(NFS)	I wasn't expecting to find a shot of Windy so easily. ^_^ This lovely fellow was Paffy's Would Be Fiance ("Would Be" because he would've been, if he hadn't turned out to be a villain.) He ends up with one cool looking little mech, and he's got a really cute, white Gallop. He's also a pretty spiffy-looking lad by himself. He kind of reminds me of Swan, from the OAVs (except Swan was just as much a good guy as he looked the part.) Here he's feeling a bit cranky, due to Sarutobi and Gesshin breaking up his arranged invasion, in episode 17.
	One of the Jaryuuzoku! They only play a short part toward the end of the manga series; but they're the main enemies for the second season of the TV series. This particular one is an extra-big, extra-nasty specimen. From episode 32; he's not especially impressed with our heroes. Isn't he nifty looking?
	Very nice, very cool shot of the Jaryuuzoku from episode 32; I haven't located it exactly, but I believe it comes in during the first fight. The Jaryuuzoku are just such cool looking buggers. Somehow, this shot makes me think of the Skekses from Dark Crystal. Mayhaps I'm crazy. Mayhaps I like the Skekses too much. Mayhaps I just really like saying 'mayhaps.'
	An awesome shot of one of the Dooms; it's perfect for showing off its design, although unfortunately there's not much of the face showing. Great detail, even if it's a bit smaller a shot. I just do so love full body cels. Episode 38; Gimeru realizes that Doan has been defeated -- and he's just not very happy about it.
	Nifty little shot of another of the Dooms, all cool and full-body. Full body shots are great, and it also keeps some good detail. Do I need to mention again that I love those? And I think I've mentioned plenty of times my odd love of air-brushing. So pink, like cotton candy. . . From episode 38; Doan shows off his Doom's speed and flying ability.
	GAAH! Argh, Idoro's a terrifying old lady. ;.; HER TEETH! Oh, ye gods, her teeth.. Still, I can't help but admire the pretty little headdress she's got on. It's the only pretty thing about the old hag.. ^^;; Someone's got to let her know that the makeup just isn't helping her situation. Bleh. But I love the creepy, twisted, evil, mother-son relationship she and Gulden had going on. From episode 20, Idoro vs. Adeu -- it's not just a battle to gain the Spirit Stone, it's a battle for who gets the most space on the screen! (Alas, Idoro's winning the latter fight..)
	Neat shot of Adoria shortly after she first arrives on the scene. Here she's just explaining her big, nasty, evil plan -- a crystal which can control the mind and body of a Ryuu Pilot. (The crystal is a few frames away from appearing in her outstretched hand.) She was a pretty nasty character, and I can't help but appreciate her for that.
	Great shot of Doan's doom, from episode 38. I believe he's just winding up to give Zephyr a great big punch to the face. Not so nice. Rather foolishly, I went through and IDed a whole slew of cels all at once, without writing anything down as I did so.. So now I find myself, a day later, straining to remember exactly what was going on in each scene.. I need a better memory.
	Here's the big ol' Jaryuuzoku warrior that shows up in episodes 31 and 32. All our heroes can do initially is stay out of his way, 'cause he's one bad mother (Shut yo' mouth! Hey, I was...okay...I think I've used this joke elsewhere, anyway. It should just stop.) All the purple smoke is courtesy of Sarutobi; when ninja run away, they run away with style.
	By the Power of Greyskull! ...um... Zig Heil! ...wait...no, definitely not... To the moon, Alice!
