So this is the world of Episode 41....!

-Oma Zi-O essientally going "No Drive? Perish then." feels a bit humorous to me. In a fight where both sides are totally OP, such a reason for the power gap feels almost like 2 kids on the playground roleplaying a fight, trying to one-up each other with silly reasons why the other should lose ("Nuh-uh, You didn't get Drive on your own so it doesn't count!" or something like that)

-I kinda see what they were doing with Hiryuu in his original storyline (A bit messily exceuted, but understandable!) but this is.....a little hard to wrap the brain around. Feeling Sougo's words of advice were humilating and coming from a place that ultimately doesn't quite get his struggle..? Sure, I can understand that. I fail to see why going for a far more targeted approach that would hurt Sougo isn't a better option than just setting the world aflame? (What do I know, maybe the TJs gassed him up to thinking general destruction is the best option)

-I know we're all talking about Geiz and Tsuku and how much Sougo not having his besties around must suck, but can we talk about Woz? It'd probably hurt a lot for one of the people who actually remembers everything to just go "Yeah I don't fuck with you anymore, sorry! :-)" . It's Woz's whole thing to watch over history so jumping to the guy who'll be the next overlord seems like a logical step, sure, but not a even a crumb of fondness for your former lord? How cold.....

-It's good to Tsukasa doing his thing, dishing out advice in a way that gets you moving but also pisses you off a bit? After a series of eh-ish appearances, it's nice that this episode feels like it knows how to properly insert Tsukasa in Zi-O's narrative without being a glorifed "get to the next plotpoint" button.
