I don't know what version of Makai no Hana you were watching, but it definitely wasn't the same one I watched.

Seconded. Crow would have to have a character first before being able to get any development.

Crow went from a loner character working like a phantom to a guy with friends that he cared so much for that he was willing to sacrifice his own body to the villain rather than let his friend get taken. Obviously I wanted a lot more from him but he did get development.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 21: Man I left off on the wrong part lol, I think that I need to find a better stopping point next time. Anyways I loved Himeya's willpower that pushed him to get back up and stop the Goregolem from breaking out of the Metafield. That even when he was low on energy he kept fighting, I love that a lot about him. Negoro needs a new plan of attack, because TLT stopped him cold but I love his determination and his quickness to get away from the Memory Police. I am intrigued with what's going on with TLT experimenting on Himeya and what this will lead too. I enjoyed Illustrator's and Himeya's talk that was interesting, and also interesting to look back into Himeya's past. Also I am intrigued about Mizorogi being back, I wonder if he is immortal, a copy, or died and came back, definitely has mysteries rising and can't wait for more.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 22: I am glad that Himeya lived through the experiments because if the Scientists killed him I would have been pissed because a hero like him doesn't deserve to die like that. I enjoyed Captain Wakura stood up to the higher ups rather than just Komon doing it for experimenting on Himeya. Negoro with the others was interesting to see how they get away with exposing data about the Space Beasts. That the Night Raiders got upgraded technology from the experiments is good that they got the power but bad they got it in the wrong way. I also worry about Himeya's life because it said to be continued as he grew one and it definitely sounds like this might be his last time as Nexus and that worries me because he's my favorite in this series.

I think even calling him a cipher suggests some semblance of a character (as sometimes that can refer to an author insert character). Crow is a void. No consistent character traits, no development or arc, no strong backstory, no nothing. There's nothing there.
Cool armor though.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 23: Well Mizorogi not being dead I like, I don't like his plans to pretty much take out Himeya though, Mizorogi is a nasty villain and doing very well so far. Liked the parallels and differences in this episode a lot; with Komon being saved when he was young by an alien and Nagi being attacked by an alien when she was young thus creating their different viewpoints is awesome. Also the Night Raiders and Negoro learning about the different portals at the same time was pretty interesting and leading to the land of the dead was intriguing as well. I am saddened by Himeya's defeat and looking like his death not sure in total but I quickly want to get to the next episode so I'm cutting this short.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 24: Himeya! I knew this was going to happen I just didn't realize it was going to happen like this with Himeya getting rejuvenated by the Night Raiders than having one of the most epic fights I've seen and then having an heroic death saving everyone and destroying Mizorogi (I hope) in the process. Was pretty much realizing Himeya was going to die when the whole episode had flashbacks to all his awesome moments and fights; it was a great send off for such a great hero and he died heroically rather than a chump so as much as I am sad I can enjoy it for what it was and how it is. The Night Raiders were kick ass with taking out the monster and helping take down Mizorogi, I guess the experimenting on Himeya was worth it because it helped save their lives and even Himeya's too before he sacrificed himself. It's going to be interesting moving on with this show, at least I love the Night Raiders so they'll keep me going and I hope the New Nexus is awesome too. UltraMan Nexus Episode 25: Well this was also a good send off to Himeya with explaining how they met Himeya to the higher ups. I loved Komon's answer to Himeya's journey that it was a terrible solitude always searching for answers. Also good to get clear answers about Nagi's past too. Intrigued with the Director and the Illustrator they both seem to know about UltraMan Next which I think I'm going to watch the movie before I continue the series since it's being brought up and I think it's the right time to watch it. UltraMan Nexus Junis Blue looks really awesome, I can't wait to see Punch Hopper become UltraMan! This show has also given me some hope that Himeya is still alive because all the characters have more than I do for him so I can definitely see that is might be. Well I can't wait for more. UltraMan The Next: Well they brought it up in the show so I decided to watch it. Excellent movie, Maki was an amazing character; that he achieved his dream and got to continue it with a family, and even gave it up to spend time with his family more. I love everything about him; fantastic character. The fight scenes were top notch very awesome even though there were like 2 of them they were definitely something else. I really enjoyed the last one a lot with Maki flying against him and that him and Next talking themselves back into the fight. He definitely felt connected to Nexus with his design. Really good character story going into a lot of the other characters back stories as well. Solid story with great characters, I am intrigued if anything more is referenced in Nexus so I'm glad I watched it.