00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,760
Ultraman Art Episode 11 message. Modeled message, message from space, message from

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,200
I don't know what. I don't know. It was kind of an interesting episode and by kind of

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,280
interesting I mean kind of frustrating because I don't really know what was

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,600
going on. I'll talk about some some interesting factoids before I jump

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,760
straight now. Yeah I'm going to talk about some interesting factoids so I can stay

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,620
on focus and then I'll talk about what happened in this episode and what I

10
00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:46,680
thought about it. So here we go. Gubila or Okugubila is well Okugubila the

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,280
kaiju that emerges from underground with the big drill on his face comes from a

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,960
it's a class of family of kaiju that started its debut in Ultraman

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,480
in Ultraman Episode 24. It says it's an aquatic so and it was just called Gubila

14
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
at that time. It says it's an aquatic kaiju that first appeared in Ultraman

15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Episode 24 the industry science center. Since then numerous other Gubilas have

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,280
been encountered by various ultras. So Gubila, deep sea monster, Okubila,

17
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,440
ancient underground beast which is what you excuse me Yuma called it

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:27,880
in this episode. And let me see. Yeah so the design seems to be of his head at

19
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,600
least seems to be based off a narwhal having a drill in place of a narwhal's

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,040
tooth or tusk is really what it is. Well the tusk tooth is the same thing right. Its body is

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,920
based off the patterns of a clown triggerfish which I do not know but you

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,040
look at it and see for yourself. And anyway I thought that was pretty cool. I think it's a

23
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,160
neat design it looked very old-school but with kind of a new edge so I thought

24
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,920
hmm either this is a callback to something or it's a new one but it's made very

25
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,080
much in the style of a classic kaiju so I'm glad to note there's history there

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,720
and that I was able to spot that. I guess I'm learning the visual language of

27
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920
Ultraman a little bit which is kind of cool for me because I've been watching

28
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,560
it for a while now so seeing that I can see like oh this is an old design is

29
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:18,120
pretty fun for me. Anyway so yeah but Gubila comes in he's just kind of an

30
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,400
excuse I guess for it. Well so this episode ends on a cliffhanger. Will Gubila

31
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,640
come back for the next episode? I do not know. If it does that'll be interesting

32
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:31,920
if it doesn't that'll be kind of weird because it wasn't killed but maybe it

33
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,560
was warded off. That very well may have been what happened but we can't really

34
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,960
say we don't know why Gevaaz came to earth at this time. I don't think they

35
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,040
were detecting any sort of signal. There was a sound that was being made and that

36
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,920
sound possibly it seems like it brought the Gubila there because Ishido

37
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:04,920
drove and Yuma used his sonic emitter to he cranked it all the way up and I

38
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:07,080
don't know if he did anything else but he cranked all the way up and he used

39
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,280
that to lure the Gubila away from people and towards safety and unfortunately it

40
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,200
also lured the Gubila towards those kids and they were put in danger for a minute

41
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:25,080
or two but they ended up being fine. But anyway moving on from that you know I

42
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,640
want to talk more about Gevaaz and what he's doing this episode and what he

43
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:33,800
means and I mean obviously it's a source of tension for yeah it's a

44
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,840
source of tension between Yuma and Ishido and Yuma had started this episode off

45
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,200
saying oh Mr. Ishido I feel like you're just so much part of our part of skip

46
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,720
and you know there's not a big rift between us and the the space defense

47
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,880
force is that what it is maybe that's what it is anyway there's not such a big

48
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,000
rift between us and Ishido says oh really you think so and I think he takes it more

49
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,520
as a compliment but maybe he's also a little bit suspicious of it and Yuma

50
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:09,800
kind of backpedals yeah Yuma kind of backpedals from that and says no no no

51
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,960
everything's fine and then we get to see there's this big conflict between

52
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:19,520
them so I thought there was going to be a big deal made about the fact that

53
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Gevaaz was from a tear in space and somebody commented recently a couple

54
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,200
weeks ago actually that the significance of K-Day because I was talking about

55
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,680
like isn't it anachronistic that there could be you know Libia Jira this ancient

56
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,040
kaiju and then they specifically call Oka Gabila here an ancient underground

