These are the H12 Ultras. Say anything about them.
Is every plot going to be a two parter now? That was one thing I hated about late stage Heisei KR, the fact that you might as well skip a week every other time and just catch up later.
>>23966935I'm hoping they come back so they don't waste the suits
>>23967113the suits aren't wasted though.
>>23967131how would you know?>>23962249you won't survive the showa shows then.
>>23967132>how would you know?How would you know the suits are wasted? The series always makes multiple suits. You think a single suit can survive 49 Showa episodes? What about all the Heisei forms? It's suits, suits, suits. You think they are just making suits out of boredom?
>>23967132Because they aren't suits, they're quick edits of Teo's CG model.
>>23967171Why would they have different bulges if they are edits? One even has a camel toe.
>>23967245>camel toeCould H12-Dude-C be a chick?
>>23966935This is what I always wanted for M78 citizen in Ultra Galaxy Legend movie.
Teo laughing is slightly off putting. I know it's just Ibuki's actor with a filter, but he sounds oddly sinister.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pXqa7pREkNGL how the fuck did they make a better You Say Run than the actual You Say Run
>>23967650looked up you say run and I see what you mean now lol
>>23967650oh okay both songs are made by the same guy that makes a whole lotta sense
>>23967669I knew that, but how is it BETTER
>>23967650Seriously, it's funny how the relatively light-hearted Arc has such a badass theme.Teo's music is also turning out great.
>>23967800>Teo's music is also turning out great.Yeah the theme song is one of my favorites, gets stuck in my heard every time I hear it.
>>23967650becuase Arc was a fucking amazing series
Smile, smile...
Arcs battle theme kicks asshttps://youtu.be/QerzJzAzJ3g
Do we know how Teo has been selling and how reception to it has been so far?
>>23968590Teo's got pretty positive reception in China so far. Also for the financial stuff for TsuPro>Ultraman’s performance recovered in China, and the Tsuburaya Productions division’s operating profit surged 227.7% year-on-year!>They raised their full-year forecast and announced a special dividend commemorating Ultraman’s 60th anniversary!https://x.com/NEXTNEVER1/status/2081680456240574574
>>23968597awesome news!
>>23968590You know, a part of me wonders how Space Gazers would interact with M78, U40, or O50 Ultras.We know they've been watching those guys
>>23968690that would be so fucking funny. imagine the space gazers are completely imperceptible to other species of ultras and theyre just silently observing, including watching King on his own planet lol
>>23968907It should be more like, those nerd weirdos are watching us again, but they're doing anything, so let's just let them be and ignore them.
>>23968690>>23968929Shouldn't the M78s aka Space Police arrest them for space stalking?
>>23968597How the hell did having less toys result in a 200 percent increase in profit? The math just isn't mathing.
>>23969051Ask Tsupro accountant, also Idk how to read these numbers
>>23969051Turns out, good stuff
>>23969051Just want to point out that the costs to make a show can vary wildly. Just looking at Teo's first few episodes almost all the non-action scenes take place in two locations: the tiny club room and some vague forest area. That's got to save a tremendous amount on location / set costs. And with each story being stretched over two episodes you've got a major cost cutting formula.
>>23968152I felt it was doing well until the later half
>>23969285The Hellnarak arc was a misstep, but it picked up once that was finished.
Any recycled kaiju suits so far?
>>23969399it was a good arc until the final part of it
>>23969051yeah, this smells fishy
>>23969592nope
>>23968597how the fuck
Kekky...
I found out that the figure line with the bara Father of Ultra also has this damaged King Joe. Kind of neat if you like that stylized look they're going for.
>>23970157Ultraman...
>the dog in Ultraman Taro who's killed by the monster, replaced at the end of the episode and whose replacement never appears again anywayStill my single biggest WTF moment in the franchise.>later on they show Taro owning a space dog back on the home planet
>>23968597It's Zero's new toy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD2onjupH0EThoughts?
>>23970680no way is a single toy making them that much money
>>23970777Weird they don't use any artist from Lantis
>>23970777So two of the singers are Emma and Kanna themselves.
