Yeah, I hope something happens to shake up the "job battle" formula soon. It is a neat way to introduce the Raiders and Gai's role as an antagonist, but this episode was very much a repeat of the previous two. I'm glad we still have Fuwa's investigation advancing the bigger plot, hopefully soon that will bring new developments to light and Aruto will realize he needs to change his approach if he wants to keep this from happening again.

On the positive side, I felt the suit actors for the monsters did a particularly good job this episode, they really sold the Whale Raider's arrogance and the Neohi Magia's panic.
