I feel like I have an innate talent for making a fool of myself. But otherwise this was a fun episode! We got some backstory for Marluru, some spotlight for the crew, and foreshadowing whatever Ignis has planned as the new Trigger Dark.

Marluru went full-on Shotaro Hidari this episode, which was certainly amusing. Heck, even the backstory of Tatsumi recruiting him/her(?) was rather nice, especially since it gives us a glimpse of how he isn't fazed by a Metron with hands, or any alien who just lives like a hobo.

"No Comment." I'm pretty sure she just has a lot of fun piloting GUTS Falcon, I mean who wouldn't with that VR headset and swiveling chair, blasting at the monster-of-the-week, but acts cool so she doesn't get too chummy with the others. Or at least, that's how I perceive her.

Tessin, man, I always found him to be an endearing face in the group, especially after his appearance in Orb had such an impact, this is the guy I want to see more of, since all he really does is shout things and man the cannons.

And how can I forget Ignis trying (poorly) to hide from everyone, but ultimately, doesn't get found, was a lot of fun.

I actually don't mind this being a recap episode, since Ultraman has been pretty good with their recaps in how they make them entertaining, while also building up the upcoming arcs and connecting the pieces the show introduces. At least to me. Heck, since we've come this far, I can honestly see why Kengo doesn't have any backstory so far, since what transpired last episode, which may or may not be a good thing, depending how the series wraps up.

Next Episode: Diavolo is going to live up to Tartarus' standards of being an Absolutian, by showing up, flexing, then nigerundayo(!) when the Ultras get serious. But hey, we get to see our favorite Malaysian Ultraman, Ribut again!
