I remember watching this episode, and my feelings being like... this is a *fantastic* direction for Zero-One, it's a lot of great stuff that the job angle allows that the franchise can't usually dip into in a very different way, but it does have some pacing issues and it does go on a little too long -- and doesn't have a great way to wrap in the actual Kamen Rider fighting. But despite that and what's going on with Yua, overall a great success in my mind especially when paralleled with Fuwa's stuff.

Which without spoiling too much is kind of my feelings on the job competition arc as a whole? A lot of people really dislike it, and I get their reasons and I certainly have my criticisms - which'll become clear the more episodes of this we get - but overall I think these succeed at what they set out to do and it's left us with very interesting, unique storylines that Rider isn't able to usually do. Big fan of all this, basically!
