It's show about giant alien superheros but still manages to nail some very down to earth moments. The fact that this episode does this so well is enough to mark this as a good Ultraman show, I think.

This post really hits the nail on the head and I think episode 5 was great about this too. R/B has really stepped its game up these past two weeks.

Shockingly Kiwami and I are in agreement about something again. I thought the premiere was fine but it did leave me fearing R/B would be kind of "watered down" compared to the last couple shows. Thankfully that fear turned out to be completely unwarranted.

If they used it better, like if Rosso uses Taro’s power he actually connects to his consciousness and gains advice and thus character development from a past Ultraman, that’d be cool.

So what you're saying is the show would be better if it were more like Kamen Rider Ghost?
