Honestly, I actually like Beelzebub's plan.
It's quite different from "Smash object," probably the most interesting premise for an episode yet.

That was perfectly fine. Wizard is just boring me to death.

It's the same thing every time. Gate gets attacked, Haruto saves Gate, Gate doesn't cooperate in some way forcing a misunderstanding related to hope or despair, monster gimmick revealed at end of part 1. Part 2 will be a mess of new power ups to spam because that's the only way to beat the monster's gimmick. The rest of part 2 is the Gate pointlessly whining about life to explain the lame misunderstanding of part 1. It's to predictable and gets boring after awhile.

While many Rider shows use this kind of story temptlate, most of the other shows make up for it with interesting or entertaining characters. Wizard sadly just doesn't have either at the moment. The status quo hasn't changed even with Beast around.

I liked this episode. It felt different, in a good way. I like how there's a subplot too.

Watched the Sub--we're getting some character development . . .sure it was for Phoenix, but it's still cool to see. His unwillingness to tolerate Wiseman sidelining him and getting to be even more of a loose cannon should make things interesting in episodes to come.

. . .and man, did that look like the least pleasant lunch date in the history of everything.

Beelzebub's a good deal stronger than most of the Phantoms have been before now if he can hypnotize a bunch of folks and do that weird "warping" thing to bend attacks around him. None of that explains why he has those fly-eye man-boobs, but probably best not to ponder that too much.

Holy shit, Rinko's actually doing her job.

That blew my mind too.

Good episode this week. The Phoenix subplot is really interesting, it looks like next week he may get some significant development. And Beelzebubs plan is really nice, much better than the typical attack you until your breaking point that most of the Phantoms have had up to this point.

Liked this episode a lot. Some really interesting character stuff with the main supporting cast.

Phoenix may just be one of the most developed KR villains in recent history. But in his (now former) human as a florist that was a kind and decent human being I have to wonder if it does come down to it all Gates may have to have their magic abilities destroyed since they house evil beings inside that grant them said powers.

Other that Caitsith we only seen pure evil Phantoms that only wish to get more of their own kind for Wiseman so he can do what he did in the first episode again. Is Wizard willing to take away all the magic of so many people just to save the world? Will he be willing to go into Knight Templar mode to keep hope alive?

Also Rinko is doing her job. Nice to see her not hovering over Wizard like most of his supporting cast.
