Shouma/KR Gavv thinks that Hanto/KR Valen is also a modified Granute, and, on the other hand, Hanto thinks that Shouma is also a modified human. But strangely, although Shouma thinks that Hanto is also a modified Granute, why does he think @ 01:14 that KR Valen being a modified Granute yet not having a Gavv is a normal thing? How can a Granute, whether modified or normal, produce agents/Gochizous without a Gavv? Although all Granutes of the week and the Stomach siblings are also modified Granutes who had their Gavvs modified to allow them to assume their human forms, all of them still have their Gavvs intact. Also, how can a Granute, whether modified or normal, assume their human forms without a Gavv? The fact that Hanto/KR Valen doesn't have a Gavv to assume his human form should tell Shouma that since KR Valen doesn't need to use a Gavv to assume his human form, then it means that KR Valen is not a Granute in the first place, but a human. Why isn't Shouma more curious about those things? Or is there another way for Granutes to produce agents/Gochizous and assume their human forms without using their Gavvs? Don't know! Hanto/KR Valen not having a Gavv should raise suspicion from Shouma. At the very least he should consider the possibility that Hanto/KR Valen is a new, experimental type of modified Granute who is able to create Gochizous and assume his human form without requiring a Gavv. TLDR: All Granutes need their Gavvs to be able to assume their human forms, so the fact that Hanto/KR Valen doesn't have a Gavv means that he doesn't need a human form, which can only mean that he's a human, not a Granute. Very weird reasoning by Shouma.

Nyelv says @ 03:34 that he's testing a new feature on the Granute of the week. Yep, like I've hypothesized since episode 4 here, here, and here, he's very likely testing some kind of experimental upgrades for the Granutes' Gavvs. What's that new feature? Like in my hypotheses above, his experiment will likely result in the creation of a Granute-only transformation device. What will be the name? Pac/Paku Driver? I'm interested to see who will be the user of the Granute Driver, if my hypothesis is correct.

Shita and Jeebh are collecting Hito Presses at their new collection center, and they're visited by Glotta who scolds them for the decrease in the amount of Hito Presses they're supplying to the factory.

Like I hypothesized last week here, Hanto is visiting Kenzou's lab to have his body checked after the transplantation surgery in episode 6. Kenzou says that there's no problem so far. Is he telling the truth or is he lying? No way an organ, let alone an alien organ of extra-terrestrial nature can be transplanted into a human body without the risk of fatal complication. Even organ transplantation from a human donor to a human recipient requires a very very very thorough compatibility check. I have a hypothesis that the side effects of the Granute organ transplantation will eventually show up later, probably between episodes 25-35 to grant the final form for KR Valen. The side effects of the organ transplantation will likely mutate his human DNA into a Granute DNA, like what happened in District 9 (2009) when the human protagonist is slowly mutating into an alien creature after accidentally getting sprayed with fuel for alien ships, which actually contains alien DNA. Hanto asks Kenzou whether there's another Granute researchers besides him, and Kenzou only says that there likely is, although he has never met him, and Kenzou's answer makes Hanto become curious about it.

Shouma's new gadget is actually created by Dente. It's a smartphone-like device that has a very convenient feature that allows Shouma to see the recorded memories of the Gochizous. Dente and Shouma are wondering who created the transformation system for KR Valen.

One of the Gochizous that Shouma commanded to patrol the city and investigate any signs of Stomach's activities last week finds the true identity of the Granute of the week who is posing as a fake art dealer. So, if Shouma can get accurate info about the true identity of an undercover Granute from a Gochizou, then he and Hanto should be able to use their Gochizous to spy on each other and uncover each other's identities. Shouma is the most advantaged here since he's the only producer of the Gochizous, so he should be able to uncover Hanto's secret identity as KR Valen easily.

Glotta visits the Granute of the week's fake art gallery, and she encounters Hanto there. Why is she visiting the gallery in the first place? Is it to evaluate the Granute of the week's performance, since she was told earlier by Shita and Jeebh that the decrease in the amount of Hito Presses they're supplying to the factory is caused by the declining performances of the Granutes of the week? Hanto finds out that Granutes have human forms, and he concludes that that's the reason why there has been very few sightings of Granutes. Hanto/KR Valen is fighting Glotta in her human form. This could be the earliest instance of a protagonist Rider fighting one of the enemy generals. Perhaps Lango, Glotta, and the other Stomach siblings aren't too important as they seem, or is it only because this story is going way too fast? Well, at least the story in this episode is slowing down a bit, fortunately.

Next week:

The continuation of the duel between Hanto/KR Valen vs Glotta in her human form. It seems like Glotta in her human form is still stronger than KR Valen.

The duet of KR Gavv Chocodan form and KR Valen Chocodon form. Based on the preview, it seems like the Granute of the week is not completely destroyed by KR Gavv's finisher in episode 7. The new feature that Nyelv adds to the Granute of the week's Gavv in episode 7 is likely the ability to withstand KR Gavv's/KR Valen's single finisher, and that's why they need to combine their finishers in episode 8 to completely destroy the Granute of the week.

Kenzou points to his belly while saying that the mouth on the belly can't be hidden. It looks like a red herring.

Sachika looks pissed off. This could be her first time encountering a Granute. What's the context that she can be at the same warehouse with KR Gavv and KR Valen? Does she find one of Shouma's spy Gochizous and decides to follow it to the warehouse? Or maybe the depressed painter guy is the Granute of the week's new target after he fails to kidnap the sculptor girl in episode 7.
