-Hiromi! He feels so.....enlightened, in his current appearance. Almost if he had some really good and meaningful char development while he away (Toeiiiiii, I don't want to wait until August to see what happens in Dear Gaga!) I think he clicks really well into the role of support!(though I'd imagine theyre super eager to throw a belt onto him, we'll see?) His speech to Daiji is really solid, I enjoyed it.

-In this edition of "hey the Karizaki family stuff is pretty alright and is apporipately complicated!", do love that George immediately rejected the idea of Genta and them sneaking behind the family's back to do the surgery? George has already gotten a full taste of what stuff like that can do, after all...(Hey Masumi! I hope you washed your hands after falling to the floor like that, it'd be gross to touch Genta's innards with dirty hands!)

-...........Are we supposed to take Ikki shutting down the operation before its completion (it was at.....96% i think? something like that?) means that Giffard Rex can get even stronger at some point? Peharps its a subtle tease to a RealEyezing Hopper/Almighty Saber equivalent?

-.......Hikaru, you're still not winning any points from me. I was watching the raws and was like, "Damn! Really love that look on Hana's face when facing that giant mob, it's full of venom!" And then rewatching with subs I learn he had to a make a snide comment about how that doesn't fit her pretty face or something? Fuck right off with that, she's allowed to be as vicious as she likes to the person who essentially ruined her life!

-Oh hey, it's a final form! Do love that they went back to the original color scheme but slightly darker, but I feel it's a bit too busy for my own personal taste? The magnet powers are pretty sick tho, I'll give it that. (How much you wanna bet we'll never see that cloning gimmick again?) Shame we didn't have any powerful demon to kill with its debut fight, but reflecting an attack from Giff has to be worth something, right? Ultimate Revice ain't scoring highly on appearance/debut for me, but it works enough for what the show is doing.

-The bit at the end with Genta near the end, it's real cute! I do love when this family gets to mess around.

It's an ok episode, at best. Nothing too standout. However, as someone who's felt like Revice's been spinning its wheels for forever, it felt like the show has the chance to finally taken a step forward? Let's hope that chance isn't wasted!
