Kuuga 30.
So that guy was the kid pretending to be an unidentified lifeform a few episodes back. Neat. Glad to see he isn't doing that again. However, life just shits on him when he tries to get his act together, and then the doctor blames him for getting angry that life fucked him? Huh...

Anyway, the turtle grongi takes every hit Godai throws at him and actually manages to defeat Rising Titan. Godai, being Godai, recovers in less than 3 hours and is back to fighting. In the meantime, the police find the Grongi's other base, but they're long since gone. Ichijou also receives a new set of bullets that are more effective, but the current rifles can't handle the recoil, so they can't use them to their fullest yet.

Anyway, Kuuga meets up with the turtle and starts brawling again, and thanks to Ichijou on the assist, using the bullets anyway to destroy the ball and chains the turtle used, Kuuga is able to properly fight (But not before using the Gouram to drag him to a relatively empty area).
Going Rising Mighty, Kuuga delivers an explosive Rider Kick, creating a massive blast radius.
Neat.

Alright, I'll be honest. Kuuga has been on something of a pick up with the episodes involving the teacher and these most recent two. It has become fairly interesting as our characters develop more. But the side cast is reaching the point where they feel like the KRC post Meteor's introduction. They just stand around derping while Godai, Ichijou, and (Sometimes) Sawatori and the doctor work (Also, this one girl's crush on Kuuga and her joke of getting jealous of every girl within a 100 lightyear radius of Godai? Got sick of that the second time it happened).

Let's hope the rise stays, or if it'll do what happened earlier and pull the rug from beneath me and reveal more of nothing despite building up to something big...

Aside: The Grongi had subtitles when they spoke, but it was untranslated. That's bullshit.
