Kamen Rider BLACK 23 – The Boy & His MOTW Pet

This is cute.

In this episode, a boy ends up befriending a head of this week's MOTW. Yep, this is probably, the weirdest episode of this series. Oh, and the focus of the entire episode is about the kid and his pet.


I have nothing much to say in this episode so I will keep this review very short and sweet. The focus of the kid in this episode is really well done and I love how they show us the growing relationship between him and the MOTW's psychic head that the head is even will to sacrifice himself just to revive his friend's dead dog. That is one heck of a friendship, but sadly, reality must kick in as his body is looking for his psychic head. This is when Kotaro comes in again in this episode. Though at first he didn't like the idea of a MOTW as a kid's pet, he later accepted it after seeing that this head is different from his body.

This is when it gets all tragic, thanks to Birugenia successfully retrieving the head from the boy; Kotaro has no choice but to destroy the MOTW along with its head. The ending is quite sad, but at the end, there is still a ray of hope for the kid thanks to Katsumi and Kyoko bringing in a new dog for the kid to take care of and hopefully, this dog will last for more than one day.
