Shita and Jeebh are starting to get desperate due to their declining performances in procuring the Hitopressed humans. Jeebh is commanding his agent to tell the Granute part-timers to collect more efficiently. Them overworking the Granute part-timers could backfire that one or several of the part-timers could end up rebelling against their order.

Aaaannnddd... Shouma does get to work in a construction site, at least for this sole episode, like I hypothesized 6 weeks ago in episode 4 thread here. The very weird thing is, why does it have to involve Sachika? Shouma could do so many jobs there much much much faster and more efficiently compared to 99% workers there. So why does he have to depend on Sachika on giving him a construction job (or any other jobs for that matter)? Like I said in previous threads, the answer is clear: Because the plot needs him to be dependent on Sachika so that she can be more relevant to the story. Without Shouma being dependent on her, she would only at most be a recurring minor character who has little relevance and impact to the story. Yep, this story has finally confirmed my suspicion (since episode 1!) about its blatant heavy-handed writing. No wonder this story feels so off and gives off a very odd vibe. Congratulations, Gavv writers and producers.

Hanto @ 02:05 conveniently finds the packaging of the cake eaten by Kirari (the kid of the week) in episode 9.

Shouma writes in his notebook @ 04:30 that he receives the donuts from the manager at the construction site. Yep, Shouma needs to be dependent on other people giving him foods and jobs.

Yet another weird thing is @ 05:19 where Hanto asks Sachika to find the location of the Granute of the week's shop. Really, Hanto? Can't you do a simple Google search by yourself? I mean, the name of the shop (Patisserie Gateau-Coquille) is even written on the packaging. Why does he often involve Sachika when he needs a simple information search like this? It's obvious: To make Sachika more relevant and important to the story. Great, one more character being dependent on Sachika.

In the scene @ 06:29 Glotta visits Nyelv's lab. She points out her suspicion that he has already known about KR Gavv's and KR Valen's meddling, yet he's failed to disclose that. She suspects that he's plotting something behind her (and Lango's) back. he dismisses her suspicion, and says that his only interest is using KR Gavv (and KR Valen) as pawns in his experiments. It'd be interesting if Glotta (or Lango) actually tests his honesty (and loyalty) by spying on him and or sabotaging his plans.

Hanto and Shouma arrive at the 2 different locations of the Granute of the week's shop @ 07:33, but it's already vanished. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it's so funny that what vanished is not only the Granute of the week's shop, but also the 2 or 4 shops right beside it, haha. There are also traces of an object being dragged on the ground, like shown in the end of episode 9. Another weird thing is, the Granute of the week has just given out cakes to kindergarteners @ 08:38, but when Shouma and Hanto arrive there @ 10:16 the school has already vanished. Sooooooo, is the Granute of the week moving the whole school building in broad daylight without attracting people's attention? Don't know! This story has far too many nonsense, absurdities, weirdness, and other forms of logical anomalies.

In the scene @ 11:03 Shouma and Hanto follow the traces which lead them to an empty field/quarry area where the Granute of the week is keeping the school building. So, if the Granute of the week's plan is to collect as many kids/kindergarteners as possible, then why the heck does he also steal the whole school building (and his own shop)? What's the point? It makes no sense at all. Does he do it to erase his traces? Of course not, because instead of erasing his traces of crimes, it actually leaves a lot of traces. If his plan is to erase his traces of crimes then he should only need to change his human disguise by asking for (or maybe buy) new disguises from Nyelv, like the Granute of the week did in episode 8. Oh, and why didn't anybody notice the weird marks on the ground and investigate it before Hanto and Shouma did? Buildings don't just disappear with no reasons, especially public buildings like the Granute of the week's shop. Man, these 2 episodes make little sense. The writing is sooooooooooooo lazy and heavy-handed, and the writers don't even attempt to hide it.

Hanto/KR Valen confronts the Granute of the week, and shortly thereafter, Shouma/KR Gavv appears. It's revealed that the Granute of the week actually has an alternate form in the shape of a giant spider. And he moved his shop and the school in that giant form and nobody has noticed it, including when he moved the whole school building in broad daylight several minutes ago? Don't know! Also, didn't the Granute of the week keep the Hitopressed kids inside 5 black containers @ 13:18? Then why does he still have the Hitopressed kids with him @ 16:39 and @ 17:27? Don't know! I understand that the writers intended to showcase KR Gavv Gurucan form, but can't they do it in a more logical/sensical and less lazy way? It seems like the writers (and producers) didn't even bother to storyboard-proof their scripts to see whether there are logical and or visual inconsistencies within it. Bonus weird scene: KR Gavv & KR Valen are instantly teleported from an empty field/quarry area to a public park @ 18:16. Very weird!

