At first, I thought it was weird that certain Core IDs have corresponding Raise Buckles, since IDs don't even have unique sounds. But when I thought about the passive perks granted by accessories, it made sense. Geats' muffler gives him increased situational awareness, so naturally that stat would make him the best shooter with Magnum. Buffa's cape gives him increased physical power, complimenting Zombie's strong melee attacks.

The Trump Jyamatos' gimmick reminded me of the Saguil Brothers from Zyuohger.

Team Geats & Na-Go FTW!

Alternatively, the two teams will tie for points and they both get eliminated! I feel like Punkjack is there to rig the game and create a scenario that Masked Guy wants to happen, something that would put Geats at a disadvantage.

He seems to hide his sadness too when he craves understanding in being angry to Ace which he perceives as a snob.

I can relate to Michinaga getting annoyed at Ace's frequent animal metaphors, especially since it wasn't even the right animal the first time, as Michinaga was quick to correct. I respect how he has a sense of pride in his work, like how he boasts he'll easily fix up Ace's house just to show off his skill as a construction worker to the rival that was talking down to him. Of course, we know his main reason for hating Ace is his complacence in Touru's death, which I presume Michinaga remembers when he touches the Core ID at the start of each DGP, so he'll be one of the few people who actually knows he existed in a previous world. That must be pretty lonely.

It could just be his lucky thighband. Maybe if he keeps giving Boost away, his luck stat will stack until he gets a Boost Mk. II!

I recall Henshinzero did compare it to Maze Runner, so maybe he was on to something there.
