We're quickly approaching the final stretch of the series!
-Does Ouja have any humanity left? Probably not! -The second Survive card appears -Survive Vs. Survive -Odin appears, will Knight fight and survive? Discuss!

HA! If I'm remembering my episode order correctly, we definitely get that answer during this stretch.

This was a good stretch. After the ridiculousness of the Megumi and arranged marriage episodes I was happy to get back to the normal theme of the show. The Ouja 2-parter isn't my favorite set of episodes featuring him but it's a welcome change. Seeing Ryuki get the survive card as well was awesome. I love that Kanzaki just sort of passes them out for the heck of it. Hey, you look weak and don't want to fight, take this power up

There's actually a pretty twisted but brilliant logic to it. Kanzaki's assumption is that Shinji and Tezuka didn't want to fight because they thought they were too weak. So he assumes that by giving them the Survive cards, they'll feel stronger and go out and start killing. It never dawns on him that Shinji and Tezuka just don't want people to kill each other. And that kind of makes sense, given that they were the two guys who were never meant to be in the Rider War in the first place.

I always wondered why the battle was actually necessary when he could just pass out the 13 decks to whoever, then immediately use Odin to destroy each and every one of them. 2 episode series, battle over, Yui gets a new life. In the end we saw that Knight was utterly outgunned and outclassed against Odin. He only won because Kanzaki gave up the battle at Yui's request. Odin could have finished the battle before it even began.

I still can't stand Episode Final honestly. That just felt like a train wreck. I'd gladly take the last episodes of the series over that anytime. I appreciate it fleshing things out just a little bit but I had ambiguous endings like that.

You were right. Ryuki getting Survive was incredibly underwhelming.
