[RiderSkyward]

Hmm, definitely on par with the first, maybe slightly better because HellHound looks a hell... of a lot cooler than Minotarus.

I thought the origin was handled nicely too.

Looking ahead, I just hope it keeps it up. I liked Fourze's goofiness and its nice to see this series isn't all doom and gloom. I think it definitely handles the badass to goofy thing a lot better. That organization or whatever could go either way. They could have a hand in creating the second rider (like Ixa I guess) or could be an elite group of phantoms (kind of like the natives in kabuto)

Either way I'm looking forward to next week =)
