I'm sure that'll go very well for them!

Mars has...seen better days. Although it's kind of fun seeing the old team as a ragtag resistance.
Of course Kengo would return singing the church of Smile Smile and taking care of flowers to a child. Yuzare 2.0? Yuzare with a bob cut!? It was nice seeing Akito and Captain Tatsumi again. I wonder if we'll get a full Guts-Select team crossover. And Akito even figured out a way around the Sphere! Say what you will about Trigger...it was pretty epic seeing Kengo transform again and wreck a bunch of Sphere. Yuna's been on Earth the entire time!? And Akito is still carrying a torch? Traveling through Space in Sky Type! He even saves Decker that way! They're really not holding back on showing how powerful Trigger is now. Kengo and Kanata finally meet! And exchange catchphrases! It's cute how Kanata is already treating Kengo as a Senpai, both in terms of Guts-SELECT and as an Ultraman. I love how Ryumon is too smart for his own good and everyone was so disappointed they didn't have a connection to Mars. It's nice to see Kanata and Kengo getting along as Ultra Hosts do and Kengo imparting some of the lessons he learned from other Ultras...like the Ribut dance! Kengo still regrets how things ended with Carmeara...good thing she's finally been revived! Even if that means destruction for Japan. Dual Transformation! Dual Rise Sequence! Speaking of which, the Dual Sword! Move over Circle Arms! Also some nice tag-teaming between Decker and Trigger. "Manaka Kengo!" We were all waiting for that one! |

It's always cute how two Ultraman hosts bond and nerd out with each other.
We got to see some of the previous GUTS Select Crew on Mars (happy to see Mars again, albeit brief) and some context on what's going on outside the barrier. I was a little worried about how they were going to bring back Megalathor, but then I remembered the Sphere, and all my worries were washed away. Heck, it's almost like they planned its return! "Yuzare" gives Kengo some brand new toys and sends him to Earth, and also appears him being Trigger is common knowledge on Mars, but Yuna's still on Earth? I haven't seen Episode Z yet, so please no spoilers. But anyway, it seems as though Trigger can't break the barrier either. I love how Kengo and Asumi are practically perfect for each other, both of them are such lovable dorks, and Kengo trying to explain how he made it to Earth with Asumi being a wingman is such a delightfully stupid moment. But what's even more fun, is that we get to see Trigger and Decker in action, with an amazing dual transformation and rise, along with the new sword, which I'm looking forward to seeing more of. Next Episode: Remember when people were speculating something bad was going to happen with Kengo's Plant?

Let's go international subbed stage show. I hope this can lead to more Stage Show content being delivered cause there some really good stuff in there.

"MANAKA KENGO" I missed her.
This was a really good first half of a teamup. I hope the second half does it justice! |

This was really fun. I know that the show's not being direct sequels to each other before has never stopped a crossover, but Decker being a continuation of Trigger's universe really did add a lot to this episode. Little things like Kengo recognizing his old room or the new characters knowing the old ones was a nice touch and it gave the show more to work with than "I am also an Ultraman back home." I also appreciate how Kengo is really kind of useless as a mentor. Because of course he would be.
Good action in the episode, too. Absolutely loved the double rise and how Decker and Trigger worked together. |

personally?
not a fan of Kengo being both quiet, mourning but courageous hero and "Smile smile!" feels... like two different characters?

Did Kengo care about making Hudram smile? I don't recall that ever coming up, and Hudram was as bad as Carmeara. Then again, Hudrama smiled at maybe the worst things...
Ooh! We're getting more into Kanata's motivations! Nice! New Gen Gijera!? Why are we doing a Tiga tribute in New Gen Dyna? I mean, I know it's a Trigger crossover but...except now, it's Gijeran! And it can control people to protect it from harm! Everybody playing excited customers at Kanata's store was hilarious. Even Hanejiro was there! Just when you think R'lyeh has gone evil, it's more of just a coincidence because of Ultra Ancient memories and the usual craziness of Trigger. Yuna looks good in that suit, scarf, and braided hair! I like serious Yuna! But of course she can't help herself when she's alone with Kengo and they're back to being really cute together. It's nice getting to see them reconnect and talk about Akito. Just like Tiga and Dyna's crossover, it wouldn't be right unless the old GUTS-Select dusted off their old uniforms for one last mission! "This happens all the time." Won't that make them more suspicious, Yuna? I loved their reaction to her going full Yuzare. Sky Type and Miracle Type! So...we're just freeing Carmeara then? Even after everything she did? Like, I'm not against it, but when did that seem like the most ideal solution to everybody but Kengo? Oh well, "Wake Up Decker" playing during Miracle Type and Yuzare's combo to bring her back was pretty epic. I guess...Carmeara is a good guy now? It seems like death has given her a new lease on life and made her realize that maybe the light isn't so bad after all, which was what broke her and Trigger up. I guess they're quasi-back together now? Maybe? It's got to be weird for Carmeara to basically be fighting herself. All three teaming-up and them finally playing "Pull the Trigger" was pretty epic, especially when Glitter Trigger finally showed up, especially the triple Ultra Beam at the end. Kengo can't answer Kanata's existential questions, but he can give him the latest merchandisable weapon and some new cards to help him continue his quest to find his own answers before he heads back to Mars. It would've been a shame to bring back Carmeara and not Darrgon or Hudram either, but it looks like she has their cores so they're coming back too! UG4 characters, anyone? We didn't get to see Trigger and Decker fly off into the sky together, but we did get Trigger and Carmeara flying off, so there's that. Next week...Alien Gregore fight and Sphere Red King! |

Bit rushed, but I liked it.
It's got some nice development for Kengo and let us see Yuna again, which was nice. Some explanation for R'yleth, and Kengo's regrets about Carmearra (still not sure how to write that one, but if the subs say so, then it must be so), and Asumi getting baited by the flower and having a weird fever dream. But the main highlight is obviously the fight! We got Trigger, Decker, and a surprise appearance from Carmearra! A glorious triple team fight! Again, it's rather rushed, but what it shows off is still nice. Carmearra remembering her final moments with Kengo, then joining forces with them to defeat Sphere Megalothor, all good. She even takes Dargon and Hudram with her as she leaves with Trigger, who gives Asumi a brand-new toy (still not a big fan of the voice)! Next Episode: Sumo Boy flashbacks. Sphere Red King looks amazing!