Kanna looks cute from far but gets pretty haggy in close up shots
>>23970891I want Kanna to eat
>>23970784It is if it's ZeroAlso they didn't specify how much did it increases from. 200% from a low number will of course be an achievement
>>23970907so do we think this year will do better then the last?
I hope Teo Active is a full suit form change, considering they spent a good amount making suits of the h12 citizens. I wonder how much kaiju suits they ended up making for Teo with all the episodes so far being two parters. I feel like even 3 parters are coming.
>>23970891the actress actually born exactly a day after Emma's actress
>>23970890That's cool.
https://twitter.com/digimonweb_net/status/2084806957022715984
>>23970890I figured it was odd that only one singer was credited at first when there's clearly multiple vocalists but to find out that it's the actresses? awesome
>>23971230>>23971312I keep finding Japanese tweets being lukewarm about this reveal, comparing to 10 years ago Orb having the late Ichiro Mizuki or 20 years ago Mebius with Project DMM.
>>23971350the song's kinda mid
>>23971353I think it's more about getting two actresses also singing the theme song felt like a cost cutting.
>>239713573 of them cost less than 1 Minda Ryn?
>>23969101Reminds me of Ginga.
>>23971375i have mindaryn fatigue
>>23971417Coincidentally, Ginga's theme song is my favorite opening.
>>23971350Maybe they're saving the budget for the 30th anniversary of Tiga Final Odyssey Then you could spend big money and have the theme song for that project done by ISSA
>>23971248>Zero takes up 4 fucking slots>Tiga takes up 3>OG man, Zoffy, and Jack all differ by 2 pixels max
>>23971701I rather they reunite the V6
>>23971701>Maybe they're saving the budget for the 30th anniversary of Tiga Final Odysseyy'know I'm surprised they're not straight up making a Tiga 30th anniversary movie after Nagano being approachable now
Teo tomorrow!
>>23972201Maybe they're planning on a Trigger Final Odyssey
>>239725192 days too early, anon
https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/files/ir/financialstatements/pdf/en_20260806_Highlights.pdf
>>23972746at least it's projected to go up. Blazar and Arc really tanked the fucking IP huh
>>23972567Not in some time zones...
>>23972781I thought Blazar brought quite many new fans while also making old fans happy because of no legacy stuffs in the show.
>>23972781Blazar is kinda like TDG, still got merch even after the show end.
>>23972781>>23972984Blazar at least sales-wise only did a little bit worse than Decker. The issue is that New Gen had been almost consistently growing every year up to that point and that stopped it. Then sales started falling more in the next couple of years.
>>23972781Blazar and Arc feel like attempts at writing what "Millennium" Ultras would be like where each show is a fresh reimagining that ignores everything except for 66
>>23972746nice, sales are recovering
>>23973066They expect sales will recover, the current numbers are pretty much the same as last year's.
>kid getting shot in the throat>dog getting exploded>Jiro getting strangled and threatenedThe middle episodes of Jack don't fuck around holy shit.
Taiyo Sugiura is one of those toku alums who's generally down to come back whenever, right? It'd be neat if Cosmos made an appearance in Teo.
>>23973131its the best part of the show
>>23972746good news?
>>23973134I want Leo, because of destroyed home planet and all.
One week left.
>>23973977Leo also rhymes with Teo
>>23973977>>23973993>Astronomy Club gets blown up
>>23972987What other toy have they made for Blazar?
>>23973979Show me the fourth Absolutian!!
Teo tonight!
kekky ...
Man by the time they reunite the group the show will basically be half over.
>>23974721it's really just tomabechi and rintarou left. if they both get 2 episodes, including tomabechi's episode today, that would mean they all would be back in the club by episode 9 which not even close to half of 25, mind you Emma is already in teh club. it's a MOTW show anyway, well, monster of every 2 weeks but you get the idea. we haven't been introduced to any plot point that would make it feel like spending time with characters is "eating away" at screentime for a heavy overarching narrative.
>>23974836Don't forget the four recap episodes
Aw, I wonder if those are the staffs cats.
