is sexy. Loik, holy crap. *_* At first I was afraid IXA’s new toy would end up completely taking over the episode, but that so didn’t happen. :DDDD Ep (unlike 15~cough~) was quite interesting. And sexy. And full of shiny.
And yay Megumi is back! :D Nago is back, too, which is not so yay. But Castle Dran came into action, which was yay.
I think, to some people, Yuri gives off the impression that she’s pretty weak, because she fell so easily to Rook, but it’s really because Yuri must necessarily be unconscious (because she can’t see Jiro’s Wolfen form, not yet), and also because she has no armored form. Which doesn’t answer the question of why she was written into the fight to begin with, but I suppose that’s beside the point.
ep 17:
Dude. Jiro just called Otoya by name. Does this mean those two eventually get along? Or was the promise made under…certain…circumstances? fufufufufufufufu
When Jiro and Otoya faced off, they adjourned to a pool table instead of duking it out with their fists. ~amused~ That’s the thing with the dynamics of these two. Unlike Nago-Kiva, it isn’t hatehatehatemustdestroy. Jiro-Otoya is much more…laid-back, for lack of better word. I think they might eventually learn to get along. They already seem to be a bit more tolerable of each other’s presence.
Having Mami demand Megumi’s attention in order to prevent her from seeing Kiva was such a cheap tactic by the writers. pffffffff
In this ep, the 80s characters never mention the escaped Rook, but I think they end up fighting Rook for a while after. Because even if Dai-chan explained that he went into a deep sleep, that doesn’t mean he did it after defeating (but not killing) Jiro and Otoya, right? Because he said to Wataru, “so you are the inheritor of Kiva”. That means he must’ve been present when Kiva was “born,” right? ._.
