I've really got hand it to this show for ludicriously epic it knows how to make its fights between Garo and Zero. Things are already awesome enough from last episode's climax, and then here comes the start of this one, with this really thoroughly considered escalation where it just gets more and more intense and brutal, to the point we've got the two of them just beating on each without even using their swords. You can tell how much attention was given to making sure the fight itself kinda has a narrative of its own, rather than simply being one beat of a larger story. Extremely impressive stuff.

Of course, that larger story was still just as good as they usually are lately. There's just as many revelations and twists as ever, but they all start to get us to a point where the protagonists can maybe start working against what really stands in their way, with some of the doubt filling the past couple episodes cleared up. This show has gotten me very, very invested in where it's going!

"Black Flame", though, huh? Could've sworn I remember a picture book with that in the title, but once again, I'm sure nothing about this is of any importance.

(Also, I'll just note here that Savior in the Dark is stuck in my head constantly lately, so, without taking back anything I said, I think I'm starting to understand why they couldn't resist making it the opening.)