>>23969037I think the only time M78 would really intervene against them is if there's an inhabited world about to just flat out fucking die and those retards are just sitting there watching it because "they caused the situation so they have to solve it themselves".Like, the Space Gazers outright would have just let Celebro destroy Z's Earth because they made Ultroid Zero even though they were manipulated into it. That's how fucking stupid their philosophy is.
>>23974864those dont get counted in the 25 episodes. you should know this by now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEnVvAfLP8How was Teo's sixth episode?
>>23974920Kino start to what looks to be a crazy part two
Is Vermilos a reused Peguila/Pegunos?
>>23974923His fighting stance is slowly changing from "oh god not in the face" to something resembling a defensive style.
>Jack's final episode has the MAT consider Goh dead after getting shot down>meanwhile in Taro the ZAT crashes or gets shot down every other episode and nobody caresI think you can can count on one hand how many times they ejected out in Jack.
>>23974920honestly, this is the first episode that I thought was pretty weak. Barely anything really happened.
>>23974920Pretty good but very excited for next week
>>23974920I hope they keep developing the supporting cast, because I felt blazar and arc didn't develop the cast enough for me to care for them
>>23975028which one, /m78/?
>>23975028>>23975062Always Veronica over Betty bros
Sorry, Teo. I was sad today. I will watch your show now.
made me lol
I liked the fact that the kaiju part took place in a residential area rather then in the middle of a city. I don't think I've ever seen that in an Ultra show before.
>>23974920boywife episode
really enjoying Teo so far. The cast has really good chemistry>>23975062naturally, both
>>23975389>The cast has really good chemistryThey're so gonna make Ibuki leaves the Earth in the ending...
>>23975469Is it not popular to keep illegal immigrants anymore?
>TAC captain already issued 4 suspensions in the first three episodes of Ace aloneJesus I want to strangle this guy already.
>>23975028This entire sequence from them finding him and he trying to change his voice actually made me laugh out loud
>>23974920A relatively low stakes episode. The fight wasn’t that impressive, but I do like how they’re taking time to characterize the cast and flesh out their personalities.
>>23977451we're back to the show era where fights serve the plot rather than the plot setting up fights
King get's a model kit from Blokees before he even gets a figuarts. I'm quite fond of Blokees. Their kits seem well engineered and are basically 1/10th scale figuarts and it confuses me why Bandai never just did that for their FRS line
>>23977997you sure that's how it was like in the showa era?
>TsubuIma recruiting extras for filming on September 14thhttps://x.com/m78_imagination/status/2086746949911478736
>YOU CAN'T JUST... TAKE CARE OF CATS!!>Why?>SOMETHING SOMETHING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY >But these are my friend's cats.>OH. OKAY.Woman moment.
>>23978129tomabechi is a woman?
>>23969051Isn't this due to the brand licensing victory, so now you have more companies in China using the Tsuburuya license rather than that other companies'?
>>23978140Referring to Emma, obviously.I don't really get why her first assumption was that Tomabechi was hoarding stray cats, or whatever she was alluding to.
>>23978171That's too recent. Only one company transitioned over (auldey) and they only slapped some stickers on toy rulers so far
I like the detail of Ibuki returns to call him Tomabechi instead of just Bechi right after the truth about the cats revealed.
>>23978176probably because that's the natural assumption. even ibuki thought the same
>>23978176It was everyone's assumption because it'd make the episode have actual drama.
>>23978238it's everyone's assumption because1. tomabechi was talking about rescuing animals to ibuki earlier2. ibuki assumed he rescued the cats3. emma and kana got their info from ibuki
>>23978297why does it seem like Ibuki was written as a girl?
>>23978381just like Shouma/Gavv
>>23978381He's civilian blue.
>>23978365I know it's part of his "kingly regalia," but the fur cuffs around his gloves really stand out when he doesn't have it anywhere else.
>>23970890Could the lead singer of Astrodonuts have been originally cast as Ibuki?See >>23975389 ibuki loves donuts.
>>23978391that's because we haven't seen his pubes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srMNS-zkcEwEpisode 7 preview.
>>23978129Their culture assumes the poor hold ill will towards wealthier or more well off people by default
>>23978387he's very fuckable
What's with those big ass donuts they keep eating anyway? It's like a whole-ass cake.
