Strange... Didn't yggdrasil give them their upgraded belts? The ones with the silver straps on. Wouldn't that mean they would have their old belts or something? o.o

Can we take a moment to say how amazing Baron's final form is? It's such an awesome costume, probably one of the best rider or boss foe designs ever IMHO.

I keep thinking of Kaito's motivation as being the Yosuga Reason from Shin Megami Tensei III (Nocturne), a game which begins with the world being destroyed by the will of God and the survivors left to battle to determine the organizing principal, or Reason, of the new world. Let me quote a little from the MegaTen Wiki:
"It is a Reason based on elitism and survival of the fittest. Those who are useless and weak do not deserve to live and would be purged from society. Only those who are strong may rule, and power is acknowledged as the only thing of value. The weak will forever serve the strong. While Chiaki created this Reason in order to be safe from ever becoming weak or lower class, it is a Reason of paranoia and fear, in which she would always have to look over her shoulder and fear being overthrown. It is a chaotic reason that can be seen as related to the philosophy of Social Darwinism."
The flaw in it of course is there's always someone bigger than you so if you bully your way to the top, you'll always have to watch for that and betrayal. Unfortunately, that probably means Zack won't be able to surprise Kaito when he makes his move.

Now, if only Zack manages to kill Kaito in the next ep a la Mitsuhide in Honnouji, that would be amusing.

but Ranmaru was a gay. Zack was like his best friend who tried to fix his mistake by took the risk, If Youko was counterpart for Ranmaru I would agree more, since she seek for a king and wanted to stay on King (DaiMaoh) sides just like Kaito has become now. On Japanese historical for Nobunaga, Ranmaru never betrayed the War Lord, I can feel that Youko the same way and just that she's a women opposite to Ranmaru.

But Youko is clearly Noh-hime, if she existed or not :V Originally set about to kill our demon king of destruction but then becoming charmed by him, his ambition, and his power.

I keep thinking that Kaito's path is basically the Chaos route from a Shin Megami Tensei game. Kouta seems to be more Neutral than Law though (I think Yggdrasil represented Law, but they were taken out of the picture).

This episode was good, but mostly just sets things up. Kaito has certainly gone off the deep end though. I look forward to the rest of the series.
