[Frontier]

I thought the show would start out with Gento already leading SKaRD, but instead we get him para-jumping (or Jet-jumping) from the sky with a tactical squad to take down a Kaiju. Kind of gave me Legendary Godzilla vibes.

Bazanga! The first of many new Kaiju to come, I'm happy to see! I like the detail of his antenna and working tongue. Also he really pew pew'd the heck out of everything that went up against him. Really made you feel what it's like for a normal group of people trying to take out a seemingly unstoppable giant monster.

I wonder if they would've been able to take Bazanga down had they been able to use hit him with both special armaments.

That live show seems pretty cool. Sphere!Trigger!? Trigger and Carmeara fighting Alien Barossa!?

I wonder how much of Gento's "Captain Vision" we'll see.

"I'll go" - The definition of a great captain is one who is willing to put himself in the front line for the sake of his subordinates, but it's also something that defines a main character. Though I admit a part of me keeps expecting a reveal that Gento is a Roidmude or to watch him put on a red jacket.

Blazar Brace! Thank you for showing up in the nick of time and forcing me to transform before I got smushed by a building!

So Rise Sequence in episode 2? I'm surprised we got to see Blazar fly off at the end there. Like he was conscious that "uh oh, I better go!" after seeing all the collateral damage of the fight.

Blazar is very...vocal for an Ultra that just grunts. Like, he was practically yelling all his lines! Is that how Blazar talks?

How much of Blazar is Blazar and how much of it is Gento? He seemed to acknowledge Gento's subordinate who was in danger, but is that Gento or showing how Blazar cares for others? Though he was probably mostly there to fight Kaiju.

Emi! Was she part of the operation the whole time? She's not really dressed for it. Is she part of a civilian detachment that just got involved or...?

You always love it when an Ultra rips off a Kaiju's body part/weapon.

Time for the Ultra Beam! Or...we could summon a giant, honking, energy lance. That works too!

It's a Taguchi show, did you really not think we'd get the Showa Ultra-esque title cards?

Never thought I'd hear MindRayn in Ultraman, but here we go! Another banger from her!

Next week: The formation of SKaRD! And the debut of Gedos and the Earthgaron!
