Trust me when I say the whole past and present thing is weird when it comes to actors aging. It is very much an adult circumstances do not ask questions situation.

Anyway welcome to the Swordsmen Chronicles, the Telasa Special that Saber got when it was airing. These are some fun little side stories that take place within the main story and provide a nice break of sorts. Because they're not really restricted by toy stuff and were clearly made to compliment the main series, they end up being a good set of side material to watch alongside the show since they give us stuff on our various Swordsmen who aren't Touma as well.

Now then if you asked me who my favorite, favorite Rider in Saber is. It'd be Daishinji/Slash. His role in the story, while I feel could be expanded upon more, is such an interesting one to think about. A Swordsman who can't fight anymore because he didn't heed his blades cries, to where he thrusts himself so hard into Swordsmithing so that no one else really shares his fate? It's so good! He's definitely like in my Top 5 Characters to write for my Symphogear/Saber crossover because he gets some real good stuff in this show.

And that's also not getting into how much I love Slash as a design too. It's loud, it's bright, and yet it somehow works.

Fun fact: Slash and Buster are the only two Saber Riders I have figures of, having gotten their RKF Figures when I had the chance.

As for the story... I really enjoyed the very "Dad tries to explain complex things to his Son" vibe with Ogami trying to explain why Daishinji can't henshin anymore. You got that down absolutely pat when it comes to that kind of wording. And then the hypothetical that makes Ogami just be like, "You know what, sure, Ice Cream", real nice way to end that honestly.
