Javel isn't dead since we've already seen that he's going to show up again in January via telivi-kun scans and saionji is definitely gone since his actor has gotten his flowers.

Since when does a ghost need to sleep. :D

Love the new form/look that red really pops. Are they now going to spread out the new 99 day deadline over the course of the rest of the season? Or this time he makes it?

And what's up with Makoto? Is he alive, dead or what? We saw him and his sister both get sucked into shrine thingy. We know that she was dead but what about him?

Makoto isn't dead and we can assume the 99 eyecons will be pushed until alan's father steps in and ruins the riders.

This episode was definitely a feels trip for me. I loved it, it definitely made you feel how much these characters care about Takeru and how much of an effect he had on them. Makoto continues to have deeper secrets here, with apparently betraying Aran. I am going with that the Ganma gave him his powers or something in the the Ganma's world and that he was working for them but chose to go achieve his own goals. I love that Takeru's father extended Takeru's ghostly life for another 99 days and I am intrigued where that will lead him next (most likely his next upgrade form). I love Toucon Boost, it's such an amazing form that you can feel it's power coming from it. Also the Sunglasseslasher is awesome, that was just an amazing fight and I can't wait to see more from it. I also loved that Takeru took Akari to the exhibit she wanted to see in the first episode that was a nice touch. I can't wait for more.
