Interesting how polarizing this episode seems to be, personally I really liked this one. Of course, Sakura and Aguilera have long been some of the most interesting characters in the show for me, so I always enjoy episodes focused on them. I really enjoyed the whole conflict between what is righteous and what is the right thing to do, it was a very personal conflict that felt very classically "Kamen Rider" to me. I'm honestly glad Ikki didn't hijack the episode and "save" Aquilera, but he still had some good moments, from his interaction with Vice and the photograph to how his loss of memories related to the main conflict. Heck, even Daiji had some interesting build up! Looking at the next episode preview and judging by how this episode went, it seems likely that Jeanne is going to bring Aquilera closure by killing her, which at this point is probably the only appropriate choice. I hope Tamaki is there to watch just so the poor dude can get some closure though.
