Hey everyone, guess what time it is!



Time for Sougo and Geiz to pay their respects to one of the earliest and still one of the best frenemy Rider duos. I mean, who even gives two craps about the Day of Oma when Blade and Chalice are back onscreen together? Sougo's life might as well be daycare compared to how dramatic Kenzaki's is. Hajime wasn't even the only rival character in that show!

I'm running the risk of getting off-topic now, though. This was a reliably solid episode of Zi-O. Once again they go a little crazy and still manage to make it work, too, considering this Blade-themed episode also had Diend thrown in the mix. Everything is balanced out well and on top of all of that, we also get the first solid bit of backstory for Woz in the whole series.

I see lots of people spend time wondering what Ridewatches are, but frankly the thing about this show's setting that's always had me most concerned is what exactly Oma Zi-O did on a regular day. Like, why does Woz want this guy to exist so bad? I still don't know, but having his beef with Geiz given an explanation finally gives me some hope that by the end of the show, we might actually figure that out.

Of course, at this exact moment, I'm mostly just concerned about how they're going to pay off all the Blade stuff next episode.
