Fun episode but man that secret between Shoma and Hanto is so nerve-wracking, it gets worse the longer it goes on, you just know this will hurt once it comes out, and it will be revealed at the worst possible time.

I really "dig" Lage9, like I feel we "unearthed" quite the "shiny silver jewel" here, just based on his character I assumed he wouldn't be in the show for long but given his ambitions (and that he received a full set of toys to be sold in stores) I think we have one in for the long run here.

And I think that rules, making the new Rider someone evil but with their own goals in mind, because first of all that takes guts to do (“Hey the characters we want to sell toys for children just kidnapped three dozen people to be processed into food”) and second it' a perfect fit for this show.

The Vram suit is ugly AF by the way and I absolutely love it. I like how similar the undersuit is to Gavv and I adore how he has spoons for antennas. That's so weird but awesome.

I didn't even expect any action this week but Vram delivered, quickly and effortlessly beating both of our Riders. I quite like his style, how they incorporate his Granute abilities, and: Bonus points for snipping a flying piece of debris to block one of Valen's chocolate bullets, that was cool as hell!
