I do like how Swimmer and Archer is essentially a callback to Pirate Train in terms of loose themes. I also like how they set up the joke of Sougo not being good at physics in Episode 1 with Tsukuyomi's exposition to pay off on it with Sougo's equations being him not understanding anything.

Also even Zi-O knows Sento and Ryuga have a thing for each other, that whole, "Build! Cross-Z! Best Match!" and "I feel oddly jealous" had me cracking up.

There are just some nice little quirks in this episode with the Build Cast, since I wasn't expecting too much since these guys were gonna be Sougo's first swing at things at the end of the day. Sento acting like a proud parent and going over and telling Sougo what to do was also great.

But let me tell you, Woz is probably my favorite part of this show right now. He's Zi-O's hype man, witnessing the birth of his favorite King, and just pops up out of nowhere. I love him, also he does a story time for the recap in front of a repainted Cronus Clock, that's also pretty great.

And lastly, I love how this show does show that not even Geiz is perfect despite him wanting the best for the future. Because it's implied he's run into the Time Jackers and Another Riders on multiple occasions, but chose to blow them off for trying to kill Sougo.

Overall this series so far is a bit messy, but it's a fun kind of messy.
