I just realized the magic stones are Wiseman's kidney stones.

So is Gremlin the new Basco or something?

This episode was quite good, just because it answered some points discussed previously on this forum :

- Haruto indeed can't transfer mana to Mayonnaise.
- Chimera reside in Nito's body, the belt is a catalyst.
- Haruto COULD go in Nito's innerworld and defeat Chimera, but Nito prefers to stay as a wizard even if he has to die.

Don't worry. I don't like Guremrin either. His character archetype is so cliche and played out it's disgusting. For a series that's been turning cliched storylines on their head recently, it would be a dishonor to have Gremlin be the main villain in the most obvious reveal, ever.

These two episodes were pretty meh for me.Coming off of the Mayu/Medusa arc aside,there just wasn't much here.

The one thing I like about "power-up get" episodes is that the hero overcomes something or the upgrade comes at some kind of cost.Here,Kousuke didn't really work for Hyper.At any point in the episodes,he could have easily just plugged Hyper into the Driver and used it.I'll say that I DO like Hyper.The colors work for me and if that thing about the design being Pharaoh-based is true,then I'm totally into it.Kinda wish it was called Beast Mirage though,just so they didn't reuse Hyper.And tassel whips are freaking awesome.

The Gate's story was pretty uninteresting,I feel like I saw this in another series not too long ago.This whole episode-arc felt entirely skippable.Hopefully something really cool will come out of Legion,most likely the lead up to Infinity.I just felt completely uninterested during these eps.

Maybe it's because the actor seems to be having so much fun with the rolw that I like him. As for how he got the stone. Magic :P

Not by any stretch, and this is coming from the guy who likes Gremlin.

He sure looks like he's trying

I happen to like Gremlin a lot. Without him the bad guys on this show would be a total snoozefest. Wiseman is barely there. Medusa is always so calm. Pheonix is well.. burning up as we speak. It's nice to have a character akin to Starscream. Always scheming and planning and is loyal to no one. As for the Hyper mode I happen to like it a lot more than Meteor Storm, but it's odd to see Beast using a gun after going with a saber as his weapon for so long.

I neither like nor dislike Gremlin. I just tolerate him.

Another great batch of episodes. Gremlin is really shaping up to be pretty badass. I cannot wait to see him get his own story arc. Not to mention he really fits with his name. Anyway, Beast's hyper mode is pretty awesome and I love how the colors go with his ancient theme. Very well done. Now I want to do a Beast vs Conan skit. :D With that said, it is nice to also see Rinko actually doing police work for a change since the first quarter of the series had her do nothing but be a stupid twat.
