There were like twenty different scenes in Build where Sento and Banjo boost one another up by demonstrating their perfect understanding of each other. And I liked just about all of them!

It's a great pairing, and it's definitely a core pillar of this show, but I don't think it's on the same level as Banjou and Sento. The big giveaway for me is that this show's combo form is Zi-O Trinity, while Build's is RabbitDragon. Sento only needs Banjou! He loves his found family, but he needs Banjou. (And the show knows it. That final scene!)

With this story... like, Geiz is the hard one to get, but this episode still finds time to reunite Sougo with Tsukuyomi, and lament Woz'z absence. There's a ton of power in the Geiz/Sougo story, and the series is 100% aware of it, but Sougo isn't a one-friend guy.
