[Locke]

Episode 39 of Kuuga was an...okay episode. I don't really know why they bothered to add two UL attacking at the same time as they completely rushed the fight between Acid and Kuuga, even after all the build up. Even for Kuuga that was disappointing.

Thankfully the fight with Number 3 was slightly better mainly because Number 3 is no longer taking any of your shit and the introduction of Daguva was clearly inspired by Evil Dead, one of my all time favourite horror films. They kept Super Number Three around long enough to establish just how powerful he is, before killing him off to show just how powerful what comes next is. Awesome.

And wow so Ichijou is legit gay? I love how when you think back it's all so obvious and even when they do the reveal, they do it subtly and move on. Being gay doesn't define Ichijou and it shouldn't.

I'm just impressed a fifteen year old Japanese kids TV show can write better gay characters than all those modern shows that want to be 'hip and progressive'. This show certainly just earned a lot more points in my book and I was completely enamoured with Ichijou's character already.

He and Midnighter are the only two gay characters I know done perfectly, sadly Midnighter is slightly ahead for taking vengeance for his boyfriend by raping a man with a jackhammer.
