[Leo Novum]

Finally, a coherent reason for Katsuragi Takumi to leave Faust. I didn't like the explanation of him (Katsuragi) getting a change of heart out of nowhere. This explanation of Takumi sensibly trying to destroy both Evols (Isurugi and Banjou) is a lot more palatable. Although Takumi was really stupid to literally invite his target to his house and then try to kill him. Perhaps he mistakenly thought that he could take Stalk out using the more powerful BuildDriver? The Transteam System is shown to keep the Hazard Level fixed so Takumi probably thought he could out-Hazard Stalk?

On a side note, the fact that Takumi was ready to use the BuildDriver means that he had already doused himself with Nebula Gas. That means Katsuragi Takumi willingly subjected himself to a procedure that had a chance of either killing him (Kasumi) or turning him into a mindless monster (SMASH). Takumi really underwent a personality change after a second dosage of Nebula Gas, didn't he?

But then again, both Takumi and Sento share a lot of similarities. Both are egotistical geniuses who aren't afraid to take risks. The difference is that Takumi is overly arrogant, so much so that he thinks he can take on Stalk and yet can be easily duped. Sento, on the other hand, is capable of deceiving and manipulating people to a frighteningly good degree. Furthermore, Takumi was known as the Devil's Scientist who experimented on people with sadistic glee while Sento is a kind soul whose heart broke after accidentally murdering an enemy combatant.

There was no reason for me to post this. I just felt like it.

By the way, there was a lot of fire in this episode. Real fire, I think.
