Okay!

Considering all the events leading up to the latest episode, with Gaim and Baron looking more and more to be on the same team, did you ever think the end result would be what they're hinting at - which is Gaim, Ryugen, and Zangetsu against Baron, Sigurd, Duke, and Marika? With Bravo, Gridon, and Knuckle as free agents, more or less?

I honestly didn't see it coming. I thought Baron was played up as the opposite of Gaim only for it to be revealed he's not the greater enemy - I didn't expect it to come full circle and now reveal that Baron *IS* the greater enemy, and Gaim will have to face off against Baron in order to prevent Hellheim from conquering the Earth.

Just crazy. CRAZY I TELL YOU.

Love this show.

NOTE: Yes, I know a lot is speculation. However, with Baron stating that he'd rather let Helheim invade the Earth in order to wipe out the weak, and having Duke, Sigurd, and Marika basically say they are of the same mind ... and for Zangetsu and Gaim to finally come to an understanding and be, seemingly, on the same side?

That's like taking the secondary rider (Baron) who is almost always the anti-hero ally and turning him in to the villain, and taking the villain (Zangetsu) and turning him in to the anti-hero.

Granted - Baron may turn down the offer next ep. But it seems doubtful, as they all want the same thing.

I don't know if I'd call the nuts and the Durian "free agents". Bravo maybe, but Knuckle seems to be on Gaim's side, though his focus has been pretty minuscule. Junouichi would probably just join the strongest team, if he could get away from Bravo.
Though really, how do we know Baron will just join the Energy Riders? How do we know Micchi will just stay with Takatora? How do we know anything about Knuckle?

This was one of the greatest surprises I've seen from the show so far.

VERY interested to see where it goes. If in fact it isn't an act and Kaitou is seriously going through with this, then my hat will eternally be off to Urobutchi.

This makes a whole lot of since.

I am officially done trying to guess where this show will go.

I really wonder about Micchi's loyalty. The guy seems as dark as Kaito. Knuckle, I feel like he will just join Kouta. Bravo and Gridon, they can get are by Invess for all I care. But I do think the energy riders are gonna turn out to be something

Ya we now know to just stop the speculations and just see where it goes from here.

Can you see this future episode?

Baron's Energy Arms against Gaim's Energy Arms. Gaim is losing. But before Baron can do the final blow, a giant fist knocks him to the ground. It's Knuckle. He gives a speech to Baron - "How can you do this? How can you turn on everyone you knew, everyone who cared about you?"

"Such an emotion is a sign of weakness - you're just as weak as this pathetic loser."

And Kaito kills Zack, his second in command dance partner.

Gaim, enraged, unlocks the Kachidoki Lock Seed (...somehow). Turns in to Kachidoki Arms, beats the snot of Baron, but lets him live.

"Destroying you will only bring you what you want. I want you to live, to see me ruin your plans and to save the world".

So much potential!

This guy's got the right idea.

I can see most of this happening, but I highly doubt Zack's going to bite the bullet. How and when Kachhidoki will be unlocked will be something of great interest when it does come around though.

I also want to see how Baron gets his Energy form seeing as he's pretty buddy buddy with most of the Energy Rider crew these days, but that could change very soon.
