So Tassel and Avalon guy meet and appear in show together. I thought the Avalon guy might be the final boss somehow. Now I don't know. It looked as if both of them were Shinigamis somehow. The guys that appear when a swordman dies and they come search him.
Mei staying with Rintaro was cute. You can tell what she was thinking even if she didn't say anything (for once lol). When Rintaro was "yokatta yokatta" about Kento, the look she had was clearly "Think about yourself as well, be okay". I liked how the henshin sounds for Espada and Calibur were so clean in this ep. Slash is still the most entertaining to watch when fighting Im not so emotional about Kento right now. I would find it nice if someone else could become Espada in his place, but I guess that's not so easy. And as long as I don't see his body physically disappear I'm not even convinced he is dead. Maybe in a coma most probably. |

Kento staying actually dead would be the biggest twist this show could throw at us.
I'm fully expecting him to come back around May with a kitbash suit, prob also be part of the villains for a bit before switching back before end game. |

I just hope this won't go into a weird route about Kento being evil because of a misunderstanding or something.
Like if he is in a coma. And then when he wakes up he is partially amnesic just like Touma was (kinda switching roles now that Touma seems to remember everything) but the few memories he has left are like "my father being dead... killed by (old) Saber", forgets the pinky promise thing and then tadaa big vilain with absurd revenge. |

Disappointingly, I think the magazine scans actually point to Kento just being in a coma. He's not much any closer to being a bad guy, I think. Kenzan has a chance tho what with the "heel turn".
I kinda actually like Mei here too. She showcases another emotion other than "poggers", being genuinely upset at Kento. Edit: rewatching with subs and VoidinToku's opinion about the characters not being fully established yet kinda makes emotional scenes like this have little in impact. It was a sad scene but with the notion that he'll just be in a coma (I think magazine scans said that), Kento's 'death' scene is hard to swallow. Altho, there might still be room for him to be "Dead" dead, what with Touma saying something about "You sacrificed people! And even Kento!" Rintaro's injury actually has more weight, despite his "I'm an orphan" backstory just being dumped to Kento out of nowhere, but it does contextualize his personality throughout the show. He's sheltered, doesn't know much of earthly culture, and very kind to people since only SOL was there for him. And his injury actually lasts till next episode, which is cool. Kento was also dumb here (which is kinda in-character for him) since he knows that taking on Calibur alone is useless since the three of them barely managed to beat Calibur on his base form. Even kept his plans to everyone a secret, except Touma. His only hint was the "place where we made the promise" and even then it banks on Touma actually regaining that memory, otherwise Touma might not have been able to find him. Ren dum dum too for not checking if Kento was actually with him the whole time, he also looks better when he's not smiling like a psycho lmao. It's an okay episode, but not fully earned since we know little of SOL. Tho, that might helped with the Swordsman biographies, maybe. Last edited by TheRaizin; 11-29-2020 at 06:21 AM.. |

So I was thinking, since Kento possibly got Kiriya'd I wonder if the new trope is that if you are a yellow rider on the side of good regardless of the degree of good, you will die and then rise again and live on or at least exist somehow. Hmm...
WE MIGHT HAVE A NEW TROPE ON OUR HANDS FOLKS! Lazer Grease and now Espada. Yep. It's a trope now. |

Utterly adored the intensity of this one. I mean, that beautifully directed fight between Esapada and Calibur, Touma realizing what Kento's been putting himself through, an injured Rintarou riding in on a lion to save the day(!), even the way the show is slowly building up to making Tassel a significant part of the series, of all things...
I thought there was a lot to love here, as always. By the time it gets to that big sad scene of Touma finding Kento beat to a pulp, I mean, I totally bought into it, and I don't even expect Kento to be gone any longer than the rest of the year at most. But the emotions of the characters, and the way the show just goes for that solemn moment, it seriously landed with me. Consider me hyped for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight next week.

... man, I don't know. Something about this just isn't hitting for me.
I want to like it but I'm just not really feeling anything.

not sure if Espada is gonna die since he's featured so prominently in the marketing (Lazer was BARELY in Ex-Aid's marketing)
BUT YEAH IF I thought anyone was gonna die it was Buster tbh |
