If you don't think people who were friends as kids, fell out of touch, and then met up as adults probably want to bone, I have several centuries worth of storytelling that's going to come as quite a shock.

I just feel like Kusaka checks off more boxes for What A Hero Should Be Like than Kaido ever could. Like, Keitaro isn't a fan of Faiz, he's a fan of heroes. Everything Kusaka does and says is, like, Generic Hero, and that's incredibly appealing to Keitaro.

That Keitaro/Takumi scene in the van is great! When Keitaro says that Takumi has a lot of positive qualities, I was like, What? At which point, when pressed, Keitaro comes up blank. So great!

It's not just any book, though! It's the collected works of a Nobel Prize-winning poet! Kaido's just lucky that Houjou wasn't packing a book by T S. Eliot, or he'd've been vaporized.

Yuji's next line to Yuka, I mean, Yuka's not to different from Yuji anyway, she only punishes bad people with her power and also wants to use her powers for good.

I think it has maybe more to do with Yuuji's firm stance to Smart Brain that he won't kill (again...), and Kaido flunking out as Faiz. Both of them were given chances and warnings, to no improvement, so now Houjou's going to take them out.
