Episode 4 of Blazar was typically solid. Loved the focus on Emi's undercover work, love the blunt visual storytelling of the antagonist's scrapbook of his own greatness burning up after his evil plan falls apart (almost as much as I love Emi causally tossing the book on the ground before that), and I love that the whole story was only made possible because somebody lost track of important paperwork, because that gets right back to that sharp intent in the themes I mentioned talking about episode 2.

And speaking of communication, I'm really loving the currently wordless, kinda stealth buddy cop dynamic Gento and Blazar have? The idea of Blazar being the one who chooses when to transform especially is just brilliant; it's extremely endearing here seeing him all ready to fight while a surprised Gento hastily scrambles to engineer the usual window to run around a corner where nobody will see him do his thing. Like they just don't quite have this whole partnership thing down yet, which again, could make for a very satisfying arc depending on where the show takes it.
