I want to see this in motion but the images look very promising.

Well, this was an absolutely delightful and sweet episode of Blazar. It has the charm of the Gavadon Episode from the original while also adding onto it in interesting ways like how it eats and the wholesome relationship it has with the kids.
I love how we got more Blazar Spiral Bolide shenanigans, this time being a crane game. SKaRD's reactions to this were also fun, and I find it funny how Blazar just gives up with Gavadon before deciding to send him to space. Next Episode: Why am I getting Evangelion vibes with this one? On another note, I'm very curious on Ultraman Rising. So far, I like what I'm seeing.

You know it's a Showa tribute episode when they bring in Gavadon, focus on the kids, the adults make things worse, and they end things in a creative way!
An artistic kid in an Ultra episode? We know where this is going. Although honestly some of those sketches could be solid Kaiju. Poor Gento. Dude missed Sports Day with his son and totally spaced on it and his attempts to spend some quality family time are met with the belief that he's trying too hard. Tough being an Ultra dad sometimes. Would you buy a Gavadon plushie? Or body pillow? Ha! Gento zooming with his team who give him the go-ahead to relax with his family...only to get a full view of his crotch in his undies. Classic zoom experience. This probably all could have been avoided if they'd just not kept upping Gravadon's size (and threat level). But they're kids, so you kind of get it. I honestly thought Gento was going to reveal his SKaRD status to Jun for a second before he transformed into Blazar. Gavadon is so soft he shrugs everything off. No matter what Blazar threw at him it just comically bounced off of him. Not even the Spiral Burrade crane game was enough to stop him! Huh, nobody in the main cast ever really figured out what Gavadon was. Did Blazar even hear the kids telling him he was a good Kaiju? Maybe that's why he took him into space (or because he ran out of other ideas). And now Gavadon is a constellation, as he is meant to be. But what was most important about Gavadon were the friendships that were forged along the way, and planning to have some fun with dad. |

If yes, good news!
This was a charming episode. I like that Blazar seemingly spends HOURS "fighting" Gavadon with no success. Unga bunga doesn't work when you're fighting a giant marshmallow fish thing! |

Crane-game finisher is next level shenanigans even for Blazar standards, I love it.
Plus, seeing Gavadon again is always a treat, I adore the OG episode. Wait a minute - I missed this entirely. Blazar just doesn't do color timer, do they? Wow. I never noticed that |

This was a really cute episode of Blazar. It's all held together by how all those children are turning in solid performances (although the English dub maybe struggled there), but even without that, there's a lot of charm to this story.
I did find it amusing how Jun tells the others he'll be sure to write them at the end though, as though it's the only way to keep in touch with distant friends. Like, kid, your dad just made a video call earlier in this exact episode! We live in a much more connected world than that! I know this one is a real throwback, but it's not actually the Showa era anymore!

Boy, was that drawing of the supposed Kaiju funny and well made, it'd be hilarious if it actually comes true later on.
So now Earth Garon can officially be counted as a character! And while I'd love to see him take out a Kaiju all on his own, I still love seeing it in action whenever it appears. The moment Teruaki got beamed, I had a feeling it'd be something stupid, but I guess it doesn't have to be fears specifically. But Emi's being herself is an interesting choice, since it shows she's her greatest obstacle in a way, but on another hand, we can basically say we got out Giant Fuji Episode with this one technically. And the hospital shenanigans were hilarious. Also, Mogusion trying to sneak behind Blazar when he shut off his eyesight was adorable. Somehow Tsuburaya always manages to make the fights really enjoyable. But boy, was he a smart one faking out Blazar and taking advantage of that and deflecting his rainbow. Next Recap! Time to see our possible antagonist or new fan from across the stars...
