Not much can be drawn so far in this episode, seems to be transitional.
For the beginning, I like on how the crimes done by the Deadmans are taken more seriously, in how others immediately arrest Orteca (golden chance of him without powers or connection currently), as well as Aguilera acknowledging that she's (and Tamaki) someone need to be punished for that, but waiting after their battle is over. Still watching in anxiety for this regarding how Orteca survived and a chance of him to be redeemed instead, but so far Revice doesn't take the crimes made by them lightly, unlike something like Zero-One where
Gai
gets away scot-free. And after all this time, Tamaki still holds a grudge against him to instantly resort into beating him up the seconds he find him. That'd be the latest display of the furious Furio after so long.
After Tamaki's return of display of fury, later the set up seems to be about characters others are protective to, but doesn't want to be like that (and are insisted to stay at Weekend base). Though Tamaki's hella repetitive in this, Hiromi once again seems to be a relatable solution to another character, about how both him and Tamaki are now the non-Riders in the group, Hiromi too was an underdog who got bullied, not only in childhood but also by early George and Chameleon Deadman in Fenix at the beginning, his failures aside, as well as being once the weakest recruit, but Hiromi did become the top graduate and later got his Commander position back, so perhaps he's the one that can make Tamaki feel useful as a non-Rider. Other than that, yeah, of course a nicer Aguilera would directly tell him that they'd want him safe, rather than acting bitchy to drive him away like ep. 23. Sakura should take notice of at least her becoming more honest to her feelings.
Then there's Lovekov who Sakura keeps in the base or at safe place especially after noticing her injuries, and it seems that Lovekov had enough of being protected and seems agitated by Sakura giving her similar treatment as the brothers (and Yukimi) gave her earlier, thus she rushes into battle. Luckily for her, Giff wants the Igarashis at his side, so not even the Gifftarians attack her at middle of battlefield, but that still causes a miscommunication in Sakura focusing on protecting her instead of hearing what she wanted to tell. Perhaps the next part would have Sakura, someone who doesn't want to be over-protected (by her family) to learn to not give others that treatment too.
After leaving the Happy Spa in good terms with others, George claimed about Vice being weird for a demon as he doesn't feel like one, which he credited to Ikki. Which Vice is another him and representation of his.. vices. Gotta wait for the next ones or the upcoming movie (again, separating...) if there'd be more explanations about how a demon's personality works (seems that Vice changed for the better when Ikki stops being resentful for himself and found better purpose in life?). And the rest are questions about why Vice can be a vessel for Giff, and how Giff freed himself from the sealing before (my guess can be about how Giff can simply make a portal back to the world, which'd mean Ultimate Revi/Vice's portal was useless and shortsighted). Now Giff does have clear upper hand to the heroes, finally, in how their finishers don't work on him. Wasn't Ikki the one who said that? Perhaps they're just desperate at this point.

I love the fact that Daiji and Kagero are still on each other's throat and the way Ishida directed the constant clash between Daiji and Kagero was splendid. These two are like Tom and Jerry in a way that they obviously doesn't like each other but deep down they know they need their other pairing to work the best. It's not Tom without Jerry and it's not Daiji without Kagero. It's black and white with no distinct gray area but that might be our true nature as a human.
Good summary of how their relationship can be like Tom and Jerry (=still frenemies at best). Which'd mean you don't minimize Kagerou's taunting and ego throwing as "banters" or such, which often happen in various relationships with close proximities, dunno why. While of course they need the other pairing and both'd appreciate each other more than the last time, yeah, doesn't mean they're best buddies who have "banter" with each other.

Daiji's already firmly on good and hero's side from the beginning until before ep. 37. He's quite the reverse of many secondary Rider developments that he was straight up heroic but became worse person (until ep. 44) later while many secondary Riders are morally questionable but later become better person. And honestly, previously though Fenix is Akaishi's machination, many Fenix members seen are also generally heroic and righteous, with George (+Masumi's demon) as the outlier, someone being good isn't done by leaving/not being a part of Fenix (Chigusa became evil by leaving it), as individual isn't necessarily occupation.
