One of my favorite episodes in Saber, wholeheartedly. It's such a fantastic climax to Desast and Ren's characters and it was this episode that fully made me turn around on Ren to being like... "You know what? He's a fine kid" in terms of like, finally accepting him after being very fed up with him at the start of the show.

Like, there's just so much fun stuff to pick apart with in the fight, I could be here all night. And oyu picked some really good moments. I love Ren trying to imitate Rintaro because he thinks that's what he should do and it not working. I like Desast using Kyomu because it does have negation abilities, so that means Ren can't go super crazy with wind elemental techniques.

I love the visceral hits each of them takes all the while the music builds up to a wonderful slow ballad insert by I believe Mei's actress. Just... everything about this fight is so good, and on that alone, this episode already made it really good for me. The post credits scene was also just, really nice to see tbh.

Of course we have all the other stuff which while despite furthering the plot, was very much our B-Plot for the episode. That's not to say it wasn't entertaining though, there's some fun small moments.

Like Reika having a slight look of shame after seeing all the trapped souls in books, because as I said, despite the Megid playing in a whole other ballgame, she realizes that if she hadn't been blindly following orders and didn't split up the Northern Base, then some of these people would be saved.

Then there's the final fight with Charybdis who's just using everything in his arsenal, to which everyone else fights their hardest too. Touma pulling out Kaiji to swap with Ryoga was pretty cool, ngl. And of course we see that Charybdis is basically everything Storious wanted out of Desast and more, the chimera Megid basically becoming the pot to allow every single ingredient Storious collected to cook and create the new Ride Book.

So yeah, real good episode. My highlight of course is Desast and Ren, but the other plot stuff was also really good.

As for our story, it's an interesting insight into Reika... of which I think this is the first time you've used her? I think. I might be forgetting... but still, rather nice.

Now then, what you've all been waiting for...
