[Switchblade]

Like I said last time, I really like this arc. Kintaros is just such a good dude and I love how he just wants to help his contract holder complete that one final karate match. I also like that this time Ryotaro lets the Imagin partner up with him knowingly; it's not an act of desperation or someone hijacking his body while he's asleep. Ryotaro actually makes the sacrifice of taking on another partner because he respects Kintaros and doesn't want him to die.

The stuff with Hana is pretty good, too. Kintaros shows her that not all Imagin are bad and she legitimately comes to respect him, but she can't quite commit to not still hating him. This helps flesh out why she's always so violent towards the others, even when they're being helpful (even if Momotaros and Urataros are usually about as helpful as a parachute in a lifeboat).

Not a lot to tell, really. TV-Nihon just completely whiffed the translation of the French phrase "madame et messieurs." I'm not sure how they made such an obviously stupid mistake, but they did and it became one of the most infamous examples of bad subbing on their part (probably second only to this gem).
