I never thought I'd see the day Specter would use the Edison Damashii again.

To be fair, it was such a blink-and-you'll-miss it moment that it's still kind of a crappy deal.

Still, now Makoto has used Edison as many times as Takeru has used Beethoven. That's kinda fucked. For both.

Anyway, man. Kiwami brought up in the last episode's discussion that the show wouldn't have the guts to take Gazai Ganma on as a secondary character/house Ganma, because obviously he was going to die in this one. The possibility they would do this never even crossed my mind, because come on, he was totally gonna die this episode. It's kind of an asspull, but I guess we've got surprises all around. We've got ourselves a house Ganma. Of course, whether this is really a good thing in the long term (and if it will stick, I guess) remains to be seen. If he just ends up rounding off the annoying group with Akari and Onari it may get kind of obnoxious, but for now hey yeah Gazai Ganma.

It was a fine episode, anyway. The scene after Gazai's sacrifice was pretty nice. Even if his survival afterwards is really pretty asspully.

What I find odd is Toucon Robin Hood wasn't used in this episode, and thus, not in this month of episodes. That's odd, considering it was in scans. Toei's site doesn't show him in the preview for next episode either (which I think it would since Toucon Benkei and Toucon Musashi were the cover photos in their episodes), so...that's weird. Episode 22, then, or...?
