The green eyes really sell it, they look great on the purple. Putotyra is better for sure! Weird how the Purple Medal-piloted Combos are identified by purple eyes though, as one of the non-purple parts of Putotyra.

Of course, there are people who'd ship anybody, so it totally applies to those two as well. I doubt Kuroto would see it that way though, considering how the whole Doctor Mighty XX thing resulted in him getting forced in to house arrest and community service, despite actually being willingly helpful for that part.

Makes sense. Decade was an entry point for a lot of people (at least judging from that thread), so I can see how they would feel nostalgic about the first 3 full-length shows that succeeded it. As one of those people, I have Double and Fourze in my top 10 Heisei, but I'll still acknowledge their flaws and listen to people's fair complaints, even about Faiz.

Fitting that Power To Tearer is my favorite OOO insert!

And yet, again: complicated. It might?ve been that at one point, but everything they?ve gone through over the last eight months has turned that transactional agreement into first a grudging acceptance -slash- cohabitation, and now something more like support. While Ankh could not care less about Kitamura ? he immediately and epically blows up Kitamura?s lies in front of Eiji and Hina, right after he told Kitamura he wouldn?t; classic ? he knows that Eiji does care about him, so he steers the rampaging PuToTyra away from the helpless fanboy and towards himself. (He was clearly paying attention to Gotou?s strategy at the beginning of 33, and he would very much like you not to say that out loud.) Everything Ankh does at the end is under the veneer of What?s Best For Ankh, but there?s the tacit acknowledgement that Eiji is what?s best for Ankh.

There's an intriguing parallel with how Eiji trusted his family and Ankh trusted King OOO and both of them were betrayed. While Eiji reacted by giving up on desire, Ankh went the other way of doubling down on desire, neither of them wanting to experience that suffering ever again. And yet their ambiguous and admittedly kind of toxic relationship is gradually giving them back the parts of themselves that they lost, which means they have something to lose, but also something they don't want to let go of.

I know right! After reading Die's opinions about Gotou, I realized that I have basically no opinions about Gotou, other than him being less entertaining than Date. Reminds me of Hikaru from Revice, for how much he just exists.

THE BIRD YUMMY SPAWNED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FIGHTS USING RED TAPE: This is it. This is the best thing in this episode, and it?s also the episode where Satonaka fights a Yummy in a cute outfit. BEST EPISODE YET!

More Satonaka is awesome compensation for absent Date! Should've made her the new Birth instead!
