Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 17: Howl -When the Morning Star Burns- ]

That was a rather exciting episode. Gio seems to have awakened some new kind of power that I can only refer to as “super dragon” at the moment. It seemed to happen when he was blasted by Garnet/Asim and in turn unleashed some terrifying power that frightened Asim’s pawns and killed both Garnet and Asim. As for Machina and Akira, I just feel like they were used to show what happens to a dragon when their master dies and that just seems empty to me. Still though, at least they were given a final farewell of sorts by showing them both encased in ice after the ED sequence.

Kou not being just a reporter caught me off guard. I don’t have a clue as to what organization he’s with but I suppose that’ll come later. The jackass aka Kazuki is still alive which I find high disappointing since three characters who were far better than him died in the these past two episodes. Don’t get me started on the retarded eyepatch on his forehead. Just seeing Widow causes me to face-palm over and over because she’s the only responsible for saving the douche. ~_~
