Ultroid Zero gets a horrifying new look? I guess this will mean that it'll slowly transform while fighting Zett.

The new episode was amazing. Explained and clicked into place a lot of elements from throughout the show, had some insane action sequences, and set things up perfectly for the finale.
Spoiler:
I was neutral on Destrudos from the magazine scans, but I was waiting until seeing him in action before casting judgement, and goddamn did he not disappoint.

For a mushroom cloud-causing explosion, that was a lot less destructive than I was expecting.

Y'know, with all this "Earth is alive" talk, this would've been a great opportunity to bring Kodalar and Kilazee/Shillagi/Chimerus(?) back.

That's a neat-looking CG Ultraman. Goddangit, stop making my need for a Shin Ultraman trailer worsen!

Oh no.

So does this mean Celebro's basically the Showa Ghidorah of Ultraman? Or would that still go to Zetton?

GRIGIO!?

Holy crap, not Yoko...

That was a good shot. I wonder if those stairs were really there laid out on the ground or if they were composited in.

Wait, does this mean... Holy crap, those monsters from Episode 2 could actually appear!

Even if it’s minor, Majaba got a reference and had a still image, which is a good sign for those monsters someday making s comeback.

INCREDIBLE.

Excellent homage to the original Ultraman. I'm still processing everything! I'll be honest an idea I had for my own Ultraman story basically happened: :lol:
Spoiler:
Main girl lead/love interest being possessed by the alien villain.
Small world for ideas haha. Figured what I thought was cool would have already been done. :P

What do you mean about it being a homage to the original Ultraman? Also I agree about Yoko. Great turn of events and keeping her internal to the climax.

Also, I think it's pretty obvious Haruki will pilot Windom next episode. I wonder if Bako will pilot King Joe. I think that's what they were building up with him in the car scene and it would make sense.

I just finished watching the latest episode for the third time. Man, this was a great episode! The main director for this series NEEDS to be the main director for the next Ultraman series!!!!! I didn't like Destrudo so much when I saw him on those Terebikun scans, but now I think he is definitely a very cool kaiju.

The end where Zoffy revived Ultraman in the red orb, looks just like Z standing over Haruki, even with being in the red orb thing.

Anyone have favorite episodes? I got a number of ones I really like.

5: Reveals it really is Juggler, great fight between Peguila and Z then a follow up with Zeppandon.
7: This is really high on my list. I don't know if the series has ever gotten QUITE as epic Z, Geed and Zero fighting a form-shifting Celebro. Even before that it was just nifty.
21: D4, really tense first with Z and Yoko on the ground trying to fight a swarm of Kelbeam. Then he has to go into space and leave her on the ground with overwhelming enemies.
23: Prelude to a Nightmare. Hard to hate an episode with 5 kaiju in it!

I'm pretty darn sure that episode 14 with Bullton is my favorite. Great action and great important character moment for Haruki. Magic duel between Gamma Future and Bullton!

21 by far.

Also, anyone else notice the strange absence of Bemular and Pigmon? They got all the other heavy-hitters from the original series.

Honestly i fail to see what the heck Pigmon could've contributed to this particular show.

Who needs Pygmon when we can have Kanegon? I guess you could kinda still have Pygmon eat the coins but I think it'd be funnier and make more sense of Kanegon mistook the medals for money.

Well, that actually managed to hurt me a bit.
Spoiler:
That last arm wrestle was heartwarmingly tragic!

All in all, a great end to the show! Finally nice to see Celebro meet his end thanks to Yuka and Shinya (surprising!) and Z learning to take on monsters without his Ultra Medals is a neat way to wrap up his journey.. well until the Movie at least.

Not sure what that golden thing was that helped Z and Haruki fight though. It looks kinda similar to Tiga's fight with Gigantothor so.. i'm guessing it's hope?
