The line itself is just kind of a cool hero thing to say, and also parallels his speech from when he originally got the Kabuto Zecter back in the premiere, which I had forgotten about. The context of the scene, though, the unapologetic nature of setting up this dilemma of Mishima destroying the Hyper Zecter only to immediately use such a "cheap" way of getting out of it, I think – for better or for worse – it's about as Tendou as Tendou is ever written. I have to say, I've always been a fan in this case.

It is pretty cool, yeah! It leans a little heavy on enough Bill & Ted-style time shenanigans (This Item I Need Will Be Left By Me In The Future Even Though I Don't Have It Yet) that I felt, briefly, as confused as your average Kagami reaction shot, but I think it mostly holds together. Much like everything from 32 I didn't love, I'm trying not to sweat the details as we progress.

Still, that predetermination stuff with the Hyper Zecter helped form an ending where Tendou learned he didn't need to force events to achieve his goals, getting him to let go of the reins a bit, so I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.

And just as I'm mentioning how I'm weak against shocking returns after long absences, look what's back! Thanks for the info, and thanks for using an Ex-Aid video for context. Youhavenotbetrayedus!

I mean, the cast doesn't know about Another Tendou yet? Tendou and Kagami sure don't. They never set on eyes on him when he's out of his iron mask. Either way, it's still not a huge Hiyori moment, at least for me.

For the other thing, I don't really have anything to say about it? I think that's a valid interpretation, it's just not one I share.

I covered this a few posts back, but I sort of thought he was done? I remember seeing him in the movie and thinking Oh Right That Guy. He wasn't someone I assumed the show was aching to bring back. Boy, was I wrong.
