Yeah, I've got to agree with you on this episode, while I like the first half well enough and some parts of the second, my main issue is that Kento's "death" didn't really work for me?

It just felt like a retread of last episode's ending, except this time, it's "for real", and even with that, I won't lie, I have zero faith that Kento or anyone in Kamen Rider who dies this early one will actually remain "dead". As you said in your post, I'm pretty sure due to that shot of the Calibur sword, that Kento will return as the new Calibur or something, and even if he doesn't, I'm still almost entirely certain that he won't remain dead.

Besides that, I also don't like Dragonic Knight's design, maybe it's because it's mostly just a repaint of the regular suit, except with more silver, I don't know the exact reason, it just doesn't work for me. Also, I don't really like how Touma got the power-up, it's stated to be because of Luna or something? I dislike how the Wonder Ride Book just flies over to Touma because he said he wouldn't give up, something which I'm pretty sure he's already said numerous times before, but I guess since he has his memories back, it does something now? Maybe they'll elaborate on it later, but for now, I dislike it.

Aside from that, this episode was decent? I still did like the first half, and I didn't entirely hate the second half, it might be the worst Saber episode so far for me, but even then, it's not enough to make me drop the show or anything, I just hope that the show improves from here on out.
