Episode 15: Wriggling Terror in the Darkness

Our proper introduction to Koichi, who is Ryukendo's' version of Leangle from Kamen Rider Blade.

And while he's meant to be the focus of the episode, I was way more attached to like, everything else in it. I don't immediately hate the guy or anything, but everything else was just way more interesting.

Because really, alot of this episode was more in line with something you'd typically see in GARO Crimson Moon than in your average Ryukendo episode: A zombie virus outbreak with the episode even imitating the standard aspects of those types of movies.

I get that it was meant to show off how much cooler and more effective Koichi was than SHOT, but really alot of his interactions make him look way more socially dumb than it does cool and mysterious. Lucky for him that Kaori has alot of patience. I also didn't see the logic in him saying SHOT fought ineffectively after Ryugunoh does the sickest maneuver we've seen all show.

In the end, it's fine. I just felt the focal point was misplaced.
