[Baltan II]

Ahhh yes, Galberos. Interesting pair of episodes after Nosferu and Komon's drama over the loss of Riko seems to have reached its conclusion. More importantly is learning more of the story behind what brought Nagi and Mizorogi where they are now, going some way to explaining the bond they share and the last piece of her current bitchiness. The way Mephisto corrupts Mizorogi and preys on his desire to survive is simple and effective, and yet the way Nagi rejects him and why is similarly expected and perfect. Galberos might be dead again, but have we really seen the last of Mephisto...?

They make nothing remotely approaching notable appearances, but it's neat to see more Space Beasts and the type of threats that were being faced before the series started. Arakunia despite his cool bear-spider appearance fades into obscurity, but Frogros does make a surprise reappearance in Ultra Galaxy, one of the few monsters to literally survive Nexus as most suits have either apparently been recycled or lost to time. Guess Frogros was so forgettable even Tsuburaya forgot him!
