A very nice episode. While I am a bit disappointed that we seem to get yet another solo update, the episode itself was pretty good and I really love how Takaharu was characterized in this one.
It was great to see how Takaharu, who is clearly not the smartest out of the bunch, admits not only his talents, but also his weakness, but also acknowledges every team member for their talents and flaws and comes to the conclusion that they make each other grow (a thing that also happens a lot in the focus episodes and something I really like about the show in general).
I also liked that even though the Upgrade was insanely strong, the full team worked together to win the fight. Of course, the mecha fight was all Takaharu, but given that the new Otomonin is build apparently for only one person to work with, this is perfectly fine with me.

The end was really cute, with Yoshitaka complimenting his grandchildren and Kinji finally becoming his student- the reactions of the other Ninningers really made it feel like he also became a part of the family
