Oh this episode man do I have a few comments about this one. Let's start off with the peak comedy of both Keitaro and Mari receiving concussions this episode, Keitaro from Takumi roughhousing with him after proclaiming how he's so cool and awesome ...... and Mari from falling up the stairs in a perfect gif moment.

Regarding Kageyama killing Yuka I think the reason that's more acceptable is for how it makes everything that's going to happen from here on out all the more tragic.

And I want to go back to my comment about Kiba using his left hand in his henshin pose as Faiz how if you know the older connotations about left handed people and how it tends to be used in media paints the idea that something is off and just wrong. As Kiba is someone who in another Rider series would be the main character excluding his two murders but he's been at best an incredibly heroic and just anti-hero as I feel Takumi's comment about how they're fighting in an attempt to deny what they truly are has merit for Kiba. He's someone who after resurrecting as an Orphnoch experienced first hand how scummy people can be and killed his ex-girlfriend and cousin for betraying him and being assholes about it. and his steadfast refusal on killing other people was due to wanting to repress those memories and pretend that it never happened. With that being why he's claimed a few times that he's a human first and foremost *providing I'm remembering correctly).
