Hey, not fair Die! This one was a Keiichi Hasegawa script! He's the Saber writer people like, I think!

But uh yeah, the Avalon plotline in here is weird. Gloriously weird, in my opinion, of course. Like, I honestly think there's something beautiful in the insane way early Saber stuff like this plays out, but like, I can't put it into words very well. At least not off the top of my head. Maybe Kamen Rider Saber just isn't a show that can be fully enjoyed by an ordinary Homo sapiens, maybe Ishida's gorgeous visuals just elevate the material that much for me. It's hard to blame you for feeling the way you do about an episode like this, Die, but at the same time, I feel like you are underestimating the show's storytelling. It's definitely doing the things you're asking for too, it's just... I mean, good luck trying to untangle that from the things that genuinely aren't without the benefit of hindsight. (I still have no idea what the heck that monster Touma is fighting at the end is supposed to be??? I guess "a trial" is good enough???)
