Great episode as usual, although at this point Build is getting so crazy with these twists and turns that I'm almost too busy being excited for the next one to even talk about the here and now. What's gonna happen to Sento? Who else is in on the conspiracy? I mean, it's awfully convenient for the series' main plot device to be safely in government hands, right? This show does a really good job at balancing out the amount of questions raised with answers given per episode. Lesser shows with a big mystery angle would just start feeling monotonous with how stingy they are about actually telling the viewer things, but Build stays light on its feet.

Honestly I think the fact that we can all predict these twists fairly readily is just a testament to how cohesive Build has been so far. I mean, look what I had to say about all of this a month or two ago:

They could even do the big turn around later on in the show, where once Sento finds out who he is he gets all mopey and suddenly Ryuuga has to be the one to point out all the good he's done as Build (further playing into the general theme the show seems to have of what makes someone a hero). The narrative potential here is just too juicy. I could go on like this for a while. I'll actually be kind of angry if this ISN'T the case.

Note how basically all of that turned out to be the case, at least going off of the preview for next week, anyway. Of course it'd be great to have both, but if I had to choose between a twist that's surprising and a twist that makes sense, I'll take the latter any day.
