[Pineapple924]

Interesting dynamic for the "patient" this episode, I would've liked it if he wasn't Graphite, and they went further into the "should criminals be saved?" debate, although this is a kids show so they probably didn't want to.

Just as the scan revealed, Genm's secret identity is actually (and logically) Dan Kuroto.

Speaking of Dan, I gotta say, it takes a lot to have 3 different alliances going on at once. He's got play the trustworthy benefactor to the CR. Carefully make deals with Taiga and Kiriya, both of whom are fairly clever and know important information. And fool all of humanity while working with the Bugsters.

I'd be amazed if Dan manages to keep up the charade past episode 10, and either blown away or greatly disappointed in the CR if he pulls a Micchy and doesn't get revealed to the rest of the cast until the later episodes.

Lastly, my favorite moment in this episode was where Brave, Lazer, and Snipe all transform together. I know it happens all the in almost every other toku series. But I really love the one in this episode, possibly because the riders aren't friends and it feels more like a rare moment I won't see often. (On a side note, if more of these group transformation happen constantly throughout the rest of the series, feel free to laugh at me for this when the show ends.)
