The Z Riser did originally belong to Zero. And we even see him using it in The Absolute Conspriacy. So I can see at the end of the show trying to return it back but Zero fully acknowledge Z and lets him and Haruki keep it. And Alpha Edge would be seen as his base form.

Z is absolutely going to be most strongly associated with his Original form in the long run. Keep in mind that Anphans is considerd the "default" Nexus nowadays even though promotional material and merchandise at the time placed Junis at the forefront at least as often.
Alpha Edge is never going to go away or anything, especially since New Generation Ultras pretty much always run through their basic forms whenever they show up in a movie or whatnot, but I have trouble imagining them going out of their way to keep it more prominent than any of his other ones. Not that I would be opposed to being wrong, for the record! Alpha Edge is still probably my favorite Z form.

This week on Ultraman Z, obstructive bureaucrats do as they do. I totally adored this one, by the way. The pacing and sense of escalating tension are downright masterful. Probably one of the best episodes of the show so far.

This was an absolutely tense episode, the atmosphere was so thick you could probably cut it with a knife!
Just the dread and everything in the air as well as all the shots and music, it was just, really well put together. And this is definitely a really good episode to start off our final stretch. And as I suspected from last week, next week's episode: Barossa III: The Revengeancing

I have a lot of grievances with Ginga S (perhaps I should go into that some day!), but one thing I will always stand by is that they nailed the ending as a highlight of the danger of escalating weapons. That's a very classically Kaiju Toku genre staple to get into (and I believe Ultraman does it a fair bit itself), and it will always stick out as something that saves the show for me.
And boy was I getting flashbacks here. It doesn't go too outside what you'd expect from these characters and that episode preview, but it delivers exactly what it needs to. Phenomenal episode and I really think Z's coming together now. Next time: Sevenger returns, Juggler probably jobs off to the woods, and Celebro totally didn't get a new host who was acting strangely triggerhappy and power-abusery this episode!

I think Haruki and Z will still remain together even after the end of Z. This universe Earth still has monster attacks even without outside influence / Devil Splinters.
It won't be anything like the end of Taiga where Taiga and Hiroyuki bid farewell at the end. And we know Tsupro has better relations (contracts!) with their main actors and can probably easily get them back when they need a crossover episode / movie.

So, then where does Ultroid Zero fit in all this?
I still can't get over how badass "Swallow the darkness, golden storm!" sounds. Looks like Sevenger comes back next episode. Last edited by TheRaizin; 11-20-2020 at 08:48 PM.. |

Also yeah, Haruki's chant for DRC is easily my favorite out of the phrases he uses for the forms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On an unrelated note, wow. After ending this ep on the bombshell of STORAGE being disbanded, I'm kinda surprised they actually have preview for next episode depicting everyone already settled in and moderately happy with their new jobs/lives. I was sort of expecting something a bit more depressing, since... y'know... they all just got fired. But if these two episodes and Aruto's transition from Hidden Intelligence to Hiden Manufacturing are anything to go by, I guess the overall outlook of loosing your job has apparently changed in japan? |

So, the head honcho claims to understand their arguments and then complains of body pains and then gives them one questionable order after another!? Yeah, he's absolutely fine. Nothing wrong here. Also, the Pro-D4 arm-twister in semi-militaristic fatigues who we've never seen before is TOTALLY TRUSTWORTH... nope, not in the slightest!
I was moderately surprised that Mother Kelbim was defeated so easily, but Kelbim was just there to make the threat so desperate and dangerous to "justify" the use of D4. Not surprised that D4 is loaded into King Joe, as both are part of the same theme of "dangerous weapons might be too dangerous to have." The obvious indifference on the part of the higher-ups dispenses with the pretense that they're anything but corrupt and morally bankrupt. Z apparently believes in Starfleet's Prime Directive, with key differences. He'll save you from outside threats or cataclysmic events brought on by hubris, but you're decisions and actions are still your own! In the next day or two... THE ABSOLUTE CONSPIRACY BEGINS!!!! |
