Ah see, while I adore Union, I actually like Imperfect a lot more for certain reasons? I think both are pretty top tier OP's. But Imperfect just vibes with me more, there's certain beats, certain tones in the singing that just hit more to me. Also just the high energy in the song and the OP itself compared to the Union OP's.

Now onto the episode itself, while at the time I was still sort of trying to find my vibe with the series, this was a big step up from Episode 1. Rewatching it now I appreciate how mundane the usage of Dynazenon is. The fact that they just carry the parts around on person, them using it for simple things like traveling, and just the training. It's probably why I attach to Dynazenon more than the Gridknight Alliance in general in terms of giant heroes?

Like while I love Gridman and the Neon Genesis Junior High Crew, you really wouldn't be able to do what they do here with them given the sentience. While Dynazenon is clearly some kind of living entity and has some degree of awareness, it's still a bunch of components that form a machine. Like Dyna Wing isn't talking, neither is Dyna Soldier, so it ends up working well since you get to focus on the characters who are the pilots. Though also this might just be my love of giant robots seeping through as instead of Gridman who did Mecha Homages, we now have an actual Mecha.

Now I won't do this all the time but I will plug certain Voice Drama's that I can find with subs just because they're interesting to take a gander to. While 1.1 I could take or leave, 2.2 gives us a look at Gauma and Yomogi's "sleepover" before the hard cut to Gauma snoring.

The entirety of the dub casting for the Kaiju Eugenicists lives and dies on how well they say this line. Juuga's was alright but it was lacking a certain umph, but I have to hear all of them to make any further judgement.
