Kagerou seems to be the strongest threat right now, with the Deadmans trio hopelessly unable to get in the way of his scheme to kill Ikki when the Igarashis reach maximum happiness. It's very comedic how they get pushed around by him so easily like they're suddenly become merely nuisances, as it makes them look more sympathetic and shows that their plans don't always work out. Aguilera's so frustrated about him showing up and stealing her focus, Julio's mocking her about it and Olteca's waiting to see what happens next. They're an entertaining group of villains.

Some thoughts: I think when/if Sakura becomes Ryder, her demon will be funny, chatty and very girlly. That is, it will be everything that Sakura suppresses / is ashamed of in herself. She may also be a pervert, as Sakura seems to be trying to avoid romantic relationships the most. Also, given that we have a kaijin demon and a human demon, I will assume that its variation turns out to be a pet toy.
Otherwise, I honestly don't know how will the demons manifest, though it seems to exist in everyone, like Hiromi at the beginning, but his Rider form doesn't involve demons, other than the name, so dunno if Sakura's demon would be someone who interacted with her regularly like Vice and Kagerou, but personally I don't think that being funny, chatty, and girly isn't a negative trait (of which a demon seems to represent), so I'd think her demon may be someone who'd wish the worst or attacking anyone who has "unimpressive" or "undesirable" traits; from how she reacts negatively to many things regarding her family (but has limits where she'd compliment those who did well like Ikki at ep. 3), but didn't go for malicious route for them (where the demons may will, and for outside family as well).

You know, I’ve had a hard time articulating myself about this show in previous weeks, but I feel like with this episode I’m finally at a point where I can sort out more of how I feel so far.
The show is pretty weird! There are a lot of aspects I can really appreciate, but then there are also parts that feel like complete misfires too. Conceptually, I really like both the drama and the humor. Like, everything with Daiji is interesting, but it is an awful lot to have so much happen to him in the span of 8 episodes. I don’t know enough about him, or heck, anyone at this point to get invested beyond the surface level of “Oh no, bad things are happening to this nice family!”. Similarly, I find a lot of the humor pretty good, but the delivery is often not great! Except George, who is always in peak weirdo comedy form. The show isn’t bad, but the plot beats feel more like episode 30 than episode 8 to me, so I hope they slow down and let the character get more low stakes moments more often.

About romance, I concluded on the basis that her only child was embarrassed by the communication of her parents. Well, yes, "Tamaki" also considered confirmation. Last edited by Mesnick; 10-27-2021 at 04:02 AM.. |

This had happened before too, where Ex-Aid had Graphite beaten at ep. 10, the first time the doctor Riders worked together. But later he'd got an upgrade to the point that he's on par with Cronus. I guess upgrades in some form too for Olteca and Julio? I feel that Aguilera purposely acted demure, for some reason against Kagerou.. despite her manhandling Sakura and her showing bossy attitude to others that time, but don't think she has been upstaged yet. And this kinda reminds me of, for example, the tokusatsu originated from my country Bima (not the X one), where Topeng Besi, the supposed 2nd in command, was upstaged quickly, exploding from a slash of Helios (bow mode)... Rasputin did refer to him as failure too at one point.
Interesting that you bring up Bima, since now that you mention it, I can see the similarity in the dynamics between the Igarashi and Bramasakti-Iskandar families, like with Daiji being the younger brother Dark (albeit as Kagerou) Secondary hero to the big brother protagonist Ikki, same with Reza and Ray. Topeng Besi got the last laugh though, being the one to deal the finishing blow to Rasputin. So I think the Deadman trio are playing the long game and will prove their credibility as a threat later, since their goal of Gif's revival and creating a world of devils is more ambitious than Kagerou's goal of killing Ikki.

I just want to say that I loved the hotel setting this week. It's so nice to see some different locations on the show for a change.
