the random CG balloon was wasted money.

"Let's make this showy!"
HOW DARE TAROU USE CAPTAIN MARVELOUS' LINE!? He's unworthy to speak those sacred words!

is the horse part of the new mech? and why is it called enemy fusion? that comes off as a strong hint.

I think more mecha need horses, but yeah, I guess they didn't want to animate the clusterfuck walking or running around with all its bits
It's a novel way of animating an otherwise un-walkable robo. For as downplayed as DonBro's mecha fights are, I do appreciate the efforts to do something new.

Yes burning the building down with the painting would be easier but it would cause so much unwanted destruction. Stealing the painting is a much cleaner way to accomplish the goal of burning the painting.

Haruka's probably one of the only characters where seeing the painter's request as the biggest compliment in the world and slapping him would both be completely in character. Granted, she hasn't slapped anyone in the show to my recollection, but still...

This was one of those episodes where it feels just awkward how how easily things could have been resolved (or at least made more interesting) by sitting down to talk. Being a Hitotsuki isn't great, certainly, but she did legally buy the painting as presented, and they could probably have agreed to knock the Hitotsuki out and give her the painting a lot earlier than they actually did. Speaking of the guest, I actually did a double take at just how formal her Japanese was. I guess it was the asking-for-help aspect, but I don't know if it's also a traditional phantom thief writing style or not? The robot was a little awkwardly placed, but I felt a little less weird about it since we got Jirou's mech in the midst of the episodic mid-season.

I mean the phantom thief trope overlaps with the gentlemen thief trope. The formality of the thief in all ways to contrast to the social transgressions of their actions

I think it's more of portraying her as a rich girl than the phantom thief aspect

Haruka has slapped Tsubasa and Jirou at 2 separate instances...
And she needs to slap all the other main male characters (including Sonoza, Sonoi, and Zenkaizer Black) in Donbrothers by the end of the series. The guys and Haruka both deserve the slapping scenes.

When Dynaman was in production they planned for one of the villains to be really beautiful, but because they set a really high bar for themselves, they had to end up changing that. In addition, the monster's skin name is a reference to the Dynamen's mentor, doctor Yumeno
