Is Micchi worse than Kusaka yet? I mean, he's at least in the top 5 most manipulative riders already.At least Kaito is one, straightforward and not manipulative, and two, actually believes that he's doing the world a favor with the whole strong thing.

At least Kusaka is more direct with his approach. Micchi doesn't have the spine to let Kouta know that he betrayed him. Which is why Kaito has nothing but hatred for him. I'm surprised that he was able to show so much restraint being in the same room with Micchi.

Micchy is much more scheming than Kusaka was.
Kusaka admitted that he hated Takumi, and it was only because of Takumi's bad temper that he could get away with his lies.

Micchy is a coward, who acts like an indignant brat 90% of the time, and would gladly put the world in danger so he can live in his dream world, where he controls everything and rides on a pink pony with Mai.

Kusaka did not let his personal problems with Takumi get in the way during battle.
He only started to attack him when he started protecting the Orphenocs, and even then it was Takumi who attacked him first.

Plus, Micchy's manipulation really stings more in a show where Kouta manages to bring Takatora over to his way of thinking because they actually discussed things. And Mai didn't get pissed off at him when he admitted he killed Yuuya.

You get the idea half the problems in Faiz would be solved if everyone just sat down and talked about their differences.

And the sad part, it doesn't even make sense here as to why they don't. Why the hell does Takumi just roll with the accusation instead of making his case against Kusaka? Why doesn't he just say that Yuka saved him? WHY?!?! I thought that the stories about Faiz were exaggerated, but, no, they're worse than I thought. So far(I've only managed to get to episode 16/17.) everyone on the show is either an idiot, an asshole, both or Kiba, who seems to be the only guy with half a brain on the show that isn't a two-faced scumbag.

That was a good cliff hanger can't wait to see what happens next. Oh wait the Kikaider episode is the next episode. >_>

Kusaka had that obsession with Mari with her being that "motherly" figure he wanted. Add the biased hatred towards Orphenochs and that leaves no room for discussion. At least between him and Takun. The dude even played victim to Mari & Keitaro when it benefited the most and posed as Faiz to trick Kiba. If that isn't letting personal issues become conflict then I don't know what is.

I always used to think Takun kept shut because he had some sort of code of considering himself less if he ratted anyone out. But yeah he brought all that confusion on himself.

Because Kaito's not stupid and isn't going to give Micchy anything he could use against him, such as a reason to get Kouta on his butt for threatening his friend. He knows Kouta trusts Micchy more than him, so it's better to remain neutral in front of him and not end up in a two on one fight.

I find Kaito's and Micchy's relationship to be very interesting.
Micchy tries his best to be intimidating, but is also scared of Kaito. This goes all the way back to the first episodes when Kaito nearly killed him in combat.

Kaito of course knows this, so he can tease and troll all he wants. Micchy is not gonna do **** to him.

I do feel Micchy's reaching, if not already reached, the point where he no longer realises his own weakness in combat. Last episode we saw him complaining about being interrupted during his fight with Kouta, saying it "ruined" his victory - but by that point, he was already losing. He's so used to diverting blame for things not going the way he wants and shirking any responsibility whatsoever that it's bled into the way he views combat, and now he genuinely seems to think that the reason he loses is because of outside influences rather than the fact he's just a very poor fighter.

Recently he's seemed ready to go for Kaito too (for example that scene in 28 where Micchy was ready to henshin and fight but Kaito wasn't interested). There's no doubt Micchy would lose to Kaito, but I'm not totally sure Micchy is aware of that anymore.

So how do you reckon Micchy will be forgiven/redeemed, if at all?
