WEBVTT 00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:02.339 Coming over to Zeth's episode 12 was really interesting 00:00:02.339 --> 00:00:05.860 to me. I think it worked. I don't want to say 00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:07.040 it's peak. I don't want to say it's the best 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.019 episode of Zeth so far. But I do think it's a 00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:10.400 very effective episode for a couple of reasons. 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.380 One, I think it had great spectacle seeing the 00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:19.899 Nox Knight. in the fight was fantastic that suit 00:00:19.899 --> 00:00:22.940 is really cool it's very dynamic like nem uh 00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:25.199 and i'm sure everybody else was like nem shouting 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.859 it's a shiny zets and because that's exactly 00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:30.579 what he is and uh it's really cool it's really 00:00:30.579 --> 00:00:34.280 effective it works it definitely sells and uh 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.159 i don't know i don't know it's funny i don't 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.380 know if his design would be as effective had 00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.479 we started with him like if that was the actual 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:47.350 zet suit and then uh this darker um suit that 00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:50.250 zets has right now turned out to be the nox knight 00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:52.109 or whatever like if you swap them would it be 00:00:52.109 --> 00:00:55.130 as effective or not i don't really know um that's 00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:56.789 a kind of interesting thought experiment though 00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:58.030 let me know what you think about that would that 00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:00.729 if they'd been flipped would we be all wowed 00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:02.570 by this you know black and green like oh he looks 00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:04.349 like the original camera with his red highlights 00:01:04.349 --> 00:01:07.230 on him to uh kind of look for the nox knight 00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.890 if it was the current zetsuit or not um just 00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:11.870 something curious but i think what they did really 00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:15.170 nicely was they really balanced out the emotional 00:01:16.409 --> 00:01:21.769 revelations and the i guess the evolving lore 00:01:21.769 --> 00:01:24.849 and like the story is growing at the same time 00:01:24.849 --> 00:01:28.230 as we're seeing this revelation so um it's currently 00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:30.030 december 3rd you know christmas is on the way 00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:36.170 um i think around episode 13 or 14 is typically 00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.269 now when commentator shows will have some sort 00:01:39.269 --> 00:01:41.349 of big change or new form or whatever in order 00:01:41.349 --> 00:01:44.489 to help tell a story that sells toys hopefully 00:01:46.919 --> 00:01:52.040 Hopefully. And... Interesting. And, yeah, I think 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.379 that's what they've done here. They've really 00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:57.140 effectively sold the Nox Knight, and they've 00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:59.540 sold and deepened my interest in the capsums 00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:02.079 as a lore item, possibly as a toy. I don't really 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.760 collect toys, though, so that's not an issue 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.719 for me, but I could see people who do collect 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.739 toys saying, ooh, I definitely want, you know, 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:10.599 a capsum now. Barrier got cooler because it went 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.590 evil, or... You know, that caliber, that Buster 00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:16.169 caliber or whatever that Knox Knight has is really 00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:18.830 cool. I want one now or I want his belt or whatever. 00:02:19.030 --> 00:02:21.810 And I think that's really good because if your 00:02:21.810 --> 00:02:24.409 product, if your story can't sell to people, 00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:26.990 if you can't sell anything to people, if you 00:02:26.990 --> 00:02:28.710 can't sell the characters, if you can't sell 00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:32.430 its stakes and its drama, then it doesn't really 00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:36.870 matter what it does or what it has in it because 00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:38.969 it won't reach the audience who you want to reach. 