Yeah, you pretty much listed the upsides that I found within the episode.

To give the people who participated in Die's' Kabuto thread some credit, all of them seemed to like Kabuto -- loved it, even. They just didn't particularly like episode 46.

Not all of them. I was in that thread and I definitely liked Episode 46 and defended it. While Tsurugi's death was tragic, especially since he was finally making progress with Misa-KI-nu, it was also a heroic death for sure. He died getting the revenge he sought for both his sister and himself and taking out a whole bunch of other Worms in the process.

I agree that it's a little weird how Die, to whom I mean no disrespect, seems to focus more on his own perspective at the expense of other equally valid takes. Your body language example reminds me of a similar disagreement in the Faiz thread, where Die interprets Yuka's cheerful expression in an unexpected way.

I disagree that Agito is a better Kabuto, as I much prefer Kabuto, but I'll admit that Hikawa is a better Kagami.

The exact move came(killing most of the Warms) came at a rather fun(ny) time for me too, as around this point of the show, with how so many mooks were getting slaughtered en-masse for the entire episode, I began to wonder just how in the heck there were any left.

Cue Tsurugi's' master plan and welp.

I'll admit that I don't remember that specific episode of Faiz all that clearly, but based on what I do remember of the characters? Yeah, your take on Yuka there seems alot more in line with how I remember her being.

Oh man, Hikawa is miles better. Love that guy.

I'll join in the praise for Hikawa. Considering Agito's invincibility and Gilles' indestructibility, he was the rider I was most worried about in this show.

I enjoy Kabuto for the clock-up battles and the two Fist of the North Star rejects who transform into crickets and love instant noodles. :lolol
And the Gatack suit is one of the best designs around. :rock:

I have finally started watching Kamen Rider Ghost.

Good luck. Don't let the negative reputation scare you off. The show is definitely not the most dynamic and not without its flaws, but it has its pluses.

You know you don't have to, right?

Someone might write the same thing about Hibiki.

And they would be correct.
