Has Kamen Rider Gaim gone full-on Footloose?! Find out behind the cut! WARNING: Major spoilers ahead!
Episode 18 – 2/16: subtitle not yet confirmed
Due to Yggdrasil’s manufactured public opinion, the Beat Riders have become extremely unwelcome, and people have proposed removing their stages to dance in the town. In order to solve this, Mai declares that the teams must stop fighting with the Invess Games, and proposes to hold a joint dance event instead. Mai goes around to each team asking for them to participate, and Team Baron’s Kaito, the origin of much of the conflict, refuses. Without Team Baron behind them, they’re unable to gain much approval. However, DJ Sagara starts advertising the event anyway, so the townspeople know about it. Due to Oren’s continued activities of exiling teams from their stages, the people of the city have started leaning towards banning dancing, making the conditions surrounding the Beat Riders quite severe. Meanwhile, Team Baron member Peco appeals to Kaito to participate in the dance event, but in the end, Kaito declares that it’s irrelevant to him, and leaves the team.
Episode 19 – 2/23: subtitle not yet confirmed
In order to gather data on the new “Genesis Driver”, Ryouma transforms into Armored Rider Duke and challenges Kouta to a battle. Kouta also uses the Lemon Lock Seed to transform into Gaim and fight back, but Ryouma’s overwhelming power leaves him at his wit’s end. Having completed his objective, Ryouma swats aside Kaito too, who had come running, and then leaves. After that, in order to search for Yggdrasil’s true goal, Kouta and Kaito plan to infiltrate a research facility. However, Mitsuzane, who fears that Kouta will find out the truth about Yuuya, decides to tell Takatora about Kouta and Kaito’s plan.
Special thanks to Kitarin for QC!

Micchy might not be a good guy after all.

Just imagine if kouta learn the truth, he will really suffering because yuuya got killed by his hand. When Hase got killed by Sid, Kouta really hopeless and depressing.
and Michy dont want to see Kouta depressing anymore.

According to everything from ep 1 to ep 16, I am pretty sure Micchy is a good guy. I’m not proving you wrong though, but I want to point out that Micchi has always cared about Kouta and the team (especially Mai. He has a crush on Mai after all). He also cared about people in the city, too, even though he told Kouta to stop fighting for them. That was actually FOR Kouta. He’s always been helping Kouta. Now he’s “turning his back” on Kouta only because of what we saw in ep 16. His older brother showed him something in the forest, and that changed it all. He then had to admit that his brother was right. My guess on this: there is a huge monster cave (maybe Invess, maybe not), and Yggdrasil is trying to build a strong armor rider army in order to fight back later on. I would also conclude that Micchi’s brother is a good guy, too. He’s said it a few times that Yggdrasil’s goal is to promote a good life or something to the people in the city. He also cared about the Beat Riders experiment rats (ep 15 or 16, I don’t remember).
Now I would also assume that Ryuoma, Cid, are both bad guys (maybe not the villains, but they are the wicked ones). DJ Sagara also seems pretty suspicious.
But well, who really knows, right? If Kouta and Mai gets closer together later on, his jealousy may take over himself and he’s gonna do some bad stuff. 😀

Who is the stupid one here? Why the hell would you want to tell someone you deem as a close friend something that will cripple him emotionally and cause him much pain? Do you even think these things through before hating on the show? Nope.
