[DreadBringer]

The actual Kirito of Geats actually shows up.

It's already teased before that the consequences of Keiwa's wish would be the bad people screwing things up, but I've always been a someone who think that it's not the evil in someone that allows, but the power, so it can only be done when they got the power to act on their ideals such as being a Rider, though at least outside of some baseball bat wielding humans, there are evil Riders wreaking havoc too, which ofc would be a huge threat to humans. Though honestly I'm rather confused why the world immediately turn hellish from these revived people, because gangs starting up shit is something that isn't limited to Keiwa's wish, though ofc dunno how like, they can keep the Rider powers to wreak havoc, can be either due to restoring them right the time they died in DGP, or Beroba doing something with it by her announcing the game.

Otherwise, this is also done as a form of karma for Keiwa regarding his heel turn, that he didn't get what he wanted after achieving it, where as Jit said, he's the one who brought back piece of shits like Kirito Asari a.k.a Turbon, thus he played a hand in his family's second loss. Though this is of course the explanation to keep him in a dark role for a while, though he's in the manipulated role again, by having him following anyone else says like Jit telling him to defeat Geats, the one Jit blames for this situation, or Kekera and Beroba (who now.. has some approval for him) confirming what Jit says, so that he can remake/edit wishes as he like.

Other than karma, so this'd be what's similar to Aruto again, where their dark turn caused disastrous consequence of the Gang Riders terror for Keiwa, and the Ark/Humagear war for Aruto due to his and Horobi's hatred. Dunno what's the part of the wrong of the wish bringing misery for others Keiwa got called out for before here though, as he asked Tsumuri to grant it right away. Wonder if the Gang Riders answering to the mightiest in Bujin Sword's quick defeat of Tarbon, can mean a hope that Keiwa can control them to stop the chaos (depending on how much he cares...).

Michi seems to be closer to redemption (not counting him being on Geats' side, he just picks the same opponents) by pulling one of gang Rider member attacking someone. The human members are obviously not much of a threat to the Riders, especially Geats IX, though Geats IX would have difficulty to subdue them without killing them, but he'd be still safe that he can tank anything they throw, albeit Buffa that has Zombie would need effort to fight Tarbon, who does put some fight to him with Mace, only a regular Raise Buckle to Zombie's Large one.

Jit seems to still have a little care for the audience, to create bad endings as a part of the Game Master job, as there can be a fan of anything, like schadenfreude. That'd be something ridiculous in Win's eyes. Karma also hits Daichi, who lost the memories he collected due to the remade world, while ending up hospitalized. Even he too is more subdued when Michinaga visits him to curse him, but still vows to keep his tree that symbolizes his happiness. Is it a step for his redemption for Michi to realize that death doesn't do any good to happiness, of which what should be realized is what Michi caused over the series too even for good intentions.

As the preview of the next episode states that he's working on atonement by being the one who knock Tycoon to his senses... after his disappointment to him joining the gangs in the news. I'd really wish that they didn't set up Buffa did nothing wrong stuff Ace pulled in ep. 36, or rectifying that with continuing with the part of Sara hallucination criticizing him more objectively. And don't want for Bujin Sword to be made suddenly weak against base Zombie form, more hoping that it can be a return for his Jamashin powers, if not Maou debut.

The Kousei stuff is started by Neon helping him from Tarbon... and now it's shown Neon knows the circumstances between her creation, that she feels responsible for the taken happiness and should preserve at least as much of the taken happiness for the wish to create her. Though it's true that she has been genuine in helping others, it feels sudden to establish Kurama family as a whole as having a responsibility to protect the world... since when, the parents all only cared about expanding the corporation in differing ways.

I guess at least thie episode emphasizes the parents being on the wrong and also being inspired by Neon helping Kousei despite all of that. The episode had Kousei describing Neon as finding true love by herself after being deprived of it, in a caring heart for others - her story seems to be concluding soon. Kousei not wanting to forget about Akari's death is depicted as him feeling for Neon deep down, both by Neon to describe it as remembering the lost love especially by carrying flowers, and Irumi who stated that by her claim of loving both daughter.... that's the problem of abusive parents though, to them, they ARE showing their love to their children, but it's predicated on you being what they want you to be or what you can do for them, making them feel that there's nothing wrong in them, justifying their actions while they hurt their child and keep them trapped in your situation.

A complaint also would be how Neon is played up like a non-fighter supporting ladies from previous series, in having the kidnapper, Kazuo Numabukuro a.k.a Brali just catch her again, as if there are no change from her being a small child to a DGP finalist... and only play up her being strong mentally in her keeping her resilience when kidnapped... when again, she's a DGP finalist, especially with next week of her likely beating up the skilled Beroba. With Beroba being the one behind this plan, they can have her take advantage of her weakness of not being a Rider by cornering her as Premium Beroba so she can't defend herself properly, or even perhaps also Neon trying to fight off Brali (as Rider) for a while before her human weakness catches up, rather than just have Kazuo show up untransformed and capture her without much effort.

Kousei decides to listen to both Neon nad Irumi's explanations and act on his feelings for Neon and redeem his failures to Akari by joining Ace's DGP, as Gya-Go to get the power to confront Kazuo instead of paying the ransom. Fantasy is used by Gya-Go and, despite it being a final form Buckle, Gya-Go's inexperience had Brali still putting up a good fight. And I guess Fantasy's power potential isn't physical if Gya-Go can't take much hits from Riders with regular Buckles.... making Fantasy look bad for now. And Beroba, fighting due to the rage of her fun being ruined, is no question, also the first time of her fighitng untransformed by kicking Gya-Go away, expected her to crush the flowers beneath her boot (which Masamune did in Ex-Aid) when taunting Neon.
