[Kiwami]

Mama & Papa putting on a fake fight to make Ikki think about how he solved his fights with Daiji in the past was the cutest thing, I really liked that. It’s great to see these characters interact like this after seeing the Vail special; these two really are made for each other.

Rest of the episode was interesting too; I weirdly enjoy the idea that Akaishi sees a kindred spirit in Daiji. Maybe Akaishi has potential as a character beyond the boring villain, because eventually he might realize that he is the one who isolates Daiji and puts him through the same torment he had to endure for so long. Which is another nice thing about Akaishi – he always thought he did the right thing, but was always alone because of it. I never thought about it like that before.

The Weekend drama was quite nice too, even though I still don’t care about Over Demons, and I say “Over Demons” specifically because I still haven’t memorized the name of the character behind it. He’s just so … bland. Even if the scenes he partakes in have worked for me.

Next week seems promising because Papa goes to the offensive, maybe Kamen Rider Vail can return as a heroic character when the demon Vail gets suppressed by his other half? And also – the weird trooper Riders. No thank you. I certainly hope it’s not Hiromi transforming here, I want the real Demons back!
