[Den-O]

A pretty good episode with a decent resolultion. But I still think it's silly that they didn't let Beast eat him. All Haruto had to do was defeat Phoenix and let Beast stand on the side lines and consume him afterward. A missed opportunity to solve Nitous sub-plot but oh well.

The episode itself was pretty nice even if it did newly reinforce the whole Phantoms have no redemption thing. And I'll admit that throwing Phoenix into the sun was a good was to keep him in check until they need to bring him back for a movie or later in the series. All Dragon looked pretty silly and the flight battle wasn't nearly as cool as the Hurricane Dragon one. Kizaki being in this episode (and the last) seemed pointless. More or less it just reminded us that hey he's a character behind a desk!
