Very impressed with episode 2 of Decker! Makes me feel pretty bad for saying the premiere didn't put much of a spin on things, because they handily made up for it here. I really love the idea that Kanata was Ultraman for a day, and then spent an entire year pursuing the usual Ultra status quo without anything exciting happening to remind him he's the protagonist of a TV show.

Like, I'm not even sure I'm describing it that well, but that one year gap is emblematic of how the show took way more time out than usual to really build up a part of an Ultraman show that would ordinarily get glossed over. (Nexus is the only other one I can think of that made a point to dramatize basic training like this?) Decker's storytelling so far has been rock solid in its foundations, and I think this week painted a really great picture of our main trio. Definitely even more excited to see where this show goes from here now.
