The Engine Blade is one of my favorite Kamen Rider weapons, and maybe 40-50% of why I think Accel is such a cool suit. The way show establishes an episode in advance that the Engine Blade is this massive, inhuman weapon that chews through concrete and obliterates masonry... all so that Accel can swing it effortlessly? Such a cool setup. I love that big dumb sword!

Oh, sure, it makes perfect sense why Ryubei and Saeko are keen for Wakana to step up and join the family business -- Ryubei for unity, Saeko for a chance to get Wakana under her thumb -- but I'm not sure these two episodes bother to give equal weight to Wakana's reluctance, especially considering how much of a factor it's been in the last half-dozen episodes.
