I love how from this episode, it's clear the writers know their Agito lore.

In the original show, anybody could become Agito once their powers fully developed. So it makes sense here that Another Agito can forcefully create more Another Agitos.

Then in Agito, the Unknown only attacked people who displayed psychic abilities and powers, which meant they would mostly ignore G3/G3-X users. But here, in a nice little inversion, the Another Agitos ignore the actual Riders (at least our core Riders) and strictly focus on attacking the G3 unit.

This nod may not have been intentional, but it definitely works out.

The beginning of the episode felt just like the beginning of Agito and that was a great little throwback. I was almost convinced that I was watching some footage from Agito for a second.

And of course, seeing Shouichi again is always awesome, especially since, like with Blade, it seems like a direct continuation of his story.

I'm loving this recent stretch of Zi-O episodes honestly.
