Decent episode. Some good amount of resolution here and there. Nice to see Haruto actually get phased by something. He's not always the stone cold hero. That seemed like a very clever way to take out phoenix for now. He could make a great, supercharged villain for a movie or something if they wanted to go that direction. His arc has been some of the best stuff this series has had so far. Only thing that really disappointed me was the final fight, but that's mostly because I think All Dragon is terrible. The Dragon wizard designs on their own look great and have interesting fighting styles. All Dragon is just an ugly, boring, not even all that flashy finisher. I actually like the DragoTimer, though. That works well. Having four wizards fight at once is going to lead to some great moments, I can tell. The sound effects are great too.

Going forward, Gremlin certainly seems like he'll be an interesting villain. The show desperately needs it as Medusa's too boring and Wiseman isn't ready to come into the spotlight. His mischievous nature should lead to some interesting plots. If they handle him like they did phoenix, it'll certainly keep the show going nicely into the final couple arcs.

Something about Kizaki really bugged me here as well. Not sure what it is. Could be typical toku 'cool guy' syndrome, but I feel like he's hiding something. Like he's playing a bigger role than he lets on. Could he be the White Wizard, perhaps? I don't think so right now, not enough evidence, but it seems almost as likely as any other identity for him.
