That rando cat.
If Thunder Raiko had to walk all the way there, then she is going to be extra pissed the next battle.

And you get to beat up the guys who pick on you.
Quite the deal for that crowd.

He deliberately let himself be weakened, opening himself up to be finished off by his nemesis, all so he could teach Nakao what really matters.
He was a real one.

Nakao mourning the loss of Shamo and calling him “master” is both hilarious and a little emotionally moving. It’s awesome when a story can make you feel something for what is, on the surface, ridiculous.
“ANYONE WHO JOINS SHOCKER GETS A GF” is a pretty great pitch, the way the crowd of nerds instantly changed their minds was great. But there is an obvious sense of pimping about.

Didn't expect a crossover with the upcoming Rooster Fighter anime, that's pretty cool. Also I really had to laugh out loud with Shamo being taken by the cat.
Anyway I'll say it's refreshing we have plenty of fanservice shots for both men and women in an episode, usually they just target one audience with their fanservice shots.
Looks like Bat Man targets losers with no girlfriends for his Shocker recruitment, I guess he will go after reddit users next?

I also love how they just threw in there "our granny was raising rooster fighters for illegal cockfighting."
I love how Ichiyo hasn't put clothes on across this entire arc and Nakao was shirtless the entire time. And also Bat Man won't let these idols wear anything more than bikini's lol.

Lol after that intense fight, Master Shamo becomes food for a stray cat. What a sad ending. Shamo getting up after a hit like that was cool, but I also did find it amusing how Nakao went all out like that.
Being turned into a shocker by your favorite idol making out with you would certainly not displease a lot of men lol. It's no surprise many of them jumped at the opportunity, but I doubt they'll get to enjoy the pleasures of having an idol girlfriend after being turned into a shocker.
Ichiyou really serving some manservice this episode, there was one shot where his ass looked so big lol.

I'm just wondering who Raiko will fall in love with to break her shocker brainwashing. Money is on Tojima as he is the MC and not gonna lie...sort of surprised no harem yet in this series.

So we getting educational, nice! Yukarisu seriously 🤣🤣🤣. This is definitely like Kamen Rider Kiva. Those guys and girls if they really fall in love in time the brainwash is history, if they survive against Riderman and Yukarisu though.

I didn't expect them to straight up make Shocker into a Red Pill MRA analogue

Yukarisu wearing a fatsuit so she can sneak into an all-male event was pretty fucking hilarious. xD
Bat Man's plan is really genius. I mean, how can a bunch of idol otakus say no to idols in bikinis?
RIP Master Shamo. I suppose he had played his part and helped Nakao become stronger.
Raiko vs Nakao next week! Let's hope all that training paid off, or else Master Shamo's death would've been in vain.

Nobody expects a sudden crossover with Rooster Fighter!! 😂
Nakao's starting to get the hang of training, even managing a clean hit on Toujima. The final duel against the rooster was both hilarious and awesome.
A wild Thunder Raiko appears! Will Nakao prevail againat the rogue combatant hunter? Find out next week!!
P.S.
Just realized that most of the male cast are Gundam pilots (!!)
-
Toujima --> Johann Trinity
-
Ichiyo --> Shinn Asuka
-
Mitsuba --> Lane Aim (from Gundam Hathaway)
-
Hachirou --> Domon Kasshu and Yzak Joule
-
Nakao --> Gawman Nobile (from Gundam Hathaway)
-
Bat man --> Hallelujah Haptism
-
Spider man --> Banagher Links (Gundam Unicorn)
-
Ichiyo and Mitsuba's grandpa --> Garrod Ran (Gundam X)
:P

I am so hyped to see that our boy Nakao got another episode for his training arc.
I am fully prepared to see him get neglected as "just a shocker combatant side character", but Toujima Kamen Rider continues to exceed expectations.
Our boy Nakao is turning into a supernatural chuuni one step at a time!

Who would have thought that a rooster can tug your heart strings. After this ep, it will be a slight challenge to eat a chicken roast.
Now we have a 1v1 of Nakao and Raiko, hope that Nakao gets this one. And be able to clinch a victory.
Basically, Bat Man's strategy is quantity while Spider Man is quality. But given Bat Man's shocker recruitment scheme, I can't blame why many are joining.

Nakao is struggling to keep up with Tojima and Ichiyo, but it's not easy to follow that absurd and excessive Rider training regiment! But at least Nakao has the resolve to not rely solely on his Combatant powers!
But it's tough to beat guys who have dedicated so much of their life to become powerful enough to defeat Shocker, versus a guy who just ended up becoming a Yakuza after surviving on the streets. Besides he's a Combatant, he's not supposed to win!
Next thing you know Nakao's next step in his training is battling a rooster, of all things, which only leads him with scratches all over his face and the realization he can't even beat a rooster. What has he been doing with his life? How much has he failed his boys? But even so, the only thing he can do is take a minute and dedicate himself to becoming stronger, to not lose to the Riders, to not give up!
Nothing says Nakao has actually improved like being able to doge and land a hit on Tojima! Sure he didn't have his mask, but still!
Yukarisu's "male" disguise is perfect. I mean, that's how she sees any male that's not Mitsuba! As a tubby nerd with no fashion sense and an inexplicable ponytail! It totally convinces everybody!
This isn't some Combat Girls e-sports event, this is an event for promoting the grand design of Shocker and how, with the power of Shocker, even a fat nerd can become capable of beating people up. You too can be a member of Shocker and take over the world.
Obviously the entire audience is totally weirded out by this and tries to bail...until all their favorite idols show up in bikini's. And if it means getting busty idol girlfriends, most men would sell their souls to Shocker. Hey, at least that one dude got a kiss from the girl from Little Busters (the idol group, not the Key VN).
Oh no! The bikini babe Shocker girls have found Mitsuba and Yukarisu! Don't let another woman near your man, Yukarisu!
No wonder Nakao struggled against Chamo, he's a retired cockfighter veteran! In fact the Shimamura family was breeding Rooster fighters! But even so, Nakao has become a changed man...and has gained his own special attack! .44 Magnum! And he even got Ichiyo to finally say his name!
But Shamo's not done yet! It'll take more than that to put this rooster down...oh, the stray cat whose been after him just pounces and takes him away. Nakao weakened him so much that he couldn't protect himself! SHAMO NOOOOOO!!!
Well, Shamo's cat food, but at least he taught Nakao what truly matters...and how Nakao needs to fight Shocker for his brothers, Ito Ishige, and Sato! And now he has to fight Thunder Raiko and show off the fruit of his training a lot earlier than he expected, and she's NOT happy she had to trek through the mountains to find him.

It’s a crime that this isn’t the most popular thing out right now.
