Yuki Hayashi cooked with this soundtrackhttps://youtu.be/O3TAoF9Z5f4?si=D0vq5MaeJlCe9CpH
>>22888543It's strange, the whole soundtrack has been uploaded on release date in YouTube 2 weeks ago but all videos have been taken down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Skmp4_r5h4&ab_channel=%E6%9E%97%E3%82%86%E3%81%86%E3%81%8D-TopicOnly like 3 tracks have been uploaded on YouTube by others. Anybody know a source to find the other tracks for download?
>>22889502Unfortunately it's cause the tracks are currently region locked. There is a bilibili playlist thoughhttps://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1SfxcekEm1/
>>22889535Thank you so much, fellow OST-appreciative anon!
>>22889535Huh, the Luna Armor theme seems like it cuts off about 10 seconds too early
>>22889573It's the only track like this tho, so I guess it's done on purpose? Wonder why tho
Who do these go so hard for a card game adhttps://twitter.com/tsuburayaprod/status/1846748284465172729
I fell off after the first 3 episodes, just got busy. Worth picking Arc back up?
>>22888543Build Fighters...my beloved...
>>22892590ehh it's getting into a major arc just now. The rest of the episodes are worth watching as a saturday morning cartoon, not some to be binged in one go
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ6NAwfCCg0
WE GOT A FUCKING BEMZEED SUIT!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqaSPvZqaeE
Holy shit these threads are dead now
>>22894461Better than around the clock shitposting like all the other general
>>22894461its the end of the week cycle and the new episode starts in a few hours. if you want a more active thread for the sake activity you can always start a petty argument i guess
What was with the anons acting like Arc being a traitor wasn't copying Tiga Dark?
>>22894875Arc being a traitor? He didn't align with Ze Su to begin with and his leaders asked him to save Earth so I where would treachery even fit?
The fuck are these, flying spinning eels?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLXD7O04Yc0How was Arc's 15th episode?
Arc did a L-beam like jack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxvbNoLMpAIUltraman EXPO 2025.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DdLyltJve8
Would have been more impactful if it was form change, desu. Or the armor being more sleek in proportions like fadoran. As is, it's like Arc just put on his bigger boi clothes.
I liked the part where the catchphrases got swapped
Theory time after seeing the new trademark for quite a while: Do you think Ultraman Arc got his name from Rution's earliest identity as Gil Arc, or is Gil Arc supposedly gonna be another evil clone of Rution?And who said Nexus Junis Orange will be real? Tell me, because I have to punch someone's face in for baiting.
Even if I don't like the form design that much, that was a very strong showing and origin story for an upgrade. Very good. Much better than Blazar's missing pet bird that they never really explain.
Can we get a sneak peek of the main villain yet? The Ultra who made the gate in the first place
>>22895593>The UltraIt was never stated that Ze Su is an Ultra
>kaiju have been appearing because they're trying to get to a big black ball underneath the city>this all started due to an important incident 16 years agonaruhodo
So I guess this confirms what I suspected last week in >>22884969 Yuma's drawings gave Rution/Arc the current form that he has. He was just a vaguely humanoid light blob before that.And I guess the new armour is born from Arc's imagination rather than Yuma's?
>>22895744So Arc isn't even an Ultra in the first place? That's a first, yeah?
>>22895673Evil Ultras sell better than generic talking aliens
>>22895673The name does sound similar to ZoffyCan someone do an edit of Arc in black and gold with white eyes?
>>22895749maybe he's close to orb's ring of light? like a pretend ultra
>Inb4 next year's series is called Ultraman Ciel as a play on "arc-en-ciel"
>>22895235This episode fucking rocked holy shit, my favorite by far
>>22895757Yeah but we don't have anything to say he's an Ultra. And considering this revelation today >>22895744, he's likely a blob as wellUnless Gil Arc is going to be him
So there's no inner space because Arc is Ruiton himself, not the usual case of the host in control of the Ultra's body.
>>22895786Why would Arc be the only one who could shapeshift into an Ultra?
>>22895809Not saying he is, weirdo
>>22895809Rution met Yuma and thus Arc the "ultra" was born. I suppose if Yuma drew a heroic kaiju, Rution would've taken the form of a kaiju. do we even know what Gil Arc actually is? is it an alien? a copycat of Arc? a robot imitation? GDF weapon?
>>22895814He's a Dark Warrior or something
>>22895235Pretty fucking good. Enjoyed how it was Yuma that prompted Rution to use his imagination, alongside help from Ishido to free Arc. New armor is cool, and the way the Onyx was just absorbed into a new power was neat. Wonder what the hell that rip in reality is
>>22895235good interactions and info. Fight not so sure sadly.
