The sudden turnaround on the part of the city's populace strains credulity. That abrupt change is a failure on the part of the writing. If it had been stretched out a bit, it wouldn't be such a glaring problem.

Now that I can agree with.

The only explanation I could possibly give for that is the Butcher is going for a "society is fickle so only an elite few have the ability to protect them" message... but yeah, little bit of a disappointment there.

Still you can see what was intended.

I'm going to say it now, next few episodes we find out that not everyone is won over to the Beat Riders still. Mai did say we'll have to start from the beginning. Then again there is Sagara and his hype machine, they'll probably focus more on than if the preview is anything to go by.

It'll hopefully make perfect sense as a whole rather than in isolation like it is now. Hopefully.
