[Switchblade]

I don't remember the first time I saw the Zanki/Todoyama transformation in the... abandoned mining town, maybe? It was before I saw the complete show and I tuned into part of that episode because of some reason - or maybe I saw it in a YouTube compilation, I'm honestly not sure. In any case, it's one of the single scenes in Hibiki that has stuck with me the most over the years and I always get excited watching our guys walk through the town while the Douji and Hime distantly flank them.

I unabashedly love everything about the guitar Oni. I love the suit designs, I love the transformation bracelets, and I love the hell out of the ongekigen (the guitar weapon). I always look forward to the moment when these guys arrive and complete the show's main cast. We're getting a little crowded now, for sure, but I can deal with a big, happy family.

Also, loved the scene with Hinaka on the phone. The beat when she realizes that Zanki has taken over never fails to make me laugh.