>>22895263>arc, use your imagination >copies yuma >armor is rough as hell I like it
Thought Arc was so-so up to this point, but I really like this bond they have established between host and ultra with this episode literally growing up together for 16 years.
>>22895832It's the kaiju's tail. He used his tail to cut an escape route in the previous episode. I think the implication is supposed to be that he created a escape route just big enough for Sweed before being destroyed this time.
>>22894875I didn't get the impression that Rution opposing Ze Su was an act of rebellion or fighting his superiors, I thought he was pretty much trying to stop a mad scientist that made a huge decision on his own.
>>22895838>>22895832>>22895450Maybe I am being too harsh on galaxy armor. In the end it's just a new item so I guess that's why it didn't have that much impact on me. But I do like how it symbolizes the growth of yuma's and rution's bonds.
>>22895769I'm gonna laugh if Ultra getting Laruku to do an OP even before Rider.
>>22895678>Ultraman starts ripping off Anno instead of the other way aroundWhat a time to be alive
>another fucking recap episodeDidn't we JUST have one?
>>22896541Welcome to modern Ultraman. In return, you get near movie quality episodes
The ultraman arc ost reminds me a lot of my hero academia. Is that the same guy?
>>22896630Yeah >>22888543
>>22896541Galaxy is evidence of Yuma being rather unimaginative since he can't draw an organic evolved or "super" formIt's not like Arc would be ruined if his markings changed under each armor
>>22896760Meant for >>22895919
>>22896760Galaxy is Arc's.
>>22896806And the series is half recaps because Battlizers are for Sentai
>>22896859What the fuck are you talking about?
>>22897028Anon, if you see someone start rambling randomly, do not engage. It's HIM
Post your rankings on the Reiwa Ultra upgrades.
>>22897039Boo!
>>22897103Honestly all of them are kinda downer.Z to Trigger are the only ones that actually give them a different look, and out all of them, Dynamic the only one that I will say is pleasant to look atTaiga just adds more red, and Blazar/Arc armors are nothingburger
>>22897103For Taiga's it would be Photon Earth, because it still follows the older formula of 2 series upgrades instead of 1. And it's Photon Earth for me.
>>22895244next ep is another recap??!
>>22897493YES!! CAN'T YOU SEE THE PREVIEW!?
>>22897493A special recap. Haven't had one of those in a while.
>>22897103Diminishing returns
If the Blazar crossover is 16-17 then we'll have three two parters in a row all separated by a recap, which, idk how I feel about that
>>22895769Not happening L'arc en ciel sold out to takaratommy
Ultraman: Rising DLC coming to GigaBash in November.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjEBalaCHEg
>>22898543Wonder if Ken and Emi are going to be like an Ice Climbers duo.
>>22898207The band got their name from the French word for rainbow
https://en.moegirl.org.cn/Ultraman_Justice
>>22898543I hope it has Neronga.
>>22898758Knowing our luck its gonna be destroyer because we can't have ultra kaiju for some reason.Since we are doing netflix stuff now i kinda hope we get a SP or even Troll dlc
>>22895749Ultras technically ARE just blobs of light like Rution. Their physical forms are basically containment suits for the light inside.
>>22896046>"ripping off Anno">literally just what they've done in R/B, X and Ginga
>>22897208>and Blazar/Arc armors are nothingburgerCareful you may trigger the AIDF (Arc Internet Defence Force)
>>22898179Did you enjoy it during Orb? Same happened back then with Maga Orochi, Galactron and Zeppandon back then after all.
hope they show off the next batch of figures soon, so hyped to see them!
>>22897103I'm probably going to get shit for this, but I genuinely think Arc's is the most aesthetically pleasing. The issue is it looks more like gear anyone could wear, not a character form.
>>22898543Damnit, was hoping for Seven and King Joe or Guts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcR4Q8PaPIgExpo video.
>>22900358There's still chance for a second batch of Ultraman DLC.Imagine Seven will come Zero
>>22901198If we follow the pattern from the first Ultraman DLC> Man: Seven> Tiga: Zero> Baltan: King Joe or any other Seven iconic kaijus> Camilla: Belial
Noboru Kimura, vocalist of the band Talizman who sang the opening for Ultraman 80, has passed awayhttps://news.livedoor.com/lite/article_detail/27411022/
which form is your favouritehttps://twitter.com/m78_zero15th/status/1848560549204005233
Why does ultraman go so hard in the west, they do stage shows for a few hundred people who might not even watch the series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTjhrnmv9Ow&t=143s
>>22901892Blazar looks so out of place with his only distinguishing final form feature being obscured by Arc's head
>>22901892It's funny how they're just forgetting Zero Beyond now Also Exceed for me. The Beta Spark armor is unnecessary honestly
>>22901892All the reiwa ultras look nice
https://youtu.be/JsW6OXbdV4cSOUL
>>22902521they're not forgetting it, Shining Ultimate is just his most powerful form now
>>22902812And I'm still banking on Zero using Z Riser with Ultimate, Shining and Beyond medals to access another new final form.
