00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.519
Ultraman Arc Episode 20 is called What is Passed

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.300
Down. It originally aired November 30th, 2024.

00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:26.559
The director is Yusuke Akitake and the writer

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:32.140
is Ukyo Miura. I don't remember if she was the

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:35.740
first lady to do an episode of Ultraman Arc or

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:38.659
not, but the last writing credit I have from

00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:41.799
the Ultraman wiki is episode 9 of Ultraman Taiga,

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.159
the present for each. And she also worked on

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.100
Ultraman Geed in 2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 episodes,

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.840
some early and some late. And Ultraman Orb, she

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.060
did two episodes, and Ultraman X, a single episode.

00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:02.350
That's pretty cool. I don't know much about her

00:01:02.350 --> 00:01:05.549
except for she worked on those shows, and I'm

00:01:05.549 --> 00:01:08.650
going to go ahead and talk about the episode.

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:12.349
So it was an interesting episode. Chief Bon,

00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:15.569
Hiroshi Bon, his daughter is doing this career

00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:17.590
day thing, and she chose not to go with Skip

00:01:17.590 --> 00:01:21.709
as her – nobody applied for Skip as their career

00:01:21.709 --> 00:01:25.730
day thing. Nobody wanted to ride along with the

00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:29.829
skip crew in any area in order to learn about

00:01:29.829 --> 00:01:35.129
that career. And instead, Chief Bond's daughter

00:01:35.129 --> 00:01:37.549
decided to, or Chief Hiroshi's daughter, decided

00:01:37.549 --> 00:01:41.150
to work with a local news reporter instead. And

00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:44.200
he... Kind of feel sad about that. And he talks

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.319
about the fact that parents don't really get

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.159
to hold on to their kids and they have to let

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.900
their kids go their own way. And he has like

00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:52.019
a bento box or a lunchbox or whatever from her

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:53.519
that was hers when he was a kid. And he said

00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.000
stuff like this is the only thing that we parents

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.560
get to hold on to. And I thought it was really

00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.079
interesting. And it's interesting especially

00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.540
because he was having that conversation with

00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:02.760
Yuma who has no parents. His parents are dead.

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.019
He doesn't get that side of it. And I think his

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:08.439
grandma's still around, but I don't know what

00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.500
their deal is currently. She hasn't been in the

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:16.840
show for a little bit. And I liked the melancholy

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.659
of this. I like that it's setting up this different

00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:22.199
threat, which is that there appears to be a Gomez,

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.460
but it's actually not a Gomez. It's this other

00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:29.219
alien. I took a screenshot of the name of it,

00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:31.479
but I don't have it at my command right now.

00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.419
And it's some sort of glass kaiju that eats silicate.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:44.560
So it's going to... It's going to go ahead and

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.900
it was going to... Anyway, it went to a certain

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:49.659
place there because there's like a glass factory

00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.860
and it wanted to eat from there. So they were

00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:53.860
expecting it to behave one way based on Yuma's

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:57.419
knowledge of the physiology and the biology and

00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:00.939
the natural traits of kaiju, which is something...

00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.360
emphasized in arc that i don't know has been

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.680
emphasized in other ultra series just because

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.460
i haven't watched enough of them but it for sure

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:10.960
to me was not emphasized in blazar or in uh z

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.919
reset whatever um so that's interesting um and

00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:24.439
the other thing i have to say is i like the like

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.900
the kind of harder sci -fi aspect of arc where

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:30.939
they're talking about like knowing uh like Yuma

00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:34.819
went to school to become an expert in kaiju physiology

00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:37.919
and behavior, I would say. It's probably the

00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.479
best way to put it succinctly because I don't

00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:40.900
have the stuff right in front of me, but basically

00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:43.879
he went to learn about this. He's treating kaiju

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.240
as animals and having natural cycles, and we

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.080
hear if Gomas is hungry, it should be going towards,

00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:51.560
since it's predatory or carnivorous, it should

