[Switchblade]

Caught up with episodes 7 and 8 today after falling a little behind. Oh man, that Zero Beyond transformation... that is one of the longest toy demo... er, "henshins" I've ever seen. I really hope this isn't a regular thing. The episodes themselves were really, really good, though. I especially liked the confrontation between Zero and Kei, which was all kinds of awesome.

I also noticed something. With her getting more screentime in these episodes, it really started to bug me how familiar Rumina, Leito's wife, looks. I did some quick Wiki-ing and it turns out she's played by Hitomi Hasebe, who also played Mizuki on Ultraman Max. So nice to see a Max veteran on Ultraman again.
