Episode 10: Ryume is badass. She is my favorite watchdog from GARO so I am glad she got an episode in this. Great to see about her past and seeing a young D Ringo. Damn her priest powers keep her really really young with how old D Ringo got. That was a better episode of this series. I hope we get another bigger character next episode.

Why didn't they have a barrier up to keep people out? Or at lease a sign outside that said, "Stay Out, Mystic Box Full Of Horrors Inside"

I know it was for the plot's sake. But noway would that place be so wide open like that. While that sort of evil is inside.

What if that was Eyrith inside there? :eek:

Episode 10, or Don't Make Important Padlocks out of Paper. :p

Definitely one of the stronger episodes of this series and one that reminds me a lot of episode 2. I'm going to assume they had the same writers, given how both delved into the backstories of Gold Storm characters. Ryume herself continues to be incredibly awesome, but my favorite part was the surprise reveal of who the thieves were at the end. I got a pretty big laugh out of that. Overall, I thought this was a really fun episode with some good action, comedy, and character moments.

I find it kind of sad that in episode that appeared to be about Ryume (and we did get get a bit about her history) we learned more about D Ringo here than the entirety of Goldstorm, movie and series.

I don't mind it as much. I like that the Gold Storm writers are using this series to flesh out supporting characters like D Ringo, Zinga, and Amily. I think these are probably two of the strongest episodes (along with the Yuna/Cain one) because they feel like they actually add something to the franchise and aren't just forgettable one-off side missions. I'd love to get another one of these in the few episodes we have left, particularly an origin story for Tsuruhime so we can finally learn what the fucking hell is up with her crazy idiom speech.

Episode 11: It was great to see Tsubasa and Jabi again. That was a great pairing and they both kicked ass. I liked the in sight into Tsubasa's past and his connection with his friend. Also that he played a bit detective finding information was fun. One of the better episodes I'd say too.

You know, basically being a country boy it makes sense Tsubasa would be slightly confused by city life. Hell I know that one couple would have freaked me out. Still it was nice to see his motivation, and a bit of a more human side where his friend was concerned. And at least for now it looks like him and Jabi are becoming an item, or starting too at least. Or again, she did tell those girls that he was a stick in the mud and he was resistant to her help. That last one may be Tsubasa in general though.

Ah, now we're talking. I cannot believe it took until the penultimate episode to get anyone from the original series back. It was a pretty good episode, too. I was happy to see Tsubasa, but then I heard that voice in the bar and knew immediately who it belonged to. I will always, always be excited to get more Jabi.

I'm very curious to see what character(s) they saved for the finale.

Those two are going to produce one powerful Makai Knight.
