It’s Faiz time again! As usual, spoilers below.

I didn’t want to make such a big pause but it happened anyways. But I had some free time yesterday so I watched episodes 11-15. And I encountered Kaixa / Kaisa / Kaiser? I swear I always imagined he’s called "Kaixa" with an actual x, like Ixa from Kiva.

I looked forward to meeting this guy since when I first watched Kamen Rider with Gaim and Micchy started doing his thing everyone was like "Kaixa Reloaded" and stuff like that. So I always knew he’d be a giant douchebag. And it’s starting to happen now, although I assume it’s going to get a lot worse.

Anyways, the Kaixa suit itself is awesome, I like it. Faiz continues to have kickass Rider designs. And his X-weapon is kinda cool too, I dig it.

Story-wise I was introduced to "Lucky Clover" which is apparently the elite among the Orphenoch. Mister J (no, not that one) is kinda weak for being one of them though as he already died twice and hasn’t really shown a tremendous power-up in his third live so I assume he’s gone soon? I guess you can only get so much screentime out of a foreign actor who doesn’t seem to speak Japanese. The deal with his Chihuahua is kinda cute though.

Can’t really say too much about the rest of them, although the poem-guy is currently after our renegade Orphenochs. Which are really nice by the way. I dig Osada’s current involvement with Keitaro as well as Takumi, as the latter was saved by her, knows her secret and fought for her against Kaixa. And she doesn’t really wan’t to kill people but can’t help but do it since there are always shitty people who want to harm her.

And my favorite Orphenoch, Kaido, is doing something new to: He wants to be a human now. Huh. Also Osada apparently has a crush on him? Even though she's also into Keitaro? That's kinda weird considering Keitaro works with Mari who Kaido has a crush on. I expect this will become a lot more frustrating in the future
