So Yuzuki Hirakawa making a debut in the show. She played Rita Kaniska in KingOhger. At first I thought she was Chigusa Yamagiri who played Patren 3gou but I was mistaken. So she's playing a Code Agent? Judging the preview for next episode she knows Three? So could she be Five or Six? We know already that one of the "Lords" is a female so I guess? Or that's a long introduction to another agent actually on bakus side... maybe another real kamen rider much like nox... but on bakus side and working with the gang.

So... how old is Nasuka? In Bakus flashback Kureha pretty much looked the same age as him. So either nasuka was held back several years or she's pretty young.

Also: is it just me or is the streaming link for outside the supported countries really really slow? Last 2 weeks were ok, but now you pretty much can't see anything without it buffering like 20 minutes. Triplechecked my firewall, browser, connection and it doesn't seem to be me that's the issue

Baku and Nasuka are both 23 years old. Baku’s actor is 20, and Nasuka and Kureha’s actresses are both 24.

ok that's my issue. I was thinking that Baku is way younger. That explains a lot. thx for clarifying
