What are your thoughts on Zero's Cormo Rise and special?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX4gbdbFqNg
>>23992572I don't think about Zero at all.
>>23992632I only think about Zero because he takes up 25% of every thread which means any opinion I had in the past has been replaced with a kind of annoynace.
>>23992572it was pretty boring. not very creative in terms of storytelling. visuals are pretty good when it comes to the actual cosmorise thing but pacing is awful. i know people joke about tokusatsu being an elaborate toy commercial, but this "special movie" is literally, exactly that.
>>23992673>>23992673It's what I've been saying all along. Current Tsuburaya staff don't want to do this kind of crossover/Land of light story at all anymore, and they're just doing this Zero stuff to get the crossover toyline out of the way from the tv show.
What's the "nin nin nin nin nin nin" song that's sung multiple times during Ultraman Leo, most notably during episode 3 right before Tooru's dad gets gored?
>>23992684I thought it was because of the rights issue with the chinks?
Have any of the lead ultra actors ever had any controversies? like arrests, drug usage, and domestic violence complaints?pic unrelated
so the asshole finally shows up huh
these are from the september previews on tsuburaya if anyones wondering
>>23992727Musashi got hit with accusations of wifebeating but he beat the allegations no issue.
Is it bad to say I do not care about this crossover at all?
>>23992727Ultraman Scott's voice actor had an abuse controversy few years ago
>>23992753Crossover always suck because it lowered the stakes.Not that Ultraman has many to begin with. If an Ultraman from another universe/dimension can suddenly just saves the day it's making the struggles pointless.
What threat could be so big it needs these 3 fuckers
>>23992765Especially if that Ultra is Zero.
>>23992765Z basically turning Gilvalis into a fodder against an online quiz was something. It's why I like Trigger and Z's more, as it was just two Ultras finding themselves dealing with the same nuisances
How do you pronounce Agul? The English way of ah-ghoul or the Japanese pronounciation of ah-goo-roo
>>23992632you mean zero thoughts
>>23992757the fact that he managed to reprise the role in UGF some time before the controversy
>>23992767Pucchi and Teo are dead weight with Zero there.
>>23992797Agool. It comes from AGGRessive/AGReement.
>>23992572Mostly whatever. It follows the same beats as basically every other time Zero gets some mysterious unbeatable superpower. I'm not a big fan of the Ultrise Eye. The sounds are kind of obnoxious and it's basically just Kamen Rider Decade's K-Touch but more powerful. The fact that Zero now has four ridiculously powerful forms with broken abilities that are now easily accessible means he can easily trivialize basically any fight he joins.
The voice of Ultraman Z.
>>23992572I like how his jingle contains bits of Ultraman's OP but as a form it feels a bit too much for Ultraman. The type of "don't think too hard about it" bullshit from Sentai and Rider. Z can just summon previous ultras and spam finishers until the enemy submits is boring and overpowered as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NqyHe5GkkYMiyano.
>>23992825Tsupro needs the money though, and Zero always seems to bring in the money
>>23992572A bit weak story wise, and I say this as someone who's a sucker for UGF and crossover stuff. Zero 'jobbing' in order to receive Ultrise Eye felt sonunearned, a literal hand me down. And while I expect Zero would get a more powerful form, Cosmo Rise is a tad bit too OP. I wish it had some limitations.That being said I love the Ultrise Eye.
>>23992731I like Zero but I really think this is a dumb move. Zero is his own marketing engine. Teo being basically on his own is one of the big points of the show.
wild
>>23992767the kaiju is definitely Project Red's omegahorn's rejected design...
>>23992727Dunno if this is count as controversies but Hideo Ishiguro got a lot of hate (including chinese fans) about his AI-generated show. So much so that there's a gossip spreading in baidu about his real attitude.

