Though on the flip side when his opponent does give him a challenge then you know shit got real.

Kind of like how in RoU when you're not sure how Jack is going to win with the timer running out he just pulls out the Ultra Bracelet and immediately eviscerates his enemy. Though it's usually quite spectacular.

I did like how the first time he uses the Emerium Beam you can kind of feel the weight behind it because it's the first time he's done his Ultra Beam and it's like he's about to shoot a WMD.

The other thing comes from Mother of Ultra herself, as the dialogue makes it sound like Taro is being BORN and not just JOINED with Kotaro!

That... doesn't... sound right... does it?

That actually was the intention initially. They would later retcon this tho and make Taro a seperate character from Kotaro

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was somewhat weird (especially since it seems to imply that the Mother set Kotaro up to die so she could use him as an incubator.

That definitely paints Mother of Ultra as a lot more suspicious and darker than need be (to say nothing of Ultra Society as a whole)!

Not the first franchise who looks better (or worse) thanks to a retcon.

But the original dialogue remains, and there isn't much a retcon can do to reconcile itself with Mother's original thought process and the actions of the five preceding Ultra Brothers.

WTF!? The series literally opens with an episode in which a Kaiju (Astromons) attacks a dog and eats another a Kaiju (Oil Drinker)! The fate of the dog isn't even brought up.

Next episode, the protagonist and another dog (at least this time someone cares about the dog) end up in the stomach of Live King (or Raiveking) after it already consumed the Kaiju Cosmoliquid (who already had a knack for using its tongue to snatch humans)!

So, Kaiju eating Kaiju is one thing, but what do these writers and producers have against dogs!?

Not sure if this counts as a SPOILER or not, but..

um, maybe don't get too attached to that dog. I don't think the writers were.

The episode with Dilemma/Jirenma, is I think the point where the writers didn't want to account for how the dog factored into the story anymore.

I've also been looking into other Kaiju and one of the most destructive has got to be Silverbloom from Leo. Not that it's the most powerful, but it's "success rate" is abnormally high!

Don't click the link if you want to avoid major spoilers!

I never finished Leo though I knew that MAC didn't have a stellar go of it, but DAMN this sounds like a horror movie more than an episode of Ultraman! The reception to the show was clearly bad for this to happen.
