Oh, so that's how the kibi dango fits in here. Even though the method of preparing it doesn't necessarily seem that important, it's the effort that Saruhara and Kito put in to it that makes it special to Tarou. In other words, Tarou's companions are the kibi dango that keeps him going, figuratively speaking. Eating food prepared by someone who cares about you is also a connection to be grateful for!

The zero motivation Don Momotarou fight sequence was humorous. Even his parade crew weren't feeling the festival mood. Actually, the dancers didn't even look like the same girls from before, did anybody else think that?

Kaito finally makes his debut fight as Zenkaizer Black, since it's an emergency, although he lacks the means to fight Tokumeiki. Maybe he's not considered a Player Character like the Donbrothers, so the best he can do his stall for time. No explanation for what his deal is, but now that Kito knows his identity, she'll probably confront him about it later.

A little unsettling how easily Kijino reverted to his kind and gentle self after his brief moment of accomplice to murder last week. Certainly makes him an intriguing character to watch though! Looks like Sonoza's constantly harassing everybody with his emotional curiosity whenever he's not fighting, so it was nice to see Kijino try and make him laugh for real.

Tokumeiki is simultaneously the youngest and oldest Hitotsuki host we've seen so far, like how Jin Masato was simultaneously 27 and 40 years old.

Next time.... Kito gets a call from NASA?
