Yeah, I realize that I was maybe a little of Ishizumi as a character, and how hard the show hits the HE'S SO LAZY ALL THE TIME WITH HIS EATING AND LOUNGING button, so let me talk about a little detail that worked for me and this character.

When the Magear bursts in for the final battle, Ishizumi grabs his pen off his desk to save it. Like, dude thinks he's either going to get murdered by the robot with a drill head, or the laser-light animals that are shooting through his walls, and he grabs the pen that he stopped using years ago.

It's a really nice character detail, that he's still the same creator deep inside, but it's also a key to him understanding how the Humagears should best be utilized. They're a tool, just like his pen. The pen can't work without him, and he's not himself if he doesn't use the pen. The symbiosis of that -- tool and craftsman -- is the point of the Humagears. One AI doing backgrounds and assists? Sure. An entire crew doing every detail while he eats all day? Wrong.

So, yeah, I also liked how this episode talked about humans coexisting with technology!