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 26: I enjoy Ren a lot, well him being played by Punch Hopper helps but that's besides the point lol. His character was a lot of fun and he wanted to bring joy to even the lost kids at the amusement park. He looks like he has a dark past or something that he said to UltraMan about picking him but I just really enjoyed his line of "Why Don't I Accept." to UltraMan and becoming the next Nexus. With including the Next in the 3 UltraMan of this timeline I like all the Deunamists so far. I was enjoying Ren so much I forgot the Night Raiders were apart of this show lol. Though I still enjoy them and it looks like we'll hopefully get a more even split this time, hell for all the time they took I don't mind Ren stealing the spotlight. I am intrigued with the rumors being spread about the Memory Police all this shit the TLT is doing can't go around unnoticed for this long anymore. The Illustrator definitely feels more connected to the UltraMan stuff than he's letting on if he was able to sense Ren enter the place. Overall I can't wait to see Ren kick some space beast ass. Also The new opening theme is awesome, I love it as much as the first one.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 27: Well I just have to say that they brought more focus to the Deunamist and UltraMan with Ren I absolutely love and well Ren is just so much fun and extremely interesting that this show has gotten even better. It sucks because I love Himeya a lot but Ren has so much more life in him but it might be their reasons for fighting and that Ren was more accepting of this power and Himeya thought of this power as a curse but I still enjoyed the beginning and Himeya a lot too. It reminds of the Battle Cossacks in Battle Fever J, I loved the first one but the second one made the show better. Ren and Komon together was a lot of fun I enjoyed their time together and how this has lead Komon to try and look more into him which leads into even intriguing storylines. How Ren knows about the Memory Police and knows The Illustrator is even more interesting especially appearing at the end there, I didn't know how deep his ties went. Mizuo seems interesting too and it's good they try to delve more into the Memory Police anyways they seemed like an important part but didn't utilize them much before. The fight was awesome, Ren is a much faster UltraMan and still heroic as ever I can't wait to see some more of his finishers; he is so badass. Can't wait for more I think I only have 10 episodes left but this has been a very fun series so far. UltraMan Nexus Episode 28: I am totally loving Ren even more with each episode, as we learn more that he wants to aspire to be like a hero he read about who would watch over children and if they were danger he'd protect and save them. I also like the intriguing back story that Komon and the Illustrator talked about that he is a Promethe Child and that he was a Scientific Experiment from TLT, this gets even more intriguing with what's going on with this Organization the Night Raiders work for. Ren's spirit to keep on fighting even when he was losing was great I just like so much about him and also with his acting and spirit I don't see how this guy only ended up a tertiary rider like Punch Hopper and not a main or secondary rider, he's really awesome. I liked that Komon and Nagi went to observe the monster fight and help out UltraMan when that was kind of against their orders because I feel it shows that they trust the new UltraMan like Himeya wanted them too. I feel bad for Mizuo because she is being forced to do something she seems uncomfortable with but I hope it works out for her in the end. This show is getting really interesting at the end here. I can't wait for more. UltraMan Nexus Episode 29 DC: Well this was great, I wasn't expecting a double length episode for a Director's Cut but it was what I had so I figured it was probably the better cut of the episode. Enjoyed Ren obviously lol, saving Komon from the monster was cool and I am intrigued with the machine he is using that is testing something keeps coming up negative. I liked that they brought back Riko because the little girl was a big part of Komon's storyline and that it was interesting she was with Mizorogi with both of their minds erased and he is the one who caused all her issues. I am intrigued with what will happen to Mizorogi, he was my favorite villain in this series so far so his story does intrigue me. I think Mizuo grew better trying to protect Riko from the monster and also trying to find her with Komon too. Also I liked that Riko believed that Komon was trying to protect her from earlier not trying to hurt her by attacking her parents. UltraMan Nexus Episode 