[Switchblade]

Yeah, this one didn't work that well for me. I think the main issue was that it crossed the line with Tendou.

Tendou is a tricky character to work with. Being an arrogant prick is very much central to his nature and that's a hard trait to build your show's main character around. It's really easy to take it too far and make the character turn obnoxious. I think Kabuto generally does a good job of avoiding that, but I feel like this episode took Tendou too far. Strolling into ZECT and getting put in command of Shadow, waltzing into a hospital and get trusted to perform surgery, the whole "I'm the greatest human alive" bit. It went too far. I usually love Tendou when he's being a troll, but this episode just went overboard in a way that I found more annoying than amusing.
