As long as there's an excuse for Ultraman to be summoned near the end of the episode, they can have entire episodes focused on one off characters and monsters with little interaction with the main cast and still be worth will episodes as long as they keep the heart. This can lead to so really artsy episodes, as you will soon see with a certain Max episode later on...

Okay I am now looking forward to more of Max because I can enjoy Artsy episodes. But yeah I noticed that a lot with X how there were episodes where Xio wasn't the main focus and such. The way you explained it though, yeah it's probably that reason as to why it works so well for me.