30: Mizuo was kick ass this episode, I really enjoyed her a lot which is why she gets first mention today. They made her seem weak from her first appearance but when her, Ren, and Komon chase after the guy watching Ren and she corners him, she was kicking this guy's butt. I'm glad they train the Memory Police well I was worried she wasn't going to be that skilled but I'm glad they cured my worries. Ren and Komon's friendship is a lot of fun, I am really loving these episodes more now than earlier but the show has evolved now and it makes it really good. I love Ren he kicked ass and is just a whole lot of fun, it was good to get into his head about how it is to be without parents and learning about both parents and children, I like that's why his personality is like it is, it's very endearing honestly. I enjoyed them all hanging out under the stars and having a picnic it was very calming for the characters and myself too. Ishibori confronting Captain Wakura was interesting about the rumors, their is a lot of shady business going on in TLT so it'll be intriguing to see what happens. I also liked learning a little more about the Illustrator too, he seems to have the answers were looking for but also lots of questions too. I want to know what this Raphael thing is at the end and why it made Ren react the way he did. I can't wait for more this is getting really exciting and intriguing with each episode. UltraMan Nexus Episode 31: It was intriguing to learn about The Illustrator and Ren’s past together at the Academy, it seems like the Illustrator had a lot more to him and it’s great to learn about him. The focus staying on Yuu, Komon, Mizuo, and Ren I am really enjoying this structure because they are all interesting and strong characters. Without Mizorogi you kind of lose part of Nagi’s story there but he’s coming back soon, also she had a great scene you in front of UltraMan’s path to make him dodge it and the oncoming blast. I am intrigued why Ren doesn’t want to protect himself in battle, is it more about saving people or more about he doesn’t care if he lives or dies; I feel like he’s like OOO so I’ll put he puts others’ well being over his own and I like that about his character. I like that Mizuo and Komon are both not mentioning what they found out to the TLT because I don’t trust who they work for and I think it’ll be better off this way. I like Komon and Ren talking that’s just a lot of fun and they have great acting chemistry together. I can’t wait for more. UltraMan Nexus Episode 32: Mizorogi's finale was excellent, we finally learned that he was a puppet himself; I feel bad for the guy overall he was weak and just let himself get taken over by the power of darkness and was manipulated in manipulating innocent people, and someone he cared about all for some unknown jackass. I loved that he felt bad and wanted to see Riko again after messing with her family and it seems like he wanted to try and apologize. His last transformation into Dark Mephisto again was awesome, I loved that he fought his heart out and grabbed the new Dark Mephisto to hold him so Ren could eliminate him. Overall Mizorogi was one of my favorite characters and his final redeeming point here was brilliant, I think he's one of my all-time favorite villains honestly. Mizuo was a lot of fun here with helping Mizorogi and just being her weird self made it difficult for even Mizorogi even knowing what she was planning. Mizuo is turning into one of my favorite characters here, it's a shame like Ren she came in at the end of the series. Ren took a back seat this episode but it made sense since this was dealing with more of the first half of the show before him and got back to more with Nagi and Komon. I liked that Nagi needed to hate Mizorogi to go on because she needed something to give her strength and that hatred actually helped her become a strong and competent fighter but she's also not needing the hatred of him anymore. I enjoyed Komon getting angry at Mizorogi but I also liked his restraint as well because honestly after all the shit he put Komon through he could have killed him, so I'm glad that he decided against that. The ending with Ren, Nagi, and Komon's names on the list is very interesting. I can't wait for the next episode. UltraMan Nexus Episode 33: Well all the back story on the word is right here in this episode, and in hindsight I am so glad I watched the UltraMan the Next movie because that was clearly very important to the entire Nexus world right now with The Next's battle with the Beast being the whole first battle they had here. I really enjoy the use of it and how everything ties together. Also I like that TLT is actually a good organization to help fight against the beasts and that's their true purpose. I also enjoyed learning that Ren is dying and that Raphael mentioned earlier is the cure to help him, now things are making a lot more sense and becoming a lot more intense too. Ishibori actually got some decent character this episode and the last few with wanting to investigate into TLT's actions and being he computer hacker he is, also he showed some confidence in himself too so I'm glad that they actually gave him a character because he was kind of just in the background for the last few episodes. I also