>>23978129I think this was supposed to be her talking to the audience in case it gave kids a bad idea. This is a kids show after all.
>>23978683Looks like they were designed to scale with Pucchi's arm movement range (big enough to hold with both hands), and they worked backwards from there.
>>23970406You ever get the feeling Taro is where Araki got his love of killing dogs? They kill two within the first 10 episodes.
>>23978683>>23978721japan likes gimmick foods so i wouldnt be suprised if it actually exists
What kind of memes do you think Teo will have by the end of the show?
>>23979057the last 5 shows dont even have any meaningful memes. unless you mean something stupid that the fans cant forget like kengo's smile smile
>>23979109People memed the shit out of Blazar's caveman behavior.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultraman/comments/1vkggu8/trivia_the_early_concept_for_ultraman_tiga/well i'll be. one of the tiga's early concepts involve a primitive ultra battling throughout the ages till the modern times. heisei blazar if you will in terms of concept.
>episode 22 of Ace>they gave up on the flimsy pretenses to make Hokuto and Yuko henshin and just have her fly into his crashing jet nowI could just barely buy the "reach out your hands" long distance morph but this is is getting to be too much for me.
So far all of Teo's kaiju's have been bangers
>>23979329Why hasnt ultraman done effects like this recently?
>>23979725
>>23979625Well don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with the whole “touch to henshin” problem for too much longer.
>>23979786Shabadoobie

>>23971248>Gomora's sprite is just Greymon from the first gen V-petKek.
>>23980180Greymon has always been inspired by Gomora so it's a full circle moment
>>23979902I didn't know the Mega Man Zero guy liked Ultraman.
worst finale ever
>>23980834Tsubaraya removed every upload of this one on jewtube forcing me to watch my country's dub (it's bad) which gave it a weird melancholic vibe. That's the one singular decent thing I can say about it.
>>23980271He's a fan of tokusatsu in general, he's made quite a bit of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai fan art as well
>>23980864Yeah, I've seen those; I just didn't know if he liked all three.
>>23980864My favorite was his Gekiranger art. His take on the mecha was cool!
ya know, if they do want to give showa ultras forms, they could just bring the armors from super fighter legends into live action. they look good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyEGGINbrkc
>>23975578TAC is full of fuckups. They deserve those suspensions.
These chinese toys are actually very cool looking, like better than the official show onesUltra Unibinehttps://youtu.be/xjAKvgFKzp4?list=PLOm-HED0DydvCzGuVZnhOydyGK-Fmukuq
>>23981800what a fucking asshole. needs this much forms and for WHAT
>>23981800It's funny how Wild Burst has so much spotlight, when in reality it's like they take Kamen Rider Accel's yellow state before Trial and presents it as an actual form.
>>23981800Ultimate Zero Shining Beyond Cosmorise
>>23981800Strong Beyond Corona and Luna Beyond Miracle when?
>>23981800does he even use most of these forms anymore
>>23981800I have Zero fatigue
>>23982053I mean, it has been a while since he has made any appearances out of the recap shows.
>>23982258>>23981800I liked him back when the zero movies premiered, but now since he's being oversaturated, he just feels annoying.
If an episode doesn't have a bunch of kids shouting banzai at least once (wai wai is acceptable), I'm not watching it.
>>23981800>"Ultimate" Zero>isn't even close to his strongest form anymore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX4gbdbFqNgSpecial Feature.
>>23982299I'm going to miss Diavolo
I don't remember Gavadon's kiddie version looking like that, certainly not with wings
>>23982337It's a new one.
>>23982354"new"*
>>23982299So Cosmorise isn't just Decade, but Decade Complete Form21The toy summoning looks really really goofy, even by Bandai standard
>>23982361I was thinking more of Legend.
I never keep up with all the gaiden stuff, the Absolutians still aren't defeated? Are they just recurring bad dudes like the Team Rocket of Ultraman now or something?
I have to admit that Cosmo Rise looks super sick and it would have been amazingly hype if it debuted in a movie or something.