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.639
be going towards the foot of the mountain where

00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.479
there would be animals for it to eat, and if

00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.060
it's already full, which we might... suspect

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.319
because it's not going towards uh where there

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.939
would be animals for to hunt and kill and eat

00:04:01.939 --> 00:04:04.180
um then it should be hibernating because apparently

00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:05.919
that's what they do they eat and they sleep and

00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.620
this gomez is doing neither it's climbing this

00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:09.419
mountain but then we hear that it's actually

00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:15.900
this oh supico soup specchio specchio specchio

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.300
i don't know whatever that's the name of the

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.800
the strange creature that it is and it mimics

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.279
um it mimics gomez for what reason i do not know

00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:28.220
but it is a space kaiju Excuse me. And since

00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:30.240
Ishido works for the, you know, space division

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.000
of the GDF, he's more familiar with that. And

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.019
he guesses that maybe it's a space kaiju when

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:38.019
its behavior is anomalous for what a Gomez should

00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:40.500
be doing. And like all that stuff is really interesting.

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:42.579
Like the personal story with the chief and his

00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:45.199
daughter is interesting. She gets to see him

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.920
like being heroic. And she had said on the news,

00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:51.920
I think, that she would love to interview Ultraman

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.720
if she could. And then... There's this cool thing

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.459
at the end where Hiroshi's there and Ultraman's

00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:02.120
behind him and Ultraman's here and the Chief's

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.720
here. And then his daughter comes up from behind

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.839
and she interviews him and she talks about Skip

00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.379
and how cool Skip is and how all of us can be

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:12.360
doing something heroic and we all need to find

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.319
what we can do to make the world a better place.

00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:16.319
And it's kind of like a, I would say, I would

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.519
assume, like a very Japanese, like, not pluralistic,

00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:22.040
but like... We all have to perform our roles

00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.379
in society. We need to figure out what those

00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:26.300
roles are and then fill them or fulfill them,

00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:31.300
I should say. And I think that's neat. I think

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:33.519
it's cool. I like the message overall. And she's

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.980
saying, like, I have to find out what is best

00:05:34.980 --> 00:05:36.660
for me to do. And, like, maybe being a reporter

00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:38.579
isn't the best thing for me to do. But she was

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:41.120
able to report very well in that moment. I think

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.399
it's because she was more familiar with, like,

00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.540
her father and the kaiju thing. She grew up kind

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:49.889
of with skip being a thing. And I think as a

00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:51.189
little girl, she talked about joining him at

00:05:51.189 --> 00:05:53.329
Skip, but that didn't happen or hasn't happened

00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:55.829
yet. She was interested in this other stuff instead.

00:05:56.490 --> 00:05:59.230
And in the news reporting or whatever. It's funny,

00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:01.629
Yuppie has a moment where he talks about how

00:06:01.629 --> 00:06:03.769
kids want to either be famous or be influencers

00:06:03.769 --> 00:06:05.850
or have like, they don't want to be influencers

00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:08.250
and survive off their fame or they want to have

00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:10.610
jobs that are like super high paying. And Skip

00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:12.370
is neither of those. So that was like a real

00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:13.629
funny moment. And they're like, hey, you're being

00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:17.430
kind of rude. I'm just being honest. Then they

00:06:17.430 --> 00:06:19.430
all like part ways awkwardly. So that was a real

00:06:19.430 --> 00:06:22.610
fun moment with UP, like possibly using his personality

00:06:22.610 --> 00:06:24.250
that's been put into him and possibly using the

00:06:24.250 --> 00:06:25.709
fact that he's a robot. And he's like, look,

00:06:25.810 --> 00:06:27.649
this is the data folks. This is the data. And

00:06:27.649 --> 00:06:29.730
this is how it is. This is how kids are reacting

00:06:29.730 --> 00:06:32.129
to things these days. And I thought that was

00:06:32.129 --> 00:06:35.949
a lot of fun. So yeah, I really liked that. There

00:06:35.949 --> 00:06:38.589
was a very cool. thing with the arc eye sword

00:06:38.589 --> 00:06:40.790
which i called the sunglass slasher in my last

00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:42.110
review because i couldn't remember the name of