>>22902812Well I hope they do. The form sucks
>>22901892the ones that actually are forms
>>22902591peak JACK.
>>22902247Blame the writers for thinking cavemen should never leave their caves (Blazar should never evolve)
>>22902914>Bandai could have spent the money to develop a powerup called the "Ark Evolver">Instead we get Grimace Shake Vomit
So what are your guesses on next years recap show?Will it be New Generation Stars Season 3?We do know that the recap show usually has a lot of hints towards what the next main show will be about.Do wonder whether they also construct the recap show depending on which figs they want to sell.I suppose a whole Showa based recap is out of question (thought it would be cool nontheless). Even the TDG recaps had a huge focus on New Gen seasons.I could see them doing a mix of New Gen and Max / Mebius, considering how all of them had lots of comeback Kaijus. Next year's season could even be a show about a M78 Ultraman again.
>>22903700And that stopped since NG 1. Recap shows are just recap now. The New Gen Ultras were non existent in Blazar while Yuka and Ediom adventure barely has anything to connect with Arc aside from some superficial themeFrankly I want to see Hane again
>>22903700kinda wish tsuburaya was rich enough to prop up a second tokusatsu series to air during the first half of the year. even a cheapo borderline recorded stage show would be fine as long as the writing is good.
>>22901892Does Geed Galaxy Rising qualify?
>>22902812Technically Shining was always more powerful than Beyond, specially if you go by the Geed movie where it's still treated like some last line of defense trump card when nothing else Zero has is working.
>>22904081>even a cheapo borderline recorded stage show would be fine as long as the writing is good.That's UGF
>November 2nd (Episode 16)>The end of Onyx case, means parting with Ishido. As that time approaches, a strange incident occurs at the campsite, and Ishido is bathed in the light from the monster's hands.>November 9 (Episode 17)>An alien who calls himself "Space Samurai Zangill" appears in front of Yuma. The monster army is sent to the city from another dimension, and Yuma and Zangill fight against the monsters together.
Happy Birthday Susumu-san>>22904221>Zangil and MoguronLet's fucking go
>>22904221>While people are frightened by the light emitted by the monster and flee, Shu is also in trouble. Then a mysterious alien appears.
>>22904221Same Zangill or just the same species?
>>22904216considering UGF has been absent for what? almost 3 years now? kinda shows it wasnt that cheap. im talking dudes fighting in the streets where civilians are still in the background because the team didnt get any clearing done level of cheap or even just redman content in a quarry somehwere
>>22904306Isn't it more due to Sakamoto being busy with Rider?
Found this, thought it was funni lol
>>22904306We had Regulos show in its place during 2022, so it's more like two years, and it could be as anon said >>22904364
>>22904216And it's over.
>>22904425It isn’t. We still have one more absolutian
>>22904425For now. Sakamoto didn't even direct Blazar or Arc, so it's very likely he is busy
>>22904221So November is all out Blazar and Blazar kaijus then?
Here's to our two potential breakout star
>>22904792He's doing Wingman. It's a bit more his speed, what with the mini-skirts and all.
>>22904789>>22904792It would be weird if they made these bundle of UGF but the 4th series is separated for later.>>22904940Hiroyuki definitely already became famous ever since Taiga ended.
>>22904961Yeah, the man knows how to make a successful show.
>>22904961I definitely think Wing-Man is a major factor for his absence lately>>22905006Not really if the production for the 4th one is just that late. If anything, it's probably because they knew a 4th one is coming, hence why they're preparing to cash in on people want to catch up on the show
>>22904961>>22905020Wingman probably won't be longer than 12 episodes at most and the filming already finished months ago like August.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAOP41IXprQ
Why did these forms need character bios?
>>22901361HE CAME TO US FROM A STAR. A shame, the band did a Godzilla song as well once around the same time
>>22904221Note from color>That's right, most of the four episodes next month will be about Blazar's monsters. Note that most of them are about the Blazar's "monsters">If you are looking forward to seeing Blazar and Arc on the same stage or an actor returning, I suggest you lower your expectations a bit, as the guest appearance may be a little different from what you imagined.https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9234246416
>>22905157because Z didnt happen yet and they were still experimenting
>>22905552>Blazar will come, but their participation may not be as high as you think
>>22905552>>22905556So I guess it's just Zangil while Blazar being mentioned off hand like Dyna was in Dynamic arc
>>22905552>>22905556Might be something like the Z/Trigger ep but instead of the protag being knocked into Arc's world it'll be a side character who explains Blazar to Yuma and his imagination lets him make the Blazar Cube for a finisher or something.

