I do want to say ... the previews of next week with the return of Bravo and what appears to be our first focus episode on Gridon has me absolutely giddy, especially the part where he looks to be running in to battle to save the day.

It will be nice to see those two again after such a long absence.

Next week has Bravo?

Instant improvement.

Gridon with long hair and cross-dressing? Has he been with Bravo for too long?

It was pretty good. So what the heck was Sagara doing talking to the two Overlords? I'm assuming that maybe he was a monk or priest or shaman of some sort...and he discovered the tree in Zawame, and somehow learned how to communicate with them and gained their powers? Or he was one of the inhabitants of the other world.

Very intriguing, absolutely loved the episode it reminded me a lot of Kuuga in a couple ways. The first way was not understanding the Overlord Invess which like the Grongi speak their own language. Second was the Jinba Forms remind of Kuuga's forms of Titan/Lemon-Strength, Dragon/Cherry-Jumping/Speed, Pegasus/Peach-Super Hearing; Also Kachidoki Arms reminds me a bit of Rising Ultimate Kuuga with the Giant Horns and having 4 of them. It's cool how there are so many similarities to past series in this one. Anyways I love Kouta's usage of his different Lockseeds and kicking Sid's ass. I enjoy Kaito's and Mai's talks too, and we further see Micchy's descent to darkness. I feel bad for Takatora he is the only one without a hidden agenda at Yggdrasil. I want to more about DJ Sagara too.

I was thinking the same, yeah; stuff got real Kuuga-y this week. I like it when things get Kuuga-y (although, to be fair, we also got the return of Wiseman's hideout from Wizard and the window Ren made Shinji pay him back for in Ryuki - yay location reuse).

But yeah, I liked this episode. The plot's still moving, the action was pretty good (although the sword mode for Kouta's new weapon is really lame), Yoko's still rocking the sexy business suits, and Micchy is still continuing his descent into total asshat-dom. It's nice to be back to the real show after last week's waste of time. Speaking of wasted time: next week is a Bravo/Gridon focus. Because that's something we apparently needed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Kuuga. :lol

Wow

If I didn't know any better I'd think he'd been hanging out with Deka Break and Magi Shine :lol

More on topic though. This episode was excellent. I eagerly await the reveal of the rest of the Sid Lock Seed's powers. And the Overlords are very interesting. I'm guessing we won't have any idea what those guys are saying until the eventual DVD's come out with translations or something.
