So here we are at the appearance of my favourite random shot form the series: golden mouthed IXA.

One thing I like is that we get to see the new upgrade in the first fight of the storyline rather than the last (the only other cases of this I can think of are Grand Zi-O and Geiz Majesty). And instead of some personal journey, heroic willpower of friendship, or being invented because the last fight had no conclusion, they’re just “you have a phone now. Use it”. If it had defeated a monster in its first fight, my happiness would’ve been completed.

And since there are not one Fangire, but TWO Fangire (does a Count von Count laugh), here’s this episode’s Fact Fangire-le.

The time door here exists as set up for its much bigger role in the movie.

Deleted scenes this time: Megumi tries to plead her innocence and then tries to break the jail. The key word both times being “tries”
