Well, in my opinion this was a decent episode. Not great or particularly memorable, but watchable anyway.
I appreciate the fact of seeing Shun to be portrayed in this chapter as a decent fighter, instead of always needing to be saved by his older brother Ikki, like in all the non-canonical movies produced by Toei (Which only helped to give him a bad reputation among the fandom, who usually sees him as a wimp. In the original comic, he wasn't like that)
While the opponent Shun battled in this episode was completely generic and forgettable, at least it was good to see one of the most underrated Saints from the original series to have a (somewhat) more dignified role.
