While it might leave newcomers with questions, it doesn't overwhelm them and you can still appreciate the story in something of a vacuum.
And it's nice to be reminded after a two year absence how much I like these characters. Especially Koya; she's like a female Raphael with all her temper tantrums and angsty pouting.
As for Bludgeon, it's nice to get a bead on his personality after so much time not having one, though "calm and collected" is a bit boring (though I understand how it makes him a foil for Koya). His accessories remind me of a stereotypical surfer guru, so I can't help but read him with one of those voices. But that's me projecting personality ONTO him and not something intentional, admittedly.

Mellow surfer is fair.
I started with two thoughts: if he has the personality to match his appearance, super-predator, well that's kind of expected. But making him more adaptable, more reasoning, well. He's being like water, to borrow a line.
He's the most well adjusted of the three. He moves forward. (It's what sharks do!) Seems like the right nature. Aggressiob just didn't feel right.
So sure, surfer attitude (but minus any surfer lingo). Just matter of fact and take what comes.
