Yeah that fight was strange. Ultraman was rater brutal in this one, it had a weird comical undertone and in the end they tried to play it sad and suddenly Ultraman was super respectful and covered Jirahs with its frill, you know, the one that he himself mercilessly ripped off earlier, like it was a shroud.

The Jirahs episode was definitely the one that seemed the most needlessly cruel to me and prompted me to ask in the first place. After a certain point I felt like I was watching Ultraman kick a dog.

And it’s weird because later on they did this:
I know a show evolves as time passes but it is astonishing how much they cared for this giant dinosaur skeleton baby from space. |

That episode is easily one of the major highlights of the original Ultraman series. That poor kaiju….

It was a point in which the show started to reflect on its own history and really start to think about itself. When you have an episode in which the Team that destroys Kaiju hold a funeral for them, then you have to think about this team differently and about yourself differently. It's not all about weird sci-fi mysteries and epic battles between giant lifeforms! As to the franchise, it would become more contextualized in its approach to Kaiju while still riffing on the concepts put forth in the OG Ultraman. Cosmos and X are definite high points toward the idea of peace toward Kaiju and an understanding as to why Kaiju do what they do. Kinda makes you wonder why they fight alongside other defense teams who just want to blow something or someone up! The Orb Origin Saga also tackled the idea of peace instead of war. Many Ultra Series try to strike some kind of balance between peace and war, but I think Orb Origin took a more unique and serious approach. |

Of course we learn that not all monsters are the same. You have monsters that can be reasoned with and if they get what they want without hurting anyone then they go free alive and a lot of the conflict is usually by a misunderstanding from one or two sides and this will show a lot in later installments.
Other monsters are big animals that don't intent on hurting anyone but their existence on itself endangers everything around them and if there's no pacifist alternate then Ultraman and his team have no other option other than to terminate them. Then you have monster that were victims of certain circumstances where they were results of mad experiments or horrific mutations that depending on the situation could or could not be reasoned with. But they're mostly killed to end their suffering when nothing could be done to save them. And lastly evil monsters that are irredeemably evil who love to cause pain and suffering to anything they see, be it someone like Red King or Geronimo who are evil on their own free will or space monsters sent by aliens to conquer and destroy other planets and those are the type they choose to kill when all negotiations fail. |

Leaked toy trademarks indicate that we’re going full on with the Neo-Odyssey schtick, with the next Ultra being Ultraman Kaia

Oh. Then you probably won’t be happy to hear they’re calling his base form “Normal Type” rather than “V1”
