It's nice that Eustace isn't shooting to kill at least, but that's a distinction that Ryunosuke can hardly appreciate in the heat of the moment. He's not even sure what to do with Makoto once he traps him, which is part of why he leaves himself wide open to attack like that, aside from his general inexperience with these things; he's just kind of standing there, alarmed that it actually worked, his panicked brain stalling out.
And just like that, before he can even reach a decision, his concentration is shattered. The bubble shimmers and fades away uselessly as Eustace's bolt sends a jolt of pain through Ryunosuke's entire body; he yowls, maybe even more out of surprise than pain, because he honestly has no idea what what the heck even hit him; the shock knocks him away about a foot or two, where he lands unsteadily on his feet, looking frantically all around in wild-eyed confusion, tail lashing about.
Looking in the direction the hit came from, he spots Eustace with his gun, which explains things, he supposes. No clue what kind of gun shoots LIGHTNING instead of bullets, but whatever, that's honestly kind of a relief in some ways....
He's trying to reorient himself, counting the Kenoma present-- Gen, M, Eustace-- His eyes land on Silco briefly. Who the HECK is that guy and when did he get here!?!
That makes four of them, at least three of whom are now converging on Estinien, who's stuck half-buried in the ground. Ryunosuke has no idea what the old guy just did to Gen but he's not about to wait around and find out. Sometimes, he just has to let his stupid impulses carry him forward, and deal with the consequences later.
He springs forward and tries to put himself between Estinien and the two Kenoma (Gen and Silco), casting another one of those shimmering gold bubbles around himself this time.
