Absolute Titan looks like he's based on Manga Ultraseven which I think is pretty cool. His fight with Ribut in that Tamashi Nations stream is worth watching just for Megumi Han nerding out in the background.

This week's Trigger was the best kind of silly. It's like they were trying to make an episode of Zenkaiger.

So who else is a Regulus fan already? I know we only got pics but I am curious how he will be utilized within the franchise. I don't expect him to be the next Zero but maybe the next Ribut, perhaps?

Every time I hear or see Megumi Han it brings me back to that one Steins;Gate event where she is acting a fool.
Start at 1:25 and you'll know what I mean. :lolol

I kind of feel for Marluru not being able to find an apartment that accepts aliens in Japan...

It's time for the Chairman to show up again for his monthly plot-relevant episode appearance.

I love how Ignis is just standing around there like it's normal and he's part of the team while still handcuffed and it's only at the end where Teppei drags him back to his cell.

How does Kengo explain him having dreams about a sexy evil giantess falling in love with his evil alter ego?

The Dark Giants start turning on each other. Y'know, honestly, I can appreciate how much of a team player Darrgon is. Like, even his real speech to Hudram in the last episode was about how they had to stick together. He really is the underrated MVP of this trio. I feel like he was probably a real bro to Trigger back in the day. He kind of deserves better.

Kyrieloid is messing with people to find a savior, and Yuna managing to retain her sanity during the last episode makes her the best candidate, it's just too bad he's not willing to accept a genuine emotional bond between her and her father.

Did anyone else feel like Multi-Type was doing a better job of holding off the Dark Giant trio than Glitter Trigger Eternity was? Although it was nice to see the Guts-Select team come in for backup.

Kengo is surprisingly empathetic towards Carmeara, I guess because he realizes her feelings for Trigger were genuine and he was more than just a boytoy for her, Trigger actually made her happy. Which is why she took losing him so hard.

A surprisingly good father-daughter moment between Yuna and the Chairman as they awaken Yuzare to help supercharge Trigger to fend off the Dark Giants...except Yuzare awakening ended up helping their plans, so it'll have consequences.

Trigger is running on fumes and nothing the Nursedessei can dish out can do any real damage to Kyrieloid. All seems lost until Yuna realizes the chairman has a glimmer of light within him, and with that light she is able to help him summon an old friend...Ultraman Tiga.

Trigger and Tiga finally meet and properly team-up, and they go through all three of their shared forms to battle Kyrieloid. That Speed/Sky type sequence was amazing. And they finish it with a double Ultra-Beam and fly off into the sky together. Amazing.

Welp, back to recap episodes next week.

No joke line today. This was a fantastic episode!

The Dark Giants certainly cause a lot more damage when they're at each other's throats more than when they're up against Trigger. It's also kind of funny how they decided to fight in a big city for their dispute. But gosh darn was the action simply amazing.

I actually like how they handled the return of Tiga, where instead of just having Shizuma transform into Tiga, he summons him, which I actually really enjoyed. But the crown jewel was definitely the team-up between Tiga and Trigger against Kyrieloid, nothing short of a spectacle. They even added an OST! Even if I've never seen the complete series of Tiga (which I love how they brought in Tiga here, as the original Ultraman did with his series), but this was a wonderful moment.

Yep, the "smile, smile" thing is what's going to save everyone, and more than likely reform Carmearra, or at the very least allow her to accept her fate. So far I'm liking how they're handling this.

Next Episode: It's Deban's turn again (which, funny enough I already knew, as Tsuburaya added it as the preview while I was waiting for the episode for some reason).

Kyrieloid hinting that Akito still desires to be Ultraman

C'mon, just give it to him already.

He will be Trigger Sigma. :lolol

I really liked these last couple episodes. It's nice to see the show using the supporting cast in more depth. I wish we'd gotten stuff like this much earlier in the season.

Guts Select already has the Z key, Ribut Key and now the Tiga. It's about time Akito get a break and somehow manages to tap into these keys and become an Ultra on his own.

Akito becomes Trigger Dark. Bet.

Possible character design for next year's Ultraman?

Some are speculating it might be New Generation Gaia.