00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:42.960 Similarly, these shows are. very much based on 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.360 telling uh selling toys rather um and i've been 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.219 arguing in my heart and soul mini series that 00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:50.099 i'm doing kind of investigating things about 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:52.500 how this all works that i think you need to sell 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.180 toys in order for the shows to continue to be 00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.379 successful as we see by super sentai going away 00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.020 and project red taking its place but trying to 00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:02.270 focus on this uh i mean with that context in 00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:03.830 my mind as i'm watching this episode i can't 00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:06.210 help but think of what a good job zets is doing 00:03:06.210 --> 00:03:08.430 of selling the show to me and selling the toys 00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:10.430 to me and making it look cool even little things 00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:14.289 like baku using the capsums in real life you 00:03:14.289 --> 00:03:16.610 know he's running around spinning that ball and 00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:18.189 making things happen making powers come out of 00:03:18.189 --> 00:03:20.189 them it's really cool and i've talked about it 00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:22.330 before how i don't like the capsums i have issues 00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:25.930 with them and yet seeing him use them as the 00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:27.610 face actor and seeing the face actor use them 00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:29.669 in scenes and having cool powers come out of 00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:32.449 them is really neat because it makes them more, 00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:35.669 I don't know why it works necessarily on a narrative 00:03:35.669 --> 00:03:38.990 level, but it does. But then additionally, I 00:03:38.990 --> 00:03:41.050 don't have it with me right now. I might dive 00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:47.449 too deep. Not Kaigan, but Icon. And I, you know, 00:03:47.449 --> 00:03:48.729 bring it out every now and then I hit the button 00:03:48.729 --> 00:03:50.710 and I get to hear it, you know, make its little 00:03:50.710 --> 00:03:52.330 jingle and whatever. And it makes me, I don't 00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:54.210 know, it's fun. It's fun. It gives me good memories 00:03:54.210 --> 00:04:02.349 of Combinator Ghost. And somehow. in the body 00:04:02.349 --> 00:04:06.250 of the show in whatever in the presentation of 00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:07.710 the show in the presentation of the stuff in 00:04:07.710 --> 00:04:11.370 the episodes they're making it work so that you 00:04:11.370 --> 00:04:13.610 running around as a kid pulling out your cap 00:04:13.610 --> 00:04:15.490 some and spinning it and making noises and stuff 00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:18.449 is going to delight you and excite you and be 00:04:18.449 --> 00:04:22.290 interesting to you and I just find it to be really 00:04:22.290 --> 00:04:24.509 curious. Actually, I find it to be a brilliant 00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:27.490 move that they're selling the toys with the show 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:29.050 and they're weaving it into the narrative because 00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:33.110 he's using them in the scenes and it's to great 00:04:33.110 --> 00:04:37.149 effect. It reminds me of the... They're not called 00:04:37.149 --> 00:04:38.790 buddy droids. That was from Forze, I believe. 00:04:38.910 --> 00:04:41.449 No, that was from GoBusters. Those were the food 00:04:41.449 --> 00:04:45.550 droids in Forze. I'm thinking about the... Memory 00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:47.550 gadgets? Yes, the memory gadgets from Kamen Rider 00:04:47.550 --> 00:04:49.009 Double. You had the little beetles. There was 00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:50.569 a couple beetles. There was a bat. There was 00:04:50.569 --> 00:04:52.930 a spider. There was these different gadgets that 00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:58.230 Shotaro used. And they worked, sort of. I didn't 00:04:58.230 --> 00:05:00.350 really understand. There's a scene in like the 00:05:00.350 --> 00:05:02.610 first, maybe it's the second episode where he's 00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:05.670 facing the magma and the Tyrannosaurus Rex memory 00:05:05.670 --> 00:05:10.329 where he activates his bat, which is a camera, 00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:12.750 and it flies around flashing and it like blinds 00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:14.910 the... It doesn't blind the dopant, or I think 00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:17.009 it blinds the big dopant, and he's able to get 00:05:17.009 --> 00:05:19.189 away, Shotaro is. And, like, I didn't really 00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:20.490 understand what was even going on in the scene 00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:23.810 when I originally saw it 10, 12 years ago, whatever 00:05:23.810 --> 00:05:26.790 it was, when I watched Double. And it's not because 00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:28.410 I'm an idiot, it's because it wasn't very clearly 00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:32.410 conveyed with the effects. It was a CGI effect, 00:05:32.550 --> 00:05:34.810 and just the way it was cut, the way it was edited, 00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:37.050 the way it was composited, maybe, it just didn't 00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:41.189 really sell it to me. I didn't really like it. 00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:42.709 And I thought, these gadget animals are dumb. 00:05:42.750 --> 00:05:44.089 They're inserting these things in here and they're 00:05:44.089 --> 00:05:45.410 trying to make them cool, but it's not working. 