Playing catch-up again, and I just finished the Invisible two-parter.

When I first saw these episodes way back, I was overall fine with them, but now, on rewatch, with the power of foresight, I actually don't really like them at all.

Why is it called "D Was Watching?" Up to now every title has had to do with the Memory being focused on, and not only is there no D Memory to be found, the only thing I can think D's short for is "Denden" which is a technicality.

We're also now up to the third time the phrase "It's too dangerous to use!" has been uttered. First with the Trigger Memory, then with the Fang Memory, and now with Twin Maximum. I'm not saying the situations aren't warranted, but hearing the same thing get parroted so often gets tiring.

And that in turn brings me to clinger: Isaka. The guy is way too invincible, and boringly so. Like, I get it, you wanna make sure Terui's' overarching villain has the chops to be a legit threat. However, him getting away with alot of what he does makes no sense. The big one this time being that Terror Dad decides to step in once he's discovered Wakan's' Driver has been tampered with.

...Only to then do nothing at all about it and let the dude be. So there in turn bring ups two possibilities. Either A) Terror Dad doesn't actually care about his daughter and thus stepped in to confront Weather for no reason or 2) He does care, but he just does nothing for the sake of the plot. Combine this with what the show tries to pull with Terror Dad later on and I just find myself more annoyed than anything.

Sure, there are some nice character beats throughout with our main cast, and the stuff with Lily is solid enough, but with how much these two episodes hinge on Weather, I just couldn't find myself having much of a good time.
