Am I the only who thinks that the crack closed right as Oren jumped into it, and that the zipper got stick in him? :lol

I'm not gonna lie, my first thought was he got zipped in half.

Poor Junoichi indeed :lol

This wasn't a ground breaking episode or anything, but a nice fun "Fillery" episode like this is just what Gaim needed before it picked up pace again.

And seeing Oren actually care about someone is a nice change of pace from his usual plot points.

Lots of good comedy but still managing to push the plot forward. I suspect we'll see much more involvement from Bravo now that he's investigating the cracks. More crazy Ryouma is also always welcomed.

A nice little filler-y episode.

It was nice to see Jounouchi henshin for the first time since you-know-what happened ages ago, even if it wasn't anything particularly breathtaking. And Oren's one of my favorite Riders so I was glad to see him again.


So this basically confirms the Apple lockseed then? And good that they didn't go with a Garden of Eden plotline, and instead presented the fruit as a common thread throughout history and mythology.


And it looks like from the previews, Micchy is just falling deeper to the dark side.


Quite excited for the next episode.

This is exactly what the show needed.

An episode that is mostly comedic (when was the last time we had a good laugh on this show?) but still manages to advance the plot from the villains standpoint (Yggdrassil).

And what looks to be an interesting twist is that Oren is now investigating the truth behind the Inves, meaning he may end up joining the side of good in the end. But what will he find in Helheim?

AND NEXT EPISODE! Energy Baron! Mai learns the truth about Yuuya! Micchy finally reveals himself at Kouta (well, sorta).

Can't wait.

I enjoyed this episode like Kickback said it's a nice break from all the drama that's currently going on.. plus "NEVER GIVE UP" is stuck in my head now :lol

Oren must have been drunk though to think somebody could jump off the top of playground equipment with a giant ass weight against their back :lol

They went all Assassin's Creed? ....Ghu..agh...dosh darn it!

It was the scene at Drupers, where he gets all mopey about how he can't control anything, is just an outsider, and the weight of everything crushing. It just seemed like backsliding on the decisions the character made just the last episode. Which when you're battling with the Overlords in one episode, and looking/acting the same as a prior episode just a short term later seems the definition of wishy washy. So I don't feel I used the term incorrectly. Perhaps I misinterpreted the way the scene was written. Or perhaps I'm not defining it correctly, but I'd like it stated that it wasn't for the sake of intelligence.