00:05:45.649 --> 00:05:46.910 And I think he's got like the stack phone and 00:05:46.910 --> 00:05:48.649 whatever. The best thing that he had was the 00:05:48.649 --> 00:05:51.110 watch, the spider watch that had the zip line 00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:53.889 in it because he uses it in like the, I feel 00:05:53.889 --> 00:05:55.170 like he uses it in the first episode. He doesn't 00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:57.709 use that very much often after that. But I feel 00:05:57.709 --> 00:05:59.470 like at one point he's holding Akiko, Shotaro's 00:05:59.470 --> 00:06:01.550 holding Akiko and like dangling down from something, 00:06:01.589 --> 00:06:03.029 which was really cool. I think they kind of used 00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:05.170 it to like avoid an attack of something, which 00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:07.500 like they. went up was like something was coming 00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:09.019 towards them and they went up so that it missed 00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:12.079 them which was pretty cool but um like the spider 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.120 is definitely my favorite of the memory gadgets 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.100 and i remember it all these years later um even 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:18.639 though i've only watched the show one through 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.699 one time um although i've seen the first two 00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:24.439 episodes maybe two or three times total um i 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.360 have a very i have a media brain so it works 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.720 for me anyway um but what i'm saying is in zets 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.579 are doing such a better job of integrating this 00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:34.800 uh right now I have it running episode 12 in 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.120 the background as I'm recording this. And by 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.620 the way, my interest would pop because I noticed 00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:41.379 a little detail of these little pins of circles 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:44.399 and triangles and squares on Nem, which I'll 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.100 talk about later in a short probably. And that 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.339 seems to be related to Nox and these little things 00:06:50.339 --> 00:06:53.100 he has on his collar, on his suit. And anyway, 00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:55.439 talk about that later. But right now I'm going 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.689 to focus on... I can't remember his name. Nox 00:06:58.689 --> 00:07:01.870 is Odaka? Odika? There's also Okita in Omega. 00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:04.470 Sorato Okita, I think. And then this guy's like 00:07:04.470 --> 00:07:06.410 Odaka. Anyway, a little confusing because the 00:07:06.410 --> 00:07:08.970 names are so similar, at least to my ear. And 00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:12.370 anyway, like we're getting all these revelations 00:07:12.370 --> 00:07:14.170 about him and we get to see this glimpse of the 00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:16.170 past of him and Fujimi working together and him 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:17.370 talking about the nightmares. And he talks about 00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:19.029 how he wants to be the only one who takes on 00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:21.029 the nightmares and like has to deal with them. 00:07:21.069 --> 00:07:23.670 He doesn't want his boss to have to like interact 00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.009 with the nightmares and like face the horror 00:07:25.009 --> 00:07:28.540 of them. And he has this faraway look, and the 00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:30.120 scene cuts, and we don't know what's going on 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.120 with him. But, like, there's a lot of interesting 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.660 stuff going on here. Even, like, Nazca is coming 00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:39.319 around to the idea that he could be out there 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.980 still, that maybe he's, like, Nem, he's missing, 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.600 he's asleep, he's whatever. And, like, he can 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.160 be saved, just like they think. I don't feel 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.519 like Baku has talked to the detectives about 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.569 it. But he's pledged to save her if he can. And 00:07:52.569 --> 00:07:54.509 now it seems like they have the idea that they 00:07:54.509 --> 00:07:56.329 want to save her, which I think is interesting. 