[Nokination]

A pretty good episode this time around, even if the first 15 minutes is a bit too similar to the Tarou and Sonoi duel episode a few weeks back. (Even though the similarities are pointed out and are most certainly intentional.) Of course, what most people are going to want to talk about is the latter half of this episode, in which, Sonoi reappears with red streaks in his hair, red eyes, and acting exactly like Tarou, even having his own entourage. He and Tarou start fighting, and Sonoi even kills the Hitotsuki, in some form, since we didn't get to see the typical cube shattering that happens when a Hitotsuki is killed by a Noto.

After that, Murasame is then brought in, and summons a Black Onitaijin, which appears to be fully CG, which is what I expected, but I've really been liking the suited Onitaijin fights so far, so it's a bit of a shame to see a fully CG mech this time around. The Donbrothers, of course, win the fight, and we then get a repeat of what happened between Sonoi and Tarou a few weeks ago, but this time, Tarou instead being the one to fall. Anyways, a pretty good episode in my opinion, and continuing the string of major-plot episodes that we've been getting, and the next episode seems to be no different, considering the preview.
