Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden: Zangetsu & Baron 

What? An episode without Blue Caster? And what's this? Green and Black are not around either? How will Red and Pink hold up this episode? By inviting Silver, North, and Navy Casters! This week we talk about Drive's amazing plan to get his henshin permission back, Gou's deception by his lady client, and the amazing proper debut of Starninger, Kinji Takigawa, and all his American troupes. As most of the cast was not here, we held off on discussing the Gaiden movies and instead talked about favorite support allies. 

 

BTW we apologize if the audio has occasional bits of reverb, this one took COPIOUS amounts of editing to get it to where it is.
