Vice should be lumped in here, though, because my point was that Ikki's teamwork with Vice proves that not hiding parts of yourself -- in the way Daiji does -- leads to a better outcome. Ikki's stronger for having Vice in his life.

The real lesson of the Kagerou storyline is to be enough of a petulant little shit that someone gives you a DX toy.

I just need a P-Bandai item with voice lines from one of the characters, which I?m not exactly spoiled for choice on) and the Zi-O based Brachio Genome really got me hyped to watch.

It's a neat toy! And thanks for the fun skit!

It's not a great look, them bungling the message of their first big storyline. I'm still optimistic, though! There's such a unique character dynamic between the inner demons and the Igarashi family and Happy Spa and Fenix... I feel like there's a ton of potential.
