Wonderful episode. Seeing Spanner at Fuuga was unexpected, but essentially logical. Unlike Hotaro and his friends, Spanner lives according to the principles of the older generation, when a loner puts an unbearable load on his shoulders. Hotaro also demonstrates intelligence by using the rules of Galejah against herself. Again, as I already mentioned when Majade used Eclipse: smart use of existing forms is much cooler than the emergence of a new one. And let only someone declare that Wild Forms are useless and unnecessary.
The duel organized by Galejakh was very dynamic and emotional. As for why she didn’t see her failure, I have several options:
- limited prophetic abilities;
- she did not look at Hotaro’s fate and therefore did not take into account his intervention;
- she herself accidentally changed fate by explaining to Hotaro the rules of her dimension;
- I simply didn’t want to spoil the ending for myself.
Geryon also confirmed a long-known truth: sociopaths are masters at pretending to be normal people. And yes, all the cuteness with Atropos was for the sake of winning her loyalty. And so he enlisted the support of Fuuga only in order to create the Chimera himself. Well, unlike her creator father, Atropos keeps her word.
And about the most interesting thing. Rinne received a power-up that suits her much better than the igniter. And I really like that they decided to do without new Chemies. Yes, Rinne has seven more forms in the future, but it would be strange if she managed to make friends with the new Chemies while sitting in captivity with Atropos. But the Dark Ring from the Golden Octahedron of Atropos is a completely different matter. Yes, in its idea, Twilight Majade is very close to the recent LiveEvil, but, in my opinion, it looks better, and its debut was more emotional. Build also comes to mind with its Sento/Katsuragi dynamic.
Giving the hero an additional personality living inside him is a very questionable decision, but I think that neither the writers nor Rinne simply wanted to part with Atropos. But in general, turning into a mixed character, as in the case of Lachesis, is a more mentally healthy option. Although, it is clear that no one wants to say goodbye to their favorite hero for the sake of a new character with the same face.
Galejah lost, but Geryon and Gigistus shared her strength, so the main difficulties were yet to come. The next episode will be dedicated to the fight between Spanner and Gigist, whose clash has been prepared for quite a long time. And in the finale, it looks like there will be a battle between Houtarou and Geryon with the power of the Three-Eyed Demon. Unfortunately, this means the absence of a pleasant epilogue or its being crumpled. Still, two episodes would have been enough for Legend.
P.S. Clotho's role is rather unenviable in this episode. Her remark about Lachesis is easy enough to miss, so what should have been tragic becomes ridiculous. Still, it was worth giving her one more scene in order to avoid such an effect.
P.P.S. Just think, there are only two episodes left until the finale. How quickly time flew by!
