Synopsis

Kaito Daimon would be a completely average high school student except for one thing: he's a "demon" at solving puzzles. Kaito is so brilliant, in fact, that when he's asked to take some 'special' tests of his unique ability, he immediately suspects that the test itself is a test. Kaito suddenly finds himself caught up in a lethal Philosopher's Puzzle made by the sinister group POG, a murderous maze of trap upon trap, where failing to solve the secret correctly will result in death! Fortunately, Kaito's skills prove up to the first test, both for himself and his childhood friend Nanoha, who is also caught up in the deadly scheme. But now that he has been designated as a Solver, he is pulled into a new life where he must travel the world with other Solvers, attempting to solve the latest deadly riddles left by POG. There's a new conundrum around every corner and each deception could lead to death, but once a riddle has been posed, you can count on Kaito to unfold, unravel and unlock it!

This has a comeback-for-revenge vibes. While a lot of bad things happen, it’s also wholesome as it shows the good side of a villain. It also picks up with the return of a character who once seemed good but became bad. Overall, it's about bad people who looks good and good people who looks bad. Now I'm talking like puzzle, lol.
This feels like one of those ordinary episodes you'd casually watch for pastime. It's not mind-blowing, not bad either, just right in the middle. There's also a possible shipping here, which I think they suit each other. Nice and enjoyable to watch.

This is an engaging episode for me. I tried solving the logic puzzle, but it was hard for me without jotting things down. There are surprising revelations here, although it's something you might've suspected all along. One thing I admire is how they strengthened the world-building by showing what makes a good or bad puzzles, as well as the roles between a giver and a solver. I think the series is getting better.
