Whether you are here for the speed-gimmick, the meme-worthy protagonist, or the stunning beetle armor, this episode delivers. So, do as Tendou would do.

There is a famous scene in Episode 1 where a ZECT operative attempts to use the —a massive, horned beetle that serves as the transformation device. The Zecter rejects the soldier, flying away. Soldier: "It didn't choose me." Tendou, catching the Zecter effortlessly: "It was waiting for me."

From his first appearance, Tendou is in complete control. He runs a small but immaculate restaurant with his sister, Hiyori. When he isn't cooking the perfect Japanese curry, he is mastering martial arts. The episode establishes his "God-like" complex not through boasting, but through action.
