Engine inspection presents going ultra. This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer
Join me as I talk about ultimate arc episode 4 on the kaiju's tail. By the way, it's probably the best episode title so far
I absolutely love it. So anyway
Talk about this episode
So yeah, I think Rin is an absolute hero all of skip is extremely heroic
I've mentioned that before because they're going out there with no weapons. No real weapons. It's a little like agitator for the kaiju and
And they're directing people to safety and they're putting themselves in harm's way
They're running towards the danger when sirens are going off and stuff. But this is a focus episode
So let's talk about Rin a little bit
She just you know
Soon as there's an issue and you know, there's a kaiju of some sort. She says hey, we're gonna get over here. Follow me kid
Follow me rookie and
She and Yuma go
Investigate and as things get worse worse and as there's actual danger going on with cheat
you know, first of all, she's the one who captures the big rat and
You know that clearance some sort of danger of a tune and she performed very well
She shot the net thing at it and then I just snapped it and then got to that
weapon does
So that's pretty pretty reverted a bit of accomplish that but then after that when it's a giant kaiju
I'm choosing runs in this building that has a selective source that's going to blow up if they don't take care of it properly
and
cheap with herself right next to the source of the explosion and
She's like very well could die and she's brave enough to go ahead and face her death and
The animal business that was really cool. I really appreciated that
So she's just no normality essentially when we didn't know Rebecca
What I'm saying is as opposed to like storage or scarred
Nobody has any you know formal training and military training that would prepare them for this sort of thing and that's really impressive
so
It was sweet to see all the townsfolk. I guess you could call them tearing Rin on it's neat especially with how she
Rocks folks and protecting people and helping them and let's get helping to reduce damage. I know
our
Kaiju but she stopped the explosion from happening and I would say her
Cutting her you be shutting down the electrical thing
Die whatever it was called also helped to weaken the kaiju
So at least we're getting stronger to be able to do any more damage. So yeah, she's right. She did the right thing
40s people she's like she mentioned this whole thing about how she
She moved around a lot and like
This little area where she was which is the verb see it's not okay. What is the C is the call the brain?
she
Really feels like it's home for her. So she was really intent on protecting it and people there, you know
I love her for that and that's really cool
Let me see
I'll see that and go from later maybe
So yeah
I went ahead and looked at the comments to the dub and like the third comment down was a joke about Pikachu
And yeah, I couldn't help it. Maybe because I watched as a kid, you know, I don't know
And I just
Pretty funny and name is you know, Nisetron the kaiju name of anyway, and that's
Pokemon name
This is kind of cool when each show called Rin he told her rat was a species with an established history and some
Scientific research having already been done on it before you feed named the kaiju Nisetron rat was known as the scientific name
It was electric teamus and ponocus
Which roughly translates a Japanese like rat? I try to look up rat rat there in the scientific like faggums
It's called rodentsia
or
rodenta
rodenta whatever and they're like
The name of it like an American rat would be like we're into Americanist. So
Nippon is a Japanese word for Japan. So
Nipponikus would be this is an electric teamus from Japan. So that's why I said this
It roughly translates as Japanese electric rat
I tried to look up teamus to see if it came up under any other thing. I couldn't really find anything
So I want to give a more specific nerdy
Examination of the scientific name this thing. I don't have that
I do have the text that was pulled up on the screen and maybe i'll share that with you in a little bit
We'll see how we're doing on time
He mentioned after the fight that they would offer him valuable data
And that is a villain red flag at least for me
Being a Commenator fan
Does that make anybody else suspicious? People were looking for data in Forza
The med-vets specifically wanted data in Forza. They wanted data in
What was the second thing?
