[Switchblade]

Okay, so first and foremost: I had completely forgotten about Kageyama being forced to sing Tsurugi's birthday song. That was amazing. I was laughing so hard I had to pause the episode to clear my head once the scene transitioned.

Secondly, I love the moment near the end - and I watched this last night, so forgive me if I miss some details - where Kagami tells Tendou that he hasn't really learned anything from this. That he is who he is and he'd probably do it all over again. He may have a shiny new Zector with the sexiest voice since the Faiz Gear, but that doesn't change a thing about who he is. It's such a Kagami moment and it's fantastic.

As for Gatack, I actually think I like the suit more this time around than I did initially. It's certainly less dynamic than Drake or Sasword and way less stylish than TheBee, but it's still a very solid design that just works. The Masked Form is great, too - love the ostentatious shoulder cannons that are also where the Rider Form swords are hidden. Also, he's another Rider who, like Kabuto, really shouldn't be able to move his head in Masked Form if that's really how the horns fold out.

Finally, I'd just like to note that we've started reaching peak Kagami's dad here. I don't remember if he ever gets more nonsensical than the Mozart speech, but this is up there as one of his more memorably bonkers scenes.
