00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Welcome back to Going Ultra. This is Going Ultra episode 14, sort of.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Ultra Looper, where I'm covering Ultraman Zet episode 14, which is not a clip show,

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
but it is a little bit of a weird show with reused footage. So, it's an original show, original episode,

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,000
however it has clip show elements, and it's part of this weird three-part, I don't know, deconstruction

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000
of Ultraman as a superhero who uses lethal force on Kaiju who are, you know, living sentient beings.

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And yeah, so anyway, join me for a discussion of this episode of Ultraman Zet, which features

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Tuna, Time Loops, and Toughness. This episode got me a little misty, and I'll tell you why as I talk

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
about that deconstruction that I mentioned earlier. So, starting off with a light topic first.

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Boss Bako happens again. I don't know why this man is so charismatic, but he is, and I love, like,

11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
one, I think the actor's performance is very charismatic. I thought it in the original, I think, you know,

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
the voice actor does a good job matching him, I like it anyway, and it totally works for me.

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000
And it's weird that this guy is displaying all these talents and all this ability and all this coolness.

14
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
You know, he's just like a regular old mechanic guy who's, you know, in his 60s or whatever,

15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
and he's just working around all these, you know, kits. And I don't know if it's because he's older than them,

16
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and Japan has a more of a culture of respect for elders than the United States has at least on the surface it does.

17
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And so I don't know if it's that or if it's something else. Maybe it's just they wanted to do something like this

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
in the show with this Bako character, and everybody did a good job at it because all the young people

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
seemed super excited by this old guy doing his stuff, and he, it's almost like he's doing it tongue in cheek,

20
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
like he knows he's being like kind of a silly old man, but at the same time it's kind of a badicle,

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000
to borrow a term from Keith Hayward from Henge and Justice Unlimited. So that's really interesting,

22
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and I like it. I love the, I ask that you taste my tuna, which sounds inappropriate or weird a little bit

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
until you know the context of it, that this guy's making sushi, and when everybody asks him how he knows how to do that,

24
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
he says, it's just something I picked up along the way. And he does that with his magic tricks,

25
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
and you know, I don't know if you remember this, but when, oh who was it, oh man, when that pirate,

26
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
that space pirate, Barossa, alien Barossa had infiltrated storage, he ended up basically saving the day

27
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
with a little bit of help from Haruki, but the old man did it mostly on his own, which is awesome.

28
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
So anyway, I love this guy. He's so cool, so charismatic, so fun, and it's not just that he's fun,

29
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:10,000
he's also like a mentor character, he's mentored Yuka and Haruki a bit. Yoko likes him, but she's old,

30
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
and she's into old dudes. Which you know, if you look at what an old man, an older guy can offer you

31
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
versus a younger guy, you might say, and of course depending on the age range, you might say,

32
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
you know what, I'm going to go with the guy who has more status, more wisdom, more capability, more money,

33
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
more maturity, and these young punks who don't know how to treat a woman, why would I go with them?

34
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Anyway, that's not the focus of the show. There were some good gags and funny moments, like

35
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Hibikura has said on at least two occasions that he had to go to the bathroom for something,

36
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
and in this I didn't check the subs, or the subversion of it, but in this he says, like,

37
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
oh I gotta go take a pee break, to Yuka, and she tells him, TMI! Which was a really funny moment,

38
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
and then he ends up in the bathroom, because of this fourth dimensional shenanigans going on,

39
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:07,000
that, well anyway, I don't really care how Celebro got that Kaiju to do whatever it does,

40
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
but he ends up in the bathroom, and he's about to leave, and he's transformed, he untransforms,

41
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
or turns back, he re-transforms into a human form, and he's about to leave, and he says,

42
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000
well I'm here, and he goes to the urinal and pees, and that is such a weird, quirky, sort of edgy moment,

43
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
or whatever, for a kid's show, it really caught me, and it was funny, it was funny,

44
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
but of course understanding the differences between our culture and Japanese culture,

45
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
like in Kamen Rider Kiva, the main character ends up bathing with a couple men, and they show it,

46
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
and it's like, they're sitting in the bathtub in his home together, and it's like no big deal,

47
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
which is, again, sounds a little ludicrous, but you know, what's the difference between that and sitting in the hot tub?

