It was nice and fun seeing Fourze fighting alongside Meteor. In spite of being snarky, Meteor didn't seem unhappy or annoyed by Fourze's interference as he used to be. Even when he punched Fourze, it was more or less like friends messing around each other. I think he's secretly taking to Gentarou and the Rider Club. It's faster than I think, not that I'm complaining about it. If anything, I want Ryusei's identity get disclosed as soon as possible. Probably won't be long since the others have already noticed his disappearing act.
Ryusei's appearance definitely spiked up the show for me; although I like the protagonists alright, I think the story was getting a little stale in recent episodes. Meteor's arc aside, I'm also anticipating for some background story on Gentarou, specifically on the reason for his persistence on befriending people. If my memories serve me right, Yuki said Gen had changed and asked him what happened in the beginning. I hope it isn't some contrite emo craps they usually employ in anime and manga or drama, like he indirectly caused a friend to die and decided to make as many friends as possible out of guilt. :sly:
On a side note, I went back and read the first discussions on Meteor and realized that I might be among a few people who never has any problems with him whatsoever. I've never seen him as a douche either. He started off way better than some other members of the Rider club, especially JK.
