Where's my cranberry rider god damnit!

I guess. :lol (I'm like 3 episodes behind, so...I don't know how sour he got. :lol I plan to catch up this weekend, though.)

No! Takatora! You didn't deserve that...

Although I have a theory. Not a good one, but a theory.

We've seen the riders store their drivers under their jackets before. He may have been carrying around his Sengoku Driver and his Melon Lockseed, just in case his Genesis Driver was damaged (I would, but I'm paranoid). We know Hellheim can work on Cartoon Physics (Gaim and his bike), so he may have been able to survive, his suit taking the fall. This may explain why the original suit is still in the opening.

Welp, for an episode being marketed as a betraying of Zangetsu it sure didn't let us down. Betrayed by his closest comrades and his brother, poor Takatora didn't see any of that coming. And sadly since he kept a lot of his recent enlightenments about the situation to himself, no one will be the the wiser to the scheme of Ryouma and Mitchy. If I've learned anything from fiction though, is that falling of a cliff wiht no signs of a visable death and or corpse means they probably survived. So I eagerly await the return of the Hawktiger.

Continuing the theme of betrayal, Mitchy once again attacks Kouta but this time parading around as the stolen Shin Zangetsu. He gets to make an attempt on Kouta's life and his brother will take all of the blame, fantastic. I really hope Kouta wipes the floor with him and takes the Melon Energy Lockseed to and gives him Jimba Melon beatdown. Though the big surprise of them week is that Sid had been waiting for Takatora to be about of the picture to stab Yggdrasil in the back. Should be interesting to see how things go now they no longer have free access to Helheim.

Edit: Forgot to mention, yay for Bandou handing Kouta a job on a silver platter. Now if only I was one good terms with a shop owner like that that :lol. And nice to finally see the Duke Henshin
