The tone of this episode is so different from the way things started!

I think Saber has always been a show that wanted to rush through all the multitude of exposition and character introductions and just get us to the meat of the show- relationships and fighting and drama!

Also, prolly cuz they know it'll be more painful if it was Daishinji first, seeing as he is a lot of people's favorites and he's the one who's most passionate when it comes to the Seiken. So, it's more raw when he gets to suffer first.

I'm betting Ogami would be the one who'd be the one who will be absolutely floored and angry when Gekido gets sealed OR the, the most likely one I feel, the least angry about it. He is getting up there and I'm thinking he'd say something like: "I get to spend more time with Sora." Something like that.

I feel kind of bad for Ren as no one's really telling him anything at this point. He has a slight awareness of the situation but has no real clue as to what's going on. I mean, of course part of that is due to his impulsive and 'slice first, talk later' attitude, but at the same time the SoL's been feeding him some real garbage 'info' and not all the details.

Honestly, I feel like he's going to leave the organization soon for that exact reason.

Now I'm imagining Ren ditching from an important meeting or something, only to show up at Touma's doorstep, asking what the heck is going on.

Now that I've said that, it probably won't happen.

I feel like Ren will join with Desast and the Megid soon.

That's also a good reason for why Daishinji lost his seiken first.

I really like the idea of Ogami being relieved from losing his rider abilities. One can only fight for so long before they either a) need a break or b) to just stop. He loves his son a lot, who knows maybe by the end of the series Ogami will pass down the sword to someone himself.

Edit: I also expect Ogami to try and dad to Kento, but I don't think that's gonna work.

I'm guessing cause it's Ren he's going to run into Desast before getting to touma but after losing his sword to kento. The betrayal of trust from Kento will make Ren trust Desast and will get like a monster rider fusion of the two of them.

Honestly Ren being the next one to lose his sword would fit the most.

Justice is Strength, Strength is Justice.

But what happens when one loses ones strength? Hmm? I feel like him losing Hayate will be the big tipping point for him.

Yeah I think Buster is going to feel remorse that it should have been him to lose his sword.

I could also see Ren trying to join Kento and fight beside him, with the promise to willingly hand Hayate over to be sealed once they finish with the others. After all, idolizing Kento is a full half of Ren's personality at this point, and if his idol says something is needed to save the world he'd almost definitely go along with it (at least at first).

Kento will probably will deny Ren at his side and wants him to suffer for learning nothing from neither him or Touma, seal his sword and kill him in the process.
