Also, I bet Genius Gamer M would have cleared the Rider Battle by now with no continues.

Either way, Shinji would still be stuck with numerous asshole Riders that he would try and failing most of the time to redeem. And had a big deja vu with Cronus.

So scumbag/sociopathic/antihero characters has its limits eh? KR Die was praising the hell out of them in few last posts. Plus "sociopathic" goes beyond antiheroic traits, they're too evil for anti-hero tbh.

Kitaoka knows this dude for about eight seconds before he's like Ha Ha You Want To Be Friends With Shinji. Kitaoka! So great!

And eventually Ren didn't say a word at all like the Atori group at episode 9 (they needed Kitaoka for Shinji so they can't talk back to him).

It's just, Shimada has to remember it just wrong enough for the two to overlap. It seems a little belabored to me, is all. It's only for a one minute gag, it doesn't overstay its welcome, so I'm not too put out. Still, thought that bit didn't land.

So my memory blows then. Shimada bite his hand, not his arm....
