But that debut for Strong Type is definitly a Gaia reference though.

Well you're not the only one, a friend of mine who watched Gaia also mentioned that when it came up. So I'd like to say it's intentional.

Overall though really good episode, it was nice to see we still had a bit more of establishment for our new GUTS Select team to keep the pacing. Next time it looks like we're getting a standard mission with everyone introduced and their bonds forged.

That being said, really enjoyed Strong Types debut! It felt pretty powerful and I continue to love how effective this GUTS Select is when it comes to fighting Kaiju and fighting alongside Ultraman.
