Episode 13: Sensui

Right away, I will say that I like this second set of OP and ED than I do the second OP of the original GARO and the first ED of Makai Senki.

But more importantly, Jabi is back!

It was a nice surprise in that not only is she back, but almost the entire episode is dedicated to her as the center focus. The premise being that she's the only one who Koga trusts to fix Zaruba's' recent malfunction.

And the general way that alot of the episode flowed reminded me alot of Kamen Rider Hibiki, what with the generally lighter atmosphere and all of the outdoor locations that this was filmed at. But of course, that all changes come the climax when Red appears.

The fight itself was pretty cool. Really loved the shot of Red blowing up the clouds above them. But with this encounter comes the biggest focus on Red's' identity that been displayed so far, and so I'll say it here: I've been of the mind that Leo is a bait and switch. All through the show so far, the hints that's he's Red have been so blatant that I just can't buy that the show would be that obvious about it.

If it somehow does turn out to be the case though, I feel like I won't be so much mad as I would be disappointed, ya know? Not as disappointed as another possible path that this show might take, but still.

Regardless, for what the episode was, I had fun with it. Good to see so many old faces returning to the show!
