Holy cow. Excellent episode.

However I think they shouldn't have pushed the episode about how Chidori gets her assassion. ANd just leave it as a mystery until later. So we'll all be freaking out, pissing outselves whether they've really killed her off.
That is true in a way, but since we know that Chidori survived the assassination attempt, it just adds to Gauron's character of twisting Sousuke's mind. From what I see, there were two options:

1. Assassination attempt on Chidori shown AFTER this episode
We become really freaked if Chidori actually did get killed. We knew that she was followed by one of the twins, so it was quite a possibility, especially with Gauron seeming to be serious.

2. Assassination attempt on Chidori shown BEFORE this episode
It just simply emphasizes how crazy Gauron can be, just to be killed by Sousuke.

As with Stoopider, I would have liked choice #1. It would've added so much more mystery and drama to whether or not Chidori died.
