[FreshToku]

Answer the question, Die. Who's cuter!?

These stretch of episodes have been doing such a good job of making Takumi's situation feel dire and miserable. Or at least, I was very much rooting for him to finally get a break from the universe. There's so much time spent where he's without his gear and without his friends, it's like the whole world is topsy-turvy and inherently not right, but that's what makes it so engaging too.

This being Faiz and how it never seems to care about what people expect, I wonder if there were viewers, whether kids or adults, who started to wonder if maybe Takumi was never going to be Faiz again, if this was actually the new status quo?! After all, it's not like the opening credits care to ever change to reflect plot developments anyway.
