[Enchilada645]

Man that plushy looks so great honestly, I'd love to just own one.

So onto today's episode, given well what I was reading about prior with which staff were on this particular episode and stuff, I figured we were in for a doozy. This is pretty much our parallel to SSSS.Gridman's Episode 9.

From the start, everything just feels... off. I mean no OP theme for one, but like just the small nuances. Certain shots of the characters just feel way off than usual and give you this foreboding feeling. And then when we get the Kaiju summoned and everyone just starts vanishing mid-sentence or just between shots. I got chills purely because it reminded me of how everyone got dusted during Infinity War, but more sudden.

I also love how they used this Kaiju as a vehicle to show us more of the characters pasts. We get to see more stuff from Yume, and as a result she gets her closure on the whole situation. We see a bit more from Koyomi and we also see Gauma's past. Given the short fight at the end, guess they decided to treat us to two different Kaiju designs even if briefly. I think the most interesting part is how Sizumu is completely out of focus in the flashbacks, we don't see him in the slightest after he vanishes aside from like a far away and a back shot. It really does make me wonder what's going on with him.

I do like how Yomogi got to be the MvP here, just rushing straight forward to save all of his friends. It got me teary eyed how he kept bashing himself against a wall to get to Yume.

Overall a very striking episode with a lot of really great visuals.

Now I suppose the question is... what's next? What exactly is our finale going to be. Especially given the fact that it's been stated that Kaiju have started to dry up. I think the most interesting thing though about Dynazenon is, we haven't had a central antagonist in the slightest. And I feel the closest to that would be Sizumu given just... everything about him, his proactive nature, etc. I'm really curious where we're going in these like last two episodes.
