to set the mansion on fire. Killing herself and the butler in the process. Kuya though is saved by Kamen Rider W
Branchiosaurus, Scream and Aurora Dopant
Back to Kamen Rider Accel and Scream Dopant. The Dopant is unexpectedly stronger than what Terui originally thought.
Suddenly, Branciosaurus Dopant makes its appearance. Accompanied by Yukiji Bando who reveal himself as Aurora Dopant.
Honest Thought
This episode brings a nice conclusion to the Mansion arc.
I love the fact that they animate Cyclone-Joker Extreme and Accel Trial so well this episode. It is really a spectacle to watch.
So in this episode also, we get more information about what a “High Dope” is.
Kiku Kagamino explaining High Dope
Being a High Dope means that the human host get a superhuman abilities even in their human form. This is making their power stronger when transforming into their Dopant Form. How Strong? It is said to be stronger than the Limit of the Memory Power, which is to say pretty broken.
With that last panel of the full member of the villain though, it just doesn’t feel like Kamen Rider W will beat them all by the end of episode 12.
Conclusion
Fuuto Pi Episode conclude what i say to be the best Arc this anime adaptation has so far.
I like the pacing in which each episode of the arc has Kamen Rider fighting scene and also the full cast in action.
The Mystery conclusion and explanation of many plot points also add the exciting part of this episode. It is a solid 5/5 for this episode and overall arc.
You can also watch Fuuto Pi Episode 9 on Muse Asia. Well at least it is still there at the moment.
