Watching Tiga after Trigger, you really appreciate how much they went to the trouble of giving each of the cast focus episodes, which most of GUTS-Select didn't get outside when Kyrieloid was driving them crazy.

Otherwise it was the Kengo-Yuna-Akito show (and I liked that trio, admittedly, but still).

And despite this the three characters I thought were the most fleshed out were Ignis, Dargon, and Yuna's dad for what little he showed up for.

And he was actually from Tiga, technically lol.

No Taiga, Titas, or Fuma? Sad.

But in all seriousness, I do like this ranking, it pleases me to see Z, loved that show.

Oh, this only makes me more excited to see that film! It shouldn't be long now, and I haven't been spoiled too badly like with Shin Godzilla.

Watched Ultraman Trigger Episode Z!

It was an Ultraman Movie alright. It was great to see Haruki and Z again, and I also love how Celebro was just vacuum packed at the end. But other than that it was a fairly standard movie that doesn't really do much aside from finish off the little hook they had at the end of the series.

With that done I suppose I can finally move onto rewatching Decker after taking a break to fully finish Trigger since I at least owed it a full viewing.

Decker Episodes 7-8

This was actually fairly good for a crossover. It definitely had a lot more substance in terms of who was crossing over thanks to the more direct connections. You get characters recognizing older ones, and I feel like Kanata gets something to chew on compared to Kengo when he met Haruki and they were just being buds. Kanata wondering what he's fighting for and still needing to find that answer but fighting anyway will be interesting to see. Curious if they'll tie that into the final form given how his other forms have been birthed via his different emotions in different situations.

There's a real interesting mystery in a very different Yuzare giving Decker/Trigger Equipment to Kengo. Plus we still don't really know who or what Decker is. And I do like how we do get Kengo explaining he's tried to come to Earth multiple times but was stopped by the barrier. Curious if that Sphere Card is a two time use thing or if Kengo'll come back in the future.

These two episodes alongside an earlier one and the next episode also do something I really enjoy which is give us a bit of an over-arching story without it being actually story related. In that we're reminded constantly that the Sphere are around and their presence has been kickstarting tons of things and also depriving people of being able to leave, especially aliens.

Carmearra coming back is something I'm a bit iffy on, if only because I feel like if anyone was closer to that sort of heel to face turn it would've been Darrgon (Who admittedly is now still around in some form thanks to the end of the episode) but they managed to make it work. I'm guessing the Dark Giant Trio are going to be in future Ultra Hero Fight stuff given their old story is basically done and they won't be interfering with Decker's story in the future.

Decker Episode 9

This might be my favorite Episode of Decker so far. Grace and his daughter were a delight to see, and it was a great story that I thought was going to have a tragic ending during the finale of the fight against Sphere Red King.

I'm really glad we have Miracle Type to just screw the rules and do some cool stuff.

Also I was not expecting Captain Murahoshi to shine here again. Just like with the Eleking situation he shows his big heart to trying to help as many people as possible no matter how small the situation might seem. He's been great to see this week and I'm excited to see that we'll learn more about Vice-Captain Kaizaki next week based on the preview.

I'm still waiting for Asuka to show up...

Got a lot of X vibes from the most recent Decker episode. Loved it!
