I guess I didnt word that right, I know he almost got killed by someone else, I just know he'll be back up next episode so it doesnt really matter to me how he reacts.

Nice use of totally unreasonable extremes. Micchy has subtle feelings for Mai = stalker crush. Kota is nearly killed in what he believed was a game = Whiny bitch.

Yeah, totally the same.

Well, when you put it that way, it makes a bit more sense.

Yea, I dont really get those kind of moments a lot, I mean he was just sitting in his room, Im sure next episode, after Micchy has his little battle with team (whatever it is, the guy with the Ichigo seed), Kouta will get back on his feet, with more determination, probably get that Ichigo seed and have a third upgrade in the 5th episode :lol

So if we keep going this route, how many upgrades will these guys have? Im pretty sure that was Mango that Kaito took first from the forest so he will be next.

The thing is, this is probably the moment that makes Kota no longer treat being a rider as a game, now that he knows what can happen.

It's not pointless, it's important. Of course we know what happens, it's a necesary step in establishing the tone. It'd have to happen sooner or later.

Thats my point. But if that moment comes this early in the series, then who knows how much more we are gonna get later!

I absolutely loved this episode. Kaito is totally badass, and awesome. I love how he is using the Lock Seeds to have people join Team Baron. Micchi is totally awesome, and relatable, I love how he got his belt and had the hidden ferocity inside him and showing he is more than this shy kid. Also liked the Zangetsu vs Gaim fight that was cool. Takatora is definitely dark, I am intrigued to see where he goes. I like that Kota is taking this more seriously and hopefully this will be his only time he's afraid like this and not happening later in the series. Loving this series a lot. I don't know if I like Baron or Ryugen more but they are both totally awesome!

It was as good as ever.

P.S. I freaking love Zangetsu.

Another good episode. Not much to say that hasn't been said already. Definite highlights for me were the Gaim and Zangetsu fight and Micchi using his potential future status to strong arm Sid into giving him a driver.

The question is, who is Sid? He seems to be a mysterious figure even to Yggdrasil. Maybe he's like Shroud from W?
