I'd say Decker is handling the special recaps episodes a lot better than Trigger, which had 2 recaps back-to-back after the first 4 episodes, which kinda dented the shows early momentum. Here it feels like the recaps are spread more evenly. I think what also helps is the presence of Marluru and Hotta. They give the episodes so much more personality and character than your bog standard recap episode, to the point I legit enjoy watching the episode

Oh, I don't have a problem with it. Hotta and Marluru are a fun bunch, and I like how this fits in universe than having some random monster just come in to give us a recap especially before Sky Type was introduced.

Other than that, I really need to get around to The Destined Crossroads...

Managed to grab a ticket to a UK subbed showing of Shin Ultraman, in a couple weeks, so that should be fun!

A new Ultraman trademark popped up.

I've seen this be translated as either Ultraman Blazer or Ultraman Blazar

It's just gonna be an Ultraman with a blazer on debating with aliens and kaijus for three intense minutes and the collectible items will be neckties. :lolol

So much for New Gen Gaia.

I officially have tickets to a screening of Shin Ultraman. It's dubbed, which I'm normally not into, but my friend couldn't make the subbed showing. That said...I'll probably go to the subbed version as well. I just haven't gotten tickets for it, yet.

Those are two very different things :lol

Interestingly, though, I think those words are usually written as ブレザー, so I wonder what the significance of extending the レ is, if any? ブレーザー

Interesting...

That sounds nothing like a New Generation Gaia, but I won't be surprised if it still is.

However, if it's actually a new Ultra, entirely unrelated to the TDG Trilogy, I'd be absolutely down for it!

In this recent Decker recap, Hotta brain breaks from getting info dumped about Ultras from other dimensions, as well as learning that bureaucracy doesn't stop during a world ending crisis.

So I'm caught up on Destined Crossroad now and I really love how the team sent to infiltrate the Absoultian homeworld is made up of Ultras who were either the second hero on a show or who only showed up in brief cameos. Xenon got more screen time in this one ten-minute episode than he did in all of Max
