HENSHIN inspection presents Going Ultra. This is MJ. I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:15,160
You can find all my work at MJ MUNOZ.COM So this is Ultraman Ark episode 6.5 slash episode

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,360
special recap, recap number one, something about the Fujiyama branch of skip. Anyway,

4
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,040
I don't remember the whole thing. I didn't watch the actual episode so I'm not going

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,760
to talk about it. It was very much a clip episode and it flew by really quickly, partly

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,520
because I was watching it in one point, one and a quarter speed and partly because I was

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,560
listening to the the the dub and I'm going to I'm going to make a little bit of a fool

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:44,360
myself here. The guy who doesn't work for Subaru officially, although maybe he does

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,200
in some unofficial capacity, mock or Mike mock dent. He was there doing the commentary

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:57,320
along with a gentleman who I like ease. I can't remember his name. I'm not going to

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,960
butcher it right now. I may put it in the show notes he works for. He's the editor in

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,400
chief, I think he said of Ultraman Connection, which is pretty cool because Ultraman Connection

13
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,720
is a site I've used minimally. But, you know, maybe I'll check it out more. I didn't realize

14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,560
that stuff was going up there. Like Ishido's shoe, as the guy called him, Ishido's like

15
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,040
diary or whatever, which sounds pretty cool. I like Ishido. There's, you know, little lore

16
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,240
bits are being dropped in there and I think it'd be curious to check that out. So it's

17
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,800
not a promise. It's not an oath. I'm not swearing to do it, but I think it's something cool

18
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,760
to check out. So at UC, as he called it, or UltramanConnection.com, you can find a bunch

19
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:47,680
of stuff and I'll link to I'll do my best to link to Ishido's diaries there. That way

20
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,800
it gives me a head start on checking it out myself. And then you want to check it out

21
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,280
yourself. But anyway, that's pretty interesting. Oh, the commentary was very interesting. I

22
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,960
liked it a lot. I don't know. I haven't watched much of Ultra Q. I watched the two episodes

23
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,400
that CytrixR suggested that I watched. But apparently there's a Peter, who's a kaiju,

24
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:12,320
a kaiju named Peter, in Ultra Q. And like the two of them, especially the other guy,

25
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,640
the older guy, I assume he's a little bit older than Mike. He like lost his mind at

26
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,440
Peter. And there were even comments in the YouTube, you know, there were comments on

27
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,760
the YouTube channel or page or whatever. People saying, Peter, Peter, Peter, whatever. And

28
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,680
it's kind of funny. So apparently there's this Peter character from Ultra Q, who was

29
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,240
a kaiju and he played a, you know, some sort of role. I don't know. I don't know anything

30
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,280
about him other than that he was referenced in this episode. So it's kind of fun that

31
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,120
they're taking that, you know, Ultraman arc is in this separate, totally separate universe,

32
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,560
and the kaiju incursions have just started happening, but they're still pulling from

33
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,200
older Ultraman stuff to go ahead and like world build or put different things in there.

34
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,680
And I'm assuming that Peter would have been one of the kaiju who emerged after K-Day,

35
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,440
you know, so within 16, maybe 15 years ago, 16 years ago, whatever. And as well as like

36
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Red King and some of the others that they've shown to us in like the news rules and stuff

37
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,960
that arc has fought over the last three months since he's been arc officially. So that was

38
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,440
kind of fun, kind of interesting. Well, actually the commentary was great. I really hope they

39
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,320
do more commentaries because it was a lot of fun. Like I don't like, I have nothing

40
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,600
against Mock Dent or Mike Dent, whatever. I have nothing against him. I also have nothing

41
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,640
for him. I've enjoyed vintage mention his YouTube channel, which I don't think is really

42
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,080
active anymore, but he's done some cool stuff on there. And I believe, what did I, I probably

43
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,800
got originally introduced to him through Henshin Justice Unlimited, you know, like over a

44
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,700
decade ago when I first started getting back into Tokusatsu or into Tokusatsu proper after

45
00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:00,320
having been a Power Rangers watcher for a while. Mostly I think I probably watched for like

46
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,800
seven years straight, took a little bit of a break, came back for Tommy and Daniel Thunder

47
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,320
and then kind of had an on and off relationship with it after that. I know, I don't think

48
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,200
I watched Jungle Fury as it was live, but I definitely did watch some of Ninja Storm

49
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:21,040
and it was, it was okay. Anyway, Ham's the best by the way. Anyway, so getting back to

50
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:28,040
this, like, so I don't really have, you know, strong opinions about Mr. Dent. Other than

51
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,520
to say that I've enjoyed his work in the past and he's a fun guy, seems like a decent fellow.

52
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:42,440
I hate to kill him. And, sorry. Anyway, so it's just, it was a fun commentary. It was

53
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,880
really enjoyable. I don't know if you noticed, but he's cut promos for Shout Factory, I think,

54
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,520
or is it for, yeah, I guess he's got promos for Shout Factory and what else has he done?

55
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Oh, he was the AI voice on Ultraman Z. You know, Windom is loading into the safety area.

56
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Windom, full power. Kaiju attacks, that's him. And, yeah, I don't know. I don't want

57
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,720
to get too sidetracked. It was just, like, it was nice to be able to watch the clip episode

58
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,600
with no pressure of, like, oh, I'm going to really watch this hard to see what's going

59
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,880
to happen here. And I don't know if they produced it in a more casual way and, well, keeping

60
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,560
in mind that they might want to do an English commentary or if when they got the episode,

61
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,520
like, they, the dub team, I guess you could say, which I would love to know more about

62
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,600
the dub team, that would be super interesting for somebody to go into, if they said, like,

63
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,160
we're just a little fan, let's just do a commentary, let's do something else. And I think it was

64
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,920
good. I think it's good to point people back to Ultraman Connection and to encourage people

65
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,960
to check that out and to be more aware of that because maybe people aren't. And I don't

66
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,840
know, I think it was a good thing to do. I think, like, you know, Dent is a fan and,

67
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,680
like, including, you know, he's a fan, but he's also kind of a professional because he

68
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,520
does voice acting, right? And he's been in a show, he's been in an Ultraman show. So,

69
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400
like, he's a friend, he's a potential or a professional, he, like, bridges that gap.

70
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,400
And I think it's interesting to have him there as kind of, like, an ambassador to, like,

71
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,560
pull people in. I think it's a very clever marketing move. Again, Super Rise, the classiest

72
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,680
tokusatsu outfit out there and I love what they're doing. And yeah, I enjoyed the heck

73
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,280
out of this clip episode because of the commentary. And I don't know, I really hope this is what

74
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,560
they did for the next one as well because there probably will be one more because I'm

75
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,600
in my Blazar rewatch or really first time watch, but, you know, from, yeah, I'm watching

76
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,280
Blazar from the future in the past or something like that. I know there's at least two specials,

77
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,280
if not, like, a third one too right before, like, episode twenty-two, episode twenty-two,

78
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:48,600
I think was another special recap type thing. So anyway, yeah, that's all I have to say.

79
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:56,040
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it and because of not the content of the episode, but the content

80
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,400
of the commentary and it was a lot of fun and I hope it's something that we get to see

81
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:06,200
more of in the future. And that's about it. So until next time, folks, take care, be well,

82
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,120
