[Blade Raider]

Great episode.

-Glad to see them get back to the police plot.

-Kizaki seems to be this show's Hojo! I love characters like this because they are meant to be hated. How I hope this guy sticks around for awhile. He only needs to become a Rider for one episode and then run away while pissing in his pants and the reincarnation Hojo will be complete.

-Gargoyle is all kinds of awesome. Him turning to stone was a fun visual.

-I like the Haruto activately hunts Phantoms. They've touched upon it before, but it's still nice to see.

-Seems Dragon mode enables Wizard to use spells on his sword/gun that he couldn't before. Could be wrong. Eitherway, big sword is big.

-I like that we got a flashback to see Phoenix rise from literal ashes.

-This episode had very little Shunpei and that's a good thing.