00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:44.649
it um which it does really look like i need to

00:06:44.649 --> 00:06:46.129
compare them but i'm not gonna do that right

00:06:46.129 --> 00:06:48.529
now um but i really liked how they carried that

00:06:48.529 --> 00:06:50.990
out that effect and i noticed in this episode

00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:53.290
there haven't been a lot of um or like i don't

00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:56.350
think last episode 19 or this episode 20 there

00:06:56.350 --> 00:06:59.269
was much in the way of those like arc trick shots

00:06:59.269 --> 00:07:01.009
that we got early on in the series where like

00:07:01.009 --> 00:07:03.730
the first five or six episodes like arc was doing

00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:05.569
something very imaginative very creative we were

00:07:05.569 --> 00:07:06.970
like seeing through his eyes we saw through a

00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:09.170
kaiju's eyes we got a lot of different perspectives

00:07:09.170 --> 00:07:10.670
and a lot of different interesting things happening

00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:12.990
here i really like the direction there was like

00:07:12.990 --> 00:07:15.470
some awkward framing of gomez in these different

00:07:15.470 --> 00:07:17.589
positions and like he was being like there was

00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:20.769
like some hand camera um or like handheld camera

00:07:20.769 --> 00:07:23.910
like people running towards the kaiju as people

00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:25.589
are running away from the kaiju so you have that

00:07:25.589 --> 00:07:29.480
contrast and then he he's like There's an overpass,

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:32.019
and there's a lamppost or whatever, and you can

00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:35.100
see him behind that, and he's in front of electrical

00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:38.399
wires or whatever. So you get to see him with

00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:39.519
this stuff in the background of him, and then

00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.220
there's stuff covering him. So it feels like

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.339
very real shots or documentary -style shots,

00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:46.100
and I really enjoy those. There was great miniature

00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:47.759
work done. They were going to shoot the citronella

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.759
acid at Gomez to... to uh because it's super

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.660
effective against gomez is um but they were unable

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:56.560
to and or it didn't work it had no effect um

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.639
or it was not very effective and that kind of

00:07:58.639 --> 00:07:59.939
tipped them off like hey something's going on

00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:02.480
with this kaiju it must not be normal gomez so

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.639
there's kind of like a lot of little things going

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.779
on here and like everything that was done in

00:08:05.779 --> 00:08:07.259
it was done really well and it was really interesting

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:10.720
it was a lot of fun And I liked the core story.

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:13.100
Again, I don't know what they're doing here.

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.839
And then the preview for the next episode, I've

00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.600
watched that episode already. Most of it, my

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.579
boys were watching and I was kind of there seeing

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:19.720
it with them while I was doing something else.

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.579
And it's a pretty cool episode. I'm excited about

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:24.660
it. And it's a great standalone episode, but

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:26.620
I don't know what it's doing for the overall

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.759
plot. And I don't know what this episode is doing

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.439
for the overall plot either. And I feel like

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.500
there are things to be taken care of with this

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:36.360
whole Annihilation of Earth thing that... to

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.919
me, is still a threat. I do not believe that

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.799
hole or whatever has been collapsed entirely,

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:43.539
and I believe it is going to be a problem. So,

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:44.820
anyway, in the last couple minutes, I'm just

00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:46.799
going to read some interesting stuff from the

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.519
wiki. There's a bunch of trivia stuff that I'll

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.899
just read directly from. Again, this is from

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:54.169
ultra .fandom .com. wiki for this episode. So

00:08:54.169 --> 00:08:56.850
this episode is the first since episode 15 of

00:08:56.850 --> 00:08:59.769
Ultraman X, A Soldier's Back, to revisit the

00:08:59.769 --> 00:09:02.149
theme of a leader and his daughter. Notably,

00:09:02.169 --> 00:09:03.809
both episodes feature Gomez as part of the storyline.

