So. At Episode 23; here's a few more thoughts I wanna throw out there:--

- Man, the Side Basshar was not alone in the Classic Inoue Move™ of just not explaining new toys, huh? Not only do we have any clue where Kaixa got the Axel Timer, no-one questions it. Awesome.

- I'm so glad the pizza guy got to live

- Kusaka just keeps becoming worse and worse of a character. I just watched him degenerate completely into a possessive stalker bordering on incel who kills any guy his crush even looks at, which is before he even says he wants her as his mother. This series... this series really goes places, huh?

- Kaidou is like a less extreme version of Kusaka so I don't exactly enjoy him either anymore. Kinda wish he'd stop.

- Takumi and Kiba should just kiss already. Their chemistry is amazing; their in-suit fights are tragic, and that smile at each other when they team up against all odds before Takumi got the Axel Timer was just perfect. If there's ANYTHING I like in this series right now, it's these two and I'm super interested in where their dynamic goes.

- Auto Vajin is still the best Rider, but the best character by a long shot is Chaco