>>23992765>>23992731I can forgive him if he jeep-trains Teo
>>23993126Okay so now we’re just making Teo feel bad.God we need an Ultra who keeps up with Zero
>>23993126i hope the final arc is still Redman showing up to kill the Puchi
I mean there's giving him a wakeup call that he needs to nut up and then there's just humiliation.
do americans really
The crossover episodes are always considered the worst parts of the series. Why do they keep doing them?
>>23993391Eh the Arc-Zangill one was alright. Too bad it was ruined by the "blazar-but-not-the-blazar-we-know" part after that.
>>23993391Disagree. The Z crossover with Trigger was the best part of that show.
>>23993296Zero works better when he's isolated in his own things or shows up in something that already matches his energy. It's jarring with Teo, which seems to be trying to be a more low key and down to earth show. Zero and his loud showboating shonen protagonist thing just doesn't fit. He really does feel like Ultraman Poochie sometimes but unfortunately China loves him, so he won't go away.
>>23993395According to Tsuburaya, its somehow the smae Blazar as the show.
>>23993395>>23993447Yeah, first showed up in a relationship chart and then also referenced as such in the last recap show. They just couldn't get any of the human cast to make guest appearances, but it's supposed to be the same world.

>>23993126This sounds like Zero would have shown up in >>23993122 already
I really hope we see Kamisori Demaaga again someday
>>23993355I want to fuck Pucchi so much.
>>23993391they sell toys
>>23993957I want to see TsuPro do a Ghidorah clone or Mechagodzilla clone instead of just another regular Godzilla clone
>>23994386Did the latter kinda
>>23993680Oh, so it's that one song that appears in Taro (IIRC). Thanks a lot anon.
>>23994395Cyber kaiju are never specified to be robot clones, most of them are regular kaiju and kaijins with added X powers
>>23993395>Arc-Zangill one was alrightSometimes I wish it really just Zangill's spirit traveling between universes and he arrived on Omega's world too.
Scans wen
>>23993395blazar's part of the croosover was really just to waste 2 episodes of arc's runtime isnt it. fucking ridiculous how much of a nothingburger that second half of the crossover was
>>23995604Those last two episodes could've been used to develop the cast or world of Arc
sex with Bogal
>>23995265What aboot Mecha-Gomora?
>>23996099Gomora was never intended as a copy of Godzilla
>>23996121No but Mecha-Gomora is a robot copy of Gomora specifically to defeat a Gomora (Rei's). That fills the Mechagodzilla niche pretty precisely.
what Ultra series is like this
24 hours after Dolly Parton died, Kilokhan's voice actor and legendary American actor Tim Curry passed away, too.
69 years old this year for the voice of Ultraman Hikari.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OE8ktRMrv4Tiga,
Would Ultraman want me to give up hope for the world?
>>23996153Each Mechagodzilla had a different origin behind it The first was made by aliens who came from a dead solar system specifically as a killing machine. The second and third were made by the military to protect Japan, the former reverse-engineering future technology, the other using the Original ShodaiGoji skeleton as the frame of a cyborg body
>>23997008Alien Magma is hilariously hype, like a pro wrestler.
>>23997168>The first was made by aliensJust like Mecha-Gomora, who was made by the Salome aliens.
>>23997142So will we be seeing some other H12 Uktras later? We have to see at least the red one. You can't just make him stand out and just ignore him.
>>23997138I'm tired of these monsters that are based off Zetton
>>23997135is that a frilless Gabora or a new kaiju?
>>23997135>>23997138now that is very fucked up looking kaiju lol. and of course zero starts flexing strong corona on the guy who can't really change forms>>23997142these look so good for a NPC type of suit. Like they have more personality than land of light residents. I hope we see them because some of them did manage to escape like teo did>>23997237i feel like the red one will eventually show up as a mentor to teo, either as a ghost imparting the correct way to use the crystar or just showing up as a human and transforming once and then disappearing
>>23997770Really, they could've use the red ultra or the other H12 ultras to train Teo instead of having Zero.
