It's one of my favorite things about the series, seeing the protagonist from game 1 grow from a complete novice to an experienced teacher who teaches the protagonist from the next game. also why i wasn't a big fan of Ryza, they relied too much on Ryza's popularity at the expense of the series's appeal.
