I do wish Akito gets his own Sparklence and his own Ultra form down the line. It would be difficult for Kengo if the 3 Dark Giants and their respective pet monsters will gang up on him down the line.

Z Original is his base form and the form that Haruki and Z left Earth. They might do his other forms in his appearance though.

Ultraman rarely does secondaries, and the only ones that come to mind that appeared significantly later were Hikari and Ultraseven 21. Others like Agul and Zero (in Geed) were there basically from the start.

They might do a secondary Ultra just for the sake of "oh it's TDG so do an Agul", but there's nothing hinting towards it right now and I wouldn't get your hopes up

oh my god

Yeah, I'd say Ignis, Tatsumi, and Akito are probably my favorites so far. Kengo just lacks some character backstory and such to prove me otherwise.

In regards to those scans: Holy moly, Trigger Dark looks fantastic!!! I love how they didn't do the Evil Tiga route with him just being a recolor, especially those protrusions on the body. Wasn't expecting them to give Dada new faces, but... I guess that's certainly something interesting.

Hopefully we do get character focus on the other GUTS Select crew and keep a consistent pace, but looking at these, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. Still, at least it Trigger looks amazing.

That is not a pipe.

Oh right, wasn't Z injured at the start of his series so he had to use the fusion forms? That's probably it. I'm just not used to Z Original being used with Haruki.

Z was injured, but more prominently he was a rookie; and basically had to rely on the powers of his predecessors before he could grow into his own in the finale with Haruki's help.

... still, Gamma Future is just cool, so why not keep using it :p

This version of Dada is the one from Ultraman Powered, the US produced Ultra show. So this is a super obscure kaiju for them to choose from.
