It might just be the new show hype keeping up, but I feel like I'm really getting into this show. I'm warming up to Mach faster than I thought I would. I echo everyone's sentiments on the bad Slowdown acting though, that was terrible.
Maybe it's just me being mushy, but I enjoyed the whole teasing Shinnousuke and Kiriko thing. The deal scene was also really cool for what it was. It'd have been nice to see a full battle there, but I guess you have to advertise the toys somehow. I just hope that the ridiculous amounts of Signal Koukan-ing this week means we can get it out of the way faster, because I am enjoying how fluid Mach's fighting is when he's not futzing with bikes.

I believe the word is borrowed from German rather than English, so the pronunciation ends up being closer to mahha than makku.

I'm glad Gou being an arrogant asshole for literally no reason didn't last long. Too bad his annoying side is apparently here to side, and we really really didn't need another person with a crazy tick..

I'm really interested in this whole contemporary of Steinbelt's in America, but doubt he'll ever matter again...

But overall, not horrible. At least still seemingly progressing Chaser's story, since he's now the most interesting character the show has.

So after watching this ep, alas I knew the Gun guy wouldn't last despite being a badass design...I liked the idea of the brothers dealing the slo mo bands out, just a shame the couldn't stretch that out to true story arc. I feel there could have been potential, especially in hearing how the other roids are doing in other parts of the world.
I'm sticking to my theory Gou has SOMETHING happening to him. He seems to have a motivation of a pressing deadline. I think using Mach before it was complete is taking a more serious toll on him.
LOVE Medic by the way.
As for Chase...ok, he's Hakaider becoming Kikaider? lol

Agreed. Chase seems more interesting to me than Shinnosuke ATM tbh.

Gou has gotten better since last episode, but that's not saying much. He's at least slightly bearable though, and I'm glad that he (at least) seems to be willing to work with the group now, rather than "Screw you guys! I don't need your help!"

Oh, and next episode, we find out Chase's backstory... The bookies are giving a 3:2 odds on him being Proto-Drive .

Another great episode. I have to say though, Gou probably came back to Japan because has some sort of fatal disease or something and he wants to make sure his sister is in good hands when he dies.