48
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I think it's kind of the equivalent of that, now that seeing somebody pee is the equivalent of being in a hot tub,

49
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
but you know, I didn't like going to baseball stadiums as a kid for a certain reason, and it, you know,

50
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I'm okay now, but it's common, it's common, you would see that.

51
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Anyway, moving on from that, so the psychological time loop thing is super interesting,

52
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
again, I don't really understand the nature of that Kaiju, I didn't even catch its name,

53
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
but it's the, you know, fourth dimension thing, with the weird like,

54
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
it looks like it's probably based off of an original Ultraman Kaiju, I don't know that for sure,

55
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
if not the original, then probably one of the earlier, second or third series,

56
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
because it has giant like industrial from a kitchen spinners,

57
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
that you would stick into a thing for mixing cake batter or whatever, like,

58
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I can imagine those, which are, I don't know, 40 inches long, being attached to something,

59
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
and it's a, you know, 30 or 50 gallon bowl, that holds all this batter,

60
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
and it mixes that stuff up, that's exactly what it looks like this crazy thing has,

61
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
but anyway, it inflicts this time pocket dimension reality bubble thing,

62
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
on the storage facility, and messes them up, and, you know, it was interesting,

63
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Celebro said something like he's not satisfied with their development, or something like that,

64
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000
I don't know if he's, it seems very strange, because he could have been using that opportunity to kill them,

65
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
but he didn't seem to want to kill them, he seemed to want to disperse some sort of development with them,

66
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and I don't know how, or if, I mean maybe just witnessing things, he realizes that something's going on with Ultraman,

67
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
but then that would also imply that he knows that Ultraman is somebody at storage,

68
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I hadn't thought that through yet, but anyway, he seems like he wants to disperse something on,

69
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
but maybe it's not Zet or Haruki's development, and I don't know, resolution resolve,

70
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,000
that he's trying to fix or repair, maybe it's something with the actual storage group,

71
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
and their robots, or you know, King Joe, that's an interesting concept,

72
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:05,000
oh, also, super interesting, super sad, that Sevenger is being, sort of putting them all to be a display unit,

73
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,000
while Windom and King Joe will be the standard roster,

74
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I don't know why they wouldn't opt for having 3 mech, but they're going with just the two,

75
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,000
SAA, which is what, Special Armored Airborne Vehicles, or whatever, anyway,

76
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
so that's kind of interesting, it was a sad moment in the beginning of the episode,

77
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
but getting more into the psychological loop, I'm trying to get out of my own psychological time loop,

78
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
it was interesting to me that the thing that determined the characters getting looped through these situations,

79
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
was their mindset, and I have no idea if any of that stuff that Yuka was talking about is actual theoretical stuff,

80
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
but from a narrative structure alone, having your mindset be what limits you,

81
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
and what keeps you locked into a certain place, is brilliant and beautiful, and it reminds me of this awesome scene,

82
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:03,000
from, it's Evangelion on music, it's an anime, it's called, oh dear dear me grandma, what is it called?

83
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Rosiphon, Rosiphon, Rosiphon, Rosiphon, oh, what a show, one interesting, weird, quirky, crazy show,

84
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
I probably watched it about three times, the last time I watched it, I dearly remember the line,

85
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
and it struck me so hard, the main character whose name I can't remember right now, says,

86
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:32,000
which is, he was stuck on the other side of the barrier, and I've talked about this on other reviews or podcasting that I've done for other stuff,

87
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000
because this concept, I love it so much, and it's baked into this, it's connected to this, you'll see,

88
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
he's stuck on the side of this barrier, he's stuck on one side of this barrier, and he wants to get to the other side of the barrier,

89
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,000
and eventually he's able to, and then he realizes, or he learns the truth, that the barrier was never really a barrier at all,

90
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000
and instead the barrier was in his mind or his heart, because he presupposed that he couldn't get through the barrier,

91
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,000
therefore he was unable to, and once that knowledge and that mindset has shifted in himself, he's able to get through,

92
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
and he laughs to himself, and he says, the barrier was inside of me the whole time, or something along those lines.

