I thought this was another good episode. I’m liking the pacing so far, it’s moving pretty quick and we’re getting some big revelations already. Soichi being part of Faust makes a lot of sense now considering his resources and why he has access to all of the stuff he has under the café. I’m interested in learning more about what his role within the organization is/was and what his current relationship with it is, considering he’s assisting Sento currently and straight up admitted to him that he’s part of it. On top of that though there’s still an even bigger mystery about him, considering what we saw him do with the tablet, and how his daughter has unusual abilities too. There’s a lot going on with this guy and I suspect the Faust revelation is only scratching the surface of who he actually is.
Ryuga had a lot of good material this week too, I thought he was really the star of this episode. While it was Build that actually physically saved Nabeshima, all of the emotional weight of the storyline was carried by Ryuga. After his reflections on his motives and feelings last week, this was a great way to show that he’s really putting that into action and starting to put others before himself, really becoming a hero. He starts out wanting to save Nabeshima just for his own benefit, but through exposure to his family and seeing what they’re going through, ends up trying to help them just for the sake of it being the right thing to do. I’m really liking Ryuga’s story so far and can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Quote:
So Facial Hair Guy (I could look up the name but that's no fun) being Night Rogue is just like... an open secret at this point? Nothing in the show so far has been treated like the big reveal despite spelling it out so clearly. It's kind of an odd way to handle things.

I'm digging the gradual hero's journey Ryuuga's got going on. It may seem like a little moment, or just kind of obvious, but him stepping back and saying "I don't care about me" when Nabeshima can't remember his family speaks a lot to the development he's had so far, and plays into Sento's spiel to him last episode. I guess it's not super impressive, genius writing or anything, but I don't know, I really liked it. Ryuuga's earning the status he's going to gain however many weeks from now.
Also echoing everyone who said that the little girl was a sweetheart! (Take notes, insufferable brats of Toku.) My cold heart melted when Sento explained the memory thing to her. I was surprised how well he handled that situation. Blood Stark has my antihero sense tingling, I can see him going rogue and betraying Bat Man.

This episode sold me - the perfect balance of tones that make Rider work. Some action, some sci-fi, some mystery, some comedy and some drama. Off to a great start, Build!
Okay, so the panels hold Full Bottles, meaning there are two more to be obtained, likely of a different color representing different abilities, I'm gonna guess. What is underneath? OHBOY

I'm still not even mildly disappointed with the show. Sento and Ryuga both feel essential, and I'm loving them both. I haven't yet detected filler; plot and character are still moving forward. The show has charm to spare. The in-suit fight sequences are enjoyable, but they're not my favorite part of the show, and that's a really promising sign.
