As far as power-up episodes go, this was kinda underwhelming, especially for a final form. That fight was really kinda nothing? Purple guy didn't even get in a 'how can this be?!' line or anything. I did like that Ikki's father got involved in the process, and that we didn't just do a reiteration of Ikki and Vice's strenghtening their bond for the fourth time in a row.

What I'm really interested in is Daiji though, because it looks like the show is finally progressing with his descent to the dark side. I don't know if this is going to be the conflict for just a two-parter or if it'll be the status quo up until near the end, not necessarily saying either option is better than the other. But after how long its felt like they've just been hammering the same point with the guy, I'm looking forward to seeing his issues reach boiling point and bring him into conflict with his siblings. (Though I do hope that said conflict involves both his siblings rather than just Ikki, buuuut things are definitely looking like this can only culminate in a 1on1 between Revi and Live).

It like... doesn't matter, and has never been important, frankly. Not like anything Hiromi says in this particular episode looks like it's going to make a difference to Daiji anyway.
