I wonder if Izu's Singularity will be endgame material.

Very strong episode as usual. Wazu is the kind of character I could see falling flat on his face for a number of reasons, but he was supremely endearing this whole time, and I won't soon forget his epic sacrifice to get Zero-One's new toy working.
Actually, for a second there, I thought that plot point was going to lead right into Assault Hopper or whatever it's called, so Aruto should be really grateful he got saved the trouble of waiting a few episodes. Speaking of characters who I'll miss, Ansatsu-chan was great. His importance sort of came out of nowhere, but he made for a delightful villain who ended up going in quite a few different directions in a short amount of time. Whether he was an endearingly ignorant servant, a potentially conflicted apprentice to a major film star, or just a downright cold, calculating machine, he was always a delight. If I had one thing to criticize, it'd be that I think it would've made more sense to have the cliffhanger for last episode be Dodo catching Shining Hopper's punch. Showing us that brief bit of the new form being awesome before leading right into the twist that Aruto is still screwed would've been a far, far more effective place to leave us in suspense than simply stopping after he transforms. Not that it's a big deal, but I think this two-parter would've just been that much better if they had done it that way. Quote:
Even if that wasn't the case, he's still definitely named after the number. I'm 1000% sure of it.

No, no, you had it right the first time. Thouser is rendered in katakana as sauzaa, which is about as close as Japanese writing can get to representing a proper "th" sound.
Even if that wasn't the case, he's still definitely named after the number. I'm 1000% sure of it. All this to say that the th sound does not exist in most Asian languages. An s or t sound depending on what other sounds are in the word, are generally the closest. |

I didn't think Wazu will be gone so soon, because the case with the police isn't over yet. And Ansatsu chan destroyed as well, even though he is the culprit. Now I wonder how Aruto will deal with the police.

I liked it, but personally I couldn't help thinking "I've seen this move in Naruto during the chuunin exam right ?" (uzumaki naruto rendan) which kinda toned down the greatness of it while i watch it ^^"
I didn't see Wazu sacrifice coming even though it should have been obvious. He was a "know everything" character type that would lead to a "why didn't you ask Wazu ?" type of problem in many cases if he was still around. I knew Izu wouldn't die from the data transfer obviously, but i thought something would happen with her red-eyes+long hair form somehow since no one was around to see it. |

Let's just take a moment to appreciate Izu's actress, she did an amazing job balancing the emotional weight of those scenes with Izu's mostly emotionless character. Related to that, does anyone else feel like Izu's emotionless-ness is gradually changing? Like in her expressions and voice, there's just a little bit more feeling showing than at the start of the series. I wonder if that will continue as she gets closer to Singularity.
Also it just hit me that Izu is the president's aide and Wazu was the president's aide. It's their names, get it? Shining Hopper's proper debut was awesome, I loved how they had it lose at first and need more to be complete, instead of just being the shiny new form that solved everything. Its design has grown on me a lot too, especially with how it's like energy surging through the base suit instead of armor added on top of it. And that combat simulation power? So cool. I wonder if that "it pushes your body beyond its limits" thing will get Aruto hurt later on... I mean, even worse than it already did. At the very least, it makes a good excuse for him to keep using other forms first and only go to Shining Hopper when the enemy proves tough enough to need it. |

The new graphite went out anti climatically. I was expecting him back himself up in number 5 as a twist to become KR dodo next week. Well, he won't turn good or meet his master again apparently not dead probably in a comatose state. I guess we need to make room for Xmas death and thouser new year debut.those tropes.i could see him returning in future since deaths isn't permanent With riders nowadays and especially Ai.
