I was worried he would repeat the "befriend the collectable monsters" gimmick Houtaro did, but it's actually very different. He also said "I can use these too," and I wonder if that implies other Granutes can also create and use minions?

It's also interesting that the word Gochizo doesn't appear in the episode at all. Will Shoma come up with a name for it himself or is he not yet familiar with the term?
It is also quite interesting how Hanta will receive his chocolate Gochizo.
