Not gonna lie, for a brief moment I was very much invested in the thought of Zooous yeeting Mei right out of this show. I wish he did. Such a useless, annoying and terrible character. I get why they have her, a character bound in reality is needed as a counterpoint to all the fantasy swordsmen but I wish she wasn't so... ridiculous. Given we have the Ghost people at work here it's kind of understandable though, they only really know how to do the Onari-kind of comedic character apparently and Mei perfectly follows suit.

Anyways, at the moment I’m invested in two things happening:

- Calibur's identity. Just because it's weird that they showed the actor before but still obscure his face now, and his voice is clearly Blood Stalk'ed too.

- Daishinji / Slash, because I really like his character and how they're setting up his inevitable Rider-identity. The scene where he was sitting in the base, knowing he is needed by his fellow swordsmen but can't bring himself to join them was really good. Excellent tease with the weapon as well.

Lastly, random thoughts: Did they drop the filter for the Wonder World portion or did they forget? Also, I very much enjoy the non-stock footage transformations, more of that please.
