Really liked the episode. Interesting how Sougo has grown too, and how predictable he's seen Geiz is, to the point of using him to get in good with Dan. That henshin was glorious too. This show is really getting some nice little twists in it.

Borderline is starting to feel like Woz is getting played too with how Sougo is picking up on their traits.

Also really liked the emphasis on OOOs and then Kurot-O and how that seems to be symbolically pushed onto zi-O.

The 9.5 was awesome. Loved that "toy company" remarks. And the extra quick praise to Kiva was very xD.

Lot of back patting buffered in these episode and the 9.5 but in a fun way. Especially extra funny with the puppy remarks at the end with the playful Woof Woof. This show is really quickly becoming one of my favorites, but damn there's a lot of backstage self-wankery going on, but done in really fun ways that feels really cathartic too.

Looks like we're starting to see the rise of Oma Zi-O, but I think there's still more we're not seeing. Sougo still has strong empathy and wants to help and talk things out. Only fighting back when pushed. So I think there's some stronger stuff coming up that'll push the Oma Zi-O elements further, or how that diverts from the current timeline. This episode seems to really highlight that Sougo is playing his own chess match while the rest are busy playing other games and jumping to assumptions/conclusions.

That's kind of complicated and a long story in itself. Not all are that bad though. A few of them are some really cool people and great artists of their fields, but a few vocal areas drown those reasonable cool ones out and give the group a bad name because of the flagrant arrogance/ignorance mixed, and sadly, is one of the reasons they lost an area that kept an eye on them for Toei/BoJ. So they're kind of stewing in that too. A select few names are still kept tabs on though for various future work reasons. But the arrogant/ignorant ones aren't exactly happy about that and still trying to embed themselves deeper when they're the ones holding the group back as a whole.
