Yes yes, eat these disgusting cubes

I keep seeing stuff about Agents mentioned, but I feel like this is the first time I've noticed them. Is Jeebh's actor really male? Sounds female

I really want Shouma to have a Wonka like adventure for his movie

Ripping open a pcakage and spilling the contents really sucks. Is Soda Gummys really a wagashi though?

I've never played a yakuza game but I'm getting those kind of vibes from this character

lol, did Shouma really use all his paycheck on candy instead of food? Oddly enough, there are no new entries from last week. So did he really just eat orange and potato chip snacks this whole time?

Is he named Hanto because he's a hunter? I'm a bit disappionted that Hanto's boss isn't anything like the stoic Kanou from Amazons. That character was fantastic

Wait his candy oompa loompas can do all the cleaning? How is this guy always out of work every week?

So two of the main characters and a semi regular just already know each other? Feels weird in episode 3

Hanto's pics are terrible. i can't tell what's going on in them

Man what a pretty park they're filming in

Is that the donut truck repainted?

I do hope they sell the creepy real mouth gavvs for the bad guys. It's just cool looking

So this is a new bag of gummys? He tore the bag from the beginning of the episode in half. /me squints. These bags are just one flavor each? You'd think the different colors meant different flavors of gummys
let's see. Yeah these are all grape, but they're all purple

So he should have had this flavor of gummy before

Why are they calling it soda instead of Ramune? is that trademarked? Luna, how nasty is actual Kamen Rider Gummys?

Does she have a second male voice because her second stomach also talks? Did all the previous guys have that, since I probably didn't notice because they were both male

I like Hanto's jacket. Hanto, don't just assume all good guys are human. Sachika really is Hanto's info source lol

Oh, Luna pointed this out in chat. Whenever Shouma does a form change he's in a snack wrapper bag

lol, why'd he change into popping gummy form? Is it just so we can showcase his battle damage?

Wow so wet and juicy. Are we in a Gummy cm? There's that good fight music

Hey SHouma, how are you cranking your belt with your giant fist?

From above? Feel like a sideway attack would have been cooler? lol shouma, work on your action hero lines

who the hell is this guy? Is this guy a wonka?

Edit: Calling it now, Hanto's boss is the Granuto that killed his mom

Edit 2: The actor for the Wonka guy is the voice actor for Zyuran >.>

Ripping open a pcakage and spilling the contents really sucks. Is Soda Gummys really a wagashi though?

Wagashi is a very specific term, gummies don't fall under it. I suspect we may see a wagashi power-up form later though? Daifuku would be fun

Why are they calling it soda instead of Ramune? is that trademarked? Luna, how nasty is actual Kamen Rider Gummys?

Ramune is a generic term so it's not trademarkable. I don't know why they chose soda over ramune.

The stores near me haven't gotten Gavv candy in yet but assuming they haven't changed their flavor from previous years, the KR gummies are pretty standard, nothing exceptional.

I keep seeing stuff about Agents mentioned, but I feel like this is the first time I've noticed them.

they were the ones chasing Shouma in the Crazy Stairs dimension at the start of episode 1, as well as taking the captured humans from the first enemy before he went on to attack Hajime because he wanted more of the evil candy cubes.

Is Jeebh's actor really male? Sounds female

as far as I can tell, yes. here's his twitter: https://x.com/ruikururu

lol, did Shouma really use all his paycheck on candy instead of food? Oddly enough, there are no new entries from last week. So did he really just eat orange and potato chip snacks this whole time?

was there any kind of timestamp or anything said that indicated it'd been a week in-universe? or is it possible this is just the same day the previous episode ended on?

Wait his candy oompa loompas can do all the cleaning? How is this guy always out of work every week?

given how easily he was taken advantage of to break into someone's house here, he was probably so sheltered his whole life he doesn't know how to get by in the world, so he doesn't know how to actually get work beyond someone saying "hey, I have a job for you."

So two of the main characters and a semi regular just already know each other? Feels weird in episode 3

feels fine to get it out of the way early. would feel weirder if we get several episodes in, and then suddenly "oh, btw, these two knew each other the entire time, and we just contrived reasons for them to never meet up."

So this is a new bag of gummys? He tore the bag from the beginning of the episode in half. /me squints. These bags are just one flavor each? You'd think the different colors meant different flavors of gummys
let's see. Yeah these are all grape, but they're all purple

So he should have had this flavor of gummy before

I think it's the same bag, with like one or two gummies that just barely didn't go flying out when he tore it open. as for all being the same flavor, that's the Kamen Rider Gummy that's all the same, but this is a generic gummy snack, and those often come in bags of mixed flavors. back in episode 1, this same in-universe brand had both grape and orange in the same bag, because he had both when Hajime first brought them to him.

as for him not having that flavor before, might've just been unlucky enough to get bags that didn't have them. I've had plenty of fruit snacks in the past where it's assorted flavors, and a bag just plain doesn't have one or two of them.

Why are they calling it soda instead of Ramune? is that trademarked?

possible spoilers for a future episode, but one of the toys/other stuff you can already buy for Gavv comes with a Gochizo in the style of the chip ones, where it's two doors on the front that open sideways, and it's explicitly ramune candy.

