[Switchblade]

Now here's an episode I've been looking forward to. Tsurugi is one of my favorite characters on the show, too. I always found that kind of weird, given how I don't care much for his shtick here. Tendou is already such a force of nature that it feels weird to give him an equal rival. Granted it leads to a fun montage and some great reactions from Hiyori, but I didn't think a lot of him at first. That changes pretty quickly, though, once we get more into what his specific deal is. Some of my favorite moments from the show are going to involve Tsurugi and I'm excited to see them again.

Also, can I just say how much I love Tendou volunteering to play soccer only if he can be the entire team. This is the version of cocky Tendou that I love.

Tsurugi's house, by the way, is a popular filming location for tokusatsu. I always think of it as the Garo house because it was featured prominently in a fight scene from one of the Garo series (I want to say Makai Senki).

I definitely prefer the designs on the Husky Forms, lately.

I love how gaudy his Masked Form looks. It's always felt like some long lost piece from a short-lived 90s action figure line. Hoses? Check. Visor? Check. Neon orange that doesn't mesh with any other color on it? Check.
