Episode 22: The Neighborhood Martial Arts Tournament

I have come to the conclusion that Ryukendo is at its best when it's being a shitpost.

Because really, this and episode 3 have been some of the biggest highlights in the show so far, and for very similar reasons.

The baseline plot, that the townsfolk put together a tournament to see who will lead their new vigilante group against the Jamanga seems simple enough, but there's alot of stuff going on here that makes the episode absolutely wild.

And just like episode 3, I dare not spoil everything here. All I'll say is that Umi returns, Rock Crimson Returns, and playing up Koichi's' quirks for laughs works way better than trying to play them for drama. This episode was a wonderful time, even if its conclusion probably isn't going to stick.
