Kabuto Episode 10
That was a Gai like reaction right there

So I'm curious to know what the civilians will think when time returns to normal and they see a smashed car and a lot of glass falling down on them. I know Tendou was trying to avoid hitting them, but riding your bike along the glass side of a building is probably a bad idea. And by bad idea I mean a REALLY bad idea.

Hot damn Kagami just went total fucking bad ass on those Worms.

"Heaven sure is whimsical."

You know I would normally question how Yaguruma knows where Tendou lives. However considering he's a part of a very high up military company which works for a really high up company, I don't think it's too out there to think that he was able to just look up Tendou's address. So no questioning of this little moment.

I will however question how they got into the bistro. It looks like they are the only two people in there, so I doubt somebody let them in. So how exactly did they get in? Did they pick the lock or something?

Shouldn't she have said help me?

First, what. Secondly, the fuck? Do all of the riders get a tattoo of their respective symbol? If so then do they just disappear when that person is disconnected from the Zector such as Yaguruma?

So is Kagami tapping the fish to tell which one is the best? I uh don't really get that. Not one single bit.

Let me guess, the head of Zect is Kagami's dad?

Look Hiyori I can see why you're so gloomy and doomy. You were trapped in the rubble of your house and when somebody showed up to help you, they (from what we have been shown) didn't. I can see how that could make a person depressed and effect their artwork. You obviously have a fascination with drawing people being saved. However you've let it effect everything about you for the most part to where you're willing to not even forgive somebody who may or may not have had the belt (it obviously wasn't Kagami and for all I know it may not be Tendou). Honestly this whole gloomy, I don't need anybody, fuck the world attitude of yours is what makes you my least favorite character in the show.

Kagami I think back in your mind you should have known this was coming. Outside of leading Shadow to defeat Worms, the whole purpose of TheBee was to defeat Kabuto. Yaguruma didn't do it so it should naturally come to you that whoever becomes the new TheBee would take over that mission, in this case you. So yeah, I don't think this should come as a big surprise to you.

To be fair, Kagami probably would be fired by now. But it is pretty funny how Tendou just keeps saying it over and over again. It's almost like he wants him fired.

"I want my mackerel dammit!"

Tendou doesn't like the word friends? Please tell me he meets Gentaro at some point because I would love to see how they would interact

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...maybe they should have given Kagami a briefing on how to lead a squad of soldiers. He obviously doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to that department. I mean kudos to him for giving Kageyama the command to take charge while he takes care of the Worm that molted. But still, he should really be taught how to lead his troops into battle.

Somethings tells me (I'd say hope) that they use this whole Tendou having to clean up Kagami's mess as a way to develop him. Obviously by him I mean Kagami.

Okay the effect with their suits in the fire as they talk in their civilian forms is just plain awesome looking.

Well that was a short run as TheBee. Oh well. Next in line please!

Called it.

Time for a new rider. And I don't mean a new TheBee. No I mean a new rider as a whole. Time for guitar case guy!

Well ten have come and 10 have gone. The tenth episode's analysis shall begin...now.

In terms of story, it was great. Well to me at least. Like the episode before it this one pulled out all the good stuff for it's story. It clearly was there and it's execution was great. It showed Kagami's struggle in deciding what to do when it came to being the new TheBee. It all played out very well and IMO progressed in a fairly natural state. He went from being happy that he has this immense power, to being saddened that he has to use it to fight his friend, to being in the middle emotions wise at not having to do what he was asked and not being able to be TheBee. It helped move the story along very well, but also his character. As for adding anything to the main story, pretty much all of the story added to the main plot with everything involving Kagami, the slight inch forward in the Hiyori/Tendou relationship story, to Kagami's dad being in Zect, and teasing the new rider. So overall I thought the story here was just plain superb and dare I say perfect.

This leaked into the character development portions, again, just like the previous episode. All of the development (like the focus of the story) went right to Kagami. I pretty much explained his development in my analysis of the story, so I don't think I need to repeat it all here. I will however repeat that it was done perfectly to me. Outside of Kagami though nobody really got any development in terms of individual characters. The Tendou/Hiyori relationship was slightly developed, and obviously the Tendou/Kagami relationship got some development. But that's pretty much it. The episode didn't have a whole lot of people or relationships being developed, but the amount and execution of what was given to Kagami more then makes up for it.

And the action caps everything off. For the third time in this analysis I will say the following: just like the last episode, this one delivered in the action department. It showcased how energetic, yet inexperienced Kagami is when it comes. It also showcased well how the squad without any real direction isn't able to hold it's own fairly well. Just all in all flawless action to me.

I think it goes without saying what my final verdict is on the episode. This is the first time I think I'm ever going to say this, but we have had back to back perfect episodes here with 9 and 10 folks. But this is just my opinion. You don't have to agree with it, just try to respect it. I love the episode, I deem it perfect, keep it up Kabuto, you're impressing the shit out of me.