Details on the next month of Arc epshttps://twitter.com/cinematoday/status/1849722568158363761
Novenber episodes listing>Episode 17 "The Light of Fear" (November 2nd)The end of the "Onyx Case" meant parting ways with Shu... As that time drew near, a strange incident occurred at the campsite! All the victims seemed to be frightened of something, and the cause was the light emanating from the monster's hands. What on earth will Shu see when he is hit by that light? And just when Shu is in such a desperate situation, a mysterious alien appears!
>>22906434
>>22906437>Episode 18 "Zanki Ryuuseiken" (November 9th)>The alien who appeared before Yuuma and Shuu calls himself "Space Samurai Zangill." He says that a monster from another dimension, the "Dark General of the Underworld," is sending monsters into our world one after another! True to his words, a monster army appears in the city. When Yuuma and Zangill face off against the monsters, Ultraman Arc's deadly sword roars!
>>22906440
>>22906441>Episode 19 "Arc's Request for Cooperation" (November 16th)>Even after the battle with Zangill, monsters continue to appear from the dimensional rift. To put an end to this seemingly endless battle, Shu plans a joint operation with SKIP and the defense forces. However, it seems that he absolutely needs the power of Ultraman Arc to do so... Will Yuuma be able to lead the operation to success?
>>22906443
>>22906444>Episode 20 "Exceeding Feelings">Ultraman Arc chases Helnarak and disappears into a dimensional rift... What is the miraculous encounter that occurs when Yuuma wakes up? When a strong desire transcends the dimensional barrier, will it change the fate of two worlds?! Then Arc's ultimate ray of light, carrying his wish, heads towards Helnarak!
>>22906446
>>22906450
>>22906453>Episode 21 "What is inherited" (November 30th)>Chief Hiroshi's daughter is going to try out a job experience. However, she doesn't choose to be a SKIP reporter, but a TV reporter!? Seeing her, Hiroshi can see the side of his father that he doesn't usually show, but he seems a little lonely... At that moment, the ancient monster Gomess appears, but something seems to be... What? Gomess flies in the sky!?
>>22906455
>>22906433>>22906434>>22906440>>22906443>>22906446>>22906455Hmm, I think the episode number here is a bit off. The Blazar crossover ep is slated to be November 23. Given this week's ep is a special recap, episode 16 is airing next week, meaning the Blazar crossover should be episode 19.
>>22906457Say that to the japanese news site, I'm only reposting stuff from therehttp://movie-core.jp/blog-entry-11565.html
>>22906446>He's actually appearingI'm concerned what Color meant then. Will the episode be focusing more on SKaRD? Because wow, that's going to be a major disappointment
>>22906466>>22906457Ok, I'll admit my bad. Movie Core somehow fucks up the episode release date.
>>22906466>>22906472Yeah don't worry, I'm blaming mostly on the news articles itself
Oh lol, I think the news articles have been updated with the correct episode number now
>>22906478Oh come on now
So it will be whole Blayar month then, thats very interesting. Especially curious to see how they incorporate this into the story we had so far.
>>22906456the daughter actress seem familiar
>>22906455>>22906456This really sounds like that X episode with the captain's daughter but reversed the relationship
he's...going to appear right?
>>22907063.....no
>one of the oldest known Ultras in any universe and it's arguable if he's even an actual Ultra>lives alone on his own secluded planet>has immense godlike powers but almost never intervenes in anything beyond advice >only calls himself King because that's what humans named him, doesn't even rule anything >even big dicks like Father/Ken treat him with reverence Even years later and King is one of the most enigmatic characters in the whole series.
>>22907398And it's better off this way. Some stuff are better left with that sense of enigma
>put eyelashes on a robot>it's now feminine
>>22907433Yep. It's not like we can attach a fleshlight to it.
>>22907435Or can we?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRmcr3edh2oEpisode 16 preview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbXDqMmxlykSpecial recap.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaV-IIvjcBQ
>>22907398>and it's arguable if he's even an actual UltraWhen asked about his name in the Hikari movie, he straight up implies he's just not one. "Ultraman King" just happens to be a name the Ultras call him.He's definitely one of the most peculiar Ultras alongside X (Who has basically no real background or info) and Seven 21 (whose only detaisl make him a mix of spooky and confusing, like how he's OLDER than Seven by a thousand years).
>just forcing in monsters from last season to kill run time after THREE clipshowsI say this as an Ultrafag since 2006 that watched every show and movie: Arc will be my last Ultra series after it's done. This series has been very low effort compared to other entries.
>>22907816For the record I'm not giving up on the Ultra franchise outright, just taking a long break from the weekly upkeep.
