-The black and white flashbacks are so tacky. Unnecessarily so. Speaking of, these weren't the best flashbacks. Sid's in particular was kinda random and the other two meetings weren't particularly exciting either.

-Why does Takatora's Driver not have the right sounds? Seriously, I don't even know what that was but it sure wasn't "Soiya!" Weird.

Anyway, Duke Gaiden wasn't terrible or anything, just kind of...uninteresting. I don't really feel like it offered a whole lot.

-Knuckle's opens with a shoehorned romantic interest. Jeez. Yeah, Gaim Gaiden, Zangetsu's wasn't enough. I mean, thankfully they don't focus on her that much, but it's still totally unnecessary. There really isn't anything she did that other members of the cast couldn't have done.

-"Let's move Zack to New York! So we can make him go back to Japan after three minutes! Yeah!"

-Man Mitchy must have pulled that briefcase from Helfheim or something. Also, where did he come from. Also, why aren't the Kureshimas fighting against these guys again?

-Well that's stupid. Jimber Marron has kind of a Ryugen Yomi thing going on and they didn't bother repainting the back of the helmet. Looks dumb.

--D...did they just kill Zack? For this crap gaiden? It's unclear, but the fact that the possibility is even there is dumb.

Man...Knucle Gaiden is just kinda pretty dumb.