>>23982361 Ultimate bracelet looks better than cosmorise
>Max left out of the Seven-like comboNyo....
Zero transforming into Wild Burst and then turning back two seconds later was funny.
>>23982258I have Z fatigue
>>23982299>Lets bring Teobut why?>>23982361Atleast the form is not slapping the cards on him. But yea, look kinda goofy.
>>23981800>>23982299>can even use his Ultimate Shining god mode
>>23982361>Zero's son will be the Ultra version of Kamen Rider Legend
Z is the definitive face of Reiwa. Sorry Blazar chuds. It just wasnt in the card for you guys.
I wasnt paying attention at all at first and I just assumed this was cosmorise zero but its now obvious to me its fucking not
>>23982742silver noa-like gauntlets
>>23982694I see it more as Tsupro needing to staple Z to Zero as a sidekick
>>23982742i thought it was seven X lol
>>23982543Gotta shill the current Ultra.
>>23982543>>23982804Look at how Den-O and Super Hero Taisen movies have to bring in the incumbent hero for marketing. It's like they think audiences wouldn't want to watch past heroes. I mean a specific season anniversary is the exception but still.
>grigio oneechanerrr isn't Ultra-manboy older than Grigio?
Damn the Kaiju and Absolutians are really polite, waiting for Zero to finish his whole dance routine.
>>23982380They did lose on their home planet, but weren't killed, yeah. They clearly intended to continue Ultra Galaxy Fight but then just stopped, so that hasn't gone anywhere for years.
>>23982742>>23982743teo active?
>>23982890Oh wait, no. Isn't there a 2nd Zero form coming later on? Must be that one.(Do the Chinese ever get Zero fatigue?)
>>23982939yes thats the form. you can see the hands is completely different and theres no hole in his colour timer
>>23982939Zero is China's favorite Ultra by a mile because he's basically Sun Wukong.
>>23982972they better still have budget for Teo Active :p>>23982981I still don't understand the Zero and Sun Wukong connection thing. Unless it's like archetypes kind of thing?
>>23982939>>23982258>>23981936>>23982271How are you getting fatigued when it’s been years since he had an actual appearance outside of recap specials.
Honestly I have zero (haw haw) issues with Zero shilling/shenanigans so long as it means they're allowed to keep doing slightly experimental stuff with the shows themselves.
>mfw Ace endingJack's ending is like the rebirth of cinema itself compared to this. It's like they didn't try at all. At no point did I feel like I was watching an actual ending, other than the fact it's a perfect encapsulation with the show's sudden bizarre obsession with kid plots after Yuko was written out.
Just to put an end to this retardation once and for all, SCLA (Ultraman's main license holder in China) set up a voting poll for the most popular Ultraman and Tiga ranked first by a landslide. There were accusations that SCLA or even Bandai were rigging votes for Zero which caused people to participate just to vote Zero down.Here's the poll https://badmintonranks.com/ultra.htmlRank and votes1. Tiga 87674942. Mebius 16915383. Leo 14667324. Geed 11527855. Orb 11429066. Ginga 11423317. Gaia 11423298. Zero 11383049. Nexus 107374710. Z 966313Tiga won with 34.36% of the vote. Mebius in second place got 6.63%Shit was pretty funny to follow if you saw the "controversy" live on Bilibili and Douyin play out.>>23982987That's just one anon's retarded headcanon he keeps pushing. Tiga is the most popular Ultraman in China to the point that Tiga is to Ultraman what Kleenex is to tissue paper.>>23982939It's less fatigue and more annoyance with Zero fans.
>>23983341>Shit was pretty funny to follow if you saw the "controversy" live on Bilibili and Douyin play out.Elaborate
>”I’m getting Zero Fatigue!!!” >Zero’s last appearance was in UGF3 that came out 4 years ago
The only series where Zero plays an actual major role is Geed because it closes out the Belial arc started in Mega Monster Battle. Z only counts barely because Z is a Zero fanboy. Otherwise Zero only exists in side materials.
