Give me Dead or Alive, rebirth or Full Force any day).

The Legend Rider elements may be handled differently, but I think the last four episodes have been good-to-excellent in how they've managed to keep a tight focus on Team Zi-O and their relationships. I think that's worth something?

I just assumed that Tsukuyomi has been aching to talk about this, and it's only after SEVEN MONTHS of teamwork that Sougo asks her about herself. These kids don't do a great job of emotionally supporting Tsukuyomi, no matter what Shouichi says. I mean, sure, she sometimes tries to guilt one of them into murdering the other, but still!

I also don't believe I've mentioned this before, but I find it funny how the characters eventually get tired of Woz's speeches (i.e., Tsukasa and Tsukuyomi), but I will never get tired of listening to them.

It honestly never gets old. Even as he's grudgingly engaged in combat as a retainer of Sougo, his heart is still in being a hype man. It's the sort of character detail I love, where someone's just got a weird hobby/passion that they need to incorporate into their Kamen Riding or whatever. It's neat!
