[Switchblade]

I liked it. The episode was pretty superfluous to the overall story, but it worked well as a small epilogue and a lot of the character moments still managed to carry some emotional weight.

I especially liked Kouta and Mai's last messages at the end before they left for good (until the Movie War). If I had any one wish for this episode it would have been to have Junouchi come back in during that final fight to help out, although I think that would've lessened the emotional impact of Kouta and Micchy fighting together as allies one last time. It would've been nice, though, if Junouchi getting the last belt and Lock Seed to fight on for Hase didn't just end in him getting curbstomped.
