I know, right! It's like, when the show is already this amazing, it's always such a surprise when it manages to...

Oh, wait, you meant like... because you were doing a thing. Took me a second there, Die, but I figured it out! No, that wasn't a statement about the level of quality this show has achieved by this point, it was just the start of one of those kinds of posts I feel like you only do when you were seriously into what a Rider thing was talking about, where you talk way more about the *ideas* in the story than the story itself.

But uh, yeah, this stretch of the show is still amazing to the point where I don't know what to single out to add. Especially with an episode this masterful. (Even if I still don't like all the stock music.)

Just as a random thing, I guess, this episode has what I consider to be the definitive Master Logos dialogue exchange, where Tassel tells him it's not okay to play with humanity's fate, and he just goes "IIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIiiinnn desu yo!" It's like this really particular emphasis where you can tell exactly how little of a s*** he gives about what Tassel is saying, to the point he's laughing his way through that sentence, and it really sold on me Keisuke Souma's performance as the character. His prior big toku role was as a lovable clown of a hero back in Shinkenger, and I feel like he found some really great ways to apply those over-the-top mannerisms to a sketchy major antagonist instead. Hopefully you'll have as much fun with the guy as I did from here on, Die.
