[Switchblade]

Probably not the peak of comedy for OOO, but love drunk Eiji is definitely a high point. I'm pretty sure that Cazali shrugging was at least briefly a meme.

Great two-parter for Date, even before he took his shirt off. Every time we get more development for him, I just like him even more. The show spent a lot of time building up Gotou as the show's obvious secondary Rider, but Date is so much fun and fits in so well that it doesn't feel like an unfair bait-and-switch. I'll have more to say about this much later in the series than I originally expected to.

I'm watching the old Over-Time subs from back in the day and... oh man, did they make a translation choice when Ankh was snapping at Eiji in the opening scene.

Last thing I'll mention is something that took a little bit of research. I remembered that there was some kind of figure for the "Love Combo" form of OOO. I was thinking a Figuart, but it turns out it was a) part of the absolutely bonkers OOO line of SICs (this show was made for SIC and its gonzo aesthetics) and b) it was just one of Bandai's many, many "hey, look at this thing that we made but we're never going to mass produce" figure reveals.