>>23983346Zero fans were making TikToks shitting on Tiga mainly but basically everyone else as well, to the point that drama tiktokers picked up the story and reported on it. Zero fans then started attacking these drama channels because they came across as childish and obnoxious, which just made them more hated by everyone so people were just voting for whomever to get Zero down the poll. Shit, Astra was ranked 24 because people were just voting for Zero's seniors (OG six is still in legal dispute so no Seven)Somehow a rumor came about that the vote was rigged and Zero was being boosted, which on top of the obnoxious fans just made everyone more angry and just started voting for anyone other than Zero. Dyna at 11th place is a result of that, and you know how the Chinese feel about Tsuruno so that's quite a testament
>>23982380Feels like it
Pucci is ANGRY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zDhil-6_V4How was Teo's 7th episode?
>recap episode alreadyAAAAHHHHHHH
>that red fucking sphere>baby guesra
>>23983467Welcome to modern Ultraman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrcIjoOIjWMSpecial recap preview.
>>23983471Japanese marco rubio?
>>23983466Actually a little scary
>>23983476Based.
>>23982694>BlazarWasn't in the cards.It was supposed to be GInga but they hate him I guess.
>>23983511I always saw it as:>Showa = Ultraman>Heisei = Tiga>New Gen = Zero>Reiwa= Taiga
>>23983466I thought it was pretty good.
The Teo dub is so fucking pozzed.
>>23983574It definitely could've been better, but it's not the worst I've seen.
>>23983585Episode 7 is worse by far. I'd twist my arm to turn every scentence into just using Pucchi's name instead if I was in charge.
>>23983511Yeahhhh
>>23983599Literally who?
>>23983341i can almost gaurantee the chinese set up voting bots for this
>>23983511I'll give Ginga the face of New Gen but I guess TsuPro wants to keep things simple and boil it down to the Japanese eras. it's interesting though, Taiga is technically Reiwa but I guess with the New Gen climax movie, it marks him as the end of Heisei
>>23983466it was pretty good. Feels more like an Emma episode than Tomabechi's. Teo making a bubble out of his barrier is actually pretty cool. It's also kinda funny how this is the second time that Teo was just about ready to blast a kaiju but was stopped.also, I get that these donuts are like a mascot of their own for the show, but it cant be cheap for uni students to keep buying gimmick donuts to feed pucchi lol
>>23983675Shit's probably cheaper than you'd think
>>23983675>TomabechiBechi
>>23983466much better then last weeks ep. Had a faster pace and more interesting plot. Once again I like how Teo fights using strategy more then just beating up the kaiju. I'm genuinely wondering how this show is appearently selling better then Omega though. Its very talky and has limited kaiju action, so I really don't see how kids are liking it?
Why do the current Ultraman series insist on doing recap episodes so early and so frequently?It's only been 7 episodes and a recap already?
>>23983805we have like 4 recaps a year, not 1 or 2 like anime. plus, the recaps have been getting better at feeling like actual episodes
>>23983808>not 1 or 2 like animeOr other Toku shows.
>>23983809the only other toku shows are kamen rider and gavan/omegahorn and they run the full year. ultra has 25 real episodes + 4 recaps that run half the year
>>23983805These usually air on weeks with holidays, and they're not counted as part of the episode count, so the only "real" recap episode is episode 13. Just be glad this isn't Trigger which had 2 recaps back to back after episode 4
>>23983599KWAB
>>23983805their funds all went into project red...
Ilk admit it, I don't hate Zero. He's not my favorite Ultra or anything but I also think the hate for him is overblown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY4xENwd4-A...Why
>>23984338It's better than this at least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQSiJWG72tc
I thought Pucchi was lame, but he’s growing on me.
>>23983574What’s wrong with it?
>>23984619AND just growing in general!
Soooo.... We haven't gotten any returning monsters so far. Who'll be the first?
>>23983675In toku worlds there's a strange commonality of some eccentric guy likely in a food truck selling novelty donuts for really cheap.
>>23984701Please, be Gubila...
>>23984620NTA, but I only listened to one second from the last episode and it was exactly like one of those "if ____" had a generic anime dub memes.
>>23984701The red orb and guesera are the first returning monsters
>>23984701would be sick if birdon comes back, and as a 3 parter. kemujira too.
