	From episode 7, Adeu's most pleased to finally get his card back. Cute shot of a very determined looking Adeu, still in his silly undershorts. I like how Adeu managed the typical anime costume-change of simply swirling a cape across the screen, then suddenly being back in his old clothes.
	Well, as I'm acquiring more and more Ryuu Knight cels, my attention's been turning toward some of the more obscure characters who only popped in for a couple episodes. As ultimately useless as he really was, I was kind of hoping for a cel of Gizaru. Great, characteristic shot of the big doofus, practically drooling over Gulden's promises of power. Earthia's Haou, indeed... (Episode 12.)
	From episode 20, Bareina leads Adeu and company into what he thinks will be a safe spot where they can avoid Idoro's warriors. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold them long. Even worse, not only can Idoro still spy on them in this room, she can communicate with them -- and there's not much worse than getting a visual message from Idoro... On the bright side, they get a beautifully painted background, and that's got to count for something.
	Bought partly because I love the gorgeous purple tones in the background, and partly because I really liked Idoro's skeletal warriors. Cute far-off shot of Adeu and the defeated minions right after Adeu manages to do something right. Episode 20 was rather fun, with some good moments of Sarutobi and Adeu running around, being chummy and stupid together.
	Nice shot of Gulden talking with Gizaru from episode 12. Gulden certainly strings this guy along pretty easily. It's shortly after this scene that we start to get an idea of Gulden's true intentions. Such a naughty, naughty boy. There's a glimpse of the Magic Stone behind Gizaru.
	Lovely shot of Paffy from episode 26; at Gulden's mercy. ...Not that he has a great deal of 'mercy'. Great shot of Paffy and Magidora both; Paffy's looking especially cute again. As much as she annoys me at times, I can't help but like Paffy in the end. She's a nice girl.
	Keen shot of Gulden's Shutell on fire after getting hit with Adeu's 'magic sword' (thanks to some magical contributions from Paffy) from episode 12. Unfortunately, as our heroes will find out, Gulden is one of those guys that just doesn't stay down for very long. The guy puts up with an incredible amount of damage, really... Great fire effects.
	Great Book cel of Bakuretsumaru as Sarutobi charges in to rescue Iori, in episode 32. The neat-looking purple object on the left side of the cel is mostly obscured in the on-screen presentation, as that is where Iori was bound by the gunky black goo Idoro was fond of using at that point. As it appeared on the show, there would be additional layers for both Sarutobi and Iori; this was the non-moving portion of the scene.
	From the conclusion of episode 28. A nice little scene with everyone gathered 'round and having a meal... (Except for Sarutobi, who simply rests above and watches. Aside from that one time in episode 16, Sarutobi just doesn't eat.) Adeu tries to convince Hittel to do something about his mercenary sister; Hittel, however, seems to have long since given up on Katze. I must wonder if she was always like this?
	Neat shot of some of the Jaryuuzoku folks on board one of their ships. I really like the completeness of this set-up; the little monitor screens are great. I was quite excited about getting this one -- I'd like more shots of the Jaryuuzoku people.