Also I have irritable bowel syndrome. Just want to make that clear
>>22907816If this is what makes you give up, I'm wondering how you made this far in the first place. Old monsters re-appearing is nothing new, and at least here, Arc is doing something unique by having a specific reason why Blazar kaijus are showing up in Arc's world.
>>22907816Also we've been having at least 4 clipshows per season since Z, I figured people would get used to that by now
Blazar and Arc
Episode summaries
>>22908121>猛者kek
>>22904940Both of them haven't reprise their role too
>>22907725there is no HIkari movie anon
>>22907816there's absolutely no way you're saying Arc of all shows is low effort when you have Ginga, whose only new monsters being Dark Lugiel and the rest being fucking repaints/remodels (Thunder Darambia, Dark Galberos, Chaosroid U, Ultraman Dark, Ultraseven Dark, Jean-Killer), especially considering that Ginga has probably the worst fucking atmosphere of any of the New Gen shows.
>>22909148Ginga was short and Dark Lugiel was awesome. This series feels like it needed to pad out runtime and unlike Ginga this time Tsubaraya has actual money to spend.
>>22909138There is, it's called Hikari Saga. It's a mini-series tho, I do give you that
>>22909436...... Ugh stupid 4chan not allowing vertical uploads. Or maybe I'm the stupid one for taking vertical pics.
>>22909436
>>22909436>>22909525I think this one's on you, anon
>>22909439You tried. I'll give you a Fou.
>>22909148>>22909281Remember, they say they forego giving Arc actual forms to save budget for new kaiju designs yet we're already seeing monohorn is gonna get reused the 3rd time, albeit with new head. And now 4 consecutive crossover with Blazar and blazar kaijus with hellnarak being the new thing for the crossover.Where did all the saved budget went? The upcoming movie? Or is Arc not being as strong as they hoped that they make the crossover this long?
>>22910594>Or is Arc not being as strong as they hoped that they make the crossover this long?Ultra is shot very early. No way they're reacting to anything from the airing.Anyway, it's still more new kaiju than when they did full form changes. Blazar only had -one- armor change, so it had even more budget for the kaiju, so Arc having 3 armors already hurts the amount of new kaiju they can create.
>>22910594Blazar had about 12 unique kaijus, ignoring kaiju variants such as Brood Gebalga and Deltandal B.Arc currently has 9 unique kaijus, again ignoring variants such as Digelos. It would be about 10 if we're including the upcoming Hellnarak. So honestly, Arc isn't that far off in terms of unique kaiju.
>>22910594>Where did all the saved budget went?Embezzelement, TsuPro is playing the same tricks as Toei with the budget
>>22910909*embezzlement
>>22910594The copium in me is for future Ultra series or even UGF, but I think they burned a lot for Blazar so Arc had to suffer as a result. Time will tell if next Ultra will be back to usual NewGen or not. I think Blazar and Arc got lumped together in a one singular huge budget, which is why Arc filmed early.
>>22909531Yeah probably phone settings. I've been noticing that on Disqus as well.
>>22910921The budget would have been better used if we just got Blazar S instead
>>22910946Sorta reminds me, the only reason we got GUTS Select again in Decker was because they wanted to have defense team again, so they made Decker a sequel to justify the reuse of asset
I miss Kengo-kun. He was so much endearing than Yuma.
>>22910964You miss personality. Yuma has the same amount personality as a wet cardboard
>>22910964*more endearing.
>>22910946Maybe they want that but Blazar creatives are adamant that Blazar stays the way it is and as standalone as possible.By that I mean if we were to have Blazar 2, it would either mean Blazar has to get new powerups and/or introduce a new Ultra or something, and I'd wager that would cause disagreements.
>>22910970There'd also be some infighting with the designers, because an evolved "Blazar S" form would likely swap the segmented, Noa-type design for one that's either more traditional or more Nexus-like
What's up with all the Arc hate? Why the whining?Especially about new forms and stuff like that, like are you people retarded?Z had like 4 new kaijus. Geed had 6 new kaijus. Orb has been the season with most new kaijus (8) for roughly 8 years.>>22910728>Blazar had about 12 unique kaijus, ignoring kaiju variants such as Brood Gebalga and Deltandal B.>Arc currently has 10 unique kaijus, again ignoring variants such as Digelos.Just like anon shows, we never had this huge amount of all new kaijus in two shows back to back.And if I had to choose some powerup or a new kaiju I would take the latter gladly.And the style of Arc so far has been to be reminiscent of Showa seasons, with the second half seeming to follow the typical New Gen episodes.If some of you prefer Blazar, that's great, but stop whining that Arc isn't Blazar season 2. It's ridiculous.Never seen that much complaints back in 2021 when we all hoped Z would get a season 2 and got Trigger instead.
>>22911085Are you Arc's producer? If not then stop acting all personally attacked.
