If I hadn't watched Blade, I would have no idea that this wasn't an original plot. That's sarcasm on my part.

I think this is one of those few episodes where the exposition is so thick they have to have one to further deploy the drama parachutes. They need to compound Mitsuzane's Wile Coyote I'm gonna catch Kouta because I'm Krazy for Kouta mindset, Kouta's I'm gonna save them all even though I don't have a clue character, Mai's I wanna keep dancing because my town is a s#@!#hole otherwise delusions, Kaito's irritating 'I wanna have powah but even though Kouta has the cool silver armor and gun and stuff I still want powah' nonsense, and Ryoumas' my research is more important than actual fact blustering. The only one that actually made sense was plot deployment Oren, and that's saying something.

Oh, and ultimately, I'm guessing one of the writers writes a lot of doujinshi because the whole Mai/Kaito and Minato/Kaito triangle of whatever is way too overcomplicated. That's why.....that's why......

I still think as a moving ahead thing, the episode was okay, but I have to agree with a lot of you that this seems plodding by comparison.

I haven't seen a slope so slippery since Light Yagami got the Death Note.

blade i get but why assassins creed?

Kouta's sister is kind of horrible...

Hey, it's not like she got in a rocket ship and flew away while laughing dressed like a lemon.

The English speaking actor was incredibly over the top. Was he trying to act or did the director told him to over act? I never laugh this hard at over the top acting since Dungeons and Dragons.

The fact that all the fruits of legend are Helheim's fruit similar to Assassins Creed and Peices of Eden.

He apparently took lessons from the Rita Repulsa School of Acting :lol

That would have been hilarious, though.

She really is, its not like she didn't even know he was out there, she literately saw him henshined in the first or second episode. Her response was welp I'm out of here, seeya! *leaves a note on the floor rather than the table or door.* Also dear god the American and or British guy's acting was so bad it made me laugh.
