Honestly what I appreciated most about this episode was seeing Taro and Ace tagteam fight for a while before Seven jumped in. Given well, you know their relation, it's really cool to see.
But yeah it's clear that the second chapter was a"Set Up" phase for the Absolute Conspiracy so it was really lacking in regards to punch compared to the previous chapter. |

Got caught up on Absolute Conspiracy and, to be honest, I didn't like the last few episodes as much as the earlier ones. The action has been good and the story is still interesting, but I'm still feeling a bit cold on them. One of the big appeals of this series was getting to see all the obscure, lesser-used Ultras but these last few episodes have just been more Taro, more Zero, more Ultra Brothers, and more freaking Belial (the Zachary Quinto of Ultraman). Hopefully this next story we're moving into will get back to dredging up the more obscure heroes again.

Not to mention there's no clue if they'll pull out sudden out of nowhere appearances like they did with Xenon and Legend, since those two weren't in trailers from what I recall.
Also I don't mind heroes like Grigio getting focus, since I'm like all for that, especially since she's not being paired up with her brothers like last time. Should make for some cool stuff. Not to mention more Original Flavor Z is always welcome. |

I have no legitimate answers for any of those questions.
What I will say is Gomora did nothing wrong. |

Watched all of original Ultraman. I don't want to be too harsh on it since it's the first of its kind so naturally it had a rough start and took a while till it found its footing, but I still have some issues with it:
One of the issues I had with and I already talked about it is about Ultraman himself. Until way later in the series he was more like a plot device that wasn't needed until the plot demands it. Wish there was more between him and Hayata to remind us he's a character. Though from what happens in the final episode, I want to say Hayata was Ultraman all along. It wasn't 2 personas in 1 body, Hayata was already dead and Ultraman took his body and memories and assumed Hayata's role, though it creates a plothole for the times when they separate. Also, if Ultraman could just have a conversation between him and Mefilas, why didn't he try this with all the aliens he went against? Instead, he just fought them and escalated the fight before any negotiations were set. The morality of the SSSP falls into question in some episodes, as they act aggressively against monsters who aren't hurting anybody and they attack them first before the monsters do anything. The Woo, Seabozu and the Gomora episodes are good examples of this. === Now for favorite/best episode, The Mefilas episode "The Forbidden Words" had to be it. Everything about it was great. The characters, the villain and the action (save for that moment when they leave Hayata who was standing right in front of them). Second best episode I'd give to "A Little Hero". Got some great character development and another excellent fight and answers the question of why the SSSP bothers to fight when Ultraman could do job for them. Also Pygmon is the MVP. Episodes "The Monster Highness" 1 & 2, "The Monster Graveyard" and "Farewell, Ultraman" I'm going to put them as the "disappointing" episodes. They had great premise, but the execution did not live up to the hype surrounding them. Worst episode? Easy one: "A Gift From The Sky". "The Pearl Defense Directive" comes close second. |

The idea of Belial Early Style being used for Geed's ""base"" form - the one you see briefly after he Fusion Rises and before two Ultras merge into him - is an idea I'm generally kind of okay with given the circumstances of his existence, but one thing has always bothered me about it: the eyes. Geed's eyes (and almost entire face) are not just a consistent throughout all his forms implying it's something he would have on a 'base' level like what was eventually revealed for Orb's face through Origin, but on a thematic level it's just something extremely important to his character. It's in the OP, it's used stylistically for so many shots, multiple characters comment on it being the thing that makes him look like Belial, it's a direct inversion of Belial's eyes. So him just having very standard Ultraman eyes inherited from Belial Early Style is... it bothers me? A lot? You just don't do a Geed form without those eyes!
So that's why I went onto paint.net and made this in like four minutes. I actually think it looks kinda decent all things considered!
