It's the slow-motion sequence where he's getting beaten up (again) by the Street Youths. The voiceover is him wondering if he's about to
killed
, and being sorry for how that might make Airi feel.

This is not a happy protagonist! He's got some stuff to solve!

I'm very much looking forward to getting into why as we go along. While I
actually
won't be watching and writing along this time, as you can see from the quote above, I thankfully have a whole bank of pre-written Den-O thoughts to pull from back when I did the same Kobayashi-thon rewatch I occasionally referenced during your thread for Ryuki. So that'll be nice for me!
I'm not sure I'd call Amazons "pretty much an objectively perfect Rider show", although it's not without its brutal charms in the early going. Jin's an all-time great, for sure.
I know, I know, you mean OOO. I've definitely referred to OOO as one of the best seasons for how it's not the best anything, but never bad at anything. Ryuki had some ups and downs for me, so I'm excited to see what Older And Wiser Kobayashi wants to talk about, and how she plans to do that. I'm already very into something here that she revisited in OOO, where the monsters/villains/threats all seem to be drawn from people. The teaser for Episode 2 seems to indicate some OOO-style Therapy Via Monster Detonation, and that's a Phase 2 Heisei thing I'm thrilled to get back to. The whole thing with random monsters wandering into an episode, and then the difficulty of linking the monster to the story thematically... very keen to get a more emotionally-connected threat in these shows.

It's a great accompaniment to Ryotaro's haplessness and the rapidly shifting environments. It's very
liberating
, which I like.
