All it took was everyone else being worse than him! Good point!

I'm enjoying -slash- starting to love these hapless teenagers, so this show still has that going for me. And I'm sort of the opposite on the topic of returning guest stars, where I was always intensely wary of the Legend components for this series? (Those Phase 2 movies were an unforgettable lesson in Be Careful What You Wish For.) So Takumi and Kusaka bumbling through this Zi-O story, clearly/predictably too caught up in their own drama to be of any real value to the teenagers of the story, that was all right on target for me. Them not Henshining, it's not something I ever gave too much thought to.

I didn't like the episode a whole lot, but it wasn't a total miss for me.
