The lifeguard at the water park in this weeks' episode is voiced by Masaya Obi, the actor who portrayed Naoto in the original Gridman series.

Then there's Koyomi who I'm rather worried about honestly. I can't imagine what Yomogi's co-worker "showed" him back then, but it does appear she had issues. I mean, you don’t really smash windows out of boredom. And her current state - I feel like she isn't even married anymore, or at the stage in her relationship were she knows a divorce would be the better option but can't bring herself to do it. And I don’t know how Koyomi plays into this, he obviously had feelings for her but I’m afraid he was and is about to once again be used as an emotional punching-bag. A toy for someone who is broken.

My only gripe is that Dyna Rex is once again only brought out for seconds and only allowed to land the finishing blow. I want more action scenes with this form but I'm certain we will get them.

Yeah, this was perhaps one of my favorite moments in this episode.
Also, I'm guessing Chise's hiding something in her glove. You can see in some scenes with Gauma where he as burns and scars on him, so it wouldn't surprise me if she has something underneath that could lead to something big. And wait... You're telling me the original Gridman protagonist was in this episode AND somewhere in SSSS Gridman!? Dang, that is neat. |

So it turns out Kano was dating the popular vice-president of the choir, and she may have been bullied for it, but she put on a brave and cheerful face against the bullying. Is that why she committed suicide?
There's dissension among the Kaiju Eugenisists. Gunja wants to negotiate with Gauma, Onija wants to destroy them all, Mujina doesn't really care (at least until the end when she gets as enthusiastic about fighting as Onija), and Sizumu wants to just carry forward as is and keep releasing Kaiju. Chise sure talks like she knows how it is with bullying... Just when Koyomi thinks something might come of his interaction with Yomogi's boss...she brings her husband over. And he gets Koyomi's name wrong. And he looked kind of like Tony Stark. Is this what Koyomi gets for running away when she showed him a potential love nest when they were classmates? But then by fate he runs into Mujina in the rain and ends up dining with her, complete with her thighs crossed while she classily sips wine. And it turns out they're not that different in terms of not having much that is driving them. Could something come from this between the two of them? Or was that broken when Mujina stole Dyna Striker and got really into destroying Dynazenon at the end? That prank video was rough. Both for how realistic it is and for how you can just see how her female classmates were treating Kano and then acting like it was all in fun. Poor girl. Yume was jealous of Yomogi's female friends being close with him? Is that why she acted so cold to him? Well, Koyomi got to tackle and get kicked by Mujina. That's not too bad. Nothing shows a team dynamic is thrown off quite like not getting the combination phrase in synch. The team's emotional problems finally get in the way of them saving the day. And just when it seems like the end of Dynazenon...Wait, is that...Gridman!? No, is that Gridknight? Is that Anti!? |

Okay this episode was pretty great as always, like a good continuing build on issues and stuff already present. I was surprised like for the climax fight, how much just got ramped up from 0 to 100 in like 2 seconds after the Kaiju grew. Like holy shit was that a lot of destructive power.
But it's hard to get any coherent thoughts out because HOLY. HELL. Those last 25 to 30 seconds of the episode! I literally just yelled and cheered as I saw that happen! Edit: I keep replaying those last 30 seconds constantly because yes. Last edited by Enchilada645; 05-07-2021 at 11:17 AM.. |

As we come up on the halfway point to the series, I wondered when we'd get a connection to Gridman. This episode felt like it played out very fast, or maybe I was just excited to move the story along. Next episode should be a doosey!

Wait we are already halfway? Man, it's really going fast. I like the scenes with Yume, and Chise brings up a point about it, too. If it's bullying, there won't be much evidence of said bullying, except for the aftermath condition of the victim. So, it makes it really hard if that victim is already dead. Let's just say I have a family member in a similar spot where Yume's sister was, minus the suicide part.
But, it is odd that it'd be Chise to talk about it. Would she know something about it? Perhaps being bullied herself? And ah, Koyomi, maaaaan. He gotta get a grip. And maybe get with Mujina, heh. But I guess his whole schtick is some sort of fear of commitment? No job, no girlfriend, no career, and pretty much stays in all day unless it's practicing or fighting in Dyna Striker. The scene at the diner or restaurant where it just skips and Koyomi not doing anything, stirs me up a bit. i know what it feels lol it hurt deep Wish we got more scenes with Mujina and Koyomi, though. That was good with what little, and nice to see Mujina puttin her foot down and be more active. She sounds like a typical MOTW now. I was not huge on Anti becoming Gridknight, I prefer his kaiju form still, but when he came down and it took me half a second to notice it's Anti, I went " OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIIITTTT!!!" I should pick up his Figma... But this does raise two questions I have. 1. Does this mean we're still in the digital world? And the buildings are only not being restored cuz Gridman nor Akane isn't here? Also, damn that's a lot of casualties, hope they bring that up. 2. Wouldn't it be dangerous for Anti to be here? He is a Kaiju after all. |

Now one could say he'd be able to resist easily since none of the Kaiju so far seem to have fully developed sentience and it'd at least take maybe two or more to control him. But also the interesting opportunity it presents is that a struggle like this could fully cement and further Anti's arc and character. What with how I said, he's definitely more than the average Kaiju. That being said, who knows what exactly he is here for, why he showed up, and what he knows. And it's interesting to see how he lands, his back faced to the Kaiju summoned and facing Dynazenon. Now it could be just so the heroes could see his face, but who knows, what with how they've been subtle about reusing certain shot and angles. |
