Kamen Rider Blade Episodes 31-34 or so: King Arc
Feels like the show is finally ready to start answering some of the mysteries that we've been building to for the past 30 episodes! Mysteries I've known the vague answers to for years because it's common knowledge at this point, but mysteries all the same. Also time for Kenzaki to be put through the wringer, be it from everyone abandoning him just in time for the Category King to show up, a new evil scientist villain sending not-Undeads after him, and just generally having a big crisis of faith over whether he's doing the right thing fighting for other people, or more specifically, the right other people, especially if it puts those close to him in danger. But, in the end, with the help of Hirose, the most criminally underdeveloped character, he reaffirms himself. He is a Kamen Rider. He fights for those who can't, against the Undead that would do them wrong. And, right now, Hajime, Hirose, they're all people who can't fight for themselves. So he takes down King, and achieves the power to fight to protect himself too, to take down the Trial-D. And I'm sure there will be no consequences to these actions at all. Definitely not.

Also, just a random thought, but Tachibana would probably have more success if he told Kenzaki *why* it's such a bad idea for him to keep transforming, rather than just trying to take his belt and say "Trust me Kenzaki, things gonna go bad if you keep doing this." He's also far too trusting of the guy who cooked up monsters in his fridge and sent them to try to kill his workmate.

(Mutsuki is also here. I'm sure we'll get round to unpossessing him at some point.)
