They will probably show or hint at the "flask" in the next 5-10 episodes, at least indirectly, along with the first appearance of Glion (which I think is the Rose Woman/Niram/upper-mid tier villain of the story).

The "flask" could potentially be something that can greatly disturb the balance of the natural order. Rinne mentioned in episode 2 that alchemy can create something out of nothing or create life out of death. I think this may be the reason why Atropos attempts to psychologically manipulate Rinne in this episode. Perhaps she is planting a seed of doubt into Rinne's mind with the final goal to make Rinne defect to their side by showing that their use of alchemy (via the "flask") can even resurrect the dead, a very serious violation of the natural order. This could be an interesting plot, because a heroine rarely defects to the villain's side. If I remember correctly, the last time it happened was in Fourze episodes 43-44.

Yes. That's why I said that it's too early. Kyoto field trip episodes are usually written as breather mid-season episodes, like W did in episodes 29-30 (the most absurdly funny W episodes) or Fourze did right after Cosmic States' debut in episodes 31-32.

I'd rather see EnergyMaru or other new forms in actual suits (not CGI Wild Modes!). So far, they've shown 7 base forms in 8 episodes. Still very far from the rumored 46 base forms, not to mention super forms and final form. Even if they plan to allocate 10 base forms to side story-/video game-/toy-exclusive appearances, they still need to show 29 forms in the series. Gosh, this starts to feel like an uphill battle. I'm not sure if I can find any competent writer that can achieve this seemingly improbable feat while maintaining coherence in the story.

Who the heck in their right, sane mind decide to put 50 forms in a 50 episode series? This can negatively impact the quality of the story in a very bad way.