00:07:56.410 --> 00:08:01.470 Hold on. So anyway, like that's all really big 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:02.769 deal stuff. And there's a lot of interesting 00:08:02.769 --> 00:08:04.110 stuff going on with the story. And then like 00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:06.029 Baku tries to go get more capsules and he can't. 00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:10.439 And Zero tells him some mumbo jumbo like. this 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.519 is linked to your subconscious and like if you 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.959 don't feel like you deserve this power or like 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.680 you have access to this power like if you're 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.420 not the right mindset to gain this power this 00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:22.939 time you won't gain this power and i don't really 00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:25.199 know what that means um and then at the same 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.319 time uh zero is holding the this like super form 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.519 capsule i assume um and he's wondering if he 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.399 should give it to him at the end of the episode 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.490 when uh And Baku's sister, Minami, yeah, she's 00:08:39.490 --> 00:08:41.730 Minami, comes in and sees him. And he's like, 00:08:41.809 --> 00:08:44.809 oh, my, I bet you want an explanation. She says, 00:08:44.909 --> 00:08:47.669 you're darn tootin', right? I want an explanation 00:08:47.669 --> 00:08:49.269 for what's going on. And he starts to explain 00:08:49.269 --> 00:08:51.990 to her, but then we cut away. And then also, 00:08:52.070 --> 00:08:54.090 at the end of the episode, we have, you know. 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.460 kind of it's cutting back and forth i think between 00:08:56.460 --> 00:08:58.519 these two scenes we have this amazing fight with 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.700 baku and nox and nox blows up the recovery capsule 00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:04.799 or no the barrier capsule which he shot once 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.460 earlier now he shot it a second time and then 00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:10.399 this phantom like uh zets comes out it's the 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.659 barrier form uh except it's using uh the barrier 00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:17.179 to better use it has little cgi barriers that 00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:18.980 float up on it one arm when it's holding it up 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:22.620 um as opposed to the big dumb props, which I 00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:25.120 don't like. I appreciate Tokusatsu should use 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.039 practical effects when they can. I wish the little 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.960 capstone shows his hands have little clear gel 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.720 things around them with the green color. Maybe 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.899 just give him things that he even... He sticks 00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:36.860 a hand and you can tell it's formed to fit to 00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.299 his hand, but he holds them up and they act as 00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:40.159 barriers, and he does that for the most part, 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:41.519 and then every now and then you just throw a 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.200 dome over somebody to say, oh, they're in a bubble 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.840 now, like they did when Barrier sort of debuted 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.399 before, when he protected Nem and Zero, the motorcycle, 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.220 in that one scene. um which was against mickey 00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:55.460 mold from i think one episode ago not two episodes 00:09:55.460 --> 00:10:02.179 ago anyway um so anyway i i have some issues 00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:03.460 with some of the design choices that they've 00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:04.980 made here but then you have like this like feral 00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:07.200 it almost reminds me of from kingdom hearts when 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.240 i remember it was kingdom hearts 2 every now 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.679 and then when you would use the alternate forms 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.740 for sora every now and then this gauge would 00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:15.139 build up in the background all of a sudden you'd 00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:16.639 switch into this like heartless mode or dark 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.250 mode or whatever and uh or it's like a shadow 00:10:19.250 --> 00:10:20.509 mode i can't remember what it was it's been a 00:10:20.509 --> 00:10:22.970 long time since i've played kh2 but anyway uh 00:10:22.970 --> 00:10:24.990 it reminded me of that that and he's fighting 00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:27.789 that and it's really interesting that like there's 00:10:27.789 --> 00:10:30.029 this idea that nox brings up that the capsums 00:10:30.029 --> 00:10:31.850 are and i talked about this in my my short my 00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:33.110 reaction to the episode which you should check 00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:36.929 out too um i'll have uh the blog post version 00:10:36.929 --> 00:10:38.769 of this all will have that linked to and integrated 00:10:38.769 --> 00:10:40.129 so you have to go searching around for it and 00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:41.830 that'll be linked in the pin comment here um 00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:45.850 probably in the description too anyway um he 00:10:45.850 --> 00:10:48.480 talked about the capsums being what It makes 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.740 nightmares possible. So that's a really bad Marty 00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:57.220 McFly impression. So it's interesting because 00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.279 I thought it would have been the other way around. 