HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR THE THREAD: Please list as many things as possible that Yomogi and Yume could've had in their backpacks on a weekend, when they were investigating the potential creep from Kano's past, knowing that their Dyna Stuff and phones would easily fit in their pockets.

Portable charger, some snacks, and probably their usual school stuff that they forgot to take out.

The only part of this episode I really cared about was that bit with Koyomi at the beginning. It didn't exactly go anywhere, but it was still a nice moment with him and his struggling emotions.

Hey, maybe that's it! Both of them are actually swamped with schoolwork at all times and they always carry those backpacks around because they're constantly chipping away at it offscreen.

So in keeping with the theme of the characters being designed to look like actual suits, this week’s Kaiju is designed to look like whoever drew it didn’t consider a) the available materials to realise it and b) that someone would have to wear it, given the arms are too small for human arms to fit in. In real life, it was an amalgam of several things that the director hater, all blended together to try and create something cute. Its name Zaiohn derives from Robert Zanjonc, the psychologist who discovered the “mere exposure effect”, which is where someone comes up with an incorrect opinion of something just by looking at it.

And this episode’s other big thing is the Dynamic Cannon, DynaSoldier’s alternate mode. It’s a homage to the Dragon Cannon, the alternate transformation of Gridman’s DynaFighter, which was supposed to be a regular mid-season upgrade for Gridman (and a final form weapon for his combination with King Jet), but the prop proved too bulky to see more uses than its debut (meaning the only role DynaFighter played in the rest of the show was he head of DynaDragon). Obviously, being an anime, they’re not bound by those limitations.
