Maybe I'm in the minority here but I actually don't really want to go back to the more dynamic and spinning camera angle, especially from Sakamoto's direction. Sometimes seeing those dynamic scenes make my head spinning and it's hard to track the fight. I'm more than satisfied with Takesue's direction with Decker. He has shown that if he really wants to, he can make some dynamic angle shots akin to Sakamoto. It might also because my bias with TDG where the action scenes were simple. There's a monster and the Ultraman just beat them with just simple plain shots. Sometimes simple is better.

And RIP Gomora. You were blown up again. I could hear Daichi dan X's cry in the distance. That aside, I appreciate that the series put more emphasize on its character interactions. My favorite scenes in this episode were just a bunch of characters talking to each other. Be it between the trio in the roof, the Captain and the Vice Capt, or even HANE2's interactions with Kanata and the others. I was doubting whether HANE2 could become the heart of the Guts Select akin to Hanejiro in Dyna but turned out I worried for nothing.

While it's still premature to say it, I think Decker will be one of those series which is strong because its focus on the characters. I don't want to say anything bad for Trigger but I wish the show make more emphasize on its characters. It's the reason why I love ep 18 of Trigger because we got to see more facets of other Guts Select members, not named Kengo and Yuna. If Decker could continue on like this, I think we will have a nice show for the next half a year
