[SPLIT LIP]

So I started watching Ryuki episode Final, though I paused it about thirteen minutes in to make dinner. Let me just say it is AWESOME to see a female rider who, at least looks, badass. No frilly or bubblegummy crap or knock-knee'd whatever the hell Nadeshiko did after transforming. Instead she does cool martial-arts hand movements, kinda like Agito did. She's more of a typical knight than Ryuki. Though her cape and rapier make her similar to Knight design-wise, she's got a pretty cool look. Doesn't help that she's similar in colours to Wing Form, and also like Wing Form is based off a swan. Huh. Also her Sword Vent is awesome. I don't know what you call those big twin-blades sword things, but they're always cool. I can't imagine ho many weapons you can pull off a Swan though. Also, she's kinda funny, scamming a man by making others think he's scamming her. Horrible person, but funny. I know more than to, mostly, judge a Ryuki character by first impressions.

Also Zolda and Ryuki are back, fighting kind of together. Gorou even shows up and does his super-supporting powerful boytoy butler smile as Zolda transforms. Just seeing those two together again is awesome on account of how sad, but great, their final moments in the show were.
