I must say, I really enjoy the approach they're taking with Blazar. It seems Blazar is "learning" about humanity, hence why he felt the need to take a drink or watching educational shows.

I mentioned when we first saw the Kaiju in the Press Conference, something about Demaaga looked off, and now I can say that it was because it was the baby's suit. Still, it was a precious little monster, reminds me of Baby Godzilla (and the fact that Demaaga looks like Godzilla adds to that).

It's kind of sweet how Gento humbles himself to his family about his position in the GGF and the team (or mostly, Teruaki who knows of his family connections) just rolls with it. The dynamic of his family is pretty sweet all things considered.

I also like the detail of Earth Garon's eyes not retaining their design we've seen before and just left bright blue, as if it's the villain. This episode really had it going for it!

And of course, some discourse between Gento and Blazar with the two fighting each other is quite something. I feel like this show is a reimagining of Ultraman in a way Shin Ultraman or Ultraman the Next did, while still remaining true to the core of the character, which is something I love. Whether that was intentional or not, it's still good. And for a moment, I thought we were going to see a Blazar Form debut with that Red Stone, but a "new" power works too. I'm honestly enjoying this subversion of expectations. Good job, Tsuburaya!

And Retsu is probably not taking kindly to Blazar after this, so brace for a "We're gonna kill Ultraman Arc."

Next Episode: Is that Starro the Conqueror!?
