Keita and Kuro fight against time to defeat Sawamura before Keita succumbs to fate.

Impressions:

This episode was pretty big. First the kind of random Mototsumitami they were fighting before dies, then Keita almost dies but defies the rules and lives, then kills the most powerful Moto we’ve seen so far in the series and brings Sawamura to his knees, THEN something they were supposed to have prevented seemingly kills millions of people, or at least renders them unconscious. All in all it was pretty damn big… I’m curious what, if anything, this new super syncro will mean. Yeah it was a pretty interesting and somewhat convenient way to get out of the whole you’re supposed to be dead if you see your sub, however now that they’ve established he’s not dead because of seeing him I’m interested to find out if the only thing that will happen is they effectively make Kuro and Keita stronger and better fighters or if there will still be some repercussions to their contract.

I was kind of wondering how the hell they are going to do anything now, since Sawamura’s basically been overthrown and him and the whole Kaionji operation ruined, but thankfully the show decide to just haphazardly kill 90 percent of the population to jump start things. That was pretty damn surprising…Now they could easily not actually be “dead” but it’s still a bit of a shock that something so big happened so randomly out of nothing. It definitely seems as though that will be the next big thing they have to deal with. This show doesn’t do the best job at faces in my opinion so I can’t actually tell if that is supposed to be Reishin or something who we saw in the Holy Land when it appeared, if not then they have a lot more explaining to do along with the Holy Land. Well, they’d still have to explain how Reishin isn’t dead, but at least there would be no new back-story.
