SOON.
Gorgom's plan in this episode is to destroy Earth's advancements when it comes to space exploration by having dummies of the original astronaut candidates infiltrate NASA and ruin the launch. To make things interesting, Katsumi ends up discovering this plan! Can Kotaro stop Gorgom's plan?
This episode is kinda creepy; it's creepy in a sense that the dummies are so identical to the originals that it's scary if you put the originals and the dummies side by the side. The resemblance and their personalities are the same that's why it's scary. What if Kotaro is actually fighting the real ones and not the dummies and ends up killing the originals? Thankfully, the originals are kept in some place while the dummies are walking around. As for Gorgom's plan in this episode, it has some potential, but the problem is when it comes to execution. Instead of sending these dummies a day before the launch, they send the dummies days before the launch, giving Kotaro some time to find and destroy them.
This is when Birugenia comes in, he uses this time to lure Kamen Rider out and destroy him! But hey, since this plan obviously worked, let's talk about Katsumi in this episode. Even though she ended up getting kidnapped by Gorgom, it's thanks to her that the plot for the series is starting to advance. I mean, for weeks now, we have no update about Nobuhiko's situation! Her appearance assured us that Nobuhiko is still mutating into Shadow Moon and Katsumi might play a big role once Shadow Moon comes out of his shell... or if they can manage to rescue him before that happens.
As for the rest of the episode, it's basically the attack of the dummies and it's really awesome. It's awesome because Kotaro is not fighting mind controlled humans, but dummies of real humans. It's awesome because Kotaro has every right to kick their asses but their human appearance is preventing him to finish these dummies. It didn't help that these guys can assemble with ease while the Armadillo Mutant is still alive. As for the Armadillo Mutant, he has more personality than your usual MOTW because he wants to do his job without someone interfering him. By interfering him, I mean Birugenia.
At the end, Kotaro managed to defeat the MOTW, the astronauts are now safe and the dummies are now dead. As for Katsumi, she feels that Nobuhiko is still alive and is hopeful that they can save him someday.