Happy 32nd birthday to Ultraman Z's voice actor, Tasuku Hatanaka.
>>23985085Birdon hasn't been used in ages, you're right
>>23985450Kemujira even more so
I've been collecting the Converge figures for a while, but they've been genuinely difficult to get a hold of lately at reasonable prices. Mandarake is still out because muh tariffs and their selection doesn't seem to be what it used to be, so I'm kind of at a loss as to where to get them now.
>>23985496Switch to blokee
Yuna's IRL father passed away recently... It's just all too sudden that she went home to Japan to witness what could be a corpse in a wooden box.For those who need more context, Runa Toyoda's father is an overseas worker. You can feel the pain if your loved one dies while outside their original home country, and it's the same pain she's feeling right now.
>>23985765Honestly I just might, especially with Converge releases seeming to slow down overall to maybe three waves a year and Blokee quality getting better and better.
>>23985954Problem with blokee ultraman is that the 1st few (6cm)defender waves weren't officially in NA because they were shared with Rider and Sentai. Not a burger so not sure how bad you get tariff'd if you are to import them
>>23986011what's this from? why does it remind me of...warframe
>>23982694I figured they picked Z because he's Zero's apprentice/fanboy. I suppose the New Gen that should have been there is Ginga but it seems even TsuPro knows Ginga isn't remotely popular.
>>23986186with ultraman, tiga, and teo being there, it's quite clear what they're going for. ultraman is the face of showa, tiga is the face of heisei, z is the face of reiwa and teo is the newcomer. i get that most people want to give ginga some recognition, but in terms of era, he's competing with tiga. "new gen" isnt really a thing outside of tsupro's own arbitrary categorisation. the japanese era's are not as flexible.
it's no wonder that we don't see any new figurise standards of ultraman in almost 2 whole years. they've completely given in to blokees. this is some brutal mogging
If we see a returning Kaiju, I want them to bring back Eldeghimera
>>23986298no way. We need more Heisei and 2000's kaiju to come back
>>23986371we also need leo seijins and their monster forms too. most of them deserve a remake.
>Zero getting the UltRise Eye is played off as this mysterious otherworldly power bestowed from future Zero or something >then it does a bunch of Reiwa Kamen Rider belts be wildin shitA bit of a tonal shift there.
>>23986447it's a japanese franchise....with japanese-ism
>>23986447I don't really have a problem with the more toyetic belts ngl6
>>23986447The future is loud and flashyjust ask the tiktok generation
>>23986206They both suffer from noodle arms
>>23985792RIP....
>>23986782im too employed to know what that means
>>23986917Akane should have been dressed as a member of WINR
>>23987176considering gaia battle in hyperspace, it fits that she represents XIG
I wish Ibuki was more alien and distant rather then the goofy Ultraman protag we've had since forever
>>23987361that wouldnt fit the theme of the show which is coexistence.
>>23986917>Love Dyna since childhood>like Yume the most out of the castA match made in heaven. Would buy a figure if ever released.
>>23986917Rikka's thighs looking normal?The artist will get fired
What if the being that gave Zero the Cosmo Rise gear wasn't him from the future, but Z?
>>23985450>Birdon was one of the first suits recreated for MebiusIt's probably dust by now.
>>23987176TsuPro only consider Tiga to Mebius as Heisei.
>>23986882Their arms are too skinny UA and SHF don't suffer from this problem
Teo has been good so far
>>23987873literally what are you talking about
>>23987873UA is probably the worst version of Tiga ever made
>>23987899NTA, he's right.
>>23987902The renewal version isn't even that bad for 2015.
>>23987580That would be funny.>Future Z somehow became greater than Zero
>>23987961>>23987899their arms are the same "noodle" size>>23987968even smaller arms lol
>>23987976Copied the wrong layer. Like I said he's right about the Shinkocchou. The Ultra Act's arms are skinny, but they're proportionate to the skinny build they gave it.
>>23987980no shit because youre using the nakamura star of ultra version which is supposed to be beefier. you can tell that's the nakamura version by the seam line on his chest. the original SKC of tiga was way skinnier
>>23987973I mean Z is worthy of (an admittedly awkward looking) mantle even if he is still a hotshot whippersnapper by Ultra standards. A number of people including Zero have said he has a ridiculous amount of potential.
