Decade 18.

What the hell is Natsumi wearing? I mean Jesus girl I'm not complaining but wearing nothing but underwear and a shirt and leaving most of the buttons undone is an...interesting style choice.

God this episode was infuriating, DOU SHISHISHI SHOU ONGEKI DOKI RYUUU ZANNKI PATATATATOBATATOBATATOBATOTOBA ZYRUUUUN. I seriously didn't understand what they were actually talking about for about ninety percent of this episode. Three schools, three scrolls? And a whole lot of Japanese words which mean nothing to me, an English speaker.

If nothing else, this show makes me fall in love with powers from shows I've either never seen or simply don't like. I came out from this really wanting one of those redone Kabuto's and wanting to watch a bunch more Hibiki - although wow Hibiki has some naff looking monsters.

Kaito's touching little sequence with the Oni in training made me realise how shit a character Kaito is. Like why is he...here? He was in the background for pretty much the entire of his own introduction arc and since then he's had vague motivations and an even vaguer moral compass and just sorta swags in and out at random points in the episodes, never achieving anything. I dunno why they didn't just cut him out and use Kuuga more.

Also how do his powers even work? I didn't realise he summoned the ACTUAL Riders, why would Momo even fight for Kaito? I thought he and Tsukasa were friends.
