So I know Kanzaki invented the Rider battles and is basically the ruler of the mirror monsters and all, but he can essentially just change the rules however he wants? And just take away Rider powers...? That doesn't bode well...

I was suspicious of Asakura's sincerity when he told Reiko about his brother, but I didn't think he was the trickster type. But haha no, he's just fucking crazy and killed his brother. What a piece of shit.

But man, Ryuki, Knight, and Zolda teaming up at the end was pretty awesome. The monster of week was...pretty pointless. But them teaming up against Ouja was cool.

But uh....Ouja captured Raia's monster. Okay...so he had another card, but...holy shit he can combine them?! Whaaaaat?! Did Kanzaki just cheat and give Asakura the most overpowered cards imaginable.

Alright, a Kitaoka focused episode. I like that Goro has to take up his lawyer job now that he's injured. Does he even have any law schooling? Well, Goro's pretty competent, I'm sure he can handle it.

Shinji's pretty much given up on reforming Asakura, so he's decided to try with Kitaoka. Ren somehow thinks reforming Kitaoka is even more difficult than reforming Asakura, an unrepentant murderer. Alright, Ren.

Kitaoka does seem to slightly put Shinji's words about remembering the reason he became a rider in the first place. Them allying to team up against that monster was a pretty fun fight. IT was kinda weird.

Partially because, uh...maybe I forgot how these cards work, but how does Shinji using Kitaoka's cards let only Kitaoka use the weapons they produced? I don't even know, it was weird...

And Shinji just used Kitaoka's contract monster as a shield and it didn't seem to mind. Everyone was right. Magnugiga really just doesn't give a shit about anything.
