There's not any great information dump going on there.<br /><br />I don't think you learn he was the co-founder until episode 18 when there is an extended flashback to how the knights came to be.<br /><br />When he shows up in episode 5, which you've seen, it's not like he says, "Hey, I co-founded the Crimson Knights."<br /><br />In the episode in question he's just mentioned as someone the Silver Knight felt rivalry toward.<br /><br />So if you don't know he's the co-founder it's easy to miss him being talked about especially since not much is actually said.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-32333083798769596032013-10-20T08:37:40.485-04:002013-10-20T08:37:40.485-04:00This is the point where you switch from consistent...<i>This is the point where you switch from consistently spelling the name Maha to consistently spelling it Macha, thus rendering it only half-consistent.</i><br /><br />I've just checked using the subtitles and apparently Macha is correct, thus I've switched all uses to that.
