Blade Fifteen was actually a really great episode.

I've always kinda felt Tachibana was kind of a weak link amongst the characters that truly matter, minus Aname who may well be the worst child character in all of television and Hirose who I'm only glad is around because she is gorgeous, she serves no other real purpose. So I was very satisfied that he's now starting to grow into a compelling character, it's just a shame his girlfriend had to die to do so...

Although the action was improved this week, helped by the added emotional investment, wow Wesker was...rubbish. I assumed he was a major player but seeing how little of a fight he actually put up once he was forced into fighting, I'm surprised he's lasted this long.

That is kind of the problem here, people say you can look past bad action for the sake of the story and the characters and I one hundred percent agree with this...but not in Toku. In Toku action is integral to the stories and characters, a majority of a shows progression and wrapping up is done through action and so it's important that the action be...good, especially so in this genre.

As such Wesker basically turning out to be utterly pathetic basically means the show has wasted my time for the last ten or so episodes, as not only did he not put up a fight but none of his actions turned out to be particularly meaningful or long lasting. And yes, I know he killed Sayako but that wasn't something specifically to him, they could have done that whole arc perfectly fine without him.
