Join me as I talked about Ultraman blaze our episode 24 the approaching third wave the kaiju featured this episode were pretty much just
for all I'm
and Earth Gurren mod 4
Who's ready for space and?
Yes, so this was an interesting episode. I overall I really did like it a lot I
I
Inventory I had a very hard time making notes
I've only got like six or less or six or so bullet points on this episode
and I had a really hard or I had a really easy time making the notes, but as I felt it
I didn't feel like a lot of
Moments were all I got to write down about this. We're gonna think about that it just kind of
Happened and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible
I think everything flowed very naturally in this episode
But there was also a lot of it and yet it was all stuff
I've kind of seen coming for a little while so didn't really hit me in
Like I wasn't shocked by revelations. I'm almost waiting like okay
So now you're gonna confirm X Y or Z and they're not quite forthcoming with things as much as they could be but anyway
I'll just read through my notes except for one thing. I forgot to put in my notes which is
in the beginning when Emmy and Gento met they seemed like a weird vibe chemistry between them and
then
In and thus Emmy fought when they're at the aquarium and stuff
like they even seem to be a weird vibe between them there and
Now at this final episode like he and Haruno talked about any as if he needs to get back to earth and protect her or
Put keep her on her leash or whatever
and also we have
The moment between them he's the last person to say goodbye to her in this whole line of other crew people who work for Scard
And he not only shakes her hand which is fine
I'm she like double hand she you know holds his hand and then puts her other hand on top of his hand which I
Think she did with whoever was I think it was VC was right, you know before him
Chiroaki I mean vice captain
But then like he like chucks her shoulder like you're gonna do this and then find a way to save us all like I
Think she's a good character. She's a cool character, but I find there's like a weird particular emphasis of his
Attention put on her and they don't quite understand what that's about like is she now is like a little sissy type character
I
Can't think of anything else because that would be wildly inappropriate and very unultraman like I think
and
I don't really know what it is
And I keep waiting for her to turn out to be something special or someone special like an alien or alien human hybrid or something
like that, and I just don't know if that's where they're gonna go with the show or what and
Yeah, it's kind of strange I get a weird vibe and
I don't really understand it. Maybe it was the actor and actress
anyway, so
Varalans method of travel is so wicked. I mean that literally and also that it's very cool and novel
Blowing up with your bio bombs that come off of your tail your bottom whatever
The core of a planet in order to throw it off of course so that it
changes its
Orbit and then crashes into another planet that you can then use to do kind of the same thing too is like
Amazing think about the the daisy chain of all that impact you go from you slingshot from one plant into another and in that destruction
That destruction because it pulls it in with its gravitational force, right?
It knocks that planet off its gravitational force and it pulls it in the next one the next one the next one in the solar system
And you could probably travel pretty quickly relatively speaking as far as space travels concerned with that and that's crazy
It's a crazy method I was thinking about like scientifically where did to get the nourishment the nutrients to keep doing that but I know
Whatever it feeds off of solar radiation. Let's say so then it's all fine
So yeah, I think that's pretty cool and then I thought this was interesting earthy has
access to this classified information that Emmy wants and she basically like social hacks him like or
Social engineers him because she's a corner if you were friends. I think you use a friend. What do you think of us?
I think you're a friend too. Well, can you share that information with me? And then he gives me this little micro USB
And she's able to hack it later and it just I don't know it felt kind of nice
But it also felt kind of wrong and I was thinking should she be doing this but then again if it's for the fate of
the world I guess but like I don't know it's just kind of interesting move and it's an interesting thing to do and
Yeah when
When you be
Assassinate the entire skip office will know why the air are rising up because of what's been done to them and also man in the past
And then I can't believe that Gento didn't tell his wife what he is and what he's really doing
And that he was you know, maybe going to die and not see her ever again or their son
But I do love that before he transforms and when he's begging later to fight with him
And he sees the bracelet that his son gave him on his wrist and he looks at it
You can tell he's gazing at it
And then he looks at his wedding ring and he has this resolved and then I think that's when he pulls out the the blazer stone
And then he convinced his blazer to help him fight and I just I thought it was really really wonderful
I thought it was really wonderful
Going back real quick to his wife's reform
So like I wanted them to like hug or embrace or like a peck or something just because like that's what a husband or wife
Would do especially if he thought like I'm gonna die tonight
But maybe they'd already said goodbye and
Yeah, I just would think that something like that would happen. But anyway, it was kind of
Disappointing that didn't happen
But then after he closed the door the camera stays on her face and just before she breaks
It cuts and then we go to the next scene and I thought that was I thought that was really great. I was really great
That and then him looking at his
Bracelet and ring and then he looks at his ring and he's like
Bracelet and ring reminding him of his son and his wife who he loves
I thought it was beautiful
I thought it was strange though that blazer's light started blinking immediately when he was on the surface of the moon
Because I mean he's like a space guy
So does he need oxygen to breathe? Is he holding his breath real hard? Like I didn't I didn't quite get that I didn't see
That we're all on had like zapped him or anything like that
Like he did later and it looked like he pulled energy out of him like shift it
You know, he's a final boss, right? So he's gonna have multiple forms and he like kind of modified and changed his form or whatever
Yeah, that was kind of odd. I didn't really get that. I also don't really get Dobushee's role at all in the show like he's
Was he a part of the original v99 thing no he wasn't because he didn't have all those notes in that notebook on v99
and
He's like a high-level asset who they were protecting who Gento was protecting previously three years ago
And then he can just waltz into the like gg or yeah
Ggf command office and like do stuff and kind of like giving orders to people
and then he sends guys to abduct emmy because
She was hacking or whatever. But also he like used emmy as an asset to get to the notebook and
I don't really know. I don't really know what's going on
He's got a very strange role and they don't really understand what it's supposed to be and what it's about and again like
This is a kid's show so it should be a little more clear. I would think for them to understand but here I am
Not understanding it is though. I don't know
I mean towards the end of the fight with
Ver-all-ran, I hope I'm saying that right
Blazor held up his hand and he saw the black hole thing happening again
I don't really understand what happened. It looked really cool
It felt like it had something really cool, but it didn't actually show what it did so like
Did he bring like a massive, you know thing in there to hit him like he you know black hole the I don't know
The blazor spear was it I don't know what he did but um or the blazor spiral blade or like was that him disconnecting from?
Gento
Because he connected to him through the wormhole now. He's just thinking
I don't know I don't understand
And I think that's a problem for this whole episode like there were a lot of things going on that I didn't actually understand
and I'm confused as to why they're confusing and I'm confused as to why they don't quite make sense and I just
I don't know what I liked it, but it
I almost worry if I like it more because because of like the emotional beats than I do for like from a story standpoint
But then also it was like very satisfying to see like the final checks
Even checking if earthy is good and like getting to see the human faces behind
You know the start you know earthy or earth growing operation
I mean the people helping run it like getting to see a focus on the
I mean the people helping run it like getting to see a focus on them briefly for them to say you know
This checks out this checks out this checks out like all those things were cool
It felt really impactful and it felt kind of like impending doom
But it didn't feel hopeless and like full of despair
It felt kind of wistful and hopeful and almost nostalgic or something and I did appreciate that but it just
Someone was missing, but I still liked it
Oh, well like I'd give it a four out of five or a you know eight or nine out of ten
