Those first four episodes of Faiz before they get to Tokyo will always be pretty special to me. Just such a nice little arc that makes getting all the pieces on the board an interesting story in its own right. I'm really glad you've taken such an immediate liking to the main cast, because I think whether you do or don't care about them is ultimately what makes or breaks Faiz. It's one of the more character-driven Rider shows out there, after all.

I'm also really proud of how you reacted to the Yuka stuff. It feels a little weird to say, but I think you kind of need to be able to laugh at this stuff to appreciate it. Like, it is unbelievably unbelievable, to a level even Inoue doesn't always go to, and while I'm not sure myself exactly how seriously you're supposed to take it, I do think having it be so extreme provides a very clear, strong foundation for Yuka's character going forward.