They wanted data in double for sure and
Definitely nobody was looking for data. Everybody was just looking to say I'm gonna read the halo. So
Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I mean he gave us some interesting guides
I
I don't want to I don't want to talk too much about anything. I really like what you said
I really like
The little snippets of him having these character moments with the other members. It's a lot of fun and uh
I like him. I like his voice actor. I like his voice actor
And I'm really curious to see what exactly they're gonna do with this character, but I just don't know. I just don't know
So I mentioned this in my short review
My pleasing fast arc review and I don't want to talk about it right now
Well, I'm gonna touch on something I didn't talk about there. But anyway, here we go
So Arc of Sonar is pretty cool. I thought it was gonna be kind of jerky originally, but it's actually pretty cool. I like it
I noticed though that in the first half of the fight the arc suited actor
Who's name is Hiyoshi Iwata. I'll play him for a few moments. He was kind of moving slowly
The movements were like jerkier. They weren't as smooth
Then when he powered up with the armor, he got faster. He got smoother and he looked more competent and cooler
And I wonder if that was intentional to kind of like nerf himself in the beginning of the fight and then once he got the power up to
You know
Do his best and and do a much better performance
So that it really sold how good the armor was and how much it did for for arc
But it kind of took me out of it because it looked fake like Ultraman fights always to me looked pretty darn good like
I can't really remember seeing one like it looks dumb
I don't really buy it. You know, like sometimes there's a little too much CGI. Like I really like G. I really like G in Ultraman Z
Seeing him there, but like his Wrecking Blaster like this maybe a little too much like it's a little too busy the effects
And I felt the same with
Belly Rock from Ultraman Z. It's like it's a little too much
Well, it takes away from it, you know, the specium ray is one thing the specium like, you know, like the rainbow
Rainbow strike or whatever that blazer has is super cool, and it's very toyotic and very you know, a lot of its effects heavy
But like the performances around it and everything look really good and smooth and fast and powerful
But like just something in this first half the fight just I don't know tell me what you thought about that my my being too harsh
The performances are fantastic. Otherwise
But I want to tell you the performances
So Hideyoshi Iwata is the main suit actor for the Ultraman series and he has been since Nexus is like a little asterisk there
But you can look it up yourself. He played both blazar and arc. So that is an impressive range
He also portrayed the voice of blazar, which is pretty cool and said you're toxic
I'm made common about that like, you know a year ago when arc was first airing or maybe it was more than a year
Anyway, good stuff interesting
Really neat but like yeah, if you look at how wild and frenetic blazar is and then how like
Calm and almost precise but in kind of a weird way
Arc is they're very different performances and it's impressive that he can have such range
And I'm only complaining about the suit acting from this one episode in this one instance
Because I think it
Is remarkable
You know, it deserves being remarked upon
That's what I mean by that and just kind of interesting. So tell me what you thought about all that and yeah, that's it
So because I can I'm going to read to you
Some information that you should have found on this rodent of unusual size. So here we go research details
We discovered a particular bacterium that feeds on electricity as a source of activity in the body of this rodent
These are considered a type of so-called electric bacteria
These microorganisms are primarily produced in environments where sunlight cannot reach such as deep sea or deep underground
Based on the these results various industries are planning to use these rats in the future for electric food production in space
On the other hand when electricity was applied to the rats in the laboratory
The experiment also documented that the rodents went rabbit immediately after being electrified
These results suggest that the rodents were able to use the food produced in the future
These results suggest that more detailed studies on the rodents are needed
The genome analysis of the captured rodent revealed that it is a new species in a new genus and ah and it was named electrochemus nipinicus in a paper published in the following journal
So maybe that's why I couldn't find electrochemus or chemus for anything because by the way rodenta means like chewer or gnar
Something that gnaws which is what rats and mice do anyway so yeah they made up a genus which makes a lot of sense
But the nipinicus thing is definitely Japanese electric rat so it's pretty cool
What did you think of the episode? What did you think of some of the stuff I said? Some of my criticisms and some of my praise
I definitely had praise for this I liked it overall it's just there were some issues some minor issues that I wasn't so in favor of things I didn't really like
And I'm going to be honest with you and not just say oh everything Ultraman is ultra great because that's not true
And I think we should be able to fairly criticize things and yeah that's pretty much all I have to say so until next time folks take care and keep being ultra
