I gotta be honest, I entirely forgot that Ikki was losing his memories until this episode dredged it back up again. The fact is handled with so little consistency and weight, on top of the show trying to juggle 50 other things, that it just completely fell by the wayside. It feels a bit emblematic of Revice as a whole.


I do still rather like Daiji's ridiculous mental breakdown across these episode though. The dude is just so unable to cope with everything, and even the show itself is calling him out for how ridiculous he is being. It's painful, but in a good way? Definitely awkward at parts, I feel like the whole "You killed Akemi" part could be entirely left out, since it feels so forced. The bit of the episode with Hikaru was... a nice idea in concept, even if once again it is a little hard to take the implementation serious since they haven't leaned into the fake family thing for a long while. I keep thinking this, but Revice simply tries to do too much. I feel like they cram enough concepts into the show to create two entirely different shows!
