Ex-Aid, how am I supposed to be a disgruntled Ghost fan and hate you when you keep knocking episodes out of the park like this?

Great episode. This is exactly what I've been wanting from Emu (although that little flash in his eyes has me worried they really are going the "literal split-personality" route, which runs the risk of MASSIVELY devaluing his character), and it was all wrapped in an exciting plot about the Riders failing to gel as a team. I've said this before but after Ghost that's a nice dynamic to see. I love how Kiriya's problem is less that he doesn't get along with anybody and more that they don't get along with him, too. Kiriya is the man. Anyways, bullet point time:

- Kiriya is the man. I know I just said that, but I wasn't sure that got across how much I love him.

- This is a cute touch I think deserves to have attention called to it. The usual "It's a big hit in theaters now!" during the opening actually says "It's a big big big hit" after Emu's Level 3 catchphrase.

- So I guess Yggdrasil is just using the Armored Riders to get data? Wait...

- Apparently Ren really misses his girlfriend. Wait...

- Man, Shinji is really having trouble getting the other Riders to put aside their differences and work together to fight monsters. Wait...

- Between Ghost, Specter, and Necrom, the catchphrases this season are really out of control. Do they really ALL have to say them in EVERY fight scene? Wait...

(I guess I'll spoiler tag this in case people don't look at the catalogs) My running theory is that Graphite comes back as Zombie Genm, since he has the belt. I feel like Genm not using a Gamer Driver anymore is significant. And also, you know, he'd be coming back from the dead. I think Dan will still have a role to play, though, just not as a Rider. At least not for a while. Of course, I could be wrong and Zombie Genm is just Dan still.
