I like Camearra, though I probably would've used Kryienoid.

This episode was a pure delight. Zangill is already one of my favorite Aliens.
The setup was so obvious that it would be some nefarious plot, and yet they subvert it in making it something that's quite noble in giving the Kaiju peace with a funny Samurai loving Alien. Fitting how Nijikagachi was a vengeful spirit, considering all his lore from his two-parter, but taking over Zangill so they two can fight and have a Samurai style showdown while SKaRD looks on in confusion (love how Bandou can now finally speak with Earthy) was all immensely fun. But gosh darn do I miss Zangill already. What a wonderful Alien. Next Episode: Oh no... The Unspecified Virus of Unknown Origin!

The episode where we have so many new Kaiju suits we may as well make an episode bringing most of them back!
Nothing more classic Ultraman than the wandering alien that finds you and knows you're Ultraman! Zangill is just really cool. A space samurai who speaks like he's from the Sengoku period, a cool design, a nice dynamic with Gento, and a love of coffee. No wonder this dude got tasked by Zamsher on a quest to quell the spirits of dead Kaiju. Ha! He straight up flung Gento! Dang, it just had to be Nijikagachi, huh? And he's just as much trouble this go-around. Blazar holding that truck like he was holding a toy. Of course you had to have Blazar and Zangill wielding their swords together. They're a very cool team! Complete with a sword power up! Yasunobu finally gets to talk to Earthy! And Earthy helps explain the plot! "Let's support Blazar" - Proceeds to get wrecked. Um...I guess you bought him a minute? Dang, even when you slice a Kaiju up it doesn't stay dead. I mean, I know it was already dead, but still. Though I guess we needed an excuse to have Blazar fight Zangill. Oh yeah, wining with the blunt edge of a sword and a double attack! It's sad to see Zangill go but is there anything more hardcore than a wandering spirit passing on in peace after a job well done? Too bad he couldn't have one last cup of coffee. |

Mitsuru Karahashi (Kaido from Faiz and Juzo from Shinkenger) never disappoints.
![]() I am officially a fan of Zangill. Love his background story and his fondness for coffee.

It says a lot when what is essentially a one off episode will go down as probably one of the best episodes in the series. Zangill was so good and the story was fantastic.

Irugo, the pollution Kaiju! Probably the mots relevant Kaiju of this time! Even if it's just polluting so it has an environment it can actually live in!
Having a Kaiju that's just a neck and a head was neat. Reminded me of Ultraman: Towards the Future. I love how Gento just ran from reporters. Uh oh! Gento is spending long hours, his wife is starting to get suspicious, and his son is depressed. That's not a good situation for our resident Best Dad/Captain. If this were another show I honestly would've expected that bracelet to become an upgrade device or something. I figured Irugo was the Third Wave, but what does command really want? Do they want to understand V99 as much as we do? "Good luck, dad!" - the way Emi said that and the way her face looked really came off like she sees Gento as like a father figure. Or maybe I'm just saying that knowing now about her daddy issues. Is that a new miniature vehicle!? Even the jet looked more like a miniature. Too bad both were pretty useless. Emi used her secretary outfit to get information on her dad. It wasn't effective! Well, at least until the end. I love Attack Teams coming up with clever anti-Kaiju solutions. An air purifier Mecha! So are we meant to assume that all the Space Kaiju are morphed from Irugo's? Is that why one transformed into Gebalga? Could they transform into Bazanga too? Pretty inconvenient getting a rematch with Gebalga when you can't use an arm, but Earth Garon was a real MVP here. Also, new insert song for Blazar! I had a feeling the newscrew catching Gento would get to his family who recognized him immediately. Though it doesn't seem like they've clued into his exact job...but at least it didn't cause too much drama. I guess they're just glad he's safe. I guess the invasion is in full force with that legion of Irugo's popping up all over. Next week: Blazar's final form-ish! |

I'm starting to think the old exercise guy is purposely leading Emi, given how they know Nishizaki made contact with Emi supposedly *after* she encountered him first, leading me to think they "encouraged" him to reconsider. Curious to where that could lead.
Love how we actually got to see some more of the GGF's arsenal and Irugo bringing an interesting battle dynamic, really fun to see puppeteer Kaiju in action. Also, his design reminds me of Slifer the Sky Dragon. And wouldn't you know it! Gebalga II is here, and he's got friends or Kevins or whatever you wish to call them! Ironic how Gebalga is the only Kaiju to force Blazar to get an upgrade or something not once but twice. I know Nijikagachi gave Blazar the Rainbow Halo and the Tilsonite Sword technically came from Garamon, but I feel Gebalga's contributions felt more substantial. Anyway, loved the fight and the ending with Gento and his family was adorable. And boy, oh boy, that ending! Next Episode: "A BRAND-NEW TOY! No, seriously, this one is a from!"
