I choose to interpret this as meaning that my Shotaro & Philip ship is still intact and you can't convince me otherwise.

Anyway, yeah, this whole arc really wasn't my thing for the most part. Probably the biggest reason as to why being that I just really didn't find any of the characters or the scenario in general all that engaging. Even the conflict between Philip and Tokime felt really bland to me at best and forced at worst.

But, in regards to this episode, there were still some highlights. The fight that took up the whole first half of the episode was nice, and I did like the added touch of the spikes popping out of suit at the end of FangJoker's' Henshin.

As well, those final few minutes with the Aurora Dopant made for a great hook and setting up the ideology of whom I presume is our Big Bad. So hopefully the next arc will be more my speed.
