Oh man this episode was straight gold. The first one to not only match how entertaining the premiere was, but actually surpass it. We've been getting a very character-building set of episodes around this point since Gaim, but like, dang.

The writing on Build so far has just been stellar. I remember everybody saying Ex-Aid 5 episodes in felt like most Rider shows halfway through and not buying it, but here? I seriously hope this Shogo Muto guy just pulls the same trick of writing the entire show, because the worst episode so far, 2, was the worst largely because there was TOO much drama, which almost sounds more like an accomplishment than a mistake.

I should get to the actual episode, though. I loved it. It moved at a great clip, had some good action as usual (they're seriously spoiling me with the bike), and the character stuff with Sento, Ryuuga, and Sento AND Ryuuga was fantastic. There's just so much dimension to these guys and when you put them together, they really are a Best Match duo. Like, Ryuuga turning around and actually having to be the voice of reason to Sento towards the end was just- like it was SO good, and then Ryuuga pointedly calls Sento just by his name and Sento is just like-



- so then I'm just like-



- and like man this show is so good. It's been 6 episodes and I still haven't even gotten around to mentioning how great the villains are it's so good.
