It also comes with the 22 Ultra Fusion Cards shown in all of Orb's media. Plus cards from Geed Onwards as well

Woo! I hope they reissue the complete card sets too.

Potential Fusion Ups you can do with the Dyna, Gaia and Agul cards added to the TV lineup.

Gaia + Victory = Photon Victorium

Tiga + Dyna = Zeperion Solgent

Dyna + Belial = Thunder Miracle

Agul + Belial = Thunder Stream

Mebius + Ginga = Mebium Especially

So, real quick question. Orb has stolen my attention, but is Origin Saga a prequel or a sequel?

A prequel

Noted, thank you.

The UR Tiga Sparklence 25th ver. is out now.

Awesome!

Why wasn't Marluru the host of the specials instead of wasting Deban in them?

Because Tiga.

Because they couldn’t do that “Deban deban” pun with Marluru.

Likely because these are presented as taking place in-universe and how would Marlulu know any of that stuff?

Because he's working with an organization that dealt with Ultras beforehand?

They haven’t though. Only the old man has any past experience with Ultras. Everyone else believed them to be a myth before Trigger appeared.

This year’s apparel exclusive item has been revealed. The Ultraman Cosmos Lunar Mode GUTS Hyper Key.

Hmm, fight got a bit dragged just so Akito can do his thing, pretty funny tho that Yuna got Darrgon to retreat cuz he got slapped. I swear he looked flustered. Tho, I'm definitely thinking they're building Akito to get an Ultra form, that "You can be the Light, too!" thing is big hint.

Where's Z tho?

I know it's going to be repetitive if I keep saying "This is the best episode yet" every week, so I'll spare you that ordeal and just say: Trigger's improving... Kinda.

Quick mention on the Deban recap episodes last week, but I find it hilarious to think that there's a Kaiju with his own YouTube Channel or something promoting the Ultras. Also, Z's coming back soon!

Anyway, Character development! While not as amazing as some other characters in the New Generation (We're still early in Reiwa, so I'm picking the most recent), but still really good overall. That and the pacing is much better, and while I was starting to lose interest in the fight, the moment he switched to Sky Type and started really showing off, the show kept the fight fun.

Really loved Deathdrago (Is he a returning Kaiju, or am I just thrown off because of his look?) and seeing Akito and Yuna square off against Dargon, even getting a good slap in the face. Nice attention to detail having Dargon drenched after being shot by Akito's splash blast.

Here's hoping Trigger will give some focus on the other characters and maybe return to Mars-

Next Episode: Ignis and Hudram are back at it again! Okay, never mind. Also, Kengo doesn't sound very smile, smile in the preview...

Deathdrago is a remold of Hellberus from Taiga

I feel if any of the Dark Giants might turn good or jump ship, it's Dargon because he seems pretty honorable and straightforward, even if he craves a good battle. I'm kind of surprised he stayed on point to go after Yuna instead of fighting Trigger.

I've never seen a monster beaten by a slap, but I'll take it.

I honestly thought Kengo was going to go for Power Type, especially with Dargon there, so him using Sky Type was a nice twist.

I'm glad Kengo and Akito are finally friends now. He even has Kengo's flower in his office!

Did somebody say “Final Odyssey Ultra Replica”?

3000 Yen?! God, I would so have gone for a stripped-down Tiga Spark for that much...

Ah, I see. Thanks, wasn't sure if it was one from a previous season, though given that some Kaiju are remolds of existing ones, it's hard to be certain.

In other news, I'm glad Kaiju Decode is still a thing. Really curious to see how it turns out.

The best thing I've seen all day:

In Titus we trust.

If it was Titas' life on the line I would do precisely the same!

So starting with Travis Strikes Again, you could equip Chips for special abilities. People found out the chips were based on Gundam names.

The chips return in No More Heroes 3, except they are Ultraman names now. (So you get Taiga, Cosmos, Powered Chip, even Trigger chip and etc)

There are a ton of Tokusatsu easter eggs in NMH3

I still need to get around to seeing those...

Been thinking about Shin Ultraman, which may likely get delayed to next year or so. And that's fine, I can wait, maybe they'll upgrade the CGI into something Shin Godzilla quality. Of course, since Anno's started work on Shin Kamen Rider, then that is also okay.

Very OK episode, I'm still not feeling much of the cast, aside from the captain and not-Micchy- I mean Akito. Also, is Multi-type just gonna get beat up over and over so that other forms can take the spot light? Kinda iffy on that.

Next week, Ultraman Z's coming back!