57
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,160
beast and it was bomb it was Hamger they got me going on this that Hamger

58
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,880
doesn't make sense because aren't they violating what they've set up in the

59
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,160
show that K-Day happened 16 years ago and how can there be ancient kaiju and

60
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,920
kaiju records of kaiju from you know hundreds of years ago and there's this a

61
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,160
pattern in the emergent Yuma was able to know about you know if the kaiju only

62
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,200
came on K-Day 16 years ago and the commenter said hey dude this is Ultraman

63
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,500
there are always kaiju in the world of Ultraman K-Day was specifically space

64
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:18,680
kaiju Mano Gilos and Juo Gilos that was the most anyway like that's the

65
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:27,320
significance of it but I fail to see why earth kaiju are automatically just okay

66
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,280
or whatever and space kaiju are automatically a really bad thing that

67
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:36,760
doesn't really make sense to me it's a kaiju from outer space therefore it is

68
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,200
extra bad the only thing that kind of makes sense is what they try to do with

69
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Ultraman Blazar which did it to varying effect varying degrees of success is to

70
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,780
say that the space kaiju are different from the earth kaiju and they like gave

71
00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:57,040
an explanation for why space kaiju are different from earth kaiju and why earth

72
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,000
kaiju are kind of good because they have their own environment and ecosystem here

73
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,840
on earth and if you mix in space kaiju with Earth's ecology it causes problems

74
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:15,960
and I can see that being true and I liked what they did in blazar with the

75
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:24,720
kaiju's defense force I should say but I don't really get how that makes a whole

76
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,280
lot of sense as a way to structure things in and of itself just because it's

77
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:35,360
an alien doesn't mean it's evil and this show this very show has tried to talk

78
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,640
about just because somebody is an alien why does that make them evil

79
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,760
automatically and they've said it doesn't make them evil automatically and

80
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:51,040
that happened in the in episode 6 of arc welcome to the Akebono inn and in that

81
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:58,040
episode we get to see Yuma scared of mr. Ishido killing this innocent alien

82
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Kuroko I think Kuroko in Kuroko who ends up being it's Numata

83
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,760
something or other but in Numa it's my boy Numa and towards the end of this

84
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:18,320
episode we see that Ishido has spoken with or communicated with Numa and it's

85
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:25,080
likely that Numa has given Ishido the information that he needs to be wary of

86
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,400
give us and to think that he's some sort of destroying robot sort of evil robot

87
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:40,800
evil robot it's funny and it's odd because Yuma and Ishido have this rift

88
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,240
between them over this robot that Yuma originally wanted to attack and destroy

89
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,200
and then Ishido originally wanted to kill Numa and he decided not to he

90
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,480
decided to trust him and they started a friendship I didn't think we'd see

91
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,880
anything come from that but here it is Numa apparently or seems to have told

92
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Ishido that give us is dangerous so he wants to destroy give us and he

93
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,620
definitely categories categorizes as an enemy however because Yuma witnessed

94
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:21,800
give us protect these kids and fight off is it Uka? Uka Gwila? that's kind of a

95
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:29,560
crazy name he trusts him and wants to let him be and I find that to be really

96
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,040
interesting because you have kind of a textured layered set of arguments or

97
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,680
reasons for these guys to disagree and for them to not be in sync with each

98
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,820
other and I originally felt a little bit disappointed in this episode like they

99
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:50,160
were trying to make every conflict without doing a very good job of it and

100
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:57,160
in retrospect I think they are doing a good job of it but I still really don't

101
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,400
like it and I still really don't get it and it kind of doesn't make sense so

102
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,320
like they're trying to accomplish something and they're putting all the

103
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,560
pieces in place to do that but I don't think what they're trying to say makes

104
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:16,960
sense like they're building the argument well based on what they have but I don't

105
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,640
know that the argument makes sense and I don't fully understand what the

106
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,680
argument is and I sure hope they do but we'll find out next episode so tell me

107
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,540
what you thought did you think this episode made sense did you like it a lot

108
00:09:29,540 --> 00:09:33,680
did you dislike it like me did you dislike it for other reasons was there

109
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:40,480
cool stuff that I forgot to mention let me know and also yeah that's it for now

110
