Never mentioned it before, but I like how bull's gun weapon's final form is just some hand held rail gun.

Shinji's job continues to be monumentally weirder than the crazy monsters living in the mirror that he fights every day. Aha, the crayfish-catcher thing DID come back somehow.

So the punk looking dude who I thought was bull, was actually Lawyer guy's butler. More importantly, however, Shinji's job takes him ans the reporter chick to investigate the existence of a frog with a mohawk! Found by the same old man who captured the weird crayfish. I'm figuring that the giant smog factory may have something to do with mutating these animals.

Yui's mom continues to prefer Yui seeing Shinji to Ron, much to Yui and Ron's chagrin. Ron seems to have moved back into aloof douche mode, when they were sorta friends episodes earlier.

Oh so the goofy mutated animal plot does tie in weirdly enough! Lawyer dude, or Kitaoka is representing the pollutinous pharmooceutical company. Kitaoka seems to be the womanizing type. Shinji, of course, thinks he's full of bullshit.

Kitaoka decides to befriend Shinji by taking him to a mooseuse. Guess Kitaoka's only in the law business for the mooney. No hint of a hidden heart of gold somewhere, though. So far he just seems to like living it up.

Yui really doesn't approve of Shinji coming to live/work at the restaurant. Ron hilariously disguises himself as a diner to immaturely critique Shinji.

Now that Ron's proven himself to Yui's mom, she believes they all should live together. ...Well, alright, her intuitions never wrong!

It turns out the old man finding the mutant animals was a fraud. I'm...why....what is this subplot?!

Shinji continues to shadow Kitaoka for his newspiece, this time they're chilling in a pool watching some girls doing what I can only describe as frolicking around in the water. Shinji questions Kitaoka's sort of selfish lifestyle and Kitaoka gets so pissed that he makes Shinji leave. Guess he cudn't handle criticism.

And woah, the old fraud gets killed. Huh, he seemed to comical for that. But it leads to Shinji fighting the zebra monster...and the bull guy/Kitaoka sneak attacking him. Man, what a cowardly moove.

Bull vs dragon! Bull seems to be getting the better of Shinji so far. Ron continues to insult Shinji back at the restaurant for him being late.

Um...so the glasses girl from Shinji's job goes to the carnival....and gets kidnapped. Alright...

I don't know why Shinji has to lie about fighting monsters, it's not like he has much to hide from Yui and Ron. Unless he's just embarrassed of his defeat.

Ron won't be getting any sleep as Shinji's snores obnoxiously, reminding me of myself. Shinji's boss finds out about Shimada's kidnapping and sends Shinji to investigate. Ah, this scene is played less comically than I expected.

Though I really should've, I didn't really expect a monster to randomly appear and kill the kidnapper.

Aaaaand Shinji inadvertently gets blamed for kidnapping. Of course.

Everyone seems to have hilarious reactions to it. Yui's mom seems to be the only one to believe him. For stupid reasons, but still.

Shinji's boss is acting like a complete weirdo about it. As expected. Reporter chick wants to get a headline. As expected. Ron is being a complete prick about it while Yui feels bad. As expected. Ron does have a pretty hilarious line here though. Shimada remembers nothing, so looks like Shinji's guilty for now...

Meanwhile Kitaoka's getting his beard trimmed by his butler while Latin chanting plays in the background. Alright. His butler seems nicer than he does, handing some random little girl who stopped by candy.

Ron and Reporter chick stop by to pay, Kitaoka to represent Shinji, who initially refuses. Well, Kitaoka may be be a prick at least hes not a sociopath on Scissor's level. Definitely more of a threat though.

Kitaoka has a moment that reminds me of the first Spider-Man moovie, when he recognizes Shinji is Ryuki by his injuries. Speaking of revealed identities, Ron and Kitaoka find out each other's a Rider as they go to fight the latest monster. Ron seems to be doing rather badly and then Kitaoka just shoots him while he's down. Because of cowrse, these rider's can't cowexist with eachother.
