Kenzaki is not tiny, no. Hajime, however, is a pocket-sized Rider.

I think that's selling the Long Game part of this arc short? This isn't a random two-part story with some iffy concepts that the cast and crew salvaged; this was the culmination of twenty-eight episodes worth of plots and subplots. It's a great scene because the actors are great, but it's a great story because of months of setup.

Note that Swartz is a TIME TRAVELER, HE TRAVELS THROUGH TIME, HE CAN PREDATE WHATEVER HE WANTS

Secondly, I feel like a lot of Geiz'z actions (and words!) in this episode are undoing that nihilistic stance from previous episodes. The idea that Sougo is a problem he has to solve -- violently -- feels like something Geiz had moved past. Maybe I give that kid too much credit!

My take on it has always been that that's exactly why the two of them just bust out laughing when she shows up and says they don't need to fight anymore. Because they see Tsukuyomi is fine, and before she even says a word, they both kinda already got that they just lost half the reason they're still bothering with this.

Technically, it's Sougo who brings up Tsukuyomi first (he's asking Geiz to bring everyone home to 9-to-5), but it's definitely something Geiz can't quite bring himself to confront.

I think you're probably right about why Geiz and Sougo are still going to fight each other (Sougo promised Geiz, and Geiz still has Tsukuyomi's blood on his hands), but I wish this episode had given each of them a line of dialogue or two to explain things.
