In a matter of minutes, Leon lost everything. He lost his self control, his knighthood, his last and only gift from his mother, and even his father's support. To top this off, he was not coping with it, at all. Leon was so messed up at the end of that episode that he attempts to kill himself. So with in mind, why isn't Leon a Horror? This is the single most perfect set up for this to happen and he can be the new main villain trying to kill Alfonso and take back his title. Instead we get more emo drama in a normal life setting (which we've already done with Leon).


Again, I am enjoying the show (way more than the last one). Episode 14 was a really enjoyable one off episode that had Horrors fighting each other. I'm just disappointed they had a great opportunity and didn't take it.

I like to think the thing keeping Leon from becoming a horror is his inner fire. we saw how bright it burned, so I think it'd be next to impossible for him to just become a horror by losing everything. discouraged, yes. beyond the point of no return, probably not.

and I don't mind the predictable gonna die soon family, hopefully the dog makes it though. the anime seems to give homages to animation from the 70s, where tokusatsu got it's big break. at least IMO.

I kinda like Leon still being the main character. he's the Garo who is not like other Garo before him. I mean, even the soul of his grandfather believed in him, so I can believe Leon will get back his stride and his fire will burn even brighter.
