Ha! I thought the exact same thing, but I think I saw it in some Heisei show actually. Still, classic setup.

I liked the episode, but I kinda fear that I know what this is building up to: Haruka has to transform in front of his sister who then gets afraid of him and the awkwardness of him trying to tell her that he isn't a monster even though he kinda is follows suit. That's a plot I have seen a dozen times in Rider already.

But maybe they can make this more interesting. Or just make Haruka's sister a bit more understanding than the usual female secondary characters.

I'm interested to see how this goes, and also how the subplot with Jin moves forward. The teaser for the next episode casually dropped that he became an Amazon by choice... interesting.