93
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
I can't find, I want to find that episode, rip the clip, you know, get the video, get the audio, because it's just, it's so great,

94
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
and maybe you had to be there in the context of the show to really get it, but it is fabulous,

95
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
and it's something I want to archive and document, because I think it's really beautiful and meaningful in a, you know, crazy show

96
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:41,000
about Mayan Mecca and aliens and weird stuff, anyway, but it reminds me of that, because Yoko had to get herself through,

97
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,000
she was feeling doubtful, and Haruki was feeling even more doubtful about their place in the world, and you know,

98
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000
using the Mecca and fighting and killing and what not, but they had to get past that, and they did, they each did,

99
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,000
she found her resolve, she's already ahead of Haruki like I've mentioned before, she's ahead of Haruki in her development,

100
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,000
and he's farther behind, but he's getting there by gum, and he's, you know, working on developing it,

101
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:12,000
and this episode propels him to do that, and it's just such an awesome idea that it's set up for that,

102
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
that this episode is set up for that purpose, and that it comes at this time, like obviously, the people making the show

103
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:24,000
made it in an order, so that they could have this sort of, like I said, deconstruction of Ultraman as a, you know,

104
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000
a filler superhero kind of guy, and I really find it fascinating that, what is it, 11, 12, 13, 14,

105
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
like these four episodes over the course of them, we get to see this slowly developed, and you know,

106
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
I mistakenly thought, oh, I love that one thing in Zet with the Red King and all that stuff,

107
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
but really, it's this whole suite of episodes that works together as I guess an arc of like,

108
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,000
questioning what it is to be a hero, and like, it's amazing, it's amazing, I love it,

109
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
but anyway, just that conceit is a really cool one. I'm gonna move on real quick, you know,

110
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Hebi Kura as Juggler is running around, he goes outside, he kind of stops, oh man,

111
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
he kind of stops, well, Celebro, but he kind of doesn't, and he tells him he doesn't want to interfere,

112
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
he just wants to push him off today so they can have the celebration, so it's like he's attached to the storage people,

113
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
but he's not, he's somewhat distant, it's a very strange thing, and who knows if that's just him being tricky,

114
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
so that he can get an upper hand on Celebro and like figure out what to do to stop everything,

115
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
it's strange, and then at the end of the battle, which he's outside to witness,

116
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
somehow he's outside again to witness the battle, he like turns away from it and like, oh, that was fun to watch,

117
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
like, I don't know, like, is that mocking people who are into the stuff, is it, like, I didn't even know what that means,

118
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I didn't even know what that means, but it's an interesting moment, and it's just adding a little bit more

119
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
to this interesting character in Juggler who I enjoy very much in the show.

120
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,000
So, I already talked about the Eldritch Enemy, which was this weird, I don't know, like sea cucumber,

121
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
like, I don't know, what's that Pokemon that looks like, you know, Sheldon, I don't know, something like that,

122
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I talked about him enough, weird, crazy, cool, interesting.

123
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Also, this reminds me of the episode of Evangelion where, because I've drawn a lot of comparisons to Evangelion

124
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,000
and Zet specifically, where there's that flat shadow, it's like the zebra, there's like, there's like a shadow on the ground

125
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
and a thing above it, but the shadow is the real thing, is the real substance, and the thing up in the air

126
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
that looks like it has form is actually the shadow of it, so it's like an inverse of reality.

127
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,000
And that thing has all sorts of crazy, like, mind, I can't say that on a show, like, mind-bending

128
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
type of stuff going on with it too, I believe, I believe.

129
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Anyway, but that's the kind of show Evangelion was, so anyway.

130
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
I love it, the, oh man, Righteous Fury or Heroic Resolve, what did I talk about first?

131
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Okay, so, Haruki got to go back and meet his dad.

132
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
That moment in the show where we saw Kid Haruki playing with his dad, and his dad is down that hill

133
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
for so long getting the ball, scared me so much, I mentioned this before.

134
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
I mean, not literally scared me, but just like, narratively like, oh no, what's gonna happen?

135
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
What are they gonna do to Haruki? What's gonna happen to his dad?

136
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:14,000
And it turns out that his dad meets his son in the future somehow through this crazy time loop thing

137
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:21,000
that's going on, where Haruki somehow, through the cursed blessing, or blessing, blessed curse

138
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
of this kaiju that he's fighting, gets to go back in time and see his father one more time.

139
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,000
The man who died protecting him, the man who he thought he killed in the visage of the Red King.

140
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
I talked about this before, I'm not gonna expand on it.

