Hey everyone, guess what time it is!



Well, it's definitely NOT time for me to pass up the chance for another Ghost-related screencap. Better luck next week, Tsukasa!

This episode was pretty great. The Gaim and Wizard episodes still excelled more in certain areas (and are still my favorites so far), but this arc was probably the most overall solid Zi-O has had thus far. Decade's arrival adds all kinds of intrigue to the plot, the Legend Rider stuff was handled so well it's almost inexplicable, and they pulled off balancing both those elements so neither one overshadows the other.

There are a few nitpicks I have though. Mostly very minor things that, at least according to Sento, I shouldn't be worried about, but still. The thing that bothered me most was definitely Takeru explaining he can see Sougo because he has the Ghost Ridewatch, which raises questions about why Geiz can't. Then there's the bits of writing that just seem a bit... off, like Makoto showing up abruptly, which would be something that bothered me... if it were anyone but Makoto. That guy's such a bro it honestly seems plausible to me that he just has some kind of sixth sense to show up whenever Takeru needs help.

Needless to say, I expect a few hiccups like that in any given episode of Zi-O at this point, so none of it is enough to ruin the episode, which was, as usual, extremely fun.
