*Sento's first action is turning against his friend and killing a guy*
"Oh.....oh no "

I've never so looked forward to seeing a new form and then almost immediately regretted it.

This show man,..it messes with my emotions. It really drives home the point that the curse of The Masked Rider is that you fight, whether you want to or not,..you're now a living weapon and you don't really get a say in the matter.

Which is a theme introduced by Hongo in the very first series and I guess is a prevailing theme all throughout the years, but man this episode really drove that point home, hard,..with tears and PTSD. Holy shit!