In the scene @ 18:46 Shouma/KR Gavv and Hanto/KR Valen are wondering what happened to each other when the fight with the Granute of the week broke out. Hanto/KR Valen is asking for some of Shouma/KR Gavv's Gochizous, and Shouma/KR Gavv still thinks that Hanto/KR Valen is an abnormal Granute that can't produce his own Gochizous? Hanto/KR Valen is not only unable to produce his own Gochizous/agents, but he also doesn't have a Gavv in the first place. A Gavv is the most crucial organ of a Granute, so if a human-looking organism is proven to not have a Gavv then the only correct logical deduction is that that human-looking organism is not a Granute, but is actually a human. Gosh, how dense is Shouma to not have already realized it? Don't know!

Also, Shouma/KR Gavv and Hanto/KR Valen still can't figure out each other's identity behind the masks. It's very clearly shown in this episode that there are only 2 people in God's green Earth who knows the location (the empty field/quarry area) where the Granute of the week kept the school building he stole: Shouma and Hanto. If KR Gavv arrived at the location, then Hanto/KR Valen should've been able to deduce with 99,9 % certainty that KR Gavv is actually Shouma aka the part-timer guy from Sachika's shop, and vice versa, if KR Valen arrived at the location, then Shouma/KR Gavv should've been able to deduce with 99,9 % certainty that KR Valen is actually Hanto aka Hanti aka the regular customer guy from Sachika's shop. At this point, it's virtually makes no sense for them, persons with normal intelligence, rationale, and logical/reasoning capabilities, to not have already figured out each other's identity as Riders. If they still haven't figured it out in the next episode, then it's crystal clear that they're dumb, and worse, they're intentionally made dumb by the writers in order to extend the secret identity subplot for who knows how many episodes. If they still can't connect the dots and arrive at the simplest logical conclusion in the next episode, then the story will prove itself to be very very very lazy and heavy-handed.

In the scene @ 22:12, Kenzou receives a package that contains a weirdly-shaped USB flash disk. The flash disk contains the recording of the previous fight between Shouma/KR Gavv and Hanto/KR Valen vs the Granute of the week. And yes, as always, the recording is cinematic, haha. Who sent the flash disk to Kenzou? It could be Nyelv, or Dente, or another party. If it's Nyelv or Dente, then it could mean that both of them are doing experiments to upgrade the Granutes' Gavvs or Shouma's Henshin Belt Gavv, which could mean that Dente is a suspicious character that actually has an ulterior motive in helping Shouma. Although, it's still unclear how Nyelv and or Dente is able to record that fight. Did Dente spy on Shouma/KR Gavv and Hanto/KR Valen by using the Zakuzakuchips RG given to him by Shouma in episode 6 @ 11:40? If it's another party, then I have a hypothesis that it's a clandestine organization like I mentioned in KR Gotchard episode 50 thread here and elaborated in episode 4 thread here. This huge reveal could happen by Christmas or New Year in episodes 16, 17, or 18. Kenzou has been shown to know waaaaaay too much and possess information, resources/funding, and objects faaaaaaar beyond the reach of a independent researcher, so I think the most plausible explanation is that he's been funded and supported by a clandestine organization behind the shadow, although he may not have actually met even one member of that organization, which means that he's likely also a pawn that is manipulated by that organization. Also, if Kenzou's plan is to spy on Hanto/KR Valen and Shouma/KR Gavv to gather visual data of their fights, then why doesn't he simply command one of the Chocodon RG's he stole from Shouma? Do the Gochizous only obey Shouma's commands? Don't know!

Next week:

Hanto is investigating the Granute of the week who poses as a romance scammer, like the Granute of the week in episodes 7 & 8 who posed as a career scammer.

In the preview section, it's shown that Hanto is falling down after an apparent explosion. I think that that's how his identity as KR Valen is revealed to Shouma/KR Gavv. So, Shouma will likely find out about the real identity of the person behind KR Valen's mask not via deduction, but simply via circumstance when KR Valen detransforms due to sheer damage and reveals Hanto as the user of the Valen Buster. Mmmaaayyybbbeee...
