You're doing better than I am then! I mean, I love a story that uses a light touch, but this whole episode just made me feel like I missing... everything? There's a story about Asumu here that's really hard to get a grip on, and there's a story about Oni aligning that just kinda doesn't seem to even loosely parallel the Asumu story the way Hibiki's plots are supposed to be structured? A lot of the individual moments are done rather poignantly, but I wasn't getting a strong sense of cohesion here.

Hibiki and Ibuki teaming up to fight a flying tortoise, though, that I understood. Obviously this is the best episode of Hibiki ever because he pulls a Wizard and comes flying in from offscreen to drop kick a monster attacking Ibuki – the BEST way to make an entrance in a Rider show.

He also drives a bike in a way that playfully taunts the audience expecting Kamen Rider, which is one of the few moments of Hibiki I very clearly remembered. I'm usually the one clamoring for bike action, but I can't help but love how upfront they are here about that not being one of the things Hibiki is well-trained for.