>>22911085Let the haters hate, sucks for them to miss out on the fun
>>22911085Because 4chan typically hates and shitposts about the newest series.
>>22911085>>22911290The series is a snooze fest. The characters are bland, the action boring and there just isn't anything noteworthy about the series. You can shove as many new kaiju as you want into it, if the story doesn't support them they're just window dressings. Toys suck as well and that's the only reason they make these shows.
>>22911500Rin is best girl.
I think what gets me about recent Ultra toys is that they all have collectable trinkets, but they almost never have any focus or weight like they would in, say, Rider. Like in Arc you could take out the cubes and absolutely nothing would change at all. Why even have them if you aren't going to bother making them appealing and desirable to your consumer base?
>>22911500blazar aint getting a a season 2, fag
>>22911500Can't agree there, the episodes have been pretty interesting so far. This year's season even tackled some very deep topics so far.And the action bland?? Especially the first episodes were absolut kino and had many new takes.If you want to troll, at least try better, anon
If we're saying anything we want right now, here's mine;I find both Blazar and Arc boring with the exception of several standalone episodes.
>>22911744Which episodes did you enjoy?
>>22911785Blazar; Garamon and GavadonArc: Kanegon, Noiseler, Rin's professor
>>22911085>Arc hateim more hating on the 3 recaps they are doing again
>>22911669You like it because it's "Subversive" in the same way Blazar was We all know TsuPro will go full woke given their Disney partnership
>>22911903Bruh Rider is more woke than Ultramen currently.
>>22911528It's pretty obvious the staff would want to do a show without them at all, and only include the minimum required by Bandai.Pretty different from Rider, where the staff seems to embrace the toyline for better or worse.
>>22911881We've had three recaps per series every year since Z. It's nothing new.
>>22911903Stop talking, anon, you just talk shit, man
>>22912052thats why i say 'they are doing again' .
>>22911881Totally understandable anon, those surely slow down the experience.At least we are almost through those, there is only one left in December probably
>>22912524Ultra are more open to female protagonists than Rider
>>22912636Name me all female Ultraman protagonists we had recently

>>22912911I'm still mad that this guy ended up feeling only about as effective as Windam was in Z.
>>22912919Not his fault the humans copied the schematics of a Baltan lawnmower.
>>22912911https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9239048698Starting to wonder if it's a completely new, smaller mold.
This would be a really cool weapon idea for an actual ultra https://youtu.be/Iv0ArZkXzG0?si=xUtB7gFdySxGF41Y
>>22913626I can see it now: the whole toyline is about building some weaponries and combos and the final toy and form is basically the gattai of all the toys into one big weapon.
I think I know why i'm having a hard time accepting galaxy armor as a final form-tier item: it feels rather detached and loose. Compared to something like fadoran armor, which is very sleek and seemingly changing Blazar's right arm area. Pretty much giving that natural type of growth on his already complex design.
>>22914189It really would look much better if Arc's body color or pattern changed any. The red clashes really hard with the blues and pinks of the armor.
>>22914189>fadoran>sleekwhat the FUCK are you talking about
>>22914205It looks like crumpled foil
I'm really hoping this "slap some clashing gaudy shit onto the base form and call it a final form" thing doesn't become a trend.
>>22914258>>22887971Miss me as a final form now?
>>22914189>>22914205I think what he means, Fadoran is tightly integrated into Blazar's design, and while it is an "armor" type form, it seems to actually change the torso enough to look like it requires new molding, and it blends in with his existing design elements like his color timer.Meanwhile, Galaxy seems to literally be an extra layer on top of Arc, that could in theory be popped on to anyone like Zero's Ultimate Aegis. It's not really integrated at all. It essentially covers and replaces his color timer with a different one.Personally, I like Galaxy a lot more than Fadoran, especially when you consider their implementation into each story and abilities, but I still see what he means.
>>22914264Ultra final forms started going down the shitter with you
>>22914267Yeah, this anon explains it better. Was writing those before I went to bed.>>22914194Yeah, my other main issue with it is the red not working well with the armor pieces. Why, I think black would just do nicely. Or maybe a gradient 'undersuit'.
Do suru?>New suits for new formsOr>More new kaijus
>>22914882A balance of both would be nice. One final form and 7-8 new kaijus
>>22914264Will Ultra final forms ever lose the dumb handheld weapons?It seems so backwards to me when you got these guys who can naturally create buzzsaws and spears out of thin air, needing some physical hand held dagger thing thing to supplement their powered up form. Arc's in particular bugs me cause it's so much less impressive than the sword he stars with. Galaxy literally looks cooler when he puts that thing away.
>>22914882Final forms that are straight up repaints so we can afford maybe one fewer clip show, and keep the new gaggle of monsters every season.This isn't even a sacrifice in my opinion, I genuinely like repaints more than a lot of final forms.
