I'll be honest, didn't really jive with this one. In fact, I didn't really care for most of it. Like the start to it was pretty good, but once the clone Jack Moon starts attacking that's when things just fall apart for me.

There's a casual tone to a lot of this series, and it kind of just clashes with everything in this episode. Especially when we get to my major gripe of Ryukendo as a whole which is well, we kind of just cut to things happening and people saying things without any real setup or explanation. We kind of just have scenes to have scenes at times and it feels clunky.

Like the entire time leading up to the plan I was like "Okay what is the plan? Why aren't we like getting any kind of hint towards it? They're just saying 'we're making a plan, follow the plan' without any real buildup towards it" and that took me out of most of SHOT's sequences this episode.

It's actually a really good plan! I just wish it was set up better?

And that's not going into the end of it where like, there was no tension whatsoever and any kind of drama just felt forced when there was nothing to really warrant it.

Like Kenji inserting the unfiltered key into the GekiRyuKen and being unable to handle its power works on paper. Execution just fell entirely flat for me because of the way they decided to handle it.