...And I'm slightly worried. Cuz, it might only highlight how lowkey Kengo is compared to Haruki and Z combined.

Okay good next week Z is coming back so I'll probably tune in to watch then cause I could use more Z and Haruki in my life.

"Not bad for an Ultra!" -Ultraman Kermit

I can't help but get an early Heisei vibe from this episode. Sure, it's nothing particularly character focused (at least for GUTS Select), but it was a very fun episode nonetheless.

I love that they kept the detail of Ignis flying around on a Guebasser feather (You can see it when he appears on the Nursedessei), and it definitely appears he's going to be an interesting character...

Another funny moment of Kengo's catchphrase, seriously, it's better when it's used in comedic situations then just saying it so it's a catchphrase. But I sincerely enjoyed seeing the GUTS Select crew take down Satandelos, always great to see the attack team defeat the monster. And of course, the action is top-notch, especially with Trigger's speed-fencing, and switching through his arsenal. Whenever I see the Nursedessei, I feel like it might become a giant mecha or something...

Next Episode: Z-san and Haruki (and potentially Sevenger) are coming back!!! It's hilarious how they're still dealing with the Barossa Aliens. Really made an enemy for life.

So when the Captain was talking about Trigger and all 3 of his forms getting beat we see a still image of Power Type being defeated which we never saw. I'm guessing deleted scene?

Solid episode. Glad to see the show improving.

Ignis is the most interesting character of the series, which I wasn't expecting. He has a strong motivation and the actor is great. I've really enjoyed his interactions with Kengo.

Guts-Select could still use some characterization. They do a lot this episode, but we don't really get any character moments other than the Captain showing some admiration of Ignis.

The Hudram fight was great, but it still feels like the Dark Giants are stalling for time. And did Hudram summon Satandelos? If so, why?

Can't wait to see Z and Haruki return next week. I wonder if they'll explain why they're using Z Original instead of Alpha Edge.

Way to set up the tension when Ultraman Trigger is already in the middle of a big battle and his timer is running out against a monster with "Satan" literally in its name, and then Kengo in vain trying to shoot at it when his transformation times out.

So Hudram wiped out Ignis' entire planet when he first awakened? Harsh.

Ignis shows up at the Nurssdessei enough that he may as well join the team, but it seems like his grudge against Hudram will make him ally with the heroes more often than not, at least until he gets his own Ultra.

So I guess Yuzare awakening more means she can protect Yuna or use more of her powers.

Kengo getting triggered (heh) by Yuna being in danger and using Sky Type to outfence (and finally beat) Hudram before dealing a crippling blow to Satandelos was pretty epic. Also nice to see Nurssdessei get the final blow.
I never thought I'd hear Robin Atkin Downs say "Kamen Rider Zi-O."

I liked the setup for this episode. A robot that is an unstoppable killing machine but only for an hour a day. I guess Hudram found it or modified it himself? Though it wouldn't be the first robot to randomly crash into Earth in Ultraman anyway.

Killing an entire civilisation is evil, killing an entire civilisation except for one guy is just being a dick.

I still really like Ignis.

The GUTS-Select team all doing their bit to help was cool. It's always good seeing the Defense team take out the monster of the week. Even if Trigger and Ignis helped a bit.

Oh snap, Z and Haruki (and Barossa) next week!

Ignis is definitely the strongest character to me so far, though the guy really feels like he's speedrunning the whole "rival-who's-totally-a-softie-and-becomes-an-ally" arc :lol

Mine's still Tatsumi and Akito. Tatsumi cuz I like captain characters in general, and this guy's giving me that 'cool' vibe from him and he's fun to watch make shouts and what not.

I like Akito's characterization so far, it's funny to see him cope about not being Trigger, and I hope he gets a Sparklence because I definitely feel it's gonna be glorious when he does.

I don't know if this is where I should post it, but I'm posting it here anyway. I'm watching Ultra Q Dark Fantasy, I'm 3 episodes in and I'm wondering how is this an Ultraman show? First of all there's no Ultraman and it looks more like a Twilight Zone-esque show. I mean the second episode was creepy.

Yup, that's Ultra Q! Basically, before the concept of Ultraman happened the Ultra series started out as essentially the Twilight Zone with Kaiju. Dark Fantasy is one of the few attempts to revive that concept

Akito's a very interesting character niche rn because usually the person who's Ultraman will be hiding it from everyone on the defence team; but this time around he's got one other person who knows so that creates a fun dynamic of this other character covering for him and helping him hide that secret and etc. Especially fun when he absolutely cannot stand Kengo!
