The instant I started typing that analogy, I just had this flash of Oh Akiba's Got Thoughts On This.

Tachibana's pizza of choice is, of course, None Pizza With Left Beef.

Oh for sure, hopefully my initial post didn't come across too judgmental! If other people enjoy that kind of thing, I don't intend to disparage anyone for it, it just isn't my thing. I certainly think that fans all having such different interests and priorities in what they want from stories is ultimately to the benefit of everyone, since it allows so many different types of conversations and gives us all new and valuable perspectives.

"Who is the secondary Rider of Blade" is one of those discussions that's interesting at first, but I've been in this fandom long enough to know it just ends up going round and round in circles, and poor Leangle is once again left out of it all.

Leangle eats pizza with black food dye in, btw, for that extra bit of edginess.

Takumi's pizza is covered in jalapenos and red pepper flakes because Mari is being passive aggressive again.

For sure! There are so many parts of this forum that I don't have any real engagement with, but I'm always happy that they exist for the fans that need them. It's great.

Mutsuki takes a slice of whatever someone else ordered, puts a ton of hot sauce on it to prove how strong he is, and then throws it away after one bite because his mouth hurts too much.

It's like, if we can't send a Blade thread off with dumb jokes and memes, why did we even have a Blade thread?

Mari is the only member of Team Faiz who gets to choose the pizza, because Kusaka stares down anyone who objects to her choice, so Takumi just goes over to Team Orphnoch and Yuuji lets him get whatever he wants.

I said Leangle! As the first post!!

Probably the part where no one's seen Hajime was made up as a mystery, why something new, Darkroaches are coming and swarming the city. Turns out at the end, it's from Joker winning the Battle Fight, and his way of ending the world is shown as Joker swarming Darkroaches. So the end the world from Joker's part is actually progressive, and it probably lowers the stakes (other than emotional attachment Kenzaki has with Hajime), because the "end the world" process can still be halted, though not by keep attacking Darkroaches as they're seemingly endless, but by dealing with Joker. The effort is about finding the source of the Darkroaches, which turns out to be Hajime.

So because of the stakes being higher here, you want for Kenzaki not to give blind optimism and to acknowledge the current situation (but still making an effort to stop this, ofc)? Probably it'd be a sight to see if Kenzaki failed to save some people here due to being overwhelmed by the Darkroaches' numbers (like previous series giving monster bodycounts), and how he reacts to it.

And I don't think if the attack connects, Kenzaki would be able to do so anyway. It's only a base form Blade, and Joker was matched with Blade King form before.

The cast probably made a mistake in this episode, not realizing their plan previously, like Mutsuki unsealing Shima, or for worse one, Tachibana unsealing Human Undead (but he still went to seal Kanai anyway), as seen here, via Battle Fight mechanic, it's too late, that after the Battle Fight is over, you can't unseal other Undeads anymore (nerf to Leangle too!), and with it being Joker, the worst outcome occurs (something that even Kanai didn't want to happen). And Nozomi, be mindful of the situation right now... something much more important has to be dealt with.

Yeah, my point was comparing Tachibana's plan, to Mutsuki's plan, which will give better outcome, due to nothing at loss, just unseal Shima, Joker won't win and Hajime remains.

Unfortunately as I've said, the mindset of believing in rehabilitation is seen as naive, not only by some in-universe characters but also the audience (that shit on ideal heroes like Kenzaki giving a chance to someone like Joker as stupid). And for Amane that's more of my point ("even one" is a minimum, it can be more like hers and Hajime's), her mom obviously cares for her as her daughter (probably in wrong way to not reprimand her), and the cast would have standard decency to take care of a child. Though still, from home, to school, to future jobs, bratty behavior tends to escalate as a child grows older and manifests itself in different ways (approaching actual bad territory), Missing Ace is a bit of an escalation, becoming an actual delinquent.

Mutsuki will add you to his supporters list. You're among such honourable members as:
- Nozomi
- That spider that lives in his head
- That tiger that lives in his head
- Tachibana, maybe


Shinji keeps trying to order pizza but Ren won't let him eat it.