Does she have a second male voice because her second stomach also talks? Did all the previous guys have that, since I probably didn't notice because they were both male

the others seemed to have the same voices in both forms, so if I had to guess, she has a second voice either because she's actually a male monster and the tech they use to disguise themselves gave them a female disguise, or it's still a female monster, but Toei didn't want a female voice coming out of a monster that didn't look overtly feminine?

Oh, Luna pointed this out in chat. Whenever Shouma does a form change he's in a snack wrapper bag

yeah, I noticed that back in episode 1. thought it was really neat. given the chocolate ones look more like boxes than bags, I'm curious if he'll still be in a bag the first time he uses one of them or if it'll be a box shape.

lol, why'd he change into popping gummy form? Is it just so we can showcase his battle damage?

probably to absorb the force of the spikes being launched at him?

who the hell is this guy? Is this guy a wonka?

I think he introduced himself as a Granuto researcher? curious how many "normal" people know anything about what's going on.

Edit: Calling it now, Hanto's boss is the Granuto that killed his mom

I was honestly surprised he didn't get revealed as, or at least hinted to be, a Granuto in episode 1. the way he adjusted his pants as he was suggesting that lady Hanto talked to might've killed her husband, I half expected the camera to ominously give him a closeup after Hanto ran off.

Edit 2: The actor for the Wonka guy is the voice actor for Zyuran >.>

oh, neat. I wondered why he seemed familiar.

>Wagashi is a very specific term, gummies don't fall under it. I suspect we may see a wagashi power-up form later though? Daifuku would be fun

I really want to see someone eating a moon cake. It's my seasonal treat, I want some representation!

>Ramune is a generic term so it's not trademarkable. I don't know why they chose soda over ramune.

but it's the same flavor right? Cause otherwise I would assume soda would be cola flavor, which probably will be a different powerup later

>The stores near me haven't gotten Gavv candy in yet but assuming they haven't changed their flavor from previous years, the KR gummies are pretty standard, nothing exceptional.

I guess it'd be pretty hard to fuck up gummys

>they were the ones chasing Shouma in the Crazy Stairs dimension at the start of episode 1, as well as taking the captured humans from the first enemy before he went on to attack Hajime because he wanted more of the evil candy cubes.

Oh, I didn't notice the go-between was an agent. Wait, why'd glasses guy get one cube for four humans. This lady turned in like 5-6 and got way more

>was there any kind of timestamp or anything said that indicated it'd been a week in-universe? or is it possible this is just the same day the previous episode ended on?

Sachika's friend said "it was last week" and I assumed it must have taken him a week to use up his wages on candy. In general super hero time happens in real time with rare exception like a two-parter

>feels fine to get it out of the way early. would feel weirder if we get several episodes in, and then suddenly "oh, btw, these two knew each other the entire time, and we just contrived reasons for them to never meet up."

Sure, but it feels like this should be part of establishing these characters. It's weird to find out that these two characters that we've been following for a couple episodes already knew each other in episode 3

>as for him not having that flavor before, might've just been unlucky enough to get bags that didn't have them. I've had plenty of fruit snacks in the past where it's assorted flavors, and a bag just plain doesn't have one or two of them.

Oh you're right. If you look at the bag in ep one there's only grape and orange flavors. That's pretty damn weird if there's like only three flavors in a bag though lol

I was wondering if the human form is based on the human victims they eat. That'd be very much Komura cannibalizing on her Lupat concepts though

[Lunagel]

>Wagashi is a very specific term, gummies don't fall under it. I suspect we may see a wagashi power-up form later though? Daifuku would be fun

Moon cakes also don't fall under the wagashi umbrella, they're Chinese!

>Ramune is a generic term so it's not trademarkable. I don't know why they chose soda over ramune.

Teeeeechnically yes they're the same flavor. Historically Ramune was lemonade but over the years it's morphed into a pretty boring base soda flavor. However, soda and cola are two distinctly different flavors and are marketed as such. I recently just bought two bags of gelatin dessert snacks for obento lunch and one was soda flavored, one was cola.

>The stores near me haven't gotten Gavv candy in yet but assuming they haven't changed their flavor from previous years, the KR gummies are pretty standard, nothing exceptional.

I guess it'd be pretty hard to fuck up gummys

they're literally the same gummies as the precure or anpanman ones. They have the same size packaging and everything, the only difference is the shape and flavor (precure ones are strawberry(?iirc) but anpanman are grape too)

>they were the ones chasing Shouma in the Crazy Stairs dimension at the start of episode 1, as well as taking the captured humans from the first enemy before he went on to attack Hajime because he wanted more of the evil candy cubes.

Shitty quality?

[takenoko]

>Moon cakes also don't fall under the wagashi umbrella, they're Chinese!

Shouma's not wagashi powered he's okashi!

So soda flavored is just ramune?

if I had to guess, it's a quality thing? the lady probably got much better quality happiness, so she gets a bigger reward?

