Jetman 13 and 14, what a pair of episodes...

So, Raita reveals to Ako his crush on Kaori, making this a love diamond, however, it's nowhere near as prevalent as the classic love triangle between Ryu, Gai, and Kaori. I must say, while it's nothing new or original (X likes Y, Z likes X, and Y doesn't know what to do), I do enjoy that Kaori isn't pulling a Bella. She's not goading on Gai as if she's romantically interested in him, making his affections more one sided. She's not making the relationship more complicated than it needs to be, so watching it doesn't feel like a high school drama where the internal conflict comes from a "Who will she choose!?" style of scenario. It keeps it tense as the characters are vying for one another, but the central character isn't looking to one character saying "I love you!" then turning to another and saying "But I also love you!"

And while this episode also expanded on the relationship of the Jetmen, it also made the Vyram marginally more interesting. It gave Grey something more to do, and now he's willing to risk his life to protect (What's her name) because he enjoys her piano playing. It's endearing, considering Vyram's entire game is to one up each other to determine who'll rule, but he's doing what he can to help another. I must say, Grey is easily my favorite Vyram so far. He's mysterious, but there is something to him. He's defined by his mystery, but that's not all there is to him as it stands, making him interesting. I'm curious about him, which is more than what I can say about Power Glove or the Smurf.

The ending was also rather strong, too. I enjoyed it, seeing Gai ride away in a storm of emotions before crashing.
