			nice character episode for Taiga. Ren is such a loony villain xD 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	will Taiga really die? Even with all the death flags...I still wonder. Is the Ex-Aid toy catalogue done? I was hoping for the Bang Bang Tank to be Snipe's next power-up.  |

			Maybe a new rider will join the main cast and replace him as Snipe. It's been a while since a main rider get replace or a new rider join in very late in the show like Os and Kiva respectively. The last toy catalogue still haven't reveal everything and they can always add something in show and sell it later online as Premium Bandai exclusive. However, there's still No signs of Taiga suffering from using the proto gashat like Hiro. I'm eager to see what Graphite's going to do soon.

			Without getting too deep, I think it's hard to draw comparisons from Emu to past riders.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Trope wise, there's always a morality theme for the central character. While some like Takeru's 'human potential is infinite....was terrible because his potential was to be a potato for days on end, others like Kouta were better because This power exists to protect those who can't fight.....admirable, and actually pretty good especially since Kouta was so comically challenged. Or Haruto who really have a motivational other than to save Koyomi. Which he didnt. Emu on the other hand seems to be motivated to not just save his patients, but to save them to the point that they can feel as happy as he does to be alive. He's trying to be Florence Nightingale. Pretty appropriate for this episode too since apparently Nico is Taiga's morality pet. The episode setup was obvious. Both Taiga and Hiiro had their rough edges and by mid series that's usually enough time to turn it around. Overall though, this episode reached around on the Chris Matthews Creepy Meter to Level 99. And I don't care if there's not enough character motivation for Emu to care about Poppy. SHE'S POPPY. She's no one's puppet!

	Well, I wish the writer wrote poppy as a villain spying for her bugster allies at the CR, but turn good after spending time with Emu and Hiro rather than being brainwashed. I hope they talk about Graphite next after the poppy's mini storyline ends since he's connected to 2 of the 3 heroes. He have so much potential to be a good commander/executioner.

			Ren is just a joy to watch for some reason. Also I would an angelical upgrade for Taiga only so that when he fights someone can put the song Angel With A Shotgun over it.

			I agree, Ren is a delight.  He's arrogant, camp, and hilarious.
