Daiji: "Why won't you die!?"
Akaishi: "ViStamps, son! They activate in response to physical trauma. You can't hurt me, Jack."

Alright, so seriously, this was better than I was expecting, though the only thing preventing me from giving it an *(Hudram voice) excellent, * is that I feel maybe they could have done a little more with Aguilera before this arc, but overall, I do like how they ended here arc. You done me proud Tamaki!

I also kind of wish Vail wasn't just Red Vice, though I still think Vail is Revice's best villain. Though after this episode, I have a better grasp on Akaishi, in that since he's technically an ancient alien (yes, I said it) he doesn't quite understand human emotions and thusly isn't able to properly convey them (i.e., his half-humored laugh, his sarcastic nature, and facial expressions). I don't know, definitely agree I prefer Isaac over him in a way, but thinking this, I can take a little more seriously, instead of thinking "this guy has a neon sign saying, 'the villain' wherever he goes with a villain theme to boot."

Maybe it's because I don't quite trust Weekend, but I have a feeling they might run Hana through the wringer, just because she used to be a demon or something. But it was great to see some of the old Genome forms and Revice taking a bit of a backseat, and Lovecof becoming a rebellious teenager (great to see Vice hasn't forgotten he can do that ability and that it fit perfectly with the show).

Next Episode: Vail: "Vice, the pandemic's over, you can remove the mask."
