Yeah, the fact that Cosmic Rust Form transforms Deneb into a gun (who can't give out candy or change back right away!) pretty much precludes, like, Emotionally Scoured Vega Form, with Commiserating Shoulder Guns or whatever. There's always the hope that SIC will surprise us with a design! It would probably be hilariously tragic!

It's such a delight that, for Kai's philosophical discussion, he picked the absolute best example of how the world can be approved without someone in it (Yuuto, a person that no one but Deneb wants to get along with), but he applied that argument to literally the least receptive audience in Ryotaro. It moves the argument from Right And Wrong to Is Anyone Being Harmed. It really clarifies the difference between Yuuto's horrifying pragmatism and Ryotaro's hardfought optimism.

While I'm okay with the idea of the Imagin singing along in principle, the execution here just felt off-putting to me. The instrumentation's change to a more aggressive, Rocking arrangement pretty much soured me on the whole experience, and the goofiness of the contributing Imagin was the extra twist of the knife.
