dear god she is a female jirayia.

This recruitment felt too abrupt. And Shinichi and Warren's conversation felt disjointed. And the fact Shinichi simply accepted Warren's explanations felt pretty OOC.

Don't even know how to describe what I'm feeling. To say having Shiori sleep with Garoh was in incredibly bad taste is an understatement.

This thing of god-like people playing with the characters is killing what enjoyment I have reading this fanfic.

This conflict between Shinichi and NUMBERS continues to feel kind of lame. Their grudge with Shinichi feels pretty contradictory and them they go and join his incredibly easily.

You know there's a pretty big logical hole with your presentation of NUMBERS. If NUMBERS wants to kill BLACK 13 because he killed them, why do they not want to kill Dr. Gebok since he ordered it? Maybe you explain this later, but I'm thinking you don't.

Ooooh boy, this one was tough for me. I did enjoy the action but I didn't like the way Warren, Lucy, and Rachel were pushing the others around.

I do acknowledge that Shinichi needs to learn that he's not always in charge and Daichi was also getting on my nerves with how he was picking on Shinichi but...I guess it's more the fact that Warren and his family can just do whatever they want and nobody can get away with calling them out on it. I can't stand authority figures who give off the impression of a bully. Hopefully I can warm up to them but part of me fears I'll never agree with their methods, even if its for the right reasons.

The action was still good though and it was cool seeing some Kamen Rider cameos. My friend Seanzilla also does them so I'm a little more familiar than I used to be.

Now let's see how Shinichi's life will be now that he's an official member of A.R.M.O.R.

Thanks for clearing that up for me regarding Shiori. She's a strong woman.

So we get a nice little tour of A.R.M.O.R. and introduced to more of the stuff. Naruto and Shinji, huh? While I don't really think highly of them as character, especially since Naruto ended up being Ninja Jesus, I won't deny those kids both had crappy childhoods and its good to see them getting better lives.

Figures A.R.M.O.R. hasn't made a move against GIN-SHOCKER unless they did something probably multiversal but it was nice to see Smith reassure Shinichi that the organization IS going down without a doubt.

And we're introduced to some of the more dangerous criminals locked up. I'm sure we all know who Uncle J is. Geez for him of all people to be there.

But now there's a threat that's actually got Smith worried. Guess we're about to see threats that A.R.M.O.R. has to step in to fight. I'm definitely curious to see what kind of threat that could be.

Well this was a nice breather episode
Shinichi gets a new home and two technicap additions to his family.

Warren Smith is omnipresent. Aw geez. I...am still trying to get used to that guy. Even though I know he was testing Shinichi out for A.R.M.O.R., he can off as a bit of a jerk and I was hoping to see him get a bit of comeuppance to it. Him being a godlike entity makes that VERY difficult to pull off. Ugh, don't even get me started on Haruhi. I CAN'T stand her. But i digress.

So he's training the NEO-NUMBERS too huh? Sure he's handing them their butts but I am convinced that under his training they will be a very deadly force. A sore one but deadly nonetheless.

I loved how Shiori was so accepting and excited at how Shinichi had become a part of A.R.M.O.R. and how she originally put out by their title until she learned it was a really cool acronym. But she is a writer, an erotic-romance one, but still a writer so I'm not too surprised at how acccepting she was.

Elfen Lied? Oh boy. I think I remember you mentioning that you were using that in your story but I had forgotten. I only saw parts of the series but I just couldn't get into it. But at least Warren gave this Lucy a much better life and I thought the interactions with her and Shinjchi were pretty funny. Especially at the end where he explains he already has a girlfriend he thinks is prettier than Lucy. Sure he got trashed for it but he said it was worth it in the end.

Shinichi's life just gets more interesting each day. Wonder what's in store for him next.

Well, this chapter has certainly been a long time coming. Funny enough though, I could have sworn I had reviewed this chapter.

Shinichi's been recruited by A.R.M.O.R. Now things are really underway. Hope that he gets that rematch with the Skull Rider though.

Not much I can think of to say since this feels like the opening act to a bigger part. All I can say is that I am looking forward to what comes next and I'm sorry for taking so long.

So Scanner's dead, and we get to see more of Shinichi's powers in action. Guy is really getting powerful but I wonder if it'll be enough, especially if he gets into a rematch with Skull Armor. Hanyuu drooling over Chiaki was pretty funny though.

Great, so Gebok is looking into the syndrome? Terrific, guy's already twisted enough with what he had, adding that to his resources is basically asking for doomsday. Things are gonna be coming to a head soon, I just know it.

Ooooh boy. It's been a long time hasn't it? Sorry about the wait.

So yeah, Shinichi really took a beating from Skull Rider but I'm glad that it didn't leave him depressed. Still, I wonder what Skull Rider hopes to gain from bothering him. The training with his friends was pretty sweet and funny but wow, Kage Form? Things just got real!

Well damn. Skull Rider's no joke as he completely handed Showa his rear end. What was the point though? To test him? Motivate him to become stronger? Looking forward to when Showa gets strong enough to trash him.

So Warren's taking more of a personal approach by entering himself into the "Game". I can only imagine what he's hoping to accomplish, plus whatever role Rachel and Alan will have to play.

First we got to deal with the fallout of Shinichi's defeat. Will he wallow in self-pity or will he try to track down Skull Rider's true identity?

Sorry for taking so long to reply again.

Well this was a nice little bit of filler for the story. The date was pretty sweet but sure enough, Rika did try and pull some moves on Shinichi. I had a feeling it wasn't going to go anywhere and despite his perverted tendencies, his faithfulness to Rena speaks volumes of his character.

Unfortunately the festivities are cut short by the unwanted attention of Bomber. Go figure. I was a bit surprised when Showa got that helmet instead of his sword. And man, how brutal he was in dealing with Bomber. Still, he did get some really awesome powers from it. I actually thought he was going to waste Bomber but hey, sending him back as a message to GIN-SHOCKER works too.

So all this time it was Hanyuu who was responsible for them getting older. And to be with Chiaki too. That was pretty sweet. And Shinichi's learned a new trick, reversing time to bring those two back to a younger age. Though something tells me it's not something he should use often.

So now all that's left to activate is the Kage no Hoshi, huh? I wonder what powers that'll bring to Shinichi. And what lengths Bomber will go to have his revenge.

Sorry for just now replying after so long. Well now, I was really off. I thought those two might have been descendants from the future but it looks like it was just a mysterious growth spurt. Hmm. Something else is at work here though, and I have a feeling we'll find out soon.

Boy is there egg on my face. I really thought Rui was a boy but she's really a tomboyish girl who gets mistaken for a boy. Yipe.

I was a bit surprised at Rika asking Shinichi out for a date and Rena being okay with it. But she trusts Shinichi and knows he won't let anything major come of it. But I can bet he's still probably feeling really awkward about the whole thing. I wonder how the date's going to go. Knowing Shinichi's luck and Shiori even saying "What could happen"? I've got a feeling crazy stuff is gonna go down.
