Faiz Episode 45
Why must you remind me of the end of the last episode?

"I believe I can flyyyyy (bitches!)!"

I think it's safe to say that Yuji is most definitely livid like a mother fucker, and may have just been pushed over the edge. Then again, it was cowboy Orphenoch and Saeko that pretty much killed her, not the humans. But hey, I guess they needed something to really finalize Yuji's current situation.

Kitazaki is also going to be equally pissed off now. Twice now he's gotten his ass kicked when he's suppose to be the strongest in the universe. Obviously he isn't if he keeps getting squashed like this. So if we see him again majorly, majorly pissed, we all know why.

Sooooooooooooooo...how are they going to break it to Keitaro?

Yeah I'm really starting to think this kid is an Orphenoch. Hell maybe he's this Orphenoch King we've been hearing about, and the show is going for a child Antichrist sort of thing. That wouldn't be all that clever since it's been done a lot, but it would be pretty interesting to see if that is where they take this.

Wait did Takumi text Keitaro about what happened? Or was Keitaro tearing up over Yuka's text and Takumi was just talking to himself inside his head? A little clarity would do much good here.

Oh my God the music playing there was just perfect. Fit that scene like one tight body glove suit.


Naoya you lost Tereou? Bad Naoya! Bad!

at Kitazaki. Yeah bro, they are doing this very important mission over Murakami losing money. That is totally why you three are doing this smash and hit shit mission.

...What the fuck was that!?

How much you want to bet Yuji beat Lucky Clover to the punch?

And it does appear that nice guy Yuji has indeed joined the dark side.

Holy shit...that WAS a rider kick. Good God Takumi just obliterated that guy.

Well that was episode 45. We're at the home stretch now and the show is almost done! So how does the final sprint start? Well, it starts with a meh.

The story like with most episodes, was not present. Did anything get added to the main plot of the show show? Well I guess the thing at the end of Yuji walking away with Mari's dad could count (especially by the preview for 46), and I guess Tereou being...what the hell he is could go to it. But outside of those two possibilities, I don't really think anything was added. So the story here just fails.

In terms of character development, I think it's safe to say any and all of it went towards Yuji, and he wasn't even that present in the episode. He's been developing ever since Yuka's story, and thus the experimentation story began. And now it seems the product is finally starting to show. Yuji seems to be turning into Murakami if these past few episodes (especially this one) have shown/told us anything. Outside of Yuji though, everybody got jacked of character development. I wouldn't say this area failed, it just sort of had one big bang, and a lot of misfires.

As for the action we got, it came in a small amount, but it kicked ten kinds of ass. The only real action scene was Mihara and Takumi VS cowboy Orphenoch, and it kicked ass. When it was just Mihara, it had a good pace to it, and when Takumi got involved, the pace kicked into gear even more. Plus, it produced probably my favorite action moment in the show with that multiple rider kicks attack Takumi did. That is just plain epic. So even though we only had one true action scene take place here, boy oh boy was it awesome. As per usual, the action takes the prize of being the best part of the episode, it only slightly better then the character development.

All in all, another pretty average episode. Was it entertaining? Yeah, it kinda was. But on a critical analysis level, it's just another regular old episode in the Faiz library.
