Also hopefully that means upgrades for Valvarad and Majade are on their way.

Yeah, like, it generally makes sense for the Riders in this show to be Riders. The only Rider villain is Dread who appeared second after Gotchard, as the Dark Sisters got inside help from Alchemist Union. Fitting that Dread has teamed up with Gotchard once, with Clotho as the user. The Dark Kings are the source of the Malgams, so it makes sense for them to resemble their creations, in contrast to Riders being something with a human touch. Feels truer to the philosophy than say, Solomon.

With Wind out of action while Fuuga heals his body, maybe he'll help Majade get her Final Form.

Rainbow Gotchard had "Gotcha" on his side, the friendship between human and Chemies that Gigist couldn't understand.

Dude is just a lot in terms of his personality, mannerisms, etc and I kind of love it? The idea of a villain who is like "What I'm doing is the right thing because it's nature because I said so, so just let me push myself onto you" makes a fun kind of crazy.

I like the scene where Germain hunches over and his chest arms make him look like he's about the pounce. He talks and acts kind of like Dugded from King-Ohger. Curious to see what Gaelijah's personality is like, since she only had like 2 lines so far.

Something tells me he'll still take center stage at the end and we'll see Germain and Gaelijah take up the central antagonist role for the next several episodes while he recovers. But who knows, Gotchard's unpredictable like that.

Intriguing how there's a conflict between Gigist and his fellow kings based on how Germain dismisses his desire to understand humans as useless, much like how the Alchemy Union see Chemies. Gigist really is the Houtarou of this trio, while Germain is the Spanner, zealously attached to his rigid impersonal values in a way that's likely to bite him later. If Gigist is capable of acknowledging his mistakes and learning from them even a little, then perhaps he may find a way back on top of the villains.
