Another good episode, this one written by Higuchi Tatsuto.

Poor Chassirou experiences the introvert's worst nightmare of having his secret thoughts exposed by Toilet Auto's compulsive candidness spell. Being in the espionage business, it makes sense that he would have a strong intuition for identifying suspicious "nice" people, like Keiwa in Kamen Rider Geats. But it's true that some people like Jou are actually just plain nice, which Chassirou is forced to praise him for. Hmm, I wonder what would've happened if Bun Pink was hit by the spell instead of Blue. Mira's so happy on the outside, that she kind of seems depressed on the inside, right? Good teamwork between these 3 for taking care of the MOTW without Taiya.

Madwrecks debuts pretty early, which makes me think he's only the Tankjoh of the Hashiliens and will likely get replaced by a bigger villain later. To his credit though, he's immediately more competent than those other 3 and manages to keep Bun Red occupied for most of the episode. He may have even won the fight, if not for Genba's timely intervention (cool to see another character weaponizing manholes after Another Kiva and Kudo Rinne). We still know very little about Taiya and Genba, so maybe this is leading to focus on them next episode.

Which is ironic when you remember that Bun Black's suit actor Ito was Lupin Red and Takada was Patren 1 and Leo Red. Now they both have experience being on opposite sides of the law.
