[Switchblade]

Very good episode. The backstory revelations were done well and I really liked the use of line switching as a diversion. I had to knock a point off the overall score, though, for how awful Cho Cho ToQ-DaiOh looks. I always hate mech shoe power-ups and there are so many out-of-scale train cars just hanging off of everything.

That said, I am ecstatic to see Gritta go. I couldn't stand her and I will not even slightly miss the mandatory "holding the handkerchief" shot that we had to focus on every damn episode. Sayonara, Gritta. Don't let the door hit your stupid purple bulldog ass on the way out.

Oh, and Schwarz will totally be back. He's a Sentai villain: no explosion = no death.
