Anyhoos, EPISODE 12 was 10/10. So much fan service for the OG fans, and that conclusion + cliffhanger was just chef's kiss.

Takemura isn't that big of a surprise considering he was already having second thoughts during the OVAs and has been in semi-retirement - his last role in anything was in a YST collab with the Langrisser mobile game in 2019. So him not appearing was kind of a given, getting replaced was a pleasant surprise.

As for Nakamura, it was a toss-up between replacement and Suddenly Mute since Seiji is both in and out of universe a whump magnet.