>>23988490thats the same shit they said about Mebius and Geed
>>23988563nobody said that about Geed lol. Mebius is already held in high regard and his side story and role in MMB the movie already cements it, even if he has been absent for the last 15 years. Z has enough supporting material beyond his TV show that backs up his mantle
>>23986882More like too ESL.
>>23988563Geed really deserves more respect
>>23989112It is kind of weird he isn't more prominent given his tight connections with a bunch of big names in the Ultra world. He's Belial's son, one of Zero's closest friends, and one of King's personal chosen alongside Leo/Astra and Hikari.
>>23989112>>23989187The reason Zero and Z are more prominent is because they both popular and having voice actors. At least Hamada actually loves Ultraman so he would return as Geed if the scheduling fits, but getting voice actors back are easier.
>>23989474I mean, he and Z were the protagonists of NGS once right?
>>23988490When did Zero say that?
>>23989730Wrong thread, retard.
>>23989742Gomen.
>>23989479yes as voice role so he only need to be in the recording booth
Currently watching Leo and all these kid-centered episodes are driving me insane.>episode 29 with the ugly ass kid who won't stop screamingIt's all so tiresome.
>>23990625Leo is honestly not all that good in general. People remember it for all the wrong reasons like Moroboshi suddenly being a giant asshole and the whole Silver Bloom thing.
>>23990625>all these kid-centered episodesThe problem I have with Leo is it really highlights a time when kids weren't respected.>Toru cries>"Boys don't cry, get a grip on yourself."Bitch, that kid has seen more violence and death than most combat veterans, he's traumatized. The "boys don't cry" thing is a theme in a bunch of Ultra shows and, I get it, you have to be courageous. But the violence in Leo is on another level and it makes me wonder how it's even considered a kids show. Taro on the other hand...
>>23990629That's a pretty Japanese thing, especially Showa Japanese thing. A lot of the stuff from that same era have similar "you gotta be strong" theme, with varying degrees of execution
>>23990646Depends>Be courageous? Yes>Don't ask for help or show vulnerability? Nah
>>23990629Leo is just such an anomaly for toku. I've seen no other toku like it where the morals seem to be "Let your superiors and peers beat you up, if you ask for help you're a pussy, and anything different from you MUST be killed." Even for the time its insanely sexist.
>>23990627didn't Dan's actor say he hated how Dan was written in Leo
>>23990749Everyone hates how Dan is written in Leo. It's a disease that has stuck to Seven's characterisation to this day. Seven in main continuity after Leo and Seven in his own Heisei series are completely different people. If you watched Heisei Seven, Dan is a cheeky bastard the same way he was portrayed in Seven's original show. Main cont. Seven is just a deadbeat stoic loser
recap
>>23990765In all fairness all of the brothers are portrayed as grizzled old vets now because their actors are all old.
>>23990804I really hate how that's the case
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH-d2q-_bbkSpecial recap.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz46E6yixA8Episode 8 preview.
>I'm the ultimate machine that makes human wishes a reality>OK I wish to be happy>...that's impossible
>>23991044Oh yeah
>>23990853>>23991044That's lame, the premise is non-specific to Teo. A downgrade from the previous few shows which have recaps being the events retold from other perspectives in the same universes.
this final fight was so good
>>23991586Arc is cool in general
>>23991632Its one of my fav series, to be honest. It has its flaws, but it just does so much well.
>>23991640It's my favorite out of the BAOT Ultras so far, although I admit Teo handle the cast better.
>>23991735I like Blazar due to his shenanigans
>>23992079Blazar would be higher on the list if Skard didn't suck ass
Ultraman should've ended after Ginga Season 1.
If I was Bandai's FRS I'd kill myself too if I saw thisPhoto: @Likahao2
Any update to that Liquid2Solid Super Fighter Legends figures?
>>23992084Also the ending arc is terrible. Blazar feels like one of those shows that would have really benefitted from being longer.
new bread here>>23992567>>23992567
