My thoughts on an episode by episode basis.

19.
Rio walking through the Gekirangers was just totally badass. I particularly enjoyed his little speech on the virtues of strength. It was awesome, and the power gap between him and the Gekirangers was evident. That fight was just awesome.
I also enjoyed that the Gekirangers, while getting somewhat confident, didn't get cocky. Their loss was humbling, but it wasn't so overblown that it was ridiculous.
Anyway, a couple other things to comment on in quick succession: I like the statue enemies. I've always been a sucker for beetle designs, and that's no different here. Miki keeps her pimp hand strong. And some Gou foreshadowing is always nice!

20.
Something that I particularly liked was that they kept the battle damage from the last battle.
Anyway, the Master Triangle was pretty awesome. They're kind of smug bastards, but considering the situation, they need a wake up call that Shafu's more laid back training won't cut it this time around.

21.
Super Geki Mode! Kageki! It's so cool. I will agree that they obtained it in a super cliche manner, but that doesn't change that it was still awesome. Seeing Rio get beaten so soundly hurts my soul, but that just comes with the territory of being the bad guy.
Anyway, I'm not a big fan of Geki Fire. Though he moves faster than most other mechs by virtue of being a fist fighter, I still don't like that he pretty much overtakes GekiTouja until later on (Which I won't spoil).

Overall, these aren't the same people who weren't taken down by a pissed off Mele. The extent of their training yields obvious growth.

Also, you have no idea how badly I want to watch episode 22
