It's the only rider show I know of where this has happened.

We shall see which side of it you come down on.

Garren is the tertiary Rider. Blade is Chalice's secondary Rider.

it's also kind of crazy to think how fast this is all moving for him. In a lot of other shows, this development would take place over a more extended period of time, but so far this is only six episodes in! It always seems strange to me that a common complaint about Blade is that it has a slow start, because I feel like it moves at a pretty rapid pace.

Yeah, I think this is basically a long weekend for Tachibana?! He's gone from blowing up his job, to kidnapping his boss, to getting yelled at by the new kid, to having his boss pull the ol' Hologram And Magnesium Switcheroo (a classic), to kicking the new kid's ass, to finding out that his dreams of a painful death are just dreams and his crippling pain is basically psychosomatic.

(Also somewhere in there he may or may not have eaten a puzzle piece because he thought the puzzle symbolized his inevitable demise.)

Imagine the guy at BOARD who took a couple days off to go to Tokyo DisneyLand and comes back to that story from whoever is now working at BOARD because everyone else was killed by a biblical plague that Garren accidentally let loose.

He's just the best.
