It’s funny that the Tsubaraya series that explores the consequences of monster battles in more realistic depth than the norm is a) the one set in a virtual reality (where you’d think any damage could be fixed with a reboot) and b) the one co-produced with Studio Trigger (who has produced some fairly comical big hitters).

And I finally have a lot more to talk about on the references front.

* The graphics card used to repair Junk is almost identical to the one used to originally create it in the first episode of Gridman.
* The large army of revived Kaiju recalls the photo novel The Demon King’s Counterattack, which was a rough adaptation of the plot for the unproduced follow up, Gridman Sigma. In the novel, big bad Neo Khan Digifer, brother to the deceased original, revived his aniki’s monster Gilarus, Stealgun, Shinobilar and Neo Metallus and combined them with monsters of his own (Magma Girag, Glavas, Mad Texas, Gorgoberos and Devilight). Fittingly, both armies are defeated by Gridman and a similar hero who used to be a villain (Gridknight in the anime, Gridman Sigma in the photo novel)
