Something I find odd is that almost none of the characters seem to really... care about the kaijus attacking. Except maybe Yume and Yomogi and even then the latter is still nonchalant about it or are more so mildly annoyed that the kaiju attack made the school late at announcements or something. Maybe they'll explain it, maybe they won't. I don't hate it, I don't like it, I just find it odd. Same goes for Mujina and the other guy with the "Can we leave after this?". Like, you guys are the villains, right?
But I have to give praise again to the same thing they did last episode, in that they didn't take long with Gauma explaining stuff. It wasn't prolonged for the sake of infighting and character drama, well it did for a bit, but Gauma was able to explain anyway putting it out of the way. Also, I like to believe the Kaiju Euginists(?) aren't the main baddies. For long, anyway. I imagine the thing with Chise or some other bad guy will show up. Lastly, I like the direction of the show is going. I think it's gonna be dependent on people's preferences, but I like how the show is kind of trying to be like actual tokusatsu where characters are talking normally instead of taking on le anime tropes, there's little to no music, there's some kind of ""awkward??"" or relaxing atmosphere to me whenever the characters are just talking to each other. It kind of feels like you just happened by onto some conversation and is just watching it intimately. I mean, that's how I feel, I guess. Not sure for others. |
calling it now:
Yume betrays the others to try & get her sister back; Chise gets the Dynawing in her place. There's FIVE main characters but Dyna only has four components. For some reason the producers decided "we need a spare..." |
I'd agree but given the opening and the fact that she finds one of those beads in like episode two... I feel like Chise has more going on with her than just being a simple "spare"

What a great episode, just keeps getting better and better! Also, I have to clear up something I said last week about the character named Juuga, who I mixed up with the redhead, I forgot their names and mixed them up, so sorry about that. I'll stand by what I said about him being like an evil Kamina, I really enjoyed watching him, not sure why, probably because I like crazy villains like that.
Speaking of Kamina, Gauma basically used Gurren Lagann logic for combing, "Our hearts as one!" made my day, love that guy, he even got a job! The characters have been taking steps every episode, from their Dynazenon training, to building up their bonds, and learning more about the bizarre circumstances occurring, and it's been nice to watch. I didn't expect the Kaiju Euginists to be villains based on the trailers, I thought they were like the previous owners of Dynazenon, and seeing this episode, I wonder if they're not the true villains. After all, there's that one scene in the opening with Chise, though that may just be misleading. Also, fun little easter egg, 721, which appeared in SSSS Gridman, which might be a reference to Ultraseven 21. Quote:

Would like to add the creators stated that the midair manuever Dynazenon does is a nod to Ultraman Taro and his Swallow Kick.

Oh you know also, what's with Episode 3's of SSSS shows and our heroes doing really cool grab maneuvers?
Like Max Gridman landing on Anti's back while grounding himself and using the boosters on his massive arms to pick Anti up and plant him into the ground. And then Dynazenon just grabs the Kaiju with it's legs and throws itself forward, does a handstand and just flings the Kaiju away. |
Caught up to episode 2.
Like what Reiei mentioned, it's interesting to see how oddly "chill" the everyone is about the sudden appearance of the Kaiju and the damage being caused during the battles. I assume it might be because the show's "other shoe" hasn't dropped yet, and there's possibly something going on that the characters already know about but we as the audience don't. Although, this idea mostly stems from the fact that every time a character says "Kaiju" it's in italics rather than just a simple capitalization. Other than that, I didn't see anyone else mention this, but I found it interesting that all the protags aside from Gauma have someone either dead/gone from their life: Yume's sister died. Yomogi's dad is straight up never talked about. Koyomi and Chise briefly talk about there being a memorial they apparently need to attend next week (in episode 1). Admittedly, this is rather basic level analysis, especially when the very premise for this show's SSSS is "Scarred Souls Shine like Stars", but it still felt important to point out. |

But Yume definitely will pick up on the whole resurrection thing; I also expect that there will be an episode in the future were she goes crazy over the idea which causes tension between the team. Quote:

A theory a friend and I have is that Yume's sister may have died in a prior kaiju attack during the events of SSSS.Gridman.
Mainly because we don't know how she died (afaik so far) and the subtle reuse of certain backdrops and scenes from Gridman most likely signifying that this is the computer world still, just after the events of the first series. Not to mention how Yume seems to act when encountering kaiju and looking over the wreckage their battles leave behind. It's not overt, but things like her prolonged silence at the end of their first battle and how she looks over the destroyed buildings and such in episode 2 makes you think... |
