So everything considered, I think this was a good finale. Not much to say but having Jonouchi looking for Hase was a nice touch.

That part choaked me up a little...:(

It was a nice coda to Jonouchi's character development. I wonder if he'll ever learn the truth.

I think he might with him donning the pinecone.

Takatora's the only person left that knows the truth, depending on what he's doing during the epilouge I doubt he'll ever learn what happened to him.

Kouta's going to be in the next episode if leaks and previews are accurate, but also, how do we know Micchy in his snooping and early Yggdrasil days didn't find out about Hase's demise.

How do we know Ryouma didn't put hidden cameras in every Energy Rider helmet so he could secretly record what his cohorts saw and said "FOR SCIENCE!"?

Yeah, but Ryouma was there with the other energy Riders when Sigurd killed Hase. They were all watching from the bridge, remember? Ryouma would've had no need to film what he was watching with his own eyes.

Actually, that sounds like something Ryouma would do. Film everything he he and others around him sees...FOR SCIENCE! :lol

So I got around to finishing the episode, and I gotta admit, I liked it, even if I did get some Madoka vibes from the ending.

And I'm still kinda disappointed the Overlords didn't make it to the finale, specifically Deemushu (Or is it Demuushu?), Redyue and Roshuo.
