![]() ![]() And there's my obligatory Persona reference complete ![]() I've already compared Sakura to Makoto Niijima anyway, so it all tracks. One of Sakura's friends being a foreign-looking girl reminds me of Ann Takamaki. Either that, or he just cares for the guy. George choosing to give up the Giff Vistamp and letting Hiromi live shows how Genre Savvy he is - he knows the villains winning Phase One is inevitable, and it's not worth sacrificing a Rider's life to stop that. That bit with the Impostor Wakabayashi/Chameleon, and Hiromi just breaking down was wow. Kudo in particular looks like Ikki's biggest rival, especially since he managed to push our hero's biggest button. but it seems they're now part of our villainous group. NGL I was expecting Planarian guy and Kudo not to survive becoming Giftexes. Thematically, it's a reflection on how cults can indocrinate people to believe in something that's ultimately against their own personal interest - grooming her from childhood to believe she'll be Giff's bride, when in reality she's set up to be another sacrifice. I love what they're doing with Aguilera's arc. I like how Planarian guy was first mistaken to be a suitor for Sakura. It's amusing how Ikki's biggest beef with Kudo is the fact that he forgot to take off his shoes before entering the bath. Revice's best episode and that's saying a lot.
