[Frontier]

I don't know what's cuter, Anri playing with the figurines or Yasunobu naming Earth Garon "Earth-kun" or the MOP "Mopy."

I guess you can't take the hacking out of the hacker as Emi kind of goes a little rogue to get some answers on what's going on, answers that could have some severe consequences on SKaRD if she's not careful.

The more Retsu shows up, the more trouble SKaRD is in, though it seems like he's considerate in his own way, just mindful of the public image of SKaRD and everything working against it if they don't perform.

Deltandal, the Moonlight Kaiju! A high-speed aerial type that's much faster than Earth Garon. Maybe they should throw a jetpack or wings on it? Though it's also got an explosive orb attack in it's chest.

So it's all connected. The mission Gento was on that lead him to Blazar, the disappearance of Emi's father, the Space Kaiju that have arrived on Earth...all involving this "V99." So are the V99 a race of aliens or something else? Was the experiment that caused the ruckus some kind of attempt at communicating with alien life that went wrong and kidnapped a bunch of scientists?

I don't trust this Yu Dobashi guy. He acts like a reasonable old guy who tries to keep fit and doesn't know much, but he seems ready to throw his weight around and intimidate someone if necessary.

Deltandal may not be a Space Kaiju, but he's still quite dangerous, but luckily Earth Garon is able to flush him out even if Anri has to fight all the doubts about her aiming skills to hit him.

"I'm going to fix the antenna" - smooth Gento, smooth!

Blazar unleashes Rainbow Slash but it's an aerial dual with the Tilsonite Sword that decides the battle, especially when they clash with their finishers.

Kind of surreal watching the Fly Off happen when the Ultra is already in the air.

I figured Gento didn't know about Emi's dad. And of course he can't deny her the chance to find out what really happened to her father, come what may for SKaRD itself.

So THAT'S why Emi had an "in" with command and seemed close to Retsu. He was her dads' best friend and apparently practically her uncle. That's also why Retsu is involved in what's going on.

New ED! Emphasizing the shows' communication theme with some pleasant and serene vocals!

Next week: Gavadon! Because it's not a Showa tribute until you get the episode where the kids make their own Kaiju.
