Opening with just a little spat between exes as Carmeara slaps Trigger around and talks wistfully about how much more attractive he was as Trigger Dark. And, admittedly, the Trigger Dark suit looks pretty cool.
Carmeara remarking on the timer made me think to myself that it's never gone off for the other Dark Giants (as far as I can remember) despite them also having huge glowing chest emblems. And apparently when it times out Trigger is left unconscious and the darkness that is buried his light rears its head and transforms him back into Trigger Dark. So is that the reason for his specific timer? Did anyone really think the Guts Falcon was going to successfully backup Trigger? So it turns out it's a stable time-loop where Kengo goes back in time to when Yuzare is the only one left fending off the Dark Giants, including Dark Trigger, and his efforts end up redeeming Dark Trigger and he was the original Ultraman Trigger the whole time. Kind of expected Yuzare to be more impactful on Trigger in that respect, but okay. Yuna's actress does a surprisingly good job playing a more or less different character in Yuzare, and it was nice seeing her not glowy or mysterious. I have to say that was probably the most effective use of "smile, smile" in the whole series for me. Dark Trigger was the strong, silent, type even back then. Kind of reminds me of a protagonist from a first person shooter who doesn't talk and just goes along with what his teammates tell him to do. Although I guess you could see that he was still tempted by the Light, but then again, Carmeara... Well, Akito let it slip in front of Yuna that Kengo is Trigger. Another thing I was expecting would take longer than it did. Kengo uses the original Sparklence to enter Dark Trigger's headspace and beat the sense into Dark Trigger, and will have to battle him in the modern day with Trigger's new upgrade. |

Man. Oh well. I wonder what Kengo's Trigger becoming a separate entity from Trigger Dark going to mean? Akito please...! |

Trigger doesn't need to talk to be cool. He's like Link that way.
I'm sort of reminded of Ultraman Taiga when Tregear corrupted him, but this was a pretty good episode. I like how they portrayed Trigger Dark, who even without dialogue, hints to his personality and slight hesitation against the Dark Giants and the Light. I guess Carmilla (Carmearra? I can't pick one) is jealous Trigger dumped her for some Light Side chick. Once again, time judged all (Sorry, not sorry) and it's a paradox. Kengo is the key, and his Smile, smile schtick works incredibly well here. I'm reminded of how I sometimes thought as a kid, good play Tsuburaya. Next Week: Will Kengo punch Trigger like how Hiroyuki punched Taiga? Has Carmeara truly been dumped? Is Marluru going to have a sunset showdown with the Dark Giants? Find out when Trigger gets a brand new toy! |

Tiga has been removed from Chinese platforms due to its violent content!
Worth noting in the annals of Toku distribution. https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2021/10...orms-in-china/ |

P-Bandai’s latest cash grab, er I mean product: the Ancient Sparklence with Blank GUTS Hyper Key.
It comes with a photosensitive sensor that determines what form you transform into based on how much light it absorbs. |

Wait, I just realized something about how it looks.
How come it's assymmetrical and looks like it can still fold? |
