An experimental reactor in an Ultra show? Those never end well. And using a Sphere carcass? We've seen this work out terribly a dozen times.

Oh hey, Kanata and Hanejiro with the recap guys! That looks fun!

Living symbiotically with the Sphere? That's just one-step away from the old Sphere plan of consuming humanity into their "perfect" hive mind.

It's almost comical how that guy was so certain of their perfect science and safety, tried to raise the level of the experiment too high and too soon, and then completely crumbled when things inevitably went bad from his own hubris.

Sphere-Geomos! Not even just normal Geomos! Just straight up a Sphere Geomos! And he's as terrifying as ever!

That's definitely one of the messier Nursedessei crashes. Actually, how many times has it crashed at this point? Although we did get to see them actually pick it up from the ground.

"Enough with the technobabble!" Kanata talking for the audience.

I get it's part of their plan, but the Sphere constantly reuses Spheresaurus just amuses me. Like, they're just so proud of that Kaiju!

Ryumon getting to actually pilot! That's neat!

Agams just casually handing Kanata ammo and Kanata taking was hilarious. Agams is all like "I didn't even do this, you guys brought this on yourselves. Classic human! Oh, did I mention how you destroyed my planet yet?"

I knew they were going to do something with Spheresaurus because they hardly ever leave Kaiju as corpses anymore.

The moment they mentioned that they were bringing in the Spheresaurus from the "Future Universe" I had a feeling they might be bringing a certain someone with them...and then the explosion shifts into a familiar Rise Sequence and Battle Theme. Woah Woah DYNAAAAAA!!!!!

I want to see Asuka's reaction when he saw Terraphaser. Like I could totally see him thinking "not you again!"

Decker and Dyna finally fight together! I guess we've had Trigger and Decker do the same form combos so they just straight up had Dyna use Strong (with a new transformation sequence!) and Decker Dynamic. But man was it awesome seeing them fight together!

Wait, how did Kanata know who Dyna was? Decker never mentioned the name of the Ultraman from the future if I remember right.

It's interesting that they had Flash Type use Strong Type's baseball throw finisher. Also a point blank Ultra Beam!

Dyna just casually handing out Dyna and Tiga cards.

So...Dyna was only an in-suit appearance, no Asuka. I mean, I think those were new Tsuruno grunts, but still. I guess that's consistent with Tiga in Trigger even if it's a little disappointing. I know they don't want Asuka to hijack the show or anything, but dang it I want to see Asuka! But I guess he'd give out all the exposition Agams would next episode. I still hope we can see him again.

(Also I guess this means we'll probably just see Gaia and Agul as in-suit guest appearances next year)

"The future isn't decided" is such an Asuka thing to say even if we didn't get to hear him say it.

They just had to leave off on the double thumbs up!

Bbbbbbbbaka mono ga!!! Nippon no kagaku wa sekai ichi!!

It's a very simple premise, you can see it going wrong in the first sentence of the preview. But the action really shines in these kinds of episodes. And Agams casually handing Kanata ammo was amusing.

I always enjoy seeing the attack teams make plans to defeat the Kaiju and seeing how they recovered from their failed first attempt was nice. Also, some other TPU members participate is something I love seeing in an attack team, so it's not just the core cast members.

Dyna even having faithful recreations of his animations (saying as someone who hasn't watched Dyna) to the point they make the effects no different from the 90s is really cool to see. And his fight alongside Decker, while expected and not the most mind-blowing thing ever, is still fun to watch all the same, but the thumbs up at the very end was truly what made it special.

Next Episode: Showdown with Agams! The truth/future revealed!

When was the last time we saw Dyna's Miracle Type Suit? I only ask because I wonder if they don't have a workable Miracle Type suit like they do Strong Type.

If this article is any indication, they do seem to have a working Miracle Suit

Edit: there was also this recent Bromide set, which does indicate they have a working suit

Tsuburaya?s still trying to get to the Chinese market, and Tsuruno?s a very controversial figure there for speaking out against their government. I heard most Fansubs of Zenkaiger in China even cut the OP for the same reason.

A second Ultraman Regulos miniseries is coming next year.

Blog post says it's going to be a 1 episode special

[Kurona]

Wait, this is a second one? Before we've even gotten so much as a release date for the first??

Well... cool, I guess, more stuff; neat to see all the 'foreign' Ultras together

Is this set after The Destined Crossroad? Considering Ribut is there.

Nothing sets up Agams' loss quite as much as seeing him with his beautiful wife and their adorable dog together, Agams so confident Decker and the Bazdo Defense Force would keep them safe and fend off the Sphere so they could go to Earth...and then suddenly the Sphere show up and take everything from him. Jeez.

Oh yeah, I guess Terraphaser being part Sphere actually better explains why all the monsters kept coming after it. They were reacting to the Sphere element.

What would Agams have said about Kanata? That wasn't basically "Well...he's Ultraman Decker." Also, that slight at not mentioning Hanejiro! He's a valuable member of GUTS-Select! You helped make him!

So basically Planet Bazdo got roped into fighting Earths' war against the Sphere because Earth remnants landed on Planet Bazdo and Agams vouched for them. And Bazdo paid the price. Now he's trying to change the future so that never happens. Makes sense.

Decker and Dyna! Together again, in the future! We finally get double Miracle Type! Still no backstory on Asuka.

Here's Chandlar! And....he's gone. Didn't even get to fight Decker!

Agams is a humanoid-sphere hybrid now? Wow. Almost half expect him to go full Kaiju at this point. He even considers becoming the host for the Mother Sphere, it seems.

Kanata has come so far that now he's basically the strong emotional balance between Ichika and Ryumon! And if they stop the Sphere here and now...maybe they can save Planet Bazdo in the future?

It seems like the Sphere part is eating away at Agams' humanity until he's got nothing left but his memories of Laelia. That's what his mantra is for.

Decker's final battle with Terraphaser! I love how a lot of the fight was just a straight up brawl with them throwing hands. We even got some symbolic Kanata vs Agams during it.

Decker, you're supposed to aim for the cannon! Although I guess they were going for a beam cross counter type deal. But jeez, what a crater! And they kept fighting in it!

Well, Ryumon saw Kanata de-transform, so there's no going back from that. But now Agams has amnesia? Is anyone buying that? Although it's probably a long-con one way or another to complete the Sphere's plan, which will come to fruition next week as we head into the final arc.
