I suppose there's really no other alternative in his eyes. Stay in the bunker or face possible death in the destruction of the city. And honestly, if all hell really did break loose, I can very easily see Micchy gunning down civilians to protect his friends.

Intense episode. I really like how Kouta just swiped Yoko's lockseed and ran off, haha. Looks like Micchy's plotting behind Kout's back is starting to unravel. At this point the only reason he has to hide his allegiance to Yggdrassil is so his friends won't despise him. I wonder what he'll think of Takatora telling Kouta though.

Kaito pretty much said his main goal, defeat the sentient Invess and achieve a power that'll take him beyond humanity. Looks like shades of Ryouma and the other energy riders are rubbing off on him. I wonder if he'll end up getting a completely different final power up then Kouta based on the Overlord Invess somehow.

Takatora's still being played for a chump by the other energy riders. He's gonna have to question Ryouma sooner or later about him telling Kouta about Project Ark. I can't wait for whenever he confronts the other energy riders once he finds out they're goals are essentially the opposite of his. I wonder where DJ Sagara fits in all this. He hasn't been seen in a while..but we'll find out next episode.

Oh yeah, I wanted somebody to snap on them in the bunker. That would have been intense.

Kouta finally knows the truth... What happens next between him and Micchy will be very interesting, I'm sure.

Knowing the Urobutcher, someone is going to die soon. "Who?" you may ask. That I don't know.

Is it bad I agree so much with Yggrasil? Sure I want Kouta to continue doing his best and try to save everybody, he's the hero and everything, that's his job.
But given the circunstances, Yggdrasil has a pretty solid plan, grim for sure but it's actually doable.

Holy shit nugget...that was pretty damn dark Ryouma.

Anyways, great episode as always, raising the drama and the stakes once again.

My hat really goes off to Mahiro Takasugi in this episode. Micchy really is a calculating git and his performance really shows it. Even when he's not saying anything his face looks like he's running through every possible lie in his head in preparation.

That's the best description I've seen for him yet. I disdain them both about equally, too.

After this episode I'm more than ready for Micchy to die. Kind of hoping Kaitou is the one to do it as well. Since there won't be any emotional attachment getting in his way like there would be with Kouta.

Agreed. I'd love to see Micchy skewered on the banana spear.