>>22915227To be fair, summoning a physical weapon through their energy constructs was one of the legendary techniques of one of the OG Ultra Brothers. You could just interpret the final form weapons as being a further evolution of that.That being said, Arc's eye sword is cooler yes.
>>22915242Summoning weapons as if it's an inmate Ultra skill feels so much more impressive to me. Physical or energy doesn't matter much. But having to find them through some side story makes the gear seem less impressive to me, like it's some temporary crutch, not a mastered ability.
>>22915249Well, it is via crutch. Ace is literally the master of energy construct bullshit. Even the other Ultra Bros can't do it like he does. Jack's summoned weapons were in his bracelet. Modern final form weapons are just a mix of Jack and Ace's weapon summons but more extravagant.
>>22915227How else do you want them to hold their weapons? With their feet?
>>22915228A straight up repaint for a final form is, like, so passe. It wouldn't sell well at all. If anything, a repaint mix with some new parts would do better. Heck, something like that blazar fanart, wild heart mode if I recalled, would do as a final form.
>>22915227>>22915242>>22915249Physical weapons in final forms should be over the top to match the energy of said final formNo Ultra final form has ever had a "buster sword" as a weapon a la Blade's King RouzerOrb Calibur is just fat, not big
>>22916354erm are you forgetting something, sweaty?

>>22916405I said sword, not club Ultimate Final Geed is more like King Leangle than King Blade
>>22916440Love seeing him dancing around while Ultra Dark Killer beats up some Ultras
I always forget about the chokehold Ultraman has on japanese pop culture
>>22911500the toys have never been the reason they make the show. we've never had a show focused fully to sell toys. it may have been forced upon them like the bandai execs did with Trigger and Decker or Nexus, but blalantly, it's never been the reason TsuPro has kept making Ultraman. Probably the only thing it is true for is fucking Nice.
>>22912911This isn't from the DX toyline, it's from UAF which we never got a figure of Earth Garon for.

>>22917355Very nice but kinda gay / 10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7WjFEcK7LQ
>>22914264I love me some gaudy forms so I like you, despite heavily disliking Trigger.
Seem like Zangil won't appear in human form despite the actor obviously did the voice at the end of the episode?Is Karahashi that busy?
>>22914882New kaiju all the way.
I guess the alien bushido with permanent divine confetti is a Reiwa staple now?
>>22917355I liked it, though it’s funny to see Ishido and Yuma having quite the shoujo relationship lol. Zangil coming in to double team with Arc was a surprise and cool to see him ‘enchant’ arc’s sword. And the redirection of the fear light against Mogusion was clever (albeit a bit tropes). Guessing that tidbit of mogusion’s fear is supposed to showcase the final boss or whoever Zangil is talking about. Poor ishido being scared of actually leaving SKIP, but at least he’s able to stay. I give the episode an 8/10
>>22917709>Guessing that tidbit of mogusion’s fear is supposed to showcase the final boss or whoever Zangil is talking about.What if it's Gill Arc or something from the trademark
Did they intentionally plan for Ghost Samurai alien to coincide with Halloween?
Arc was good this week
>>22912911I really got to figure out how to import stuff from China to the US...
>>22917355Really, really good, and next week's might be even better. It should now be a New Generation tradition that Zangill appears in the 16th episode.>>22914882Give me all the new kaiju. It's so rare that I really like a new form that I don't consider them a big loss.
>>22917773>>22917709The thing Mogujon fears is SPOILER the new kaiju called Hellnarak which is set to appear at the end of November
I almost forgot how OP Mogusion is with all the different tricks it can pull
>>22918486Use picrel for spoilers newfren, and welcome to /m/
>>22918513Thanks anon, been a silent reader for some months now, appreciate it!
>>22918486Tbh, it's not really a spoiler given we've already seen it in the new opening
>>22898543FUCK
>>22898706I want to shoot that club penguin bitch in the head
>>22902154Cause TusPro is DESPERATE for that American money why do you think they make shitty Funko pops and marvel comics?
Arc has been consistently good but I wish the other team members were more involved.>>22919850Because licensing stuff is a way to make money and getting Ultraman in the west has been a goal since the first series.
>>22920148It's a problem a lot of modern Ultras have. We have teams again, but they're frequently sidelined and don't add much to the show. It's especially egregious in Blazar, for example, where our team captain is the protagonist and the rest of the team feels even more irrelevant than usual. You could remove almost the entire team and change nothing.
>>22920622I'd be cool with the leader being the team babysitter but they seem even more like hapless rookies than most other series, even though they are supposed to be the most decorated team between members in a long time. Yet Earth Garon had fewer kills than Sevenger in Z, who was supposed to be the goofy endearing support mecha.
