Expanding on the video game motif, we're introduced to the world's equivalent of EXP, the Kibi Point system, which is named after the Kibi Dango from the original tale of Momotarou. Kaito monitors the non-red Donbrothers' KP, which they can spend on various stat increases. This might be the source of Tarou's unusual perfection at everything he does, as Kijino attempts to emulate him by spending his KP to become more competent at work and impress Miho.

But Kijino is so concerned with how people feel about him that he neglects his own feelings. Tarou bluntly asks, "Kijino Tsuyoshi, are you okay?", worried that he's relying too much on the power of the Kibi Point system to compensate for his insecurity and sacrificing his happiness to appear cooler. Miho can see it as well, since Kijino loses the kindness of his usual self. Tarou knows the price of being perfect, isolating yourself from others who feel inferior to you. He doesn't want his friends to have to experience that loneliness.

Having spent some KP in this episode, Kijino now has the lowest amount. Saruhara has more than Inuzuka, which makes me think that Inuzuka might have spent some to increase his Law Evasion stat. Saruhara's dislike of transactions means he probably doesn't have any desire to spend his KP on frivolous things, instead choosing to accumulate them so he can leave Donbrothers. That leaves Kito with the most, which is consistent with her being the third member of the team, but I feel like she might spend some to increase her Manga stat, in desperation to surpass First Love Hero and restore her reputation.

I feel your pain, dude. I'm in two minds about Ryusoulger Avatar Changes. I love Ryusoulger. But I hate that I'm reflexively cringing everytime I see "Yo! Dinoknight Sentai!" on my screen. I miss TV-Nihon.

I think Kijibrother's Avatar Changes giving him a female body adds to his gimmick, since the fact that he can only become pink means all of his Avatar Changes are female.

I personally think DonBrothers characters more interesting than Revice characters.

DonBrothers really reminds me of some 2000s Super Sentai Series.

With the exception of George, Hiromi (who isn't even present anymore), Yukimi, Genta (also not present) and Revice themselves, I agree that the Donbrothers characters are more interesting. I expected no less from the master writer of complex characters, Inoue Toshiki.
