This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.099
an analyzer. You can find all my work at mj1news

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:05.799
.com. Welcome to Henshin Inspection. I'm talking

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.699
about Ultraman Omega on this episode of Going

00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:11.679
Ultra. Going Ultra is back for 2025 and Omega

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.339
episode 1. I was waiting and waiting and waiting

00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:15.779
for the dub, but it didn't come out, so I had

00:00:15.779 --> 00:00:17.440
to watch the subtitled episode, and it was still

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.579
great. There's no issue. I'm excited for the

00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:23.219
dub. I hope it comes out faster next time. We'll

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:25.620
see what's happening at some point, but the point

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:27.460
is I don't have a lot of time, so I'm just going

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:30.190
to tell you. Ultraman Omega Episode 1 was fantastic.

00:00:30.449 --> 00:00:33.810
I really liked it. By the end, we learn that

00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:38.210
our fallen -from -a -star hobo Ultraman hero,

00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:41.869
who is clearly an alien, is named Omega, and

00:00:41.869 --> 00:00:43.469
I don't have a human name for him. I think in

00:00:43.469 --> 00:00:44.950
the promotional material it does talk about what

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:46.090
his human name is, but I don't remember what

00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:50.350
it is. I like him a lot, and I like Kosei, who

00:00:50.350 --> 00:00:52.049
he's hanging out with. Kosei Hoshimo, I believe,

00:00:52.090 --> 00:00:56.079
is his name. And it seems to me, again... that

00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.939
in this world they don't know what kaiju are

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:02.240
omega himself says oh kaiju mesome the awakening

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.959
of the kaiju is here um and also they're calling

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.260
the kaiju like giant creatures giant monsters

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.040
they're not calling them kaiju yet and i think

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.459
even omega at one point says kaiju and uh kosei's

00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:18.079
like what what are you talking about kaiju what's

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.969
a kaiju um and That seems strange to me, and

00:01:21.969 --> 00:01:23.629
we'll see if later on it turns out there's an

00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:24.930
ancient kaiju and they've actually known about

00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:27.310
them all along, like they did in Ark, or I felt

00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.409
they did in Ark, whatever. We'll see what happens

00:01:29.409 --> 00:01:31.549
with that. But yeah, this was a cool episode,

00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:36.609
cool first episode. The way that Omega, in his

00:01:36.609 --> 00:01:38.670
human form, walks around, he's very chill, very

00:01:38.670 --> 00:01:41.329
still, very slow. Not like he's stupid, but just

00:01:41.329 --> 00:01:43.390
like he's very relaxed, very zen, very calm.

00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:48.629
And even when he fought, I like when he's doing

00:01:48.629 --> 00:01:51.329
this and he's like, huh. I thought I could fly.

00:01:51.469 --> 00:01:53.129
He just says it matter -of -factly, very calm,

00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:55.629
not disappointed, no emotion, just like, I thought

00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:58.709
I could fly. Maybe I can't, or maybe I can, and

00:01:58.709 --> 00:02:01.469
I just don't remember how yet. Anyway, it's kind

00:02:01.469 --> 00:02:03.510
of fun, but when he transforms, he's there at

00:02:03.510 --> 00:02:04.950
one point, and he's just got his arms hanging

00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:08.120
down, and he's like waiting for... the kaiju

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:09.879
to attack him or waiting to counter attack or

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.039
whatever um and that was really cool um and then

00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.639
at some point he gets distracted because he's

00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.379
looking after um kosei and the mother and child

00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:20.000
that she that he was helping and um he ends up

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.500
turning around after looking at them for a long

00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:23.860
time and then the kaiju hits him across the chest

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:27.419
um and that was interesting um i like how also

00:02:27.419 --> 00:02:30.139
uh like the kaiju fight when it was you know

00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.310
it was very fun and very dynamic um It was cool

00:02:33.310 --> 00:02:34.889
to see the news crew freaking out that they had

00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:36.729
the giant right in front of them. And I love

00:02:36.729 --> 00:02:38.110
the thing that was seeded early in the episode

00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:39.870
that he thought he could fly and then he couldn't.

00:02:39.909 --> 00:02:41.430
And then he sees the bird flying above him while

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:42.969
he's smashing the ground and he realized, oh,

00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:44.389
I can fly to get out of here. And then he uses

00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:46.770
flying very tactically to get an advantage on

00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:49.289
the kaiju and then ultimately uses his slugger

00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:52.469
to cut its drill nose off. And then I love how

00:02:52.469 --> 00:02:53.689
this, I think the slugger came back to him and

00:02:53.689 --> 00:02:56.330
he ran at him and he slashed him. And by the

00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:58.689
way, the nose drill, it had like a star, like

00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:00.289
a five pointed star in the middle of it, which

00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:02.439
I think is a cool. Just like it's a cool thing

00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.180
to have that they put the detail in there. There

00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:05.479
wasn't bone. There wasn't whatever. It was just

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.240
five -pointed star, which might be for the drill.

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.319
I don't know. I didn't look at the tip of the

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.020
drill that closely, but it could have been echoing

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:14.159
the tip of it, which is really cool. But beyond

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.300
that, the slice looked really cool, and it was

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.259
really fun. Like, oh, cool, he's doing a slicer

00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:21.080
slugger or a slugger slicer, and I like that

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.080
a lot. And then when they show the kaiju dying,

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.000
laying on the ground dying and its eyes closing,

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.319
it was kind of sad, and it was kind of like a

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.169
somber moment and kind of like, huh. So he just

00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:31.729
killed this monster that was threatening people's

00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:36.430
lives and he had to do it so far. And it's good

00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:37.849
that he did it. But ultimately, you know, there

00:03:37.849 --> 00:03:41.930
is some sadness to the death of the kaiju. And

00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:43.069
it's just kind of interesting. I wonder what

00:03:43.069 --> 00:03:44.810
the themes are. I wonder what the themes are.

00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:46.229
I wonder how the story will be approached. I

00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:47.650
wonder how kaiju will be approached, especially

00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:49.990
in this world of awakening kaiju, I guess, that

00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:51.870
we're getting with Omega. And I'm very curious

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.050
to see what happens. Also, he was running around

00:03:54.050 --> 00:03:57.800
killing a bunch of babies. baby kaiju on that

00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.219
planet and like that was fine and that was fun

00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:02.939
and that looked really fantastic I think I can't

00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:04.659
tell the whole thing was CGI or if most of it

00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:06.759
was CGI and he was real but it looked really

00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.520
good the compositing was good that you know the

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.080
super the special effects of it were all excellently

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.259
done and it was really cool and I wonder what

00:04:14.259 --> 00:04:15.800
this bigger story is so we've got like a mystery

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.620
here we've got an interesting lead character

00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:20.439
we've got an interesting you know human helper

00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.639
slash co -lead in Kosei And I like what's going

00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.240
on in Omega so far. And I'm curious to see what

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.600
happens next. And I'm curious to see and know

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.459
and read what you thought about it. So leave
