Ultraman Ginga 09 Released

Post by Yaiba »

This episode could be intense, turning the most veteran Warriors of Light, Ultraman and UltraSeven to darkness is a really good concept. Unfortunately, Misuzu's father wasn't really a very interesting character, so I can't really care about his conquest to rule over others. And to be frank, why was he given two Ultra dolls? One is enough to kick ass and it's unnecessary to switch between the two mid-fight. It's just an excuse to have both of them make an appearance in the show, and for the Hikaru to obtain another Ultra doll for plot purposes.

I just think the dark Ultra Brothers is a really good idea wasted because the story around it is underdeveloped due to budget constraints.

Though I like they paid tribute to original UltraSeven transformation scene, from the spinning lights in the eye lenses to the gradual transformation starting from the head downwards.

Alien Nackle should give the Dummy Dark Sparks to people one at a time so they don't kill each other.

So Grandpa has the Ginga mark also. And Jasyuline did absolutely nothing? They didn't even land a punch.

I think that's an apt description of the series as a whole.

I concur that. It's kinda obvious sinse Monster Galaxy that Tsuburaya is becoming less subtle in their push for merchandises. That in turn is a sacrifice in show quality.

The episode itself fails on the drama, works on the action. Only part that gets interesting is the conversation between Gramps and Taro. The old rumor about Gramps being an alternative version of Higashi Kotarou does have some merits to it, though ultimately not so.

Ugh, Ginga ultimately disappoints me. It had so much promise to it. The theme of dreams has a lot of room to grow, even if cliche. The idea of transforming into other Ultraman and even Kaiju definitely would work, as proven in Decade and Gokaiger. Lack of a team and teenage protagonists could have interesting results. With all that going of it, the show ultimately bombs on poor delivery on all fronts. The only good part about Ginga is the action and the new suits.
Spoiler
That, and return of Taro. Also, the commercial gave away the final moves

This episode seems to show that three people is too many to control a Kaiju.

If the Priest and Principal knew all along what was going on, why didn't they work with the kids from the onset?

And who's the Dark Lord? We don't really have a large cast to choose from.

Reason: I know you put it in spolier tag, but considering this is the biggest secret this series can offer I think it's better for viewers to learn that themselves when they watch the actual episode

"Biggest spoiler this series can offer"

I laughed because it's so true.

I have to agree with that too. Ultraman Dark and UltraSeven Dark could have been a great plot line. But in the end, it was just another episode.
