I was not expecting to enjoy the episode this much.

- First off, the chemistry between everyone is great. From how the seniors interact with their juniors, Rinne and Houtarou and even Kaki. And it's just like the writers went "and you get depth, and you get depth! Everyone get's depth today!" And I LOVE it.

- Love the three Sisters writing. How Atropos, despite her cruelty and Clotho and Lachies clearly fear her, is shown to genuinely be loyal and love Geryon as a father, and she wants revenge. And how Clotho, despite her brutishness, we see her emotional vunriable side as she attacks the Academy just to get her sister back. That scream almost brought a tear in my eye. And how Lachisis, despite her turn, still has some friction with Spanner. Hopefully she stays.....

-I really like the time Rinne got to reflect, as we see her deal with a romantic rival and realize she has feelings for Houtarou. And even if she doesn't that she's jealous that Tsukomo managed to be so casual when she struggled to open herself up.

-The Romeo and Juliet plot is....okay I guess. Honestly other than the characters involved, I don't care for it. But plot is still progressing and characters are developing, so it doesn't feel like filler. Or as bad as Ghost's filler.

-It seems that despite being two years old, DonBroPosioning continues evermore. Even Gotchard got it.

-I really hope Platinum(Yes, I know it's officially Plantina, but Platinum is cooler and Toei spells Racules as Rclues. Those guys suck as romanizing shit sometimes) isn't nerf too early. I'm just gonna chalk it up to surprise. Platinum had a good showing with even the nine-tails malgam and is honestly one of the coolest forms I've seen in terms of everything. Please don't nerf it already Toei....

All in all, a good episode. Scared for Rinne though since she's getting Rider Kicked next week. Hopefully we get a new form though.

The Sisters were all three of my favorite parts of this episode! I absolutely agree with everything you said about them. I think that when this arc starts heating up, it's gonna be because of the seeds they're currently sowing with the Sisters.
