Ryuki 10: Okay, I'm done watching Ryuki until I get the Zolda Figuart.

He may be my favourite character. That arc was really, really damn good. I did not see the end coming. I thought maybe they'd use the ransom money to pay the girl's mother's hospital bills. I did not see Zolda stepping up to do that.

I mean, I really, really liked that arc. Everything about Zolda from his own illness to his comfortable lifestyle to his motivations for being a rider. He's simultainiously living life to the fullest while he can and not letting anyone stop him, yet still holds on to the fleeting hope of survival and fights for it. All while being a fairly intricate character. It would have been so easy to just keep him a dispicable rat, but instead he did something completely out of the blue but totally in-line with the character.

To a lesser extent I'm totally into Gorou. He's subdued, almost creepy, with an appearence that suggests some kind of street thug. Instead he's polite, kind, loyal, but not blindly so. He's rreally intriguing. I like Ryuki, Knight's okay, Scissors was a nobody, but if Zolda and his sidekick are a sign of things to come, I'm really gonna like this show.

BTW, every scene with Ryuki was pure comedy. Especially Knight getting on his case and increasing the debt owed more and more. I like those two togther more than individually.
