[Switchblade]

That was pretty damn awesome. I'm very curious to see what happens next, as this episode set up a lot of stuff.

I don't believe for one second that Takatora(batta) is really dead. This is exactly like what happened when Sid and Ryouma betrayed him, right down to the plummeting to his supposed demise part.

Kaito's wound has a green glow. An aftereffect of whatever that cloud was Redue used? A side effect of using the Genesis Driver? Something is up with that and I'm interested to see what it is.

Micchy has definitively passed the moral event horizon now. Everything up to this point was him trying, in a really selfish and increasingly deluded way, to just be happy with his friends. Striking a killing blow against his brother? Nothing about that is going to get him in Mai's dance pants - that is just pure selfishness and evil right there. At this point I think the only redemption Micchy might get could be a "man, did I fuck up" death scene.

Also, fuck soccer, fuck AU movies, and re-fuck Kikaider on principle.
