This episode was fucking awesome.
Highlights:
- Owners are bloody weird. God, they crack me up like nothing else in Den-O can. Not even the Taros' antics have such a strong effect on me. :laugh:
- Naomi is a TANK. I LOL'ed at the amount of damage she could take.
- Deneb sucks at steering the ZeroLiner.
- ZeroLiner's DANGER! screen made me LOL. The trains actually have sensors to tell what's ahead.
- DenLiner's freaking messy. At the end, when Kohana and Naomi are packing, it's pretty obvious how fake those fruits are. They should at least use more realistic props.
... I'm just being picky.
- KingLiner EATS trains. Owner just forced Denliner into KingLiner. :buttrock:
- Kai opens himself for Imagin to travel to the past. Major WTF.
- Ryotaro can fight! At first, I thought he'd need another deus ex machina to win, but he managed to kick that Loweemon-imitate Imagin's ass by himself.
- Where's the command center for Liner Form?! :disappoin
And most importantly, I typed this while talking to my friend and watching the episode:
YUKI N.> Rowling just confirmed Dumbledore being gay for Grindelwald. I never knew she was into Yaoi. says (5:30 PM):
kingliner has ROCKETS
As for serious commentary, I liked the character development for Ryuutaros, and I pity him for all the **** this episode has made him go through. The little bit with him crying at the end of the episode was really saddening; he's just a little kid. Maybe that's the intent of the writers; they want us to pity Ryuu and hate Kai even more.
What's with those spikes? They remind me of the spikes from the Dragonball Z movie with Gogeta. I'm more curious as to their significance in time. Are those remains of destroyed timelines?
The Owners own. KingLiner's Owner was so bloody calm, he was like: "Ah, We've found the trains, let's go." I guess that's what happens when you have a BIGASS train with ROCKETS at your disposal.
After watching Kai flip through his notebook at the end, smile like an idiot and set his next dastardly plan into motion, all I can say is ...
... KAI IS LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :buttrock:
On a side note, Kai bears an uncanny resemblance to Adam from Power Rangers.
Next week's ep: From what the preview shows, we get a further peek into the mind of Yuuto. Before he became a Rider, we see that he was a nice, semi-autistic and probably not very popular boy in school. But he was still nice. Apparently Deneb revealing the truth to him and giving him the weight of responsibility as a Rider turned him into the cynical and bitter(I'm tempted to call him emo)person he is today.
