It's Guigass vs Red King II! The eternal rivalry! And Red King throws a rock at 'em to cement his superiority!!!

Kaiju insurance? I'm surprised they've never done an episode focused on that before. You'd think it would be ubiquitous in any Ultra show! Also, props to the in-universe Kaiju suit, that was pretty solid.

Even SKaRD has more monotonous paperwork they have to deal with. Also Yasunobu talks about prepping Earth Garon for space, which you KNOW is going to happen at some point.

Oh hey, OG Red King!

Is anyone else catching some...vibes between Anri and Yasunobu? They seem to be interacting the most among the team and hanging out more. Maybe it's because they're close in age, but it felt noticeable.

A tale as old as time...a salesman with no real prospects in his life and his job, but he meets a kindly old widow and they start to form a bond and find meaning in their lives in talking with and hanging out with each other. Heck they only really pass by the main cast and form the emotional core of the episode.

I love Earth Garon just carrying the van with him.

Kind of a little dark here with Michiko being okay with being crushed by a Kaiju if it means seeing her husband again.

That shot of Tetsuo running with Michiko while the fight was engaging in the background was masterfully shot, especially when the car landed in front of them and blew up.

Of course the insurance agent would complain about SKaRD, trying to save lives from a monster attack, forcing them to spend money through insurance. At least it was nice to see that Aikawa guy squirm.

Feeling a little chilly? Summon the Firdran armor and heat up! And Blazar even plays matador! Though I kind of felt bad for Guigass getting bullied into charging at Blazar.

Blazar didn't have to free Earth Garon so they could finish the Kaiju together, but he did! Got to help your co-workers when you can!

It was sweet in a sad way how Red King and Guigass held each other when they realized they were about to die.

In the end, sincerity and earnest hard work is rewarded and surface-level care is not!

Next week: V99 acts up? The return of several Kaiju? Gento in physical trouble? The Final Boss!?
