[Battlizer]

Cool episode. I was half-busy when watching it, so I may need to watch it again to make sure I didn't miss anything. Normally spoilers don't bother me too much, but I sorta wish I hadn't read this ep's beforehand. Still didn't bother me too much.

I'm happy that we'll be seeing more of how Yggdrassil Corp. operates wiht this and presumably the next few episodes. Interested to see what Micchy does with this news too. Knowing that it was Yuuya he killed in his first battle on top of what happened to Hase might crush Kouta's desire to fight. At least against the Invess.

Sid was my guess as to who Sigurd was from the start. But I was always hoping he'd become a villainous rider anyway. When they'd covered up Sigurd's identity at first, I wasn't sure. I dunno how that led to people thinking Hase wold be Sigurd though, I really don't. Well there's certainly no confusion now...

Hase might've not been the most important character, but he's serves to Kouta as the first person he personally knew (that he recognized) that had turned into an Invess. I wonder how he'll fight them in the future, especially if he finds out what happened to Yuuya.

Sid'll make a pretty cool villain, I think. He defintiely has ulterior motives related to the forest, I think. Takatora is probably the only Yggdrassil officer/Energy Rider who actually believes he's doing soemthing for the greater good. Can't wait to see more of Sengoku as Duke and be introduced to Marika. In the preview for the next ep she's seen beating up Kaito, I wonder if there's a reason or if she's just kinda sadistic.

Also interesting next ep is DJ Sagara having a chat with Kouta. Wonder what that's about...?
