As Fish said, the actor did a good job feeling like just a normal guy who has to confront a monster to save someone, but I did find myself wishing that he had a more faltering fighting style after transforming too, to reflect that he doesn't have any actual combat experience in real life. Would have made for an interesting contrast.

Maybe it's just me but he did seem to be less smooth with the sword compared to last episode.