enjoyed learning more about the head of TLT too rather than being wary of him that he also has a tortured past too. I also enjoyed Ren admitting that he has feelings for Mizuo they are both awesome and I think they would be cute together. Now things are going to get interesting here with the Beast attacking a city and UltraMan being seen to the public; I am very excited to see what's next. I am hoping to marathon the final episodes later today. I can't wait for more. UltraMan Nexus Episode 34: I totally love UltraRider NexusHopper, lol, seriously now I really do love Ren and his spirit to keep fighting even though he was already weakened I really loved. I love the never giving up attitude in heroes even when the odds aren't in their favor. Captain Wakura stood out today as well talking his team into action when they were all upset about having their memories erased; really good leading there getting them focused on saving people then worrying about what was done on them. I am sure Mizuo was shocked to find out Ren was UltraMan, intrigued about that development. I am still loving the connection to the movie here with the Head of the NA Division being the same woman from the movie. The guy with her building Raphael I like, because now the audience knows there is hope for Ren and I hope they help him in time. Unknown Hand is being a jackass so far and I can't wait to see what happens when he shows up more. That poor place at the end when Himeya went to, damn that new Dark Mephisto or whoever that is. UltraMan Nexus Episode 35: Totally love the Night Raiders even more now that they revolted against TLT to get Ren back from their experimentation. They aren't thinking right with trying to find out UltraMan's power even if it kills Ren. I loved both Wakura's explanation of UltraMan's power and Nagi helping convince Ren to fight differently; fighting to live rather than fighting thinking it's okay to die and changing his attack style to dodge and block attacks rather than take them. He fought much better here and was definitely awesome when working with the Night Raiders against two monsters rather than One vs Two. I definitely feel that Ishibori is Unknown Hand he has been used a lot recently and just has this evil look on his face; also it would make sense about knocking out the guy who was spying on Ren because he has the weaponry to do that as a Night Raider. I hope Ren gets saved or I am going to be as emotional as losing Himeya too. 2 more episodes left and I can't wait for more. UltraMan Nexus Episode 36: I loved everyone's emotions here as they were worried about Ren. I also loved Ren and Mizuo's fight where he was trying to erase her memories of him so she wouldn't have to deal with the pain if anything bad happened to him or if he died. He has such a heroic heart just like Himeya they are both beautiful characters and I loved them a lot. Ren's final battle was kick ass and he fought back hard and his spirit never broke and hope brought him back to finish the Ultimate Space Beast. I love Ren a lot I hope we see him in the final episode again one more time. Well let's see how it goes with the Night Raiders and the ending. UltraMan Nexus Episode 37 (Final Episode): Well shit, if that wasn't one of the best Toku endings I have ever seen then I don't know what is. Okay totally called Ishibori being Unknown Hand but him being the guy who killed Nagi's mother and have been close to his enemies all under their noses because he had the ability to erase their memories and play them for 18 years is completely insane. That he played Riko and Mizorogi all just to inspire hatred in Nagi and try to inspire hatred in Komon so that he could manipulate Nagi when she received the Light. I knew that hatred wasn't a good thing and it did bite her in the ass when the Lethe got a hold of her causing her to become darkness and have her energy absorbed by Ishibori who transformed into the ultimate Dark UltraMan of this series Dark Zagi, the destroyer of the Visitors world. However this leads to the moment I've been waiting for and I completely blanked on this being a possibility because of how much I freaking loved Ren. Komon goes in and saves Nagi from the darkness and they are teleported to the battlefield where Dark Zagi is, but the Light got passed to Komon. Komon becomes UltraMan Nexus! The freaking moment from the beginning of the series I was freaking hoping for actually happened. All of this training to be a Night Raider, fighting against the darkness, and being friends and helping the previous UltraMen makes perfect sense for him to receive it and he kicked ass. I totally loved the scenes with Himeya and Ren both empowering him and having him be able to switch forms from Red and then Blue; then having the people empowering him to become this Ultimate Silver Giant and just kicked the crap out of Dark Zagi and knocked him right out of the freaking planet! Other great moments were that both Himeya and Ren lived and watch the Night Raiders fight against the Beasts around the world. I also loved that everyone regained their memories of UltraMan and the Beasts that was great too. This was such a freaking amazing series and a perfect ending that makes me want to watch the series again to see what I didn't catch the first time.
