And there is indeed a significant age gap between him and the actress playing Yoko. 12 years in fact. Though given what I?ve seen about Japanese values regarding relationships (specifically, age gaps between consenting people of legal age are actually encouraged, since an older partner is better able to protect their spouse), I?d argue the guys? reaction to the teacher is less protectiveness and more jealousy (Ryuji?s been with Yoko all her life, and it has been established that Hiromu and Jin knew her as a toddler) mixed wih fear of the baby of their bunch growing up.

As for the rest of the episode, we finally get some of the evolution the Messiah Cards were advertising, with the Metaloid of the week being the first female (at least, until she turns into Messiah) and Escape is able to use it to transform into a robot monster form, presumably done irl because they realised there was only so much the human actress could pull off, training or no, before suspension of disbelief got stretched too far. Plus it gives her a more elaborate fight than the one from last episode.
