[Switchblade]

The problem I'm having with this show right now is that I'm so into it I keep watching, meaning that I'm finding it harder and harder to remember which older episodes we're talking about.

But yeah, the Five Venoms. Honestly, I think the first two were pretty forgettable (aside from the centipede dude's awesome design). The other three were a lot better developed, but we aren't there yet. Aside from these guys, what I remember most about these episodes is the introduction of Retsu's brother. He knew Rio, he's apparently dead, and Retsu described him as the "lone wolf" of Juken? I think that last one is a pretty dead giveaway of where this storyline is going (hopefully without no further appearances from the French dude).

Also, Mele is still hot.
