I just make the "Mei is Espada" thing as a joke to my hopes of the show ever taking Mei's character seriously. As interesting as a concept of Mei becoming just bit more serious and taking up the Espada mantle, it's most likely never gonna happen since she's being set up as another Sophia of some sorts.
We'll still see a female rider down the line tho, of which I am excited for! |
TV-Nihon just subbed Espada's Retsuden.
We find out that Calibur is a rider that is already part of SOL. It wasn't an evil form that Hayato took after he betrayed SOL. He was already Calibur. Ogami remarks "I still don't know why Fukamiya attacked Kamijou like that!" when we get a flashback of Kamijou defeating Hayato and the latter de-transforming and running off with Kurayami. It also retcons a few things that happened in EP 13. Kento didn't wake up peacefully and find the Wonder book. He wakes up screaming and sees that his hand is glowing purple. Mei arrives early and gives him Rintaro's camera that he won when he saw the prize machine thing in the early episodes. With a scene with him winning too. Mei remarks that Rintaro wanted to use the camera to take a picture of his "family". That word resounds within Kento and then tells Mei he needs water. Mei leaves and that's when she comes back and notices that Kento is gone, this time, however, he left Rintaro's camera and a pic he took. We find out that, he did in fact admit that he did the "Woe is me! My father's betrayal is my own burden!" lone hero type and paid the price for it. He regrets it since after he became Espada, nothing's been on his head other than "Why my father betray?". His plan was to wait out for Touma to learn "the truth" AND THEN he would tell him everything. Back to Mei finding out Kento was gone, we see Kento outside holding Alangina. He remarks that he has one final task and walks off. The purple aura consuming him. It's a pretty cool half-episode that explains some things as always. |

We don't know anything about quarter two yet. All we have is December, the last month of quarter one. We'll see.

This episode frustrated me. I appreciate that our actors for Kento and Touma have really committed to their roles, but 12 ended with Touma going into full-on weepy mourning for an apparently-dead Kento... only to back off, then hit the same damned beat again in the very next episode. Also, Kento - apparently recently near-fatally wounded - showing up to the battle to do the ONE THING that completes the villains' evil plan was both frustrating and not nearly properly set up. Until now, I've been doing what I think has been a pretty good job of ignoring the show's flaws. I don't love that we're now well into the series and I don't think we've gone a single episode without introducing a new form/character/toy. I really feels like the toy lines have been choking Rider to death for years, now. I know the shows are all extended toy commercials, but Saber hasn't exactly been elegant in how it's handled them. New forms in Rider tend to be tied to character growth, but they just haven't had the time to make most of them feel earned. Getting unpleasant Ghost vibes, from the almost-always-shrill supporting character to the plot that doesn't seem to have been particularly well-thought-out. On the upside, we haven't been asked to care about random guest characters for two-episode arcs, so that's a plus. |