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.000 I don't want to belabor that point. You heard 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.259 that from me. If you want more insights, check 00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:06.279 out the short or the blog post. We'll have that 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.440 integrated into it as well. But yeah, it's really 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.860 fascinating. And like the idea that code is this 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:14.700 old organization also fascinates me. And I want 00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:16.440 to find out more. And I'm super intrigued. And 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.360 it's interesting because I also like the look 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.220 of the suit. So I like the captains more than 00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:23.240 I've ever liked them before. They matter. They 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.779 have stakes for the story. They have stakes for 00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:28.720 the lore. Nox is rooted in the lore even deeper. 00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:30.779 I care more about his story. I care about seeing 00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:32.500 him redeemed or saved somehow, which I usually 00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:34.360 just want villains to be killed. And that'd be 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.519 the end of it so that we don't have, you know, 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.080 sympathetic villains all over the place because 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.820 it's just too much. um and then also uh there's 00:11:40.820 --> 00:11:42.940 the thing with mako sister finding out and like 00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:44.419 there's a lot of beats and there's a lot it's 00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:46.139 a very rich episode and i feel like i could talk 00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:48.299 about it for like 30 or 40 minutes easily but 00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:50.279 i don't want to um i want to keep this under 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.000 control but like there's a lot going on here 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.139 and it was a really good episode very solid i'm 00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:55.720 just gonna say yeah it is the best episode so 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.289 far And it's amazing because it blends the toy 00:11:58.289 --> 00:12:00.230 selling aspect, the story selling aspect, and 00:12:00.230 --> 00:12:02.210 the character aspect of well. Like, I'm sold 00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:04.049 on these characters. I want to see what happens 00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:05.549 with their stories. I'm even more invested in 00:12:05.549 --> 00:12:10.330 them than I was before. And I like that suit. 00:12:10.769 --> 00:12:13.350 It's a great looking suit that Nox Knight has. 00:12:13.529 --> 00:12:15.350 And I'm interested to find out more about that 00:12:15.350 --> 00:12:16.990 and what implications it has because it says 00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:20.110 Knight System Initiate or something like that. 00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:23.490 So, like, what's the Knight System? Night system 00:12:23.490 --> 00:12:26.190 invoke I invoke I think anyway, like who came 00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:28.230 up with that. How old is code? How do they work? 00:12:28.370 --> 00:12:30.830 Did they weasel their way into Bacchus dreams 00:12:30.830 --> 00:12:34.590 or did he because Apparently he didn't create 00:12:34.590 --> 00:12:36.730 them like what does all this mean? Is he gonna 00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:39.350 be able to dream the recovery of the barrier 00:12:39.350 --> 00:12:41.990 capsule and the recovery capsule? Which is off 00:12:41.990 --> 00:12:43.429 the board not destroyed. I think I think it's 00:12:43.429 --> 00:12:47.419 still existing and but Knox has it like this 00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:49.120 episode gives a lot of answers and it creates 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.379 a lot more questions and it draws you in as the 00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:53.799 viewer and it does a really good job and it does 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.259 it with great visuals and great aesthetics and 00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:57.820 great effects and uh it was all very exciting 00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:01.299 and fun to see and like baku got to use the capstone 00:13:01.299 --> 00:13:03.200 in the real world like awake and he was able 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.259 to block off the um the car from hitting the 00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:09.159 kid and uh like that's cool too like that's expanding 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.740 i believe this is the first time we've really 00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:14.000 