I think the main thing that differentiates Rintaro's brooding from another secondary's is that Rintaro's feeling shame. He's not ducking Mei (and, tangentially, Touma) because he's pissed off or feuding with them; he's ducking them because he's started to realize they have a point, but he feels powerless to leave the SoL. He's still a very unique character!

I have a soft spot in my heart for Black and Black RX, so Reika bringing back Biorider's gimmick of turning into game-breaking invincible CGI goop is something I am 100% here for. Great action scene and it definitely sells the "okay, gloves are off" factor.

It's so good. One of my favorite touches for her fighting style is that she's using the insect motif to do more stabbing motions, like stings. Smart touch!