>>22917355Mogusion/10. A rather good episode.
>>22914882I genuinely like surprise powers and abilities more than power-up forms. Still like Seven's random tricks, the stuff Max pulled against Balltan, Blazar's crazy spear applications, Arc's shield tricks. If i can have that AND more monsters I would be happy.
>>22917329I also would like to have this garbage on hand just so i can show it to people who don't believe it exists.
>>22920633>Earth Garon had fewer kills than Sevenger in Z, who was supposed to be the goofy endearing support mechaI think even Windom had a better track record than Earth Garon and it did worse than Sevenger if I remember right.
Not sure if it's just my imagination (heh) but the more I listen to Arc's henshin sound, the more I feel like it's super slow version of OG man's rising sound, mix with operattic elements.
>>22920633>>22921296It says a lot that Z did better highlighting three robos while Blazar struggle to do it with one
I got bored with Arc around the time the luna armor was introduced, has it picked up since then?
>>22922192Yeah the ep 14/15 two-parter suddenly escalates things to galaxy-ending levels.
>>22922199evidently that wasn't enough to stop this thread from taking 3 weeks to hit the bump limit. That's why I came and asked, I saw how slow this thread was and thought Arc must be a really boring fucking series
>>22922234the two parter being bookended by recaps didn't help
>>22922192Nope. In fact I dare believe this might end up being the worst major Ultra entry.
>>22922234The entire board has slowed down a lot this year.
I don't get it, Arc has a lot going for it to make it a popular series, yet for some reason it feels very lacking even with the fandom
>>22922725Because it's all but a showa show in the current era. It's a product of a time that has long past the current generation. It's basically a boomer show made in current year
>>22922725They should've keep making a DX mecha so Arc isn't fighting alone, thought it would be a tradition starting from Z.
>>22922740Hardly, in fact it seems too modern.
Kazuo Umezu passed away, a master of horror with classic works like The Drifting Classroom and Fourteen he got his start on a manga for the original Ultraman which is currently being fan translated.
>>22922725It's just the very different POV from a civilian NGO. Gets comfy when you start to appreciate it. It's similar to how SKAaRD was a white elephant unit, bogged down by politics and bureaucracy. Unfortunately dumb niggers in this thread are obsessed with superficial power-levels and kill counts.

Not sure how to read this but apparently Ultraman sales projection is decreasing
https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/files/ir/financialstatements/pdf/en_20241106_Complement.pdf
>>22923114>>22923115>>22923121>Decrease in both domestic and international >Lower projection We're going back to the old New Gen format, huh. Since the next series would have already been filmed, I assume the 2026 series are gonna be the nostalgia wank to end all nostalgia wank
>>22923142>I assume the 2026 series are gonna be the nostalgia wank to end all nostalgia wankAh the 60th anniversary series.
>>22923143It's Orb's 10th too. If it were me, I do an Ultra who fuse fusions.
>>22909436>>22909439>>22909525>>22910925It's because your image wasn't actually rotated.Y'see, JPEG is a lossy format. That means that every time you edit it and save it, it loses a tiny little bit of image quality. If many edits are made, these losses can add up and become visibly noticeable. To avoid such losses when doing something as minor as rotating an image, most basic photo software (including the one built into your phone) will instead rotate the image by applying an EXIF rotation tag.EXIF tags contain many different types of metadata about images, including what kind of camera and lens was used, the exact date and time taken, and sometimes even GPS coordinates. Consequently, EXIF tags can be used to identify the location and even identity of the person who took a photo.So, to prevent people from doxing themselves, 4chan automatically strips the EXIF tags from all uploaded images, on all boards except /p/ - Photography. And so, your EXIF rotation tag was removed.If you load your image up into a proper image editor like Photoshop or Paint.NET, you'll be able to properly rotate it and save it.
>>22923158A fusion of the fusion.
>>22922954It's just one of their own false flagging
>>22923142Probably because of Blazar. It underperformed relative to the projections by a lot.
>>22923430That makes no sense whatsoeverWe've already had a full quarter of Arc, they have data on how well it's doing, it's doing worse than Blazar so far ergo projections are lower
>>22923468No I mean the trend is similar to Blazar's. They kept decreasing Blazar's projection after each quarterly report but it kept undershooting the projections, so they lowered it even more for Arc. You can check the 2024 report again, Arc's end of year projection was a whooping 20 bil instead of 16, which is a negative YoY sale. With Blazar they still predicted positive growth (and it didn't make it).
>>22923620 (me)The original projection (20 billion) from 2024 report would have been positive YoY growth compared to Blazar's (19.1), the current prediction (16 billion) is a massive dip.Blazar's full year projection from the 3Q report was 20 billion. It didn't make it.
>>22923514What was your purpose in spamming the thread with these
