...the episode being largely really really good, but let down by the ending.
It's a choice that cuts off potential for more interesting/nuanced story exploration in the world of Gavv, just to sell *once again* the point of the Stomachs' cruelty and evilness.
When she was looking at the list, I thought it was foreshadowing a Hanto & Kenji Vs Glotta, but I knew that it didn't make sense for Kenji to fight but damn lmao
Yeah, the episode gave me mixed emotions too. Like I get that redemption stories are common in Rider, and this was one more nuanced than the usual, but I guess having a sympathetic monster in a Komura show is something that doesn't really happen barring one or two notable exceptions.