>feels fine to get it out of the way early. would feel weirder if we get several episodes in, and then suddenly "oh, btw, these two knew each other the entire time, and we just contrived reasons for them to never meet up."

Sure, but it feels like this should be part of establishing these characters. It's weird to find out that these two characters that we've been following for a couple episodes already knew each other in episode 3

being fair, we're still in the character establishment section, right? we're mostly focusing on Shouma, so we're getting everyone else a little bit at a time. better this than frontloading all the character info immediately and then doing nothing with them for several episodes until we remember we're supposed to have an overarching plot.

I was wondering if the human form is based on the human victims they eat. That'd be very much Komura cannibalizing on her Lupat concepts though

their disguises seem to be tied to them plugging in the USBs, so here's the questions I have:

1) do they design their disguises, or does it just spawn a disguise for them and they have to live with it?

2) whether their human disguise is designed or random, is the disguise in the tech wired into their mouths/the belt the one Stomach sibling used in episode 2, and activated by plugging in a USB, or is it in the USB, and if someone else uses your USB do they turn into your disguise? like, could one Stomach sibling disguise themselves as another in the future for corporate espionage? or could we run into a Granuto with two different disguises for some reason?

part of why I think it might be in the USBs is because there's the parallel where the Granuto disguise themselves as humans by plugging it into their gavvs and reveal their true forms by taking it out, while Shouma plugs a gochizo into his gavv to assume a Granuto form and reveals his true form by taking them out, and since Shouma can "change appearances" and thus have different Granuto forms by using different gochizo, could a Granuto have multiple "human" forms?

[Lunagel]

>Moon cakes also don't fall under the wagashi umbrella, they're Chinese!

Shouma's not wagashi powered he's okashi!

Moon cakes are kind of in limbo because they're only available in stores in September-ish so while they're okashi, they don't immediately spring to mind as okashi because they're more of a seasonal food.

>Teeeeechnically yes they're the same flavor. Historically Ramune was lemonade but over the years it's morphed into a pretty boring base soda flavor. However, soda and cola are two distinctly different flavors and are marketed as such.

So soda flavored is just ramune?

https://note.com/shakao/n/n2f0215e79b74

This guy tried a bunch of soda/ramune flavored snacks and his final conclusion that although the taste is the same, soda flavored things tend to be more fizzy, ramune tends to be stronger flavored.

[takenoko]

I like that it's become such an ambiguous thing that someone has to test it to find out lol

I know it's pretty niche, but I still think a moon cake power up would be cool. Maybe bring it out around Chinese New Year or something

I'm pretty confused by the belts. I see Nyelv has a weird triangle belt. The part timers appears to have the mouth belts. Not sure what the wolf Granuto had besides it looks like a normal mouth Gavv. Why does Shouma's Gavv look completely different from everyone else's besides it being a product thing?

I'm pretty confused by the belts. I see Nyelv has a weird triangle belt. The part timers appears to have the mouth belts. Not sure what the wolf Granuto had besides it looks like a normal mouth Gavv. Why does Shouma's Gavv look completely different from everyone else's besides it being a product thing?

the three MotW Granuto we've seen so far seemed to have wiring in their mouths, plus the whole disguise USBs, so maybe they're all cyborgs? and the stomach family gets special belts because they're important villains?

as for Shouma's, best guesses are:
a) if they ARE all cyborgs, maybe he's had a lot more intensive work done?
b) if our assumption that he's half human is correct, maybe that's just a weird way that gavvs form for half-humans?
c) alternatively, maybe it's a combo of a and b, being half human conflicts with the Granuto part of his biology, and he NEEDS to have a gavv for his Granuto biology to function, but wasn't born with one, or was born with one that wasn't good enough for him to survive, and so it's either fully artificial or extensively enhanced by cybernetics to make it strong enough to function?

[HowlingSnail]

This week's guest Granute really looks like Rita from King-Ohger at certain angles. To be honest they could probably actually hire her, and I doubt many kids would recognise her out of her Rita costume.

[takenoko]

Apparently the actress name is Takanashi Kana. Her agency site is down, that doesn't seem good. But she says she was a finalist in Japan's miss international 2023

https://www.miss-international.org/jp/2023/contestants/
I can't tell if Kobayashi Kana is the same person?

[Lunagel]

I can see her agency site. Looks like the same person to me, and I doubt she'd have it on her profile if it wasn't true, those beauty pageants are pretty cutthroat.

Not a good look that the pageant gets her family name completely incorrect though.

[Mxylv]

This was a pretty good episode, helped a lot by the thief character: easily aggravated yet somewhat empathetic, teaching Shouma basic nutrition to use him as a partner in crime, stealing for someone else's perceived good instead of his own. Truth be told, he's such a complex character that it feels like a genuine shame we probably won't be seeing him more. The detective subplot is also intriguing already. Kind of reminds me of Zero-One's first couple of episodes.

Didn't comment on the OP last time, but I think it's alright. On the one hand, the almost hip-hop music feels more chill than action-packed, and the visual stylize doesn't mesh with me, though I'm glad it has a distinct visual style, and it's stretching out what KR OPs can look and sound like a bit more.