00:09:03.990 --> 00:09:06.309
Interesting. This is also Gomez's first appearance

00:09:06.309 --> 00:09:09.210
in an episode centered on a leader storyline

00:09:09.210 --> 00:09:12.389
since episode 17 of Decker, titled Investigation

00:09:12.389 --> 00:09:14.909
from the Past. This episode includes several

00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:16.629
Easter eggs and references to the Godzilla series.

00:09:16.789 --> 00:09:19.529
Since Gomez is based on Godzilla, there is a

00:09:19.529 --> 00:09:22.399
direct connection between the two. One, the footsteps

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.399
of Gomez, I don't know SP, why that's there,

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:28.019
and the power line scene recall a classic shot

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:32.519
from the 1954 Godzilla. Okay. Supako exhibits

00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.799
traits of Space Godzilla by mimicking the appearance

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.820
of Gomez and displaying characteristics such

00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:39.000
as flying using anti -gravity beams. Okay, I

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.039
don't know about Space Godzilla. Sorry. Given

00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.539
Gomez's... imposter role, some plot elements

00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:48.120
seem inspired by Mechagodzilla and its fake Godzilla

00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.919
disguise. For instance, Gomez's skin reveals

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:55.700
Supecio's interior, exposing its true nature

00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:59.080
as a mimic monster. Additionally, Gomez's use

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.539
of a reflective shield and beam attacks in its

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:04.960
battle with Ark mirrors Mechagodzilla's abilities

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.159
in the 1974 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. I had

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.570
no idea. Shoesline. Is it a robot made to look

00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:12.610
like Gomez? That felt like a reference. It is

00:10:12.610 --> 00:10:14.509
a clear nod to Mechagodzilla. Okay, I was wondering

00:10:14.509 --> 00:10:15.970
what that was a reference to, and I'm glad I

00:10:15.970 --> 00:10:17.289
read through this so I could see, because that

00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:19.289
100 % felt like a reference, and I was thinking,

00:10:19.389 --> 00:10:22.169
what's it a reference to? I wonder. The silhouette

00:10:22.169 --> 00:10:25.490
of Gomez standing on a mountaintop, walking through

00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:27.629
the city, and its resistance to GDF artillery

00:10:27.629 --> 00:10:29.610
are reminiscent of Godzilla's portrayal in the

00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:32.889
2016 film Shin Godzilla. After Gomez's defeat,

00:10:33.149 --> 00:10:37.320
it transforms into its true form. specchio resembling

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.120
certain scenes from the conclusion of the 2021

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.519
anime series godzilla singular point in response

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.179
to a question from a viewer on twitter asking

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:46.019
why does arc destroy the kaiju's barrier with

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:48.899
just one attack using the arc eye sword special

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:52.139
effects director naoki uchida explained by reflecting

00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:55.779
the beam i was uh It was able to amplify the

00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:57.759
energy, which is why the sword glows red when

00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.139
you look closely. Okay. I noticed the sword glowing

00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:02.100
red and I thought it was going to, I actually

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:03.960
said like, oh, I think it's going to break while

00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.399
I was watching it. And I was surprised that it

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.059
didn't. And he was able to get the attack. So

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:09.960
I, I think I intuited that the glowing red meant

00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.919
that it was like. you know, whatever, absorbing

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.820
power, just becoming too much. And then when

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:15.480
he sliced through, I thought, oh, okay, so that's

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.620
how he saw me. It's not going to break inside.

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:18.500
He's going to be able to utilize that power for

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:20.980
himself, which I thought was a pretty cool way

00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:24.059
to go about it. So yeah, this was a very cool

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:26.080
episode and there's the trivia for it from the

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.299
Ultraman Wiki, the fandom Ultraman Wiki or Ultraman

00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:30.700
fandom Wiki, whatever you want to call that.