seen him do that in the real world i think i 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.480 mean he's used the gadgets which are powered 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.169 by capsules to some extent like the little camera 00:13:18.169 --> 00:13:20.750 tracker whatever i think he uses the before um 00:13:20.750 --> 00:13:24.149 but like this is the most explicit i think demonstration 00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:26.169 of his power being utilized like this in the 00:13:26.169 --> 00:13:29.710 real world and maybe that has to do with the 00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:31.669 cost that nox talked about from before a few 00:13:31.669 --> 00:13:33.570 episodes ago so it's like it's moving things 00:13:33.570 --> 00:13:35.529 forward and it's also connecting back to what 00:13:35.529 --> 00:13:37.289 came in the past so it's all internally consistent 00:13:37.289 --> 00:13:39.129 and all really rich and all really enjoyable 00:13:39.129 --> 00:13:42.009 and i'm really pleased i want you to say i'm 00:13:42.009 --> 00:13:44.690 enjoying it so much and it's very very good and 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.860 My hat's off to Yuu Takahashi for being a great 00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:49.840 creator, a great comrader. I think he's probably 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.519 my favorite comrader writer. I've only really 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.639 seen Kiva, and I haven't watched Agito, which... 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.879 What's his name? The controversial guy whose 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.500 daughter did Jojo, and whose dad worked on the 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:08.500 original Comrader. He holds a pitch like this, 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:13.500 I think. Anyway, whoever he is, I thought he 00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:15.389 was my favorite comrader writer. Because I think 00:14:15.389 --> 00:14:16.690 he even worked on Combinator Black, but then 00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:19.429 he worked on Kiva, I know for sure. And Agito, 00:14:19.509 --> 00:14:21.750 he may have done some Kuga writing as well. Anyway, 00:14:21.830 --> 00:14:22.929 it doesn't matter who he is right now. We'll 00:14:22.929 --> 00:14:25.309 talk about it more later when I have the data 00:14:25.309 --> 00:14:27.750 in front of me. And yeah, he was my favorite 00:14:27.750 --> 00:14:29.210 guy. But I think Yutaka, she's my favorite guy. 00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:31.409 I've seen all of X -Aid and all of Zero One. 00:14:31.570 --> 00:14:33.830 And now I'm watching this. And I think there's 00:14:33.830 --> 00:14:35.730 one more show that he did for sure that I should 00:14:35.730 --> 00:14:38.529 check out. But yeah, I mean, that gives me even 00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:39.789 more encouragement to check out his other work 00:14:39.789 --> 00:14:41.769 because this is so good. X -Aid was so good. 00:14:41.990 --> 00:14:45.779 And Zero One was really enjoyable as well. So, 00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:49.200 yes, I will end the review at this point. Please 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.500 check out the pinned comment. Check out my links 00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.659 to other stuff here. I'll have hopefully a playlist 00:14:54.659 --> 00:14:56.960 for all of my common resets coverage, a playlist 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.720 for all of my Omega coverage, maybe a third playlist 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:01.919 for my Heart and Soul series where I'm like... 00:15:02.169 --> 00:15:03.750 it's the henshin reflection series heart and 00:15:03.750 --> 00:15:05.509 soul is a sub series within it where i'm just 00:15:05.509 --> 00:15:07.490 like talking about the tokusatsu industry and 00:15:07.490 --> 00:15:09.230 storytelling and different things like that in 00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:10.929 a different way it's not a review episode it's 00:15:10.929 --> 00:15:12.649 not an episode review it's more of like a thing 00:15:12.649 --> 00:15:14.250 about tokusatsu and henshin heroes specifically 00:15:14.250 --> 00:15:17.980 and discussing them and doing it in a little 00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:20.519 bit of a higher way, a more exalted way, because 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.840 that's fun kind of stuff that I enjoy. And there's 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.279 room for speculation and conversation there, 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.600 which I would like you to participate in. Check 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.820 out my short from before, and then I'm sure I'm 00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:30.919 going to have other thoughts. So I'll probably 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.500 have at least, well, I have at least one more 00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:35.080 other short idea that I came up with while recording 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:36.840 this that I want to talk about later. So look 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.620 forward to that as well. That's it for now. Until 00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:41.600 next time, folks, take care. This is MJ signing 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.019 off with Henshin Inspection and Writer Tears. 00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:47.000 be well and don't make nightmares come true okay 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.759 it's not a good thing it's a bad thing
