Aw, thanks! It was a fun one to write.

And, yeah, I like how basic Rintaro is. He seems like he'd be the guy everyone liked working with, but when you hung out with any other coworker you'd be like What Is Rintaro's Deal. I think we've all worked with someone like that?

I think, to me, the mystery is less in how Calibur betrayed the Sword of Logos (although I'm sure that has some wrinkles we have not been privy to), but that Calibur is a masked villain in a group of unmasked villains, which means there's something about his identity that the show doesn't want us to know yet. But, honestly, I'm not terribly invested in either mystery.

I bought a Titan-class Predaking! I do not need to be convinced that a lion's head for a chestplate is a good idea! Full agreement!

Ha ha, yeah, that's my second-favorite pre-show Tokunation Saber anecdote, when folks were like It's Obviously "Blaze", and then they got furious when he was a water guy, doesn't Toei even know what Blaze means, etc etc. Incredibly funny nerd drama.

(My favorite pre-show Tokunation Saber anecdote was when some guy showed up, claiming insider knowledge about the main suit and the Henshin device, leading to a couple weeks of badly-drawn sketches and amateur Shotaros trying to debunk it all... until it turned out this brand-new member was 100% right, and we all got a sneak preview of exactly what the gimmicks and drivers and suits would be. Literally the only time in the history of the internet where someone dropped out of the sky claiming insider knowledge who actually had it. What a time to be alive!)