141
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I'll go back to that episode to see exactly what I'm talking about.

142
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
The man who inspired him to be a hero, and who inspired him to save people,

143
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
because he was willing to effectively abandon his wife and son in order to save other people.

144
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:56,000
And I don't know if there's some sort of unresolved, like, anger or frustration that Haruki has with his dad.

145
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Sorry lady.

146
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And like, that's something that's being played on here, or if it's just that he's inspired by his father

147
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
or what his dad was willing to do, and like, the good of it.

148
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
I don't even know if that's an element of it or not. That like, conflict maybe.

149
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,000
But he definitely knows that he's not the man his dad is, and he aspires to that.

150
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And coming face to face with him, with his ghost, with his alive self after he thought he'd killed him,

151
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:36,000
and having that chance to touch him, to shake hands, and to look into his eyes, and to...

152
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I don't know. Like, have that moment to...

153
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
I don't know, meet that hero, meet that person who inspired him.

154
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
It added like a redemptive value to it, because like, I don't know, instead of hurting...

155
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I don't know, it's crazy. It's crazy to me, because it's really impactful, really emotional,

156
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
and I don't quite understand the mechanics of it. Is it like, he killed...

157
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
When he killed the Red King, it was like he was the Kaiju who killed his father.

158
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And now that he gets to meet him in the past, and shake hands with him and talk to him about how he deals with the inability to be a perfect hero,

159
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000
and the inevitable failure that you will let some people down, you will have to hurt and kill some to save many more.

160
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
You know, some guilty parties, not innocent parties, it's not what we're talking about.

161
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
This isn't the trolley dilemma. This is actual, there's somebody aggressing and trying to murder people,

162
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
and you're stopping them by killing them with lethal force.

163
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
How do you live with yourself when you do that?

164
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And the answer that his father gives him, like, frees him from his guilt and from the trauma of what happened.

165
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:49,000
And it enables him to form the resolve to go back and to do his best, to give his most to save whoever he can.

166
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And I'm just repeating from the show now, paraphrasing, and to etch into his heart and his soul the memories of those who he failed

167
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
and those he had to destroy in order to do that.

168
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And wow, it's just beautiful. It's absolutely gorgeous.

169
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:13,000
And then it's almost ironic, after that he is able to escape, he's able to transform, he's able to...

170
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:20,000
He becomes, not Red King, not Red Man either, he becomes Beta Smash.

171
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:32,000
And he uses all of his might and all of his muscle and all of his fury to rip those batter spoon mixer thingies,

172
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:40,000
the batter beaters, rip those out of the Kaiju, and eventually destroy him with the same slash

173
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
with that powerful cyclone weapon or whatever that he used to kill the Red King.

174
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
I don't even know how to articulate how much I love that and how good it is and how cathartic and healing that is

175
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
and how beautiful and good and useful it is and how entertaining it is to see him go through this arc to have the question raised,

176
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
dealt with, examined, and finally answered, that you have to do the best you can.

177
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And it doesn't make you evil, it doesn't make you wicked, it doesn't make you not a hero if you have to go to these certain measures

178
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
if you're doing it with the right heart and if you're doing it with the right intention.

179
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Not that it all comes down to, don't matter as long as intentions are good, that's not what I'm saying

180
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
and you're being uncharitable if you want to accuse me of saying that.

181
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
But it's having compassion and understanding for people on both sides of the matter.

182
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And it's super interesting. I absolutely loved it.

183
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
This might be my favorite episode, I don't know. It's weird, but I like it a lot.

184
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,000
I'm going to wrap it up there. I went for a lot longer than I thought I would.

185
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
So I'm going to go ahead and stop myself here and I thank you for your time and attention.

186
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,000
I encourage you to go check out the Ava and the Grow Bug children's picture book manuscript

187
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
that I'm going to post on the website on mjmunoz.com.

188
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
I will also put an audio version over there if you don't want to read it with your own eyes,

189
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
if you want to listen to it with your ears, you can do that too.

190
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I'm going to have it in the notes there and it will probably be in my story over everything book, author, podcast feed thing too,

191
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
which I will link in the show notes for that episode special.

192
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Not on the audio only, but on the actual website. But the audio only will link to that.

193
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Maybe I'll throw it in there too, just for fun this one time.

194
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Anyway, that's it. This is MJ signing out.
