Just about the easiest choice in the world for me this time, as it absolutely couldn't be anything other than
Feel the same
.
A song that apparently exists specifically because the actors for Yuri (Yuu Takahashi) and Megumi (Nana Yanagisawa) wanted to perform a duet together, everything I could possibly say about it is pretty much summed up perfectly by that title alone. Unlike the vague longing and uncertainty that defines Wataru's relationship with his dad, the Asou family has a
very
specific connection that's been passed down through the years, and there's a confidence to that which the song reflects nicely. It's just kind of a base-level Kiva character song, but keep in mind how high the average for Kiva is when I say that. Definitely a treat for fans of Yuri and Megumi!
And I mean, s***, after watching this one,
a lot of people were probably fans of Yuri and Megumi?
Kiva's treatment of these characters has its ups and downs, but it did right by them at maybe the most important possible moment, resulting an episode with a level of fiery intensity that surpasses the very
sun
Megumi is standing in front of in Ixa's stock footage, as her mother declares in the past how her very
soul
will rise up to destroy Rook no matter how many times he comes back.
GAAAAH
this is a good one! I had really forgotten just how awesome it was before going back to it, and it's another occasion where I was straight up rewatching huge chunks of the episode because of how attention-grabbing it is. It's really got it all, and I especially love how Rook is defeated in the past with a
smart plan
, which is a plus in any superhero story, but even better here, because it's entirely
Yuri's
plan.

Nago has never in his life been anything less than absolutely certain, so for him to be like A Lot Of People Were Saying It, like, come
on
. He can't ever admit that he's wrong! Even when it shows his magnanimity!
NAGO!
No, it's definitely what he says! At a glance, it seems like Inoue can't remember his own show, but, as you point out,
this is pretty typical behavior for Nago?
Which is worrying on so many levels, but hey, like I said earlier, that's our Nago-san! He's just a big goofball when you get down to it, you know?
Well, I mean, he
used
to be a bit more serious, but especially with the benefit of knowing how the show progresses, I can see why Inoue resolved his rivalry with Kiva in such a surprisingly cleanly fashion. The story is maybe well past the point where Nago's whole Van Helsing shtick is useful to drive Wataru's growth, so redefining their relationship like this freshens things up and allows Nago to be more in the loop going forward, lest he end up like poor Shizuka.
