[Frontier]

Kind of makes sense that a Captain for a protagonist would have to focus on his relationship with the brass, in this instance Retsu Haruno who has high expectations for Gento in a very stoic and efficient manner and wants to rush in a new squad to deal more effectively with Kaiju...and thus SKaRD is born. And it seems like they'll be dealing with bureaucracy as much as they are Kaiju.

Did Gento connect to Blazar from his home planet?

The OP is pretty epic, with very Z-style cast introductions, and I like the use of social media to introduce the Kaiju and aliens.

Emi is very lively, sociable, and cute when off the clock. Also seems like she's connected to Haruno? Her and Gento fighting over the check was cute.

Teruaki seems like a solid vice-captain, nerve-wracked and prone to yelling as he is.

Anri feels like if Yoko and Asuna fused together with a dash of mechanical skills.

The hardest part about recruiting SKaRD was getting their signatures!

If I had a nickel for every time a legendary Sea Kaiju that fishermen knew about starts acting up, I would actually have a lot of nickels.

I love how even the crew are underwhelmed by the van, though it did get a bit upgraded.

"In my squad we go by first names and nicknames. This isn't some Showa Attack Team where we all go by our last name." And he really does just walk off until she calls him by his first name.

From the realistic guns of GUTS-Select to giant honking machine guns SKaRD.

Poor Anri not sure whether they go by "Wilco" when responding to an order.

Fisherwoman Emi!

If this was a Showa Ultra show, that fisherman probably would have been able to get his spear through Gedos' back.

So the Blazar medal activates when it knows Gento needs to transform? Kind of funny how Gento took a minute to remember how he did it, I thought it was going to grab his hand again.

First Rise Sequence! You can see the color lines being added to Blazar mid-sequence.

Attack Team earning their usefulness by damaging Gedos' headwhip so Blazar could free himself!

The Spiral Burrade became a fishing rod!? Wow.

Second fight and the color timer didn't kick in.

Earth Garon and Bando have arrived! Though now Gento basically has to compete with himself because his group has to defeat Kaiju before he does as Blazar.
