Shinji thinks that he'll be able to use Kitaoka's stuff for the first time and is quite enthusiastic about the idea. He inserts the card and Magnugiga's shoulder cannons looks like it will be equipped onto Shinji, only for it to stick on Kitaoka instead. Of course Shinji is disappointed and tries again, only for Magnugiga's shield to land with Kitaoka again. Kitaoka explains that they are his cards and is essentially just using Shinji's Drag Visor to summon for him. When Shinji uses the advent card to summon Magnugiga, he shoves Kitaoka (who is already heavily armored) and uses Magnugiga to shield against the mirror monster. Kitaoka is surprised that Magnugiga can even be used as a shield. Then they both finish off the monster, with Kitaoka expressing his disbelief about Shinji's strategy and Shinji being content with his clever strategy.

• The dispute between Shinji and Kitaoka while they and Ren were transforming.
• Reiko has been kidnapped. Hilarity Ensues when Shinji, Ren, and Kitaoka decides to investigate:
  • First, they suspect a man for being the suspect. This leads to:
  • Pretty much everything that Shinji and Ren did to have a look at the house of the man. At first (when Shimada becomes the decoy), it was Shinji clinging on the fence. Later when Yui takes over the decoy role, Ren takes a look... by having to stand on Shinji's back. Then, both decides to cling on the fence... this time with kids watching them. Eventually, they decided to become wise and decides to take a look from a nearby staircase with binoculars.
  • Several ways of Yui looking for (presumed) kidnapped Reiko and Shimada includes checking the house's food cupboard, trash bin, and even oven.
  • Pretty much the entire part after Shimada gets kidnapped. The best part is when Kitaoka inadvertently punches Shinji in the head with his deck, which causes Shinji to stomp on Kitaoka's foot once they transformed.
  • When Shinji and Ren takes a look from the staircase, Kitaoka calls both of them telling that the man is not the suspect. He calls them while doing a handstand.
  • Afterwards, they suspect that a lady is the true suspect, so Shinji decides to investigate by pretending to be a salesman to get into her apartment. Once he enters... Kitaoka is already there with basically the same plan. Cue the doorbell ringing, and REN entering in exactly the same getup as Shinji. It gets even funnier when the two of them pretend to be selling random pieces they swiped from the café, and then smugly look at Kitaoka and ask what he's got... and he whips out his business card.

Episode 30: Zolda's Lover

He comments that it isn't much... which Kitaoka agrees with, and while griping he can't give it back to Shinji, since it's a gift, he instead asks Goro to just throw it in the bin once Shinji leaves (while still in front of Shinji). When Goro is holding the box, he actually takes one of the treats out and puts it in his pocket for later
• Kitaoka's former bodyguard Megumi is an absolute ditz, constantly misunderstanding everything and clumsily making life harder for everyone. The comedic potential is endless.
  • First off, there's her clumsiness being the cause of Shuichi firing her, like an instance wherein she accidentally throws a plate into the air and splatters spaghetti on his face. This later ends up saving her life from a Mirror Monster when she accidentally splashes hot ramen on it.
  • There’s the time when Kitaoka asked her for some tea, only for Megumi to give him the whole powder canister.
  • Megumi attempts to swat a fly, leading her to drive like crazy and crash the car. She uses a weight to smash it, cracking the windshield.

  • Then there's her date. When Kitaoka finds out she's dying from a terminal disease (Like him), he decides to date her. When he gets interrupted by a Mirror Monster, he does a hilarious transformation, posing with a silent henshin. And then, the clincher, Kitaoka went through all this bullshit to find out in the end that her disease was just a misunderstanding. When he finds out, he drops his cellphone in dumbfounded disbelief.
• Ren agreeing to force Kitaoka to date Megumi in hopes of the lawyer dropping out of the Rider Fight.
• The Chief telling Shinji, Reiko, Kitaoka, and Goro that Megumi's their new employee at ORE Journal. Coupled with Megumi echoing "Let's get along!" and the four's priceless reactions.
• In Megumi's story of Kitaoka’s marriage proposal, he gives her a fruit as a ring, complete with squishing sounds.
  Megumi: Oh! What a lovely ring!
  Kitaoka: Yes. And it's edible!
  • The story leaves Shinji wailing on the ground.
  • Apparently, Kitaoka gave a piece of food as a replacement ring for another one of his marriage proposals, this time an egg from a bowl of ramen.
  Megumi: Wow, it's lovely! It's shining like a diamond!
  Kitaoka: Yes, the biggest diamond in the world! And it's nutritious!
  Megumi: But Shuichi…
  Kitaoka: Yes?
  Megumi It's burning me!
• Shinji and Reiko visit Kitaoka's house. He tells them that Megumi is manipulating them, asking why they would trust her over him. Shinji tells Kitaoka it's because he can tell by looking at him. Kitaoka tells him to take a closer look, Shinji coming so close to his face it looks like they're going to kiss.
• Kitaoka's reaction to Shinji telling him Reiko hates him and is going to expose him is priceless, especially when a heart painting falls and hits him on the head.

Shinji even unconsciously agree with Ren's opinion at first (maybe because he think that Ren will side with him.) The very next moment where Kitaoka take a votes between him, Ren and Asakura is pure gold.
  • In the first vote, Kitaoka ask everyone in the room to raise hand if they think Shinji is a bad person. While Ren and Kitaoka raise their hands, Asakura did not raise his hand in which Shinji assume that Asakura think he is a nice person. with Asakura answering that he just didn't take interest in the vote. (Shinji still feel touched for it anyway).
  • Then in the 2nd vote, Kitaoka ask those who think Shinji is an idiot to raise their hands. like the first vote Kitaoka and Ren raised their hands immediately, at this moment Shinji think that Asakura will side with him again (or wouldn't take an interest) ... however this time Asakura actually raise his hand in agreement that Shinji is an idiot (with a parameter describing the full agreement). Shinji's moment of hope crumbling into devatation at this scene is priceless.
  • After this, while grumbling about how everyone think he is an idiot, Shinji met Sano on the street and while they're chatting, he ask Sano's opinion that did he think Shinji is a terrible person (and an idiot) or not. Sano only replying with that he think Shinji is a really kind person, ironically while Shinji is happy with Sano's answer... he didn't realize that Sano indirectly also confirmed he is an idiot by diverting the answer.
  Shinji: Hey...am I a terrible guy ?

Then, Sano gave Asakura a letter of introduction that Kitaoka wrote to Sano. What did the letter say? Fool, written in big, impossible-to-miss hiragana. Cue a massive Oh, Crap! for Sano once Asakura shows him the "letter", and he promptly ran away realizing that Asakura's probably going to kill him if he stays there.
