I liked the subversion of expectations with the girl at the beginning of the episode. And how Spanner threw Lachesis out the window. Also the cooking competition is what the show is really like Kabuto's heir! Also, the omelette is purple, most likely due to the addition of currants. As for the episode as a whole, it's quite slippery. Because on the one hand, we are, as it were, being revealed new details about Spanner, but on the other hand, in fact, we are not learning anything new. Speaking of costumes, Burning Gorilla is quite simple, but cool in abilities. I like that they limited themselves to big fists and didn't turn the rider into an awkward turtle.
I'm also surprised that everyone is so positive about Spanner's interest in Rinna after his fake smile in episode 4. This guy is suspicious! I remember being a non-rider secondary comes with a certain trust bonus, but when was the last time we had a secondary that didn't do bullshit? Personally, I get Kaixa vibes from Valvarad: perfect in everything, confident that he can cope without the help of others and polite only towards the girl. Also purple. Unless he's afraid of getting dirty.
Regarding memory: I don't think Spanner doesn't remember "unimportant people." He is too ideal for this and focused on his work.
And obviously the assignment of A-class should have been memorable for him. And also the moral: “Let your actions speak for you.” So his words were either deliberate contempt, or his memory was also erased. After all, as this episode showed us, even alchemists have their memories erased.
By the way, I wonder how hard Minato worked on Bolt? After all, if he only forgot his existence as Malgam, then he must continue to pursue Spanner, and this certainly will not happen. Did Minato erase his memory only from the moment of defeat or did the guy completely forget everything related to alchemy. Judging by his despair, he himself meant the second option.
P.S. Also, for some reason Bolt’s antics seemed similar to Legend’s behavior in the teaser.
