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... All we know about her death so far is that when Yume was in elementary school, her sister accidentally died on the Flood Gate we see Yume standing on in ep 1. There's also this importance on September 21st, as the day was marked as "Recital" on the calendar in her sister's room, and we hear her invite Yume to come. But none of this information actually contradicts your theory. |

I will say I saw some comparisons of the various re-used shots we've seen so far in Dynazenon from Gridman. And a lot of people noticed the lighting is different, whether that just means they improved upon them to make em just a bit different, or if that means we aren't in computer world this time... who's to say. We'll just have to keep watching.
Something I sorta realized we've yet to really mention at least I don't think we've mentioned it yet. Kanae the "life of the chorus club" as it were. If you mix the letters around what do you get? Akane. |

They could obviously have SSSS. Dynazenon be set in the same computer world as SSSS. Gridman, but I think that would be kind of lame.
If anything I would expect that this time it's actually set in the real world and we will meet older versions of the OG Gridman cast. Like, when Trigger first made their Gridman tribute short which kickstarted this whole thing it starred a redeemed Takeshi (the human bad guy from Gridman) in his adult years, and when the real world is attacked by giant monsters he transforms into Gridman Sigma to fight them. Gridman Sigma is the younger brother of Gridman, and was featured in a novel, but the concept behind him came from an unused idea for Gridman's last batch of episodes were Takeshi would become an evil clone of Gridman, called "Kahn Knight" before being redeemed and adopting the alias of Grid Knight. Now, Grid Knight we already got in anime form, but while he is an evil clone of Gridman (sort of), Takeshi is not involved. So I kind of feel like that when this show progresses, both a Kahn Digifier / Alex Kerib villain might come forward and Takeshi will back up Dynazenon as Gridman Sigma. |

Interesting theories going on here, as much as I hate to debunk them, I don't think they'll happen. Since when they first announced Dynazenon, they said it was not a season 2 or sequel to SSSS Gridman, so I kind of doubt they'll bring in any of those characters. If anything, this might be the "same" computer world, since Gridman Universe is in the title.
But the original Gridman might be an exception, given how much this series likes to call back to it. |

Well yeah, it's not a second season or sequel to SSSS.Gridman, but it being labeled as being in the Gridman universe doesn't mean it can't use moments or characters from it.
That story is done, but those characters can still appear in some for whether it'd be a one-off cameo or as a supporting role or what have you. As for which world this takes place in, you can make just as much an argument for it being in the real world as you can the virtual. The reused backdrops could be a reference to locations Akane recreated in the virtual world herself and the places we see here are the real locations. The Kanae dying in a kaiju attack theory can fit as well if they're rolling their Gridman tribute short into this canon and Takeshi does exist as Gridman Sigma, in which case a battle between him and a kaiju could have caused Kanae's death at the floodgate. Plus the fact that Gauma is most likely a reborn mummy from the OG series would also fit that unless they come up with some explanation about him and the eugenicists being "reborn" into the virtual world. Who knows really. All depends on where the story goes, but it's fun to theorize based on how the last series utilized its setting and history.

Yomogi going back-to-basics with Dyna Soldier training, but the one thing that can mess with a guys focus is knowing your crush isn't there to watch. Well, that and a cold .
Yume is learning that her sister was actually pretty cheerful, just serious and earnest when it came to choir, and now she's off to find a guy with video of the choir and her sister. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised Yomogi assumed she was meeting guy having been there when she asked about her sister, but I guess when you like someone that's just where your mind goes . Ha! Yomogi's boss got him to admit he might like Yume. And she's also asking Koyomi out. Kind of curious what her deal is . I can't believe one of the Kaiju Eugenecists pulled an exchange student gag to get in with the kids, but I guess this is what happens when you use your Mecha for mundane stuff like going to school :uhoh:. So the Kaiju Eugenecists don't create Kaiju, they are naturally born from the unsaid will of the people, they just control them and try to create a world where Kaiju are needed...but how is that obtained with all the death and destruction :? Gauma may have jumped the gun and attacked Sizumu, losing his job, but he's still a pretty solid wingman for Yomogi, asking Yume to check up on him . Chise's been ready to take over as a back up pilot this whole time, to the point of jumping in Dyna Striker waiting for the opportunity, and finally gets a chance when they need someone else to take over. Although being great with video games doesn't instantly make you a master of piloting a Mecha as she kind of fumbles around (although at least she can move, which Yomogi couldn't). I wonder if she'll still be the backup for Dyna Soldier moving forward? How serious was that? Good thing Koyomi was there to save his cousin though :eyespin:. So miss thighs-and-butt of the Eugenecists is named Mujina, huh? Good to know. Her Kaiju having dimension-splitting powers was cool, even if it couldn't handle the overwhelming power of Dynazenon I don't know what was more hilarious, Yomogi coughing through the epic Dynazenon combining lines or Yume doing "something beam" because she doesn't know the name of the attacks like Gauma does. So the redhead Eugenecist is the one who seems most fervently into destroying Dynazenon, to the point of backseat Kaiju piloting, and the one who keeps nearly dying. Well, good news is Yomogi threw it out there that he wants to help Yume on her quest to learn more about her sister, so he can better get to know her in the process. Bad news...he got her sick. All that talk and it's finally Yume who catches it. |

Not much to say other than. Remember Kids: Don't go around everywhere if you have a cold, especially if you pilot a mecha. Cause otherwise your teammates might catch it.
Will say I enjoy how chill and mundane the Kaiju Eugenecists are, they're just waltzing around, chilling and casually waiting for their next Kaiju to take over. Well... most of them anyway. Onija looks like he's ready to go at all times of the day from how pumped he is compared to the rest of them. |

A rather enjoyable episode this week, which kind of reminds me of a typical Tokusatsu episode you get every once in a while, so props to Trigger.
I love how the Kaiju Eugenicists don't go out of their way to be evil, as if you could have a show with them as the main characters and it would just fit, because they seem to live normal lives like our heroes, which is a really nice detail. Looks like Chise has the potential to be a pilot, probably because she was present during Dynazenon's first appearance, either that, there's what we've all been speculating that there might be more to her than meets the eye. And this weeks' Kaiju reminds me of Gavadon from the original Ultraman, which was a lot of fun. Really loving how they've been doing these series. Now if only there was a cheaper way to get a Dynazenon figure... |
