And, yeah, if it wasn't obvious before; this is what I was talking about in regards to Titan being the closest Godai comes to being... well, heck, how better do I put it than 'living weapon'?

This episode lends credence to my theory of it being Godai in a really bad mood not just by using Rising Titan, but by having it be so much more savage. Before this it's been defined as a very slow minimalist killer -- it moves like a snail, and what little movements it uses beyond that are very deliberate to kill in as little moves as possible. But in this episode, once he reaches that Grongi; Godai just thrashes about as he whales on the dude. It becomes clear that it's not like Rising Titan couldn't make much quicker slices and dish out a lot more damage than was necessary -- it feels more like Godai was choosing not to do it. It makes the scene so much scarier for me by using Titan like this.


Kuuga always does a good job of making you think about where the line is drawn between necessity and indulgence, but these two episodes escalate it to a horrifying new level. Such an incredible job.
