Talk:H Episode 14: Yamigedo! The Fiend that Devours All!/@comment-1755882-20150711040453

Amazing episode. Well done guys.

On the whole Gao losing thing: I've never cared either way, whether Gao wins or loses. However, what I did care about is the execution. The problem with Gao's winstreak is that many of his wins he really did not NEED to win. Like, would it have been so wrong during, say, the Gaen Cup for Gao to go Round 1 or 2, lose, and then have Tetsuya and Zanya pick up the slack? Or after Kiri goes evil, have Gao lose to establish him as a threat? Those are only a few examples. Gao's constant winstreak seemed nothing short of arbitrary, and was not executed well.

However, this episode, and Gao's loss, were executed very well. Ikazuchi is a great villain with an interesting backstory, and the exponentially increasing amount of lore present in the show is greatly appreciated. Hopefully this level of quality keeps up.
