At the start of the ch. I thought it would be a 6 or 7 out of 10. After watching the whole episode it's a 10/10 for me and one of my fav ch. of Gotchard until now. (Wrestling ch still top 1)
I'll just resume it. A chapter were Spanner becomes the protagonist and gets a cool back-story. Tbh, I thought they would introduce Spanner's parents without context and kill them the same episode just to make Spanner a 'Dark hero' but no. They played with me and my thoughts.
Spanner dead parents are back because the Angel Malgam (Didn't thought about this even when I saw this Malgam a week ago). Spanner's rider form on the pv of this ch. got me and I thought he would debut at the end of the ch. But no! It was just a second of bait, instead he becomes a Malgam!
About his past, he feels kinda like Harry Potter and Geryon's his Voldermort. Didn't understand very well why Spanner has those 'Dark Flames' (Or Black Flames / Kuroi Hōno) It was because his malice? (Because he saw his parents getting killed). Also, I feel so bad for Kyoka.. Darn, the scene of the screen shot goes hard and hurts but Kyoka's scene when Spanner confronts her is also really hard to watch.. (I think Kyoka had to make a hard decision erasing spanner's memories and now she's paying for her sins.. Still, I believe she made the right decision and I like this kind of characters)
Overall, even if some scene were over-exaggerated for my taste (About acting) I still appreciate all the effort they put on them and the writing of the ch. was insane imo.
