Still watching the ep now, but right at the beginning love the concept it establishes about "The power of friendship." Especially coming right off of the Fourze/Faiz story.
Though we're also seeing that Sougo is likely negatively impacted by Geiz's friendship, unless Sougo's mellow aspect can make Geiz chill later.
Tsukuyomi is coming off a bit like an apologist not seeing the similarity between Geiz and how Oma Zi-O acts, but interesting how Woz sees it and is now pushing for Geiz and Sougo to become friends because of how he thinks Sougo needs Geiz's influence.
Loved seeing more of Woz's black butler aspects coming out more too. Really looking forward to how his character develops, and liking how the show is progressing on the character aspects to how it interacts with the story they are dealing with. Including how they are dealing with "Another Riders" in a different than formula way.
Liked the Minority Report influences in this episode a bit, and liked how it tried to show prejudice and pre-judgement. Which is interesting in connotations of Wizard. Which then switched to a power corruption story. But Sougo is right, Geiz is taking it too far. Even factoring in his PTSD from the future, he's still a bit too aggressive. Which is interesting in how that's going to impact character development. Which is interesting in how Tsukuyomi makes excuses for it. Makes me a little disappointed in her character(though it is in character) as I'd expect a little more empathy from her in the fact they did attack first with no known victims yet. If Geiz and her had listened to Sougo, they could have resolved the whole thing peacefully. Which okay would have made a boring episode, but it does show an interesting aspect that aggressiveness isn't always the answer and makes bigger problems.
Though Woz is getting more interesting, and his phrasing is interesting too. "Young Tsukuyomi." Like there's an older one. The way he talks to Geiz suggests similar in that regard. Besides them having history, it also alludes to Woz may know an older Geiz.
Some interesting foreshadowing all around. Like not everything in the timeline is as cut and dry as they want the main trio to think. Seems like there's more to the Oma Zi-O faction than we've seen yet. At least likely in Tsukuyomi's case. Geiz still seems open ended, raising the question if his influence impacts Zi-O/Sougo, and why it leaves a lasting impression. Almost seems to allude to something like Geiz gets severely injured in the future because of Sougo's relaxed attitude. Which forces Sougo to adopt more of Geiz's ways to prevent that from happening again. Which is what creates Oma Zi-O.
But then again, this show is also all about changing time, so we might get a lot of false starts storylines that the timeline diverges out of. The premise is entirely about changing the timeline afterall.
The 7.5 was great too. Loved how they're diving into some of these topics about behind the scenes stuff for the 4th wall breaks and to also help get kids into looking at how shows are made.
That "young tsukuyomi" line though really sticks out. It's such a small thing, but it really does imply there's an older one then. And if there is, what did she become? where is she now? The VCR bit mixed with the young Tsukuyomi remark seems to allude to some interesting future developments.
