oren arms! Knight of the rolling pin!

Miiiiiiiiiiiisssterrrrrrrrrr BAKERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...what an AWESOME Episode.

I cant think of a single thing I disliked about it. Marika is so unbelievably Bad Ass and her fight against Kouta gets even more epic when you remember that her actress does all of her in suit stuntwork.

And of course...the absolute highlight was the Oren Pierre Alfonzo Lock Seed. I crack up every time I see that scene.

Just noticed Gridon and Bravo both have "final" Sengoku drivers, with silver straps, verses the yellow "prototype" strap.

Yup. Minato says Yggdrasil upgraded them. Basically it just means they aren't prototypes anymore though.

What worries me about this is the possibility of very minorly different releases of the SHF's for these guys. Just with different color belts. Talk about trying to cash in but even I'm not sure I could compel myself to buy something with that small a difference.

There's always the possibility that Bravo and Gridon could come with swappable Belt pieces.

Such a clever way of showing a difference. Silver is official, industrial. Yellow typically reminds of safety and caution, as they're untested.

I want to know how Orren made that Lock Seed.

That thought ran across my mind too. That must be some impressive feat of engineering. :lol

On a black moon in a summer's day, Oren Pierre Alfonso baked a cake with an oven made of iron. He carried this cake to the top of Mount Fuji, where he sat and waited in meditation, sustaining himself with the sacred baker's energy that fills the universe. Then, on the fourth hour of the 23rd day, a bolt of lightning came down from the sky and struck the cake. Awakening from his trance, Oren Pierre Alfonso caught the lightning with his bare hands and trapped it in a jar. Slinging it around his back, he walked 500 miles to a sacred oak tree. Opening the jar, Oren Pierre Alfonso held the lightning in his hand and stood still. Then, at the apex of the full moon's position in the sky, an acorn fell from the tree, to be struck through the center by the lightning that Oren Pierre Alfonso held in his hand. The force was so great, the acorn rocketed through the tree, past the mountains, and stopped in the doorway of Charmant. Returning home on the back of the unicorn king, Oren Pierre Alfonso removed the acorn from his door, baked it in his oven for three hours at 350°F, and switched his creation with Jonouchi's Donguri Lock Seed.

Or he just bribed Sid.
