And we get our final Gridman combination, in the form of Sky Gridman. His attacks, the Amp Laser Circus and Lucky Smoke Screen homage the original Vitor’s two pilots, Amp Pierre and his replacement when the show got unexpectedly renewed and the actor couldn’t commit to the new episodes, Lucky London. To sum up the differences, both in the words of TV Tropes and my own.

Quote:

Amp's unusual and borderline non-sequitur behavior was often used as a source of humor, inspiration or creative solutions to many of the show's plots, including the recurring gag of his catchphrase being different in each episode. Lucky meanwhile was a Surfer Dude and... that's basically it.

As for my words, Amp got the funniest lines (Holy Mel Gibson! That’ll make him one lethal weapon), while Lucky was on the receiving end (You couldn’t perform magic if Merlin himself was helping you).

And a last bit of trivia, this week’s monster, being made by Anti instead of Akane, not only has a totally different aesthetic, but has his voice distorted for the cry (though he doesn’t seem to be saying anything legible)
