Hibike! Howl of the Beast! Beast On! *ding*

So we have GekiViolet's introduction and some spotlight focus on him. The justification for him to have a different changer was a nice touch, since his Shigeki renders him unable to use the Gekichanger. I rather enjoyed his debut fight was against Mele and some Rinshi, since the new members almost always jump in to take care of the threat prior to their introduction. Gou gets some major badass points by being able to make GekiTouja on his own(red+blue=purple, clever Toei). And more points for Gon Gon Ken being on par with the Geki Bazooka when he is on his own. Jan getting worked up on how to add him to the line up was rather amusing, but also rather impressive the he knew that Gou would have some concerns about being a 3rd wheel.

For people who are not Gou, it was rather anti-climatic for Rio to get Dorinki angsting about getting left behind on the power curb, but it was an eventuality to happen I guess. Natsume got some cool points for standing her ground against werewolf Gou, but she's probably used to strange things happenings by now. We see that there are a lot more Butoka and Wagataku that the two we previously saw. And we get backstory on Bae. I wonder if that was just random stunt actor with a voice over or actually Akira Ishida doing the stunt work for the flashback scene. Having him root on Gou as he fought against Long's Ki was great and touching. Also touching is that Mele cares about Bae, even if her tsundere ways won't allow her to really admit that.

"Knock out!"
