Agreeing with your predictions, I'm also guessing on Ren vs LJ!Kai before the season is over but that it's mostly my own wishes, I really want to see Ren try to rescue his best friend even if plot demands that only the main character can defeat him.

We all know he won't die lol, honestly I was surprised that Aichi lost once but it was 'fixed' so quickly that the shock value was lost. This season has some great ideas but doesn't use them effectively.

Hope Misaki cfs more next season.
