-Hey! Akaishi commented on Revice's new power, but Daiji....You were literally watching their debut, saw them dispel a direct attack from the Giff you're so scared of, and yet you still say what they're doing is a waste of time?! I know he's off the deep end, but not even addressing Ultimate's potenial seems like he's being willfully ignornant.

-I know I'm probably not supposed to take Vice's line seriously but like. I wonder how "peaceful" method of combating Giff even work..? I haven't been keeping my pulse on the show's mythos on demons(Im not sure the show is either, at certain points!) but like. Isn't Giff like, an alien or something. I feel like that inherently puts a wrench in understanding each other, in comparsion to normal demons, who are inherently connected to humanity, in all its good and evil? It's a tricky thing to figure out.

-We get more Hikaru focused beats! I actually did want something like "Although the Ushijima family is a mere ruse, Hikaru grows attached and starts seeing them as such, and protecting that "family" is a major part as to why he fights as Over Demons". However, this is.....Ngl, it's an interesting idea with a fumbled exceution? For starters, Weekend Mom's been absent for like a dozen eps, quitely returning to the cast at EP 36. She's by far the least developed of the family by a landslide. If they wanted to make me feel something, at least give them a moment or two, can't you?

(I will say Vice suddenly going up and hugging him, that was unexpectedly sweet.)

-The last chunk of this episode....it's a Lot! There's always been an implication that Daiji and Sakura are a bit closer to each other than to Ikki (younger siblings typically are!) so Sakura being unwilling to fight makes sense, but her staying untransformed for so long feels a bit weird? We've seen Jeanne can play defense plenty of times before too? Daiji..is a mess! For all his talk about justice and protecting the world, he really just sounds a blubbering fool trying to lick his wounds, hurling insults at his family that could be easily directed at him. It's ugly, it's pathetic, it's an downright embrassing look-and I'm kinda enjoying the ride. Granted, I wish the road to this path wasn't so.....ham-fisted/strung together at points. Looking forward to see how the hell Ikki pulls him back from this one seeing the level of delusion he's operating on.

Maybe Hiromi (even Kagero) do something about Daiji's problem. Some darkness is missing in Daiji now. He's to blinded by order and not letting chaos be.
