[Frontier]

That Ragon jump scare tells me this would've been a great episode to air around Halloween. The scream even carried into the Opening!

It's fun getting a monster investigation episode with just the girls! Ichika with that youthful enthusiasm and Kaizaki the weary maturity of age. Of course Ichika says Kaizaki is still "young" when she's still feeling being 30...

Ragon comes to "beautiful young women with pure hearts?" So basically Ragon is a Kaiju of culture? I love how Ichika took the compliment and Kaizaki felt so insulted she was excluded. She's plenty beautiful thank you very much!

So Ragon worshippers are "Ragonites?" Good to know.

I love how we're just establishing that every legend of a fish-like humanoid being is basically Ragon.

I kind of want to see Ichika ride a bike.

An unmasking!? Has this suddenly turned into Scooby-Doo!? I didn't think we'd get in-universe Kaiju suits...

Man, Ragon looked kind of adorable in that flashback.

So sealing up the ancient sea creature because he wouldn't fit in the current era...ends up releasing him in an era where he fits in even less and he's steaming from having been sealed up in the first place. Great job, Ragonites!

Ah, classic Ultraman where the protagonist only really shows up just to transform and fight a Kaiju. I feel like the Ichika episodes are where Kanata takes a backseat the most.

Ragon is so slippery Decker just can't get a bead on him. Although he's surprisingly powerful. He tanked an Ultra Beam and fired back like it was nothing!

I get where Ichika is coming from, but I don't know if growing old and outliving all your loved ones is comparable to being separated from your loved ones because of a planet-wide quarantine. Also, what about what Ragon wants? And isn't Miss Urasawa liable for assaulting several people?

I love how Decker saves the day with Miracle Type and we don't even explain what he did because Miracle Type.
