As expected, last week's "every Chemy has its own weight" logic goes out of the window in this episode.

Renge said @ 04:49 that she (or Sabimaru) had captured Dokkirimajin, and Rinne captured Pilets @ 06:54. So, other members of the Alchemy Academy do capture Chemies as well.

Why did Rinne use a Chemy Riser to capture Pilets? I thought one only needed a blank RCC to capture a Chemy. I think Chemyriser is a swiss Army tool that makes the capture process safer for novice alchemists.

Looks like each Chemy has its own way of testing Houtarou. If he manages to gain their trust, then he'll be able to fuse better with them.

Renge turned out to be goofier than I thought she was. She's like the JK of this show, while Sabimaru is the Tomoko. Tomoko also frequently carried an iPad around. It'd be interesting to see who could be the Ohsugi of this show. Ohsugi is my favorite comic relief in the whole Kamen Rider franchise.

Spanner channeled his inner random Orphenoch when he demanded the Gotchardiver from Houtarou. His debut was a bit too early. He should've debuted in the next episode. This episode could've been better with a cliffhanger ending. Gotchard will get the VenoMariner form next week, so I guess the DeepMariner Malgam aka Rinne's stalker will be defeated early in the next episode.

The most interesting scene is the Sisters' one @ 01:30. They were observing the MOTW's antics from afar and spoke of humans derisively. Are they humans? Or are they formerly humans? The Sisters (and their superiors) could be rogue alchemists of the ancient times that abused the power of alchemy and fused themselves with some kind of Proto-Chemies. Or could be they several victims of ancient alchemical experiments gone wrong? Sheer number of experiments end in failure, so it just makes sense that some of them resulted in unnatural creatures that defy natural order.
