I think it kinda looks like a Lemon, though someone here was right in saying that black lemons are never a good sign. :lol

God damn what an episode, what a season. Holy crap!

Again, something that I really like, Yggdrasil really aren't the bad guys. We may be seeing this as Micchy going to "the dark side", but is he REALLY? We don't know what the endgame is, we don't know why Yggdrasil is doing what they're doing. We are seeing it from Kouta's perspective, more or less. And sure, the means may not be the most "good", but we don't even know the ends. They may very well be, as they say, doing this for the greater good.

As for Jinba Lemon. Again it's overall a pretty cool design, and it was really awesome in action, but I do wish it had an actual fruit form rather than just some nods here and there in the design. That and I hate that his weapon is just the same generic weapon all the energy riders have. I hate that the energy riders all have a generic weapon :[. Still a nice early season upgrade, even if it isn't as cool as most of the other arms.

Edit: Also really dig the theory that Zawame is a crafted reality by Yggdrasil and that Helheim is the real world. I don't really think that that is the direction they are going, especially with the bit about Helheim "choosing someone" at some point in the future, but it's a cool theory.

Oh and as for glossing over flaws/people liking things that are good, etc. Well Ryuki is not without its issues, but I loved that series so much I can even look passed the absolutely insulting final 10 minutes of it i.e. everything after they show Ren dead at the foot of Eri's bed.

Finally all caught up with Gaim! Go me.

And wow what the hell did Takatora show his baby brother. I almost don't want to know, but then I really want to know, at the same time. But damned Orange Lemon Energy Arms is amazing on screen and in motion. And now the armor and why it looks so different makes sense. Because it wasn't straight Orange or Lemon it was a mixture.
Glad to see Rat back in action, though team Red Hot is a bunch of thugs. And how come no one even misses Hase-Chan? Not one team, except his own fleetingly in the last episode, even asked where he was.

Well to be fair..it really doesn't explain why it doesn't look like..well a fruit. I mean yeah we get a lemon pattern on the chest but that's about it. Hell there isn't even a hint of the orange in it so it really may as well not have been a mix at all, or just a mix between lemon energy and..anything.

You're still to completely hung up on every piece of armor needing to look like a fruit. It doesn't match the fruit motif, but it matches the Sengouku Era motif and comparisons perfectly.

Jinba Lemon still looks a bit bulky, but I love the Lemon pattern. I see what they were getting at with the design and once you got used to it, it's actually pretty cool. Though I still have to get used to the silver headpiece...

I actually think it looks pretty decently like a lemon, it's just a black lemon. :lol

I like it better than the golden one :lol

Maybe it's just because I generally prefer gold over silver, despite wearing mostly silver jewelry (because I would wear more gold, if you could get more, duh xD)

In regards to Jinba Lemon I dont care if it doesnt look like a fruit. I like the fact that the more heroic Kouta becomes he less and less looks like a fruit and more like an actual Samurai.