00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:35.120
And yeah, it was a lot of fun and that's it for

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.110
now. I would encourage you to check out the show

00:11:38.110 --> 00:11:40.370
notes so you can find out more information, see

00:11:40.370 --> 00:11:46.190
other stuff that's going on. And also, huh, it

00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:49.710
looks like the actress for Tsugumi Ban is a hafu.

00:11:49.830 --> 00:11:54.470
She's Christina Asaf Costello, or Costello. Costello

00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:56.950
is what it should be. Interesting. Who knew?

00:11:58.029 --> 00:12:00.929
Anyway, not that it matters. Oh, no, that's the

00:12:00.929 --> 00:12:06.029
English dub, the voice actress. Jerk. Okay. Yeah.

00:12:06.110 --> 00:12:10.509
Whoops. Sorry about that. Let me see. In the

00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:12.889
main cast for the Japanese side, it doesn't name

00:12:12.889 --> 00:12:16.990
her. Oh, wait, guess I choose. Okay. Rina Miura.

00:12:17.090 --> 00:12:20.450
Okay. All right. So she's not, uh, not who I

00:12:20.450 --> 00:12:23.769
thought she was. It was false information right

00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:26.460
there. Gosh. Anyway. So. Check out my show notes,

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:28.139
which will lead you to the show notes for the

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:29.559
show, so you can get your own information from

00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.120
the Ultraman Wiki instead of relying on my unreliable

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.639
information from time to time. And I'm going

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:35.940
to encourage you to go ahead and check out GrowBugs

00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:38.220
.com. I have a book finished. It's called Mockwing

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:42.159
Mayhem. Generally speaking, there are magical

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:43.919
bugs who battle monsters, and specifically for

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.419
this book, Mockwing Mayhem, there are... because

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:48.080
it's a whole world, whole series worth of books.

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:49.120
It's going to be awesome. You're going to love

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.360
it. There is a mockwing, which is this mist -like

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.870
bird that hunts children in... feeds on them

00:12:56.870 --> 00:12:58.710
in a certain way and there's a magical bug who

00:12:58.710 --> 00:13:00.269
goes and fights this thing and protects it and

00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:02.590
it thinks he thinks he killed it but he didn't

00:13:02.590 --> 00:13:04.370
kill the monster and so the monster follows him

00:13:04.370 --> 00:13:06.509
home and then eventually it leads all its friends

00:13:06.509 --> 00:13:09.490
to attack his home and savagely destroy him and

00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:11.169
all his family members who are essentially all

00:13:11.169 --> 00:13:12.509
brothers and sisters who are all magical bugs

00:13:12.509 --> 00:13:15.590
that battle monsters and it's up to two at the

00:13:15.590 --> 00:13:19.590
end two of like teenage type of magical bugs

00:13:19.590 --> 00:13:22.460
who are untrained and untested unready -to -be

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.440
fighters to see if they can survive, help save

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.240
an older, more powerful grow bug who's outnumbered

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.220
and outmatched, and then even if they survive

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:31.840
that, how will they survive the rest of the flock

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.539
attacking them and trying to kill them? It's

00:13:33.539 --> 00:13:35.340
going to be a great story. Again, magical bugs

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:37.899
battling monsters. There's a lot of tokusatsu

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:42.100
-y things in the book, and a lot of tokusatsu

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:45.500
ideas went into it, and these monsters, or these

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:47.000
creatures of mine, these magical creatures, literally

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.320
protect children, which is something that...

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:52.179
Ultraman and Kamen Rider and Super Sentai do

00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:54.600
a lot. So there's a lot of that tokusatsu heart

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.899
in there. And I think you'll enjoy it if you

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:59.379
enjoy this show and enjoyed hearing me talk about

00:13:59.379 --> 00:14:01.480
it. So until next time, folks, take care. Be

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:01.659
well.
