Perhaps it's one of those fancy dual sides ones I've heard about? Or being illiterate is thw trade off for being able to do that?

I might agree with that.

I wonder if it's the same thing as when Hongo Takeshi's scientist prevented him from turning evil.

But if that's true, what happened to Satou Tarou's mind?

Last season there was a villain with timestop abilities, now there is a character whose identities were mixed with someone else in some way. I keep seeing things in reference to Jojo

BloodStark personality seems rather playful and rockish enough
My theory is that he is Katsuragi's body + sato taro's mind.

That Katsuragi and Sato body swaped.

If that's true. How will they explain this to Katsuragi's mom?

Just hope Blood Stark doesn't die before that happens.

I can imagine Taro dying in Katsuragi's body when Night Rogue kills him. But, Taro leaves behind his body for Takumi to live in so that he can continue fighting Faust & live his life as Sento Kiryu/Build.

I dunno about Stalk being Sento's inverse. He's just too... smart for me to really buy him being Taro. Yes, he's very much got a punk attitude to him, but it's not really like what we've seen of Taro so far.

Not that I really have a better alternative suggestion, than... eh, something, something, Nebula gas personality shifting...

I like that it feels like there's clearly some Red Herrings, the question being which ones are the false leads, ya know?

Look guys, he was totally riding the bike in the intro, so it still counts! Okay but for real though if I don't see a bike two episodes in a row I'll give up this stupid bit.

At any rate, I loved the episode itself (aside from the crippling lack of bike action!). I'm noticing Build is unusually good at having these heartfelt conversations between characters. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the show is great too but something about scenes like the one just before the cliffhanger here or Souichi and Ryuuga talking about Sento back in episode 6 or Sento's little spiel about doing the right thing in episode 3 or-

Well, I could go on, but basically my point is that, for me, all the most memorable moments in Build so far have been scenes that are just people talking, and I think that's a very good sign for its quality.

Night Rogue and Blood stalk basically shrugging off Voltech Finishes is pretty impressive

Blood stalk was hurt by one last episode, but was otherwise find

night rogue was slightly stunned and fought on

Egg dish a clue that Sentou has Katsuragi's personality/memories?

So it shows why Build is built as half-half?
Huh, interesting justification there, writers.

Can I just say that I LOL'd so hard at how Ryuga was getting his butt handed to him by the Smash, meanwhile Sento was busy playing with the FullBottles trying to find the Best Match, and when he finally gets it he frickin YELLS IT ALONG WITH THE BUILD DRIVER AS HE HENSHINS IN EXCITEMENT?!! OK, at first I was against this whole thing of him being lighthearted & treating Best Matches as a point of thrill to him.....but I think this moment justified it for me. LOL

Oh, and as a side note....I've been paying more attention to the OST of Build lately, and I gotta say, that main Battle Theme has grown on me quite a bit. I REALLY like it now.
