If we draw the analogy further, then the tragedy in the past occurred because Yuri and Bakht did not have their own Rintaro. This makes this eclair lover even more appreciated. Still, I'm sorry that the traitor remained a faceless scoundrel with no motivation. Not that I want an excuse for him, but a more detailed disclosure of this story would clearly not hurt. Maybe someday TTFC will release a Saiko and Falchion special.

I feel like Bacht's story might've been planned for a longer usual-size movie, until you-know-what screwed everything up, so the rest was added to the show instead. ]That would explain why his reintroduction here is kind of messy, in addition to everything else happening, rather than feeling like a development that should've happened naturally. Not that I'm complaining though. I think Bacht is a good villain and when this episode does eventually delve in to his backstory, it's actually pretty cool!

I can imagine it. Or even an option where he appears as the "Saber`s villain " in a crossover with Zero-One, and then returns in a summer movie, where his backstory and connection with Yuri is revealed.
