Loved seeing a Blazar again. Just the wild man grunts get me excited. But then he threw Arc out so quick it felt like too little. Arc getting that Blazar power isn't all that interesting to me either.

>>
>>22947985
They were hyping up Hellnarak like he was going to be a huge villain, not just a dangerous kaiju. Then they just beat him with... a simulated combo attack in base form. Yeesh. Makes it feel like Hellnarak was weaker than Zadine after all that.
Also what was that absolute nothing of a crossover? Even this parallel characters thing feels poorly done, because apparently no one in the main cast is Blazar OR piloting Earth Garon.

>Arc pulls off the team attack better without Blazar actually being there, while Blazar struggles to beat the first kaiju of his series again.
wtf
>>
>>22947985
There's a different between not being too fanservicey and being a disservice. This episode leans to the latter.

I can understand not wanting to bring back the Blazar cast (frankly, aside from Gento and Emi, the rest of them weren't that memorable) but they could have explored more on the SKiP variants. Something like the salesman episode and highlight the different divisions of SKaRD and their duties.

Then of course; the 'team-up'. All that build-up for nothing. So what if Arc can do Spiral Burrade, I prefer to see something more creative like a combination of Blazar caveman logic and Arc's imagination shield hax.

The episode has so much potential, and they squandered it. A shame when the Zangil parts were amazing

What the fuck was that??
I am not an Arc hater. I actually thought episode 17 was awesome. It made it feel like Zangill had to pass on his wisdom on to Arc for him to even begin to approach Helnarak's army. it seemed like Arc had crossed a huge new threshold, showing off amazing tricks we have never seen before, and Zangill sees this and is reminded of Blazar's majesty.
...Then they finally fight Helnarak together, and they just had to use their basic base form finishers in quick enough succession. That's it. Hell, Blazar didn't actually need to be present for it to work.
>>
I wonder if the reason they didn't have any of the Blazar cast is because Arc filming was quite early, sorta like how Gotchard and Gavv filming clashed.
But even then Blazar was also filmed earlier, the entire filming was done by the time the press conference was livestreamed.
>>
>>22948306
>But even then Blazar was also filmed earlier, the entire filming was done by the time the press conference was livestreamed.

See that's the thing. I doubt the cast were that booked either so it's very likely this was a creative choice.

Kind of obvious, alternate Shu talks about him as if he's been fighting with his version of SKaRD for a while, not like he was a visitor.

Wait, so is King of Mons appearing or not?
Thought it would be one of Hellnarak's spawn.

All it took was hitting him with two finishers in base form at once? We literally saw Arc crate copies of his armored forms just two episodes ago.
What happened? The build up was so much better than the actual crossover.
RIP Zangill, guess it's good he didn't see this disappointing encounter.
>>
Welp, today I learned Eiji Tsuburaya's grandson was a Space Sherrif, Shaider.

Granted! But now their show's Ultraman is a complete jobber, and his host is the most bland, unlikeable character yet!

Because in show business, there's no such thing as good writing!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt disappointed with the Hellnarak arc. That shit felt weird.
>>
>>22950140
The Zangir two parters were good. The Arc communication was just fine but it's the finale that ruined it.

All the setup and for nothing. Hellnarak didn't even feel that threatening

With how hot these fuckers are, I imagine we'll see Bandai doing the same for Ultraman in the future; collectibles that also serve as cute mascots

We already have spark dolls

Yummy yummy corn syrup Rider. We can have a seed oil Ultraman and a Sentai series based on pesticides and vaccines.

Spark Dolls were the most genius collectable Ultra has ever done because they required almost zero effort to implement and people already bought them anyway.

I was honestly expecting something like this more than... Arc learns how to copy Blazar at home.
>>
>>22950406
Ultraman has already been here, they just dialed back the presence in Blazar.
>>
>>22950756
I loved spark dolls. But I can understand why the characters literally holding the exact produced for economy toy you can buy at the store, instead of a nice prop, can take people out of the show.
>>
>>22950140
I like the show, but you can't really ignore the fact that the Zangil episodes were more exciting and interesting than the actual two parter they were setting up.
>>
>>22948230
Why write it so they get such lopsided priority though?
>>
>>22950406
Bandai has always been pretty conservative with the type of collectibles in Ultraman. Even when they were going full in, they weren't doing stuff like Fruit Ultramen or Videogame Ultramen.
>>
>>22950842
You say that, but two of the shows canonizing kaiju vinyls being in the shows themselves as major plot points is pretty extreme, just in the other direction.
>>
>>22950783
That would have made them money, but they're in their anti-profit subversive era
>>
>>22947999
Strong writing and an actual final form to signify growth.

>>22950956
Yeah, I know they are being experimental. At least it worked well for Blazar but it doesn't catch the same lightning for Arc, which worries me.
>>
I hope Omega is good

Man, I usually give Ultraman credit for having some of the best crossovers in long running Toku series. But that was so half hearted.
Arc goes to an alternate version of Blazar's world which we aren't even familiar with, to learn how to do Blazar's first finisher, so he can beat the multi-arc big boss monster without Blazar helping directly? This felt so disrespectful to Arc in several ways.
It also just feels weird after Zangill taught Arc that cherry blossom slash move, only for him to not actually use it on the Kaiju that Zangill was preparing Arc to fight.

>>22951131
Orb will always be a weird outlier because his "final" form is technically his base normal form and has been treated as such since the end of the series. They count Trinity more as his final form even though it's a movie form.
>>
>>22947979
How’s the blazar movie anyways?
>>
>>22951449
The plot is really bad, even by toku movie standards
>>
>>22951454
That ain’t good, what’s wrong with it?
>>
>>22947991
They always look like low-tier repaints or reskins to me.

Imagine a child seeing a lineart of Ultraman or Gundam, and coloring it as he likes, even though he has never watched the show. This is how I feel.
>>
>>22951449
It felt like the most "New Gen" compared to Blazar episodes.
>>
>>22951131
I actually really like Royal Mega Master, probably more than most of the other forms here. But it's so weird as the final form of the TV show, cause it just feels like any other fusion form, just happens to be stronger components.
>>
>I’m not interested in arc but I might check out the blazar episode
>none of the cast returns, blazar just jobs repeatedly and it’s not even the real blazar
I give up
>>
I would accept it better if they're just done with the Zangill 2-parter.
It's weird that Zangill just went to afterlife but leaving Hellnarak's problem to a new Ultra?
>>
>Blazar crossover hits Arc
>nearly all except one episode is mid
Is this Blazar's curse or something? The moment we get the Blazarslop, the writing completely goes down hill. It's the same thing that happened with Decker. At least we're back to kino next week now that we got Blazarslop out of the way
>>
>>22951740
That part's ok. Zangill on a timer adds to the tension and the coffee-like bittersweet ending.
>>
>>22951749
>Decker
Decker is ten times better than Blazar at its worst. I watch seething Agams over trying not fall asleep with SKaRD
>>
>>22951131
Shouldn't Ginga Strium be included? Sure it debuted early but for all intents and purposes it's Ginga's powerup.

>>22951435
While I like the twist on the final form formula, I kinda hate not that Origin complete replaces as Orb's default look, but that Spacium Zeperion is 'abandoned' post show. I feel like Z Original and Alpha Edge is a remedy of that.
