Hmm...

Considering the slight creative change the series has decided to take since the Blade arc, it's almost a shame Faiz's arc was finished in the first half of the show. We could have had things divided better. Heisei Phase 2 could have been represented in one way, while Heisei Phase 1 could be represented in a different way. Confusing sure, but since kids probably aren't as aware of Phase 1 after all this time, the additional focus could get them interested on what they missed since they probably saw everything from Double to Zi-O.

As for this episode specifically, it's interesting to see the powers of Agito remain in existence. However, the bigger plot point is Tsukuyomi. Is it really necessary to make her an amnesiac with forgotten super powers at this point? Well, I guess half-way through the show is better than near the end. It's just been done before... It would be cool if maybe her powers were related to the Lords/Unknown from Agito, but I doubt it. Her powers seem more like Time Jacker powers. Guess we'll found in the next episode!
