Finally got around to the new episode, every episode so far has been my favorite. This is a very good thing.
By the way, I think Ryuuko is being a bit too overpower. I mean, she already fought on equal footing with Satsuki really early on the series, and wiped out the whole Biology club with a single strike on the last episode. Not to mention Senketsu absorbs a "red strand" each time she destroys a Goku Uniform, which apparently makes her stronger. At this rate, bringing down the whole Honnouji Academy will be merely a matter of time.
I don't know, she seems to get her ass handed to her quite a lot. As far as I remember we haven't really been given any reason to believe that Satsuki is that powerful, have we (aside from "She's the leader so she should be for plot reasons")? She has the same equipment as Ryuuko, more or less, but we don't have any proof that she knows how to fight, while Ryuuko obviously does. She's got a special sword, but so does Ryuuko. Being on equal/slightly lesser footing with her sounds fair.
Also, being able to bring down the whole Academy soon doesn't seem like it would be a bad thing. At this point I'm willing to believe that the plot is going somewhere with this, so if she does, great. I assume something else will happen.
