EVOLUTION

I really liked how far Kenzaki was willing to go to get Hajime back to his senses. Gave up his Absorber to Mutsuki and his belt to Yoshito and Tachibana to get all of the Heart Undead cards together to surpress Joker. And it worked and we get Wild Chalice in the process. The new weapons actually felt rather mantisy and work his original weapon. And the suit design pops more than the regular Chalice.

37 gives us a nice counter part to 36 where Hajime steps up save Kenzaki from becoming a Joker himself due to King Form. Then we have the revelation that Yoshito is actually Trial B with his memories implanted. Makes you where/who Trial A and C are.

I just love Chalice's Wild-form so much! It's definitely a step up from the regular colors.

So why are the Ace and King of Hearts the most simplisticly designed of all Undead, save the Human? I know it's because they're used to become Chalice and production needs them to look simpler, but why are they simpler in-story?

I don't know, I think the Human Undead looks really simplistic.

I don't really count it, personally, but we do see the Paradoxa Undead in its natural form in Decade. It looks nothing like Wild Chalice.

Oh hey Im backloggin again? Well then time to marathon a series Im tryin to like.

37- Chalice's upgrade! Looks awesome! i might not care for the series much damn at the designs

38- Damn Tachibana. Shoot first is your motto huh? All 4 riders fightin for Kenzaki? cool.

39- Hajime is back and Hirose's dad is an Undead trial? Dang.

Epic Blade Catchup Marathon Part 4/6!

A great set of episodes, Wild Chalice is beautiful. Possibly my favourite rider design of all time... I couldn't believe that Kenzaki would just give away the Rouze Absorber and Belt like that, just how far is he prepared to go for Hajime...? It was good to see Hajime saving Kenzaki for a change though, and now Kenzaki has the possibility of turning into another Joker hanging over him if he keeps using King, interesting.

I guessed Hirose's father would be turning up at some point, but Trial B? Did not expect that... so where're A and C? Also, what was (father) Hirose's other card? I guess time will tell!

Aww, poor Mutsuki, without an upgrade. Speaking of that, I loved when Wild Chalice was trying to calm King Form, and Leangle goes to attack him and Chalice just brushes him away like a fly, that made me chuckle.

Right, onto 40-42!

If Blade were ever given a US redo I'd like to see them keep the plot largely intact, but make Chalice female and play up the relationship with Blade as more of a romance. That part of the show already works, but I think a romantic angle would really make it a much more powerful story. Especially when spoiler spoiler spoilery spoiler.

No, just no. I don't need a romance added in just for the sake of adding one in.

It wouldn't be for the sake of adding one, it would be for making the story more compelling for a culture where a romantic relationship is much more powerful than an epic bromance.
