This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com
This is going ultra right now. I'm going to talk about Ultraman Regulus episode
five I
Thought this episode was really intense the emotional moments had me
Exclaiming and those fights were pretty slick if you ask me
What are your thoughts on Regulus while you're gathering them and preparing to send them to me?
I'm going to tell you the rest of what I thought about the episode by talking about a couple
things that I made note of so the first thing is
the double death dealing dude, so I can't remember this
Magma alien guy's name. Oh Vulcan. That's what it is Vulcan. Oh
He kills a couple of guys, and I thought wait a minute isn't that Floros and
Tubon and it wasn't and for some reason I mean they're kind of faceless, right?
I didn't realize it wasn't them and I thought man. He killed them both already
That's crazy how fast he killed them especially because they just did that you know double rider kick thing and everything right right guys anyway
So and it wasn't them it was you know snake dude and crane dude, so you know that's too bad
Although I wonder okay, so their elements snake is air crane is I'm sorry snake is water crane is air dragon is fire
tiger is
Lightning I believe which is that I?
I'm trying to figure out what they correspond to but those are the four elements that that they express together
so anyway
Yeah, so that was crazy how he killed like it was a grisly killing like he it was it was almost like be else fun
And we go on and like the sound design it was really gross there was all
Like stuff dripping in the ground as they were dying so that was kind of crazy
I wonder if he like hit him with poison and that was part of what was making all that gross sound
But that was pretty crazy
God you know they in the fight there the double rider brother guys are you know tiger and dragon are gonna take over
I should say for us and to bond are gonna take over and let them speak and
Regulus go take care of master allude and he's already dead
when they find him and DS is there acting like he's dying too and
He falls over, and I just thought this man is so dirty. He's so wrong. He's such a liar and
Wow now based on some stuff. I found out I don't think he's gonna get his comeuppance
I think they think he died here, and then it's gonna turn out later that he didn't and then he'll appear in another thing
Like one of the the ultra fight
Not fight uh the thing with absolute Tartarus like the the next one the destined crossroad
I think is what it's called
I think he's gonna appear in that and that stems from this story
Which is like first of all it's crazy that they layer the stories like that
But also like very infuriating because I want to see this guy get his comeuppance
But I guess you know he and Regulus will probably fight in that so I should probably watch that which I mean
It's making me want to watch it, so it's you know good on you super right?
But man yeah, I tried to save master, but I could do
Meanwhile he's got his power. You know
Hiding inside of him or whatever. Oh dirty dirty dirty anyway at least that's what I suspect
then
Vulcan comes along and the fight with between the brothers comes into the temple or whatever which by the way
Did you look at the background the background is awesome?
It's two hands two fists bumped up together golden fists you go look at it there if you don't see it
I'll put it as the audio
Thumbnail for yeah, I'll put it as the audio thumbnail or the audio only version thumbnail
I don't know if I'm gonna switch to one by one thumbnails
No, they don't work as well when you're sharing them on social media, so anyway
It'll be the regular one so the standard thumbnail for the video and for the post on mjwinterest.com
We'll not show this
But if you look at the audio only version of it which you can click on the link there where you can listen to it
It'll take you to
The you know pod cast distribution place you can see the thumbnail there
It's really cool really cool logo if you didn't notice it in the show so anyway
pretty cool, but anyway, so they they come in there the fight carries on in there and
he ends up killing both of them because he's gonna kill regulos and then they jump in front of him and
And yeah, that was you know that was touching and sad and I felt badly and like I like that
That's you one called them like his like failed student or whatever the dub for some reason wasn't here was the sub so I was
You know reading that so I'm pretty sure that's what he said and I just felt badly like man this regulos guy
He like can't catch a break. He's amnesiac
You know his friends from
L77 get killed and now is everybody he cares about from
D 60s getting killed and yeah, he's not doing too well
but it was definitely impactful and I was like, you know really feeling for the guy so that stinks and it just makes you want
Vulcan to be defeated and
That was good
so I like how they
basically tell regulos to calm down to not give into his emotions and
To communicate the Cosmo beast so he can inherit both which I didn't know you could inherit both
But I guess it is tied to a person's life force if they're dead then it's available, which is why
Your boy DS had to kill a Lude so that kind of makes sense
Anyway, it kind of makes sense, but it can't also kind of doesn't but I won't go into it now
So I'm I just I did think it was interesting and fun. So let's see next thing next thing next thing
Oh, yeah, so these he's fighting not only does regulos inherit the dragon and tiger
Cosmo beast spirits, but then somehow the crane and
Water snake come to him as well and they're floating around in these spheres
So I don't know if there's gonna be like weapons that he has and like from the preview we see that he's got those cool spiky
Gauntlets on and I was not
Gauntlets but like, you know wrist braces bracers, whatever and I thought oh, are these gonna turn into the braces?
I'd be so where's he gonna get the braces? He doesn't get the braces in this episode
Maybe it'll be at the very end who knows but like is he the inheritor of all of the Cosmo beast styles?
And if so, like, you know, does that mean there's nothing left over for Spica?
Does that mean there's nothing left over for Spica and if so, why that's kind of kind of weak
Weak sauce right there. I don't like that. But anyway
But if he anyway, I don't know I like the bracers and click look really cool
I kind of feel like he should get all four Cosmo beast, you know
Spirits commuting with him and then he can have bracers on his feet on his ankles and on his wrists
And I just think they'll look cooler and then he get it emit the powers from there to use them
We kind of like he did with the spheres the two orbs that he had
That was kind of a cool technique and I'd like to see more of it potentially
I like that he's fighting with their style, but then he can project their power to that's a lot of fun
It's very cathartic too for this fight because of how bad of a guy
Vulcan is and what he's taken from regalos this day
So anyway, that was the section about ghost buds and then this poison hand forbidden technique thing
so basically, I don't know I don't know why people do this but
Vulcan is happily gonna like, you know kill himself because
In the moments before he dies. He's going to have the power to destroy regular. So he thinks and
I mean, I honestly think it's like a cool thing. It's it's a cool
Bad bad guy thing that nobody should do
but it's interesting and it raises the stakes and it's it sends like a moral message and it sends like a
like a thematic message about what type of men these guys are and and what kind of
characters there what kind of cultures they come from like
You know the Cosmo beasts
Masters the Cosmo beast fighters so their fists are meant to protect people and obviously
The magma aliens do not feel the same way Vulcan believes that his poison hand as opposed to the I
don't know cosmic fist or whatever is meant for hurting and killing and destroying and that's
What it does best and it even does that to its own user whereas the Cosmo beast style their fists
In the context of that are for protection and healing and you know, keeping the peace and stuff and that's really cool
I mean was it their fists cry for peace was it peace or justice? I don't remember but anyway, that's cool. I really like that
I
Think that's all I have to say about this episode. I thought it was a lot of fun
Like I said, I thought it was intense and I really enjoyed it
So anyway, I am going to go ahead and get out of here until next time. I hope that you are well
