A turtle and a grasshopper. Yep.
Kotaro ends up becoming a soccer coach because the original coach started forcing kids to study hard! Well, there is nothing wrong with it but those who are under him started acting strange. Could this be yet another Gorgom plot?
This is probably, one of the weirdest Gorgom plots I have seen in this series. The plot is basically this, Gorgom will use a kid's basic instinct to treat insects and animals like toys. So yeah, Gorgom will use the kid's innate ability and love for animal cruelty and train these kids to love human cruelty. Though it sounds a bit weird at first, but this is one interesting villain plot. It's interesting in a sense that they are trying to instill thoughts of loving human cruelty in a very early age. Once they grow older, they will become more vicious, which will lead up to the destruction of mankind with their own hands.
So how did Kotaro got involved in this mess? Simple, one of the kids witnessed the human cruelty class in action and ended up telling it to Kotaro and how a turtle might be the cause of this mess. Kotaro finally figured out what's happening after he did some investigation, which leads us to his first fight with the MOTW. The fight between the two is kinda interesting as the MOTW uses its shell as part of its defense. To put it simply, BLACK is having a hard time to defeat it. This fight is then interrupted because of a guy who noticed the noise coming from the fight.
The next day, it is time to execute to test if the curriculum is working with Kotaro as the crash test dummy. To be honest, I was entertained with the scene wherein Kotaro is getting beaten up by kids. I mean seriously, it is rare for Kamen Rider these days to feature plots involving mind-controlled kids fighting the hero of the show! Thankfully, this kind of cruelty stopped thanks to MOTW revealing itself in front of Kotaro.
The second round of their fight is fun to watch. Kotaro tries to do the same tactics while at the same time, trying to figure out how to beat this turtle. Thankfully, the writers remembered that BLACK's Multi-Eyes can help with the analysis of the enemies BLACK face. Now that he knows the MOTW's weakness, he defeats it and the kids who are mind-controlled by the MOTW are now freed. To end this episode review, if there is one problem I have this episode are the kids. Seriously, they act like bricks, they are too stiff and that they don't act natural enough that I am not convinced in one scene where one of the kids is asking for help!
