[Switchblade]

One of the things that struck me watching this episode is how Yuka and Kaido are essentially polar opposites in how they relate to Yuuji. Kaido talks big game about being a monster and killing humans or rogue Orphnochs, but it's all talk. The moment he gets a chance to actually take out Yuuji he can't commit because, at his core, he's not a killer. Yuka, on the other hand, seems completely loyal to Yuuji and his vision of living in peace with humans, but the minute she's on her own she's luring punks to their deaths.

(There’s a tension I get when I see that bridge. I’m both excited over the big Gills/Agito fight that occurred there, and depressed when I think about how bad the next two episodes of Agito after that were. Complicated feelings about Gills Bridge!) I don’t really have much to say other than… it looks like we’ll be getting a new Rider soon! I like that they seem to be the X to Faiz’s O! It’s probably Kaixa, which is a name I think I’ve heard more often than Faiz! I’ll know for sure in another episode or so!

This is a moment I've been looking forward to, and it happened earlier than I remembered. I've watched a lot of Kamen Rider but this is still, hands down, one of my favorite Rider designs ever. It's a gorgeous suit and it has some fantastic gear associated with it.
