Time to wrangle a baby Pandon!

I don't know what was better comedy, the trio getting captured by their own nets or the old lady just sipping her tea like an utter mood while all this hijinks is going on in front of her.

Dynamic Type is now in the OP!

GUTS-Select is still reeling from what happened with Agam. To have a comrade turn traitor...Hanejiro is still being repaired...and the weight of what he now has to wrestle with has made Kanata far more serious and like a completely different character.

Spinnie is all cute and playful up until it starts spitting out fire.

A Kaiju and a human can share the same kind of hate-fueled intensity? I guess that's something for two races to bond over, in it's own way.

Ryumon does not have time to coddle Kanata through his current emotional crisis, but when push comes to shove (and he's left with no other option) he lets Kanata know that Kanata can rely on him and his comrades, in his own back-handed stoic way.

So I guess baby Pandon's just naturally grow the second head...?

You can't keep a good Hanejiro down!

So are they not going to ask how Decker showed up exactly where Kanata was when Pandon threw the rock? Are they just assuming Decker was traveling underground and popped up at the exact right time to save Kanata?

Decker Dynamic rocking that sword and shield combo! And we get the Dyanmic Strong Finisher to defeat Pandon!

Ha, now Ryumon's doing the thumbs up!

Murahoshi is under investgation by internal affairs!? And interrogated by Marluru (or another Alien Metron? He looks more "normal" than Marluru does). And it's related to Hudram!?

To toss my hat in the nostalgia ring, I really enjoy the cast of the original Ultraman, which yes, Ide and Arashi are absolutely some of my favorites. For Hayata, I like to see it as the "mild-mannered, often quiet member is the secret identity kind of thing" which I think works, and some of Hayata's personality does reflect off Ultraman.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Those were all truly delightful moments, but the fact that the trio netting each other also transitioned to the Opening made it perfect.

A fun episode full of shenanigans and Kanata going through an existential crisis, but quite not in the way I was expecting, which was nice. And as usual, the action was amazing, from the GUTS Griphon save (welcome back, Hanejiro!) to some of the amazing shots with Pandon, like when the trio used formation delta when it became big, or the stand-off between Decker.

Next Episode: Celebrating some Ultraseven with a Metron and two of my favorite Ultra Kaiju!

Waaaaa catching up time. Episode 15 was fantastic. I loved the way the back-story for Decker explains how some of the stuff in the present works. I wasn't expecting them to reference Other Yuzare from the Trigger episodes! Dyna was there as well apparently!

Dynamic being Kanata's version of Decker is a cool way of introducing a "final form". It's a shame he doesn't just use that all the time, but I get it. It also looks slick as hell. I kind of hope we get a Double Decker team-up at some point.

Overall, just a goddamn great 2-parter.

Episode 16 is a goofier story to give us a breather after the last couple of episodes but it's still very good. GUTS-Select all running around with Butterfly nets trying to catch baby Pandon is silly but I like it. Not all sunshine though with Kanata having some existential angst and the Commander being investigated by Internal Affairs... over something that happened during Trigger???

Zearth and Neos DVDs

Every time it try to quit Decker, it lasts only a few weeks before I watch these guest spots (thankfully, the recap video tells me I’ve missed next to nothing beyond the Terraphaser/Agams plot, and that’s way too thoroughly stupid for me to want to watch it)

(Before anyone suggests that this is for episodes 7/8, bear in mind me that a) you can see the Decker Dynamic card in the D Flasher (it’s the only card with a gold back) and b) Raif’s tweeted that he was coming back and got harassed by English speaking fans.

You could just watch the episodes he appears in. If Decker isn't for you, there's no reason to force yourself to watch it

Erm, I am. That was the main content of the post.

Oh, I see. I misunderstood what you were saying
