New Master for Rio, new lesson. Instead of Hawk's lessons about gaining power from hatred, Master Jellyfish teaches how to gain strength from jealousy. And unlike Hawk, she see's potential in Mele as well. It seems that the common method of teaching in Rin Jyuken is almost murdering your disciples.

Also the Masters all used to be human? So to completely master Geki/Rin Jyuken you turn you into an animal person? Hmm. Interesting. At least there's an explanation for 'em.

And man...Mele isn't anyone to fool around with when she's angry. She's almost strong enough to beat Shafu, though she almost killed herself with her technique. And we get hints that Rio might actually care for Mele as well with the way he stopped her suicidal assault on Shafu. Before he was just sorta too concentrated on getting training/meditating to interact with her much, but he never really seemed dismissve when she was pining over him either.

And a new Geki Jyuken Master, Sharkie Chan! He's the youngest of the one's revealed so far, I suppose. Probably my favorite out 'em all, though Elehan's pretty cool too. I like the weapons that go with his style too. Not too big a fan of Geki Shark Touja's design...Geki Shark itself is fine though.
It was pretty cool how Jan used the technique of unbreakable body to shake off hermit crab monster's possession.

It looks like things are ramping up though. Rio's finally recalled someone he couldn't defeat. A tiger, but not Jan. Huh..Wonder who that could be...
