He's definitely been quite a fun character, and where they went with him...yeah, I dig it. Phoenix was pretty awesome, I figured he'd be my favorite villain of the season, but Sora has definitely surpassed him. Now then, can't say that he is my favorite Rider villain of all time, that would probably be Kitaoka (he kinda counts, right?), Ouja, or maybe the Sonozakis, I dunno.

So, I had a bit of mixed feelings about this episode, mainly leading it up to the end-game of the reveal.
I feel that "Sora", could have built up to more of a reveal. In which, this reveal of him being a serial killer is a bit rushed. I had empathy with Sora up until that point of reveal, and it made me a bit angry at the writing of the show for rushing it out. If we could have grown more to liking of him, I feel like the deception would have been that much greater. This being said, yeah the twist was nifty... But, god so rushed.

Sora scars me now, but that's why he makes a great bad guy. I am getting really exited for the next 15 or so episodes left and what kindof twists the show has to offer

In one fell swoop they rescued Sora from the "Meh" villain pile Wizard had been building up for everyone who wasn't Phoenix and Cait Sith.
Awesome. A genuine murderer? Hell yeah.

Congratulations Wizard and Sora/Gremlin, you now for the first time have my full attention. I really hope you can keep it for 15 more episodes.
This was a fantastic episode.

Unlikely, unless they were seriously holding all their cards until these final 15 or so episodes...

Now that we know more about Sora I'm starting to wonder what caused him to despair in the first place. Since he's legality insane it's bound to be dark and could spell out more about the woefully under explained "Sabbath" that Wiseman wants to restart for reasons.
At any rate the die is cast and Sora's true self has been revealed. Let's see how the rest of Wizard plays out now that we're nearing the end point. |

Interesting episode. It's a very twisted concept, the inference that the reason Sora sees himself as still being "human" is because...well, he was a massively screwed up psychopath. I enjoyed it. Nicely handled episode
That said...I have to disagree with people who have him as the best villain in recent years (which is an attitude that surprises me to be honest). Does he blow anything out of Fourze away? Yes. Because he's actually been given another layer rather then having one tacked on. But the Sonozaki family? Or Dr. Maki? Or the complex simplicity of the Greeed? Or Ankh (when he was bad)? Sorry Sora, you're above the last set of hitters, but you're not in the big leagues for me.Personally I prefer Phoenix and Medusa.

Yeah I have to say Dr. Maki is still my favorite villain.

It wouldn't feel right to call Gremlin an amazing villain.
But he is a much better villain and character than I initially thought him to be thanks to this one episode.
