The whole stretch leading up to Orb Origin's introduction is *SUCH* an utterly fantastic arc. I still get goosebumps just thinking about the payoff to that early series conversation where Naomi compares Gai to those nesting dolls, and that's merely one of the things I adore about those episodes. I could pick so many random amazing things out of them. Just some seriously compelling, character-centric drama any way you look at it. Orb is a real good show.

Orb lives up to the hype. My only real complaints are not having the Ultra be a separate character and the subplot of all the aliens leaving Earth not being well developed or important IMO.

You do not like Ultra and Human as a same person?

For me it definitely depends on the series; and in the cases of Orb and Geed it absolutely works

Now that old Ultraman comic... yeah nope. There's a certain magic to transformation sequences, and it didn't have any, so he's not that different from guys like Iron Man.

This is why I think starting with Z spoiled me on this concept. I loved the relationship between Z and Haruki that when I started my Ultraman bingewatch I was let down that it wasn't always a thing and they blurred the line between the Ultras and their hosts becoming one single character instead of two sharing one body.

Pre-New Generation, I prefer it when the human form is also the Ultra because you get to know them more as a character. Ultras like Nexus or Man-nii-san feel more like blank slates than Seven or Leo.

Say what you will about Fusion Ultras, but they had some of the best seasons.
I think both interpretations for Ultra/human relationships are good, depending on how they're done. Thinking back on like the Original Ultraman, there was a certain element of mystery about him and what he thinks about humanity, which just makes the final episode something special. |
