The mysterious guy is Hijiri's older brother, Tsurugi. He transforms into Battery Malgam by using Raidenji, which is curiously already in card form. He must be given the Raidenji RCC by Clotho. After Lachesis was shown in episode 8 to be having Happyclover in card form, not wild form, this only increases my suspicion that the Sisters have their own stocks of Blank RCC's that are probably supplied by a mole/spy inside the AA. Back to Tsurugi, his reasoning for his intention to getting rid of Hijiri is kinda weird. It's due to the stress and burden of being a good older brother and role model for Hijiri put on him by the people around him. The poor one in this episode is Raidenji. It's managed to be separated from Tsurugi by Houtarou, only to immediately latched onto Hijiri. This makes Chemies akin to evil spirits that can jump from one person to another. So far, no grunt-type Chemies/Malgams appear. It'd be a big problem if the villain begin mass-producing generic Chemies that can be released into society like a virus and wreak havoc.

Minato's civilian attire continues to look hilariously unkempt. His Neuralyzing job is getting harder in this episode due to many people seeing their sword props flying. It's shown that his Ring can recharge the students'. And how come Minato is unable to put out the fires using his alchemical power? It looks like his power does have some kind of limitation.

Kajiki finally sees Kamen Rider in person. He even realizes that Houtarou is the guy behind the mask. Is the sentence read by Kajiki and Hijiri @ 18:03 actually referring to the Ouroboros world? Kajiki and Hijiri finally sees a UFO, that is the UFO X Chemy... and get Neuralyzed shortly thereafter. It's not a total heartbreak for Kajiki, though. At least he gets another chance to rekindle the spark and reenact the fateful encounter with Hijiri at the end of this episode. Oh, and it looks like Hopper1 is a huge (or small, haha) Kajiki fan.

The police van scene is actually taken at Toei Studio, very likely done in the same day with a similar scene from the previous episode.

Goldmechanicer looks nice. The tires on the forearms remind me of Lazer Level 1. The bike-as-armor approach reminds me of Specter Houdini Damashii. I wish this approach will be used more often on future designs. It's a very potential toyetic approach for gimmick lines. On the other hand, Hiikesrose looks very mediocre. The forearm armors are slightly modified Venomariner's, and the shoulder armors suspiciously look like its modified from Burninggorilla. C'mon Toei. It's only episode 10, and you already resort to kitbashing? Well, this is what happens when you have 50 forms in a 50-episode series. And why does Flayrose's voice sounds like a seductive woman? Haha.

Clotho secures two pieces of Jungle Malgam and Battery Malgam, and immediately captures the UFO X Chemy with a Blank RCC, which makes my suspicion in paragraph 1 even more founded. I thought the UFO X was going to be harder to capture due to being a stronger Chemy, but I was wrong. Clotho easily captures it without breaking a sweat.

The unpainted Driver (?) that Atropos is working on is clearly shown on-screen in the preview, along with her attempt to approach Rinne. Is she actually working on a Driver for Rinne? The most mysterious character so far must be Glion. His name was only mentioned once in the beginning of episode 5. I mentioned that he was probably this season's Niram or Rose Woman, but I think I was wrong. Seems like he's higher in rank than they were.

Spanner, Lachesis, and Atropos do not appear in this episode, probably to save momentum for a big reveal in the next episode that has something to do with a spy in the AA. As I've suspected, there's a spy (or spies) in the AA that supplies the Sisters with RCC's and other tools. Next episode will feature two investigators from the Alchemy Union, AA's parent organization: Licht Kugimiya, a stern man, and Shiori Harima, another cutie (yay!). Shiori Harima looks like she could be this season's Reika Shindai, while Licht Kugimiya could be this season's Toru Hojo. Who is the rumored spy? For minimum impact, it would be Minato, which was mentioned in the synopsis as a possible pseudonym. For maximum impact, ummm... I don't know. Renge? Sabimaru? Rinne? Although they're only students, as long as they can smuggle their Blank RCC's and tools to the Sisters, they should be suspected as spies as well. Or perhaps Licht or Shiori themselves? I don't think Blank RCC's and other tools are only available to the AA members. The AU members should have access to them as well, even better access than the AA members do.

Episode 11 will also be the debut of Lightingjungle, a very top-heavy form. It's still episode 10, and I've already forgotten 80% of the forms. It seems like Minato's Neuralyzer spell also has off-screen effect. Haha.
