He was very philosophical about the human condition for someone who just wanted to breed his own devil farm.

Uh.... Nope, that's all I got. See ya, Gif.

Same here. Sometimes I get sentimental when a season's about to end, but Revice? Not so much.

I agree. Once Storious actually reveals his backstory and motivation, he's definitely appropriate as the final villain and a contrast to Touma. Like, yeah, I think a little more foreshadowing would've been nice, but even his lack of grief over his friends' deaths could be a sign, as he was already so deep in nihilistic despair that he saw their deaths as inevitable and not worth crying about.

I feel like Hikaru was just warming the bench for Tamaki to become the true Over Demons. After weakening Akaishi enough for Ultimate Revice to deal the coup de grace, he had nothing left to prove to Tasuke. While he's still a meh character, I hope people can give him a little respect now, since it's clear that he considers Tamaki's feelings and trusts him as a successor, when nobody else saw his potential. #NiceHikaru (I don't expect that to trend though)

#NiceTamaki as well! Being a Rider suits him. I'm glad that Aguilera actually acknowledged him here and even treated him as an equal in combat. I wish he didn't have to share his big debut with a new form for Jeanne that I don't care about, but he totally held his own as Over Demons and I'm proud of him.

Now that you mention it, yeah, it's totally weird that Aguilera doesn't have any parting words to Gif. I'm not exactly surprised though, considering the show's record of focusing on the Igarashis at others' expense.
