Can't wait for next week! the tension is killing me!!!
On another note, I enjoyed these episodes. Finally that Peacock bastard is dead! Also, I love how Tachibana was able to be strong without that seaweed at the end.

While I'm glad that Tachibana finally grew a pair on his own, it's a shame what happened for him to reach that point.
Oh well, Hajime returns, much to Kotaro's annoyance and mental breakdown

This was a great 1st quarter of the show so far. Especially with Tachibana overcoming his struggles and Haijime accepting Kenzaki a little more. Although, if it takes one loved one to die to beat a Jack like Not-Neo over there, what's gonna happen when the others show up? Can't wait for Leangle next episode.

Yeah, Leangle's coming up, but you first-time viewers are in for an even bigger treat.

Mika Hijii is coming up soon, too.

And thus brings an end to the first story arc of the series and what a great finale it was. It is too bad Sayako had to die, as she could have been a great character, but at the same time, her death is what helps motivate Garren's actions throughout the rest of the series, so it was well worth it. Although, I'm not exactly sure how wind power managed to kill her but whatever.

I also love the animations they are doing now for the three card combos, especially when it first appeared during Blade's battle with the Lion Undead.

Then there is just Mutsuki's obliviousness to what is going on around him. He is kidnapped, gets bashed around from the rider belt, wakes up in some tunnel with a whole bunch of other dudes, but what does he care most about? Being late for a date. WTF?!

Outside of that, there really isn't a whole lot to say about these three episodes as despite their hour long time frame, so much happened, and yet, so little happened. I mean, Sayako died, the Leangle belt was created, and Garren defeated Isaka. That is pretty much the main take away here.

Of course, there is Hajime's return to Amane and Haruka, Kotaro's disdain for Hajime, and the Dragonfly Undead, but that is a story for next week. :-p Overall, another batch of excellent episodes and the plot grows thicker as we move into the next story arc., the birth of Leangle.

The peacock is dead, and the death of Tachibana's girlfriend has apparently cured him of his fear. Depressing.

My current list of things in Toku that confuse me: Science and Power Rangers, Religion and Super Sentai, and so far in my exploration of Kamen Rider through Blade, Law Enforcement and Kamen Rider.

And am I the only one that doesn't absolutely hate Amane? Or Child Analogue Characters?

I don't necessarily but that child is rude and her mother needs to control that kid. Telling off Mutuski for no fucking good reason pretty much made me hate Amane for the rest of the episode.

I don't hate Amane. For a child character, she is no where near as annoying as she could be, but she is just a spoiled little bitch who needs to be spanked.

[algo448]

Amane is indeed, rude, spoiled and can be quite annoying, but I don't hate her, because all of those negative traits are intentional, her behavior is never applauded and we are supposed to disagree with her in various occasions.

Just like Hajime shows his best side when he's with Amane, the opposite is true. Both of them are flawed people but they are willing and trying to improve, and that's the thing with Amane, her realtionships with the other characters aren't really explored much so her behavior towards Kotaro, Mutsuki and her mother comes across as worse than it should be.
We can assume though that her rejection of them comes from the loss of her father, but it's not exactly clear.


There's also the fact that she phisically resembles my nieces, so while at points I want her to get lost, at others I just want to hug her an tell her she's cute...
