Kamen Rider Zeztz 38

Did Kamen Rider Zeztz 38 confuse character movement for character growth?

Odaka (Knox) ends this episode with a new form, a new purpose, a new alliance, and a major victory over Three. On paper, everything changes. But did he actually grow as a character?

In this review, I explore the difference between a trip and a journey, why Baku's development felt earned, why Odaka's redemption fell flat for me, and why Midnight Shadow's debut may be the most disappointing moment in Zeztz so far despite the fantastic suit design.

Was this a meaningful character arc, or did the story rush Odaka to the destination without earning the road that got him there?
