For a middle-of-the-road episode, they also manage to keep both Kenzaki and Hajime relatable, despite a) the enormous stakes at the end of the episode, and b) they just 1000% do not like each other. Hajime doesn't think humanity has much to recommend it, outside some adorable children (and his guilt?), and Kenzaki thinks this brooding creep is totally hiding something. That all gets way more pertinent as they have to somehow work together despite still feeling their feelings. It makes for a very fun dynamic at the end, with Hajime willing to endure Kenzaki's presence to save Amane, and Kenzaki starting to fill in enough blanks on what Hajime's hiding to trust that he can save Amane.

They're a pretty interesting pair of Riders, so far!

And by inexplicable, I mean that Spotify has pointed out every year since I got an account that the Blade soundtrack is one of my most-listened-to albums

God only knows how judgmental Apple Music is going to be for me listening to the Phase 2 Heisei opening themes so often this year. It's a lot of BE THE ONE and SURPRISE DRIVE! No regrets, though!
