[Frontier]

Not often you see the Attack Team need to pick up the Ultra's unconscious body and carry it back to Earth...and then lose it in the atmosphere, but points for bringing him back!

Well, things are looking grim. Vallaron has arrived on Earth in his final form and is attacking Japan, Dobashi is non-plussed about the possible destruction of everything, Emi is in handcuffs and locked up...and SKaRD is barely holding it together.

But luckily all the relationships in the military that Gento has formed come through and re-supply the team so they can send Earth Garon back out there! It pays to form relationships!

HE SPEAKS!!! And he used Gento's catchphrase! I'm crying like Gento's crying! And then they do the hand reaching out moment for the final transformation!!! It's beautiful!!!

Teruaki being given captaincy felt so right, and of course the first thing he does is defy CCP so that Earth Garon can fight Vallaron with Blazar. That's exactly what Gento would've done.

I like how Anri and Yasunobu are the last Earth Garon combination and not just because I ship them.

Nobody puts Retsu's niece in handcuffs! Or distorts the truth about what happened to his close friend.

Nice of Blazar to start out with the Firdran armor, not that it does any good.

With a V99 invasion force facing the Earth, the truth comes out...there was never really an invasion, an exploratory vessel was assumed to be one and destroyed, with the tech harvested to build up the Earth Garon and the wormhole tech that went awry. But there were never any weapons and they killed innocent aliens for nothing, leading to the retaliatory action of V99.

For once this isn't a problem that can just be solved by an Ultra overpowering a Kaiju, it has to be solved with communication and laying down of arms, as Emi tries to convey to V99 that they don't want to fight. And, conveniently, Earthy made from their tech can actually communicate with them. And it works!

Of course...could they not command Vallaron to stand down or stop attacking? Do they have like no control over the Space Kaiju after they release them? I guess we still needed to finish the fight.

Is there anything more amazing than the power of Gento's son cheering him and Blazar on and his bracelet powering Blazar up to finally finish Vallaron off by finally unleashing HIS ULTRA BEAM?!?!?!?!

I like Blazar honoring Earth Garon and his efforts while Earth Garon gives him a thumbs up before Blazar flies off.

I'm kind of surprised the show ended with A. Gento still fused with Blazar and B. the team not knowing he was Blazar. Guess they'll handle that in the movie. Still, a good ending for SKaRD, Dobashi giving credit to the next generation, hope for the future of V99 beyond the blazar, and seeing Gento back with his family!
