Interesting, the origin of Arc is not that different to the typical Ultra; given the press release details I expected something else. Although we don't actually see the "merger" so it may be explained further in the future. I do like how trippy Arc's interactions with Yuma are though, mirrors, reflections, and straight up pulling him through the puddle. Plus, while they can communicate, neither side is overly talkative and so far there are no "human within the Ultra"-shots which I have grown to dislike. I wonder how they handle the form-change next episode though, let's see.

I do really like Arc so far, it's so basic and fun that it can stand on its own compared to Blazar. There is no need for it step out of Blazar's shadow because Arc was never in it to begin with. It's a completely different kind of show, simple yet creative, very easy to enjoy.

But man, props so far to the actors, I love the characters, the effect work is top-notch and the action is beautiful to look at all. It feels very Showa to me overall, in a good way.

Given that the horn doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon, not a bad guess that it may be both starter and its new form the final boss.
