[Switchblade]

Okay, so while I don't love the Yummies themselves, I definitely appreciate OOO's version of the annual "episode 2 big budget CGI monster that we'll never do again." It's ugly and unsettling in ways that are much better than the giant T-Rex head we got in W. Made for a pretty good action sequence, too.

Getting the fully formed version of Ankh in this episode is one of the things that really starts kicking OOO into high gear for me. Ankh is one of the show's best characters and Miura does such an amazing job of bringing him to life. I'm not the world's biggest Eiji fan, but Ankh is still one of my favorite Kamen Rider characters of all time (another one of those all-timers is also from this show, but we're going to have to wait a bit).

This is the first time I've watched OOO since it originally aired back in 2010, which is some math I did not want to accidentally stumble into doing just now. I still remember the show pretty well, though, compared to what's going on in FishSandwich's Wizard thread right now. Somehow, I was still unprepared for how completely unhinged Cake Boss is. That is a performance that makes choices (good choices, to be clear - bonkers, but good).
