This was definitely a two-parter. At least we got the cool Triceratops Dopant suit, which unfortunately gets sidelined for a giant CG monstrosity in the show and in Memory of Heroez. I forgot the giant form was in Memory of Heroez and thought Triceratops just wasn't in the game at all. They really should've just stuck with the standard suit.

Also we get a new bike attachment I guess? I forgot how sudden most of Terui's stuff is thanks to Shroud who made me laugh at how she just, appeared, this episode. At least Fang had an episode of build-up before actual use.

That being said, I did basically remember that our guest police woman was our Dopant near immediately. She just appears way too conveniently after Triceratops runs off that I wonder if I was even shocked at the conclusion of the first part of this episode.

Also I forgot how kill happy Ryu is. The dude just goes straight back to executioner mode and the odd part is like... we're not addressing that? No for some reason Shotaro's hung up about Aya's morality or something and not... Terui was going to just kill someone. Like even Philip was alright with it and like, "Guys, you just had a conversation around something similar when you first met Terui, like what?"

Next is... I completely forgot how stupidly twisted Aya's goal becomes? When she went to threaten Saeko and I saw it play out I'm like "Oh right she's basically going full in on being a corrupt cop, get on Museum's good side and her plan is to basically take out all of the heads when the time is right but she goes crazy". And the show goes nope and instead says "Yeah no she's decided the city is the problem cause of overdosing on Triceratops".

Shame I didn't jive too much with this one outside some fun little scenes and interactions (Makura's antics with the Narumi Detective Trio was great) but man I wish the Triceratops suit had been used in a better story.