>>23997819Zero sells and he has a movie coming up
>>23992731He seems so out of place in this show.I don't feel like Teo should be exposed to another traditional Ultra so quickly, it really takes away some of the appeal of watching him find his own way.
>>23993094Eh? I think it's a lot more appealing than the roided out human body on the omegahorn kaiju.
>>23997138very showa design
>>23997770heh, yeah. unless zero will help teo achieve a new form. I really pray Teo Active is a proper/new suit form change. since they got money to make these other h12 citizens, they should spare some for their MAIN ultra of the year....wouldn't teo's color changing gimmick counts as a form change, since they lasts at least for 5 seconds each.
>>23997859The color changes just happen during specific attacks though, rather than actually acting like forms like people expected before the show started.
I find it funny that this goofy looking thing is probably the most powerful choju Ace battled in his own show. The thing beats the shit out of him and Ace only wins because he's able to literally shoot it in the back.
The spread.
>>23997946and one of the most tragic kaijus...
>>23997947what the fuck is that thing on the bottom left corner
Zero looks ugly and Teo is handsome. Unfortunate that I have to see Zero's ugly head rear into my Teo-time.
>>23997961honestly any of Zeros alternate forms look better then his base form
>>23997947>HELLO TYRANNOSAURS ALAN!
Higher quality pages.
Zero was the absolute worst possible choice for a crossover Ultra for Teo. Why not Cosmos? He's more thematically in line with the show's tone and could also show Teo that sometimes you have to lay the smackdown because taking the peaceful approach isn't going to work and both approaches are valid. You can be peaceful and not like conflict but still understand that it's unavoidable sometimes and you have to be able to face it.
>>23998341probably because of Bandai's demand or something. considering Tsupro managed to convince Bandai letting Teo not having excessive gimmicks and relagate all the anniversary marketing to Zero, they eventually have to put him in the mainline show to market the toy further. I'm gonna be annoyed that Zero is gonna get glazed harder than he was in X at this stage.
I have to say, Sompote personal collections is really good. First time I'm seeing Tohl Narita original painting and concept arts for the kaiju

I don't hate Zero but Teo meeting him this early feels like a fucking in-universe spoiler for his path to heroism.
>>23998443>>23998441He's just Ultraman if he were a kaiju instead of an alien
So after over 2 decades we're FINALLY getting another Baragon inspired kaiju
>>23993433It'll work better than it did in Geed at leastGeed was unironically more low key than Teo; Pegassa didn't do shit compared to Pucchi and neither did whatever the joke of the kaiju organization in Geed was called. At least UTTF seem to be actually putting in effort, we'll see if it results in anything
I’ve been really enjoying Teo. The Zero crossover has me worried the story is going to falter, but I’ll stay optimistic.
>>23998905The crossover episodes are always the low point of the show so it'll be nothing new
>>23998905I'm not really enjoying it. It's just been a bunch of babysitting so far. Babysitting Pucchi, babysitting cats. A scientist chick babysitting a bird kaijuFrankly Zero is what this show needs to inject some life into it
>>23998931I don't know, I thought the Decker-Trigger and Z-Ace crossovers were decent.
>A fifth Baragon variant
Pucchi has jetpacks?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iXg6SpH8mYHow was Teo's 8th episode?
Pucchi is more useful at this kaiju fighting business than Teo
Pucchi Is too cute.
I'm invested, but I hate these two-parter episodes. I hated them when Kamen Rider was doing them, and I still hate them now
>>23999002I feel that doing 2-parters almost back to back is a bit excessive, but I feel we're getting character development for the cast so I currently can't complain.
>>23998984easily my fav ep so far. Great mix of action and character development. Volthog is a great new addition to the electric kaiju family and Pucchi is fucking awesome
>>23999002ok zoomer
Really loving today's episode. The beginning fight and the far-off shots of the kaiju are really nice. Love that they also touch on how even in the UTTF, the motives don't align. Also, Teo pulling off a running kousen point blank was totally unexpected. He's a lot more skilled then he lets on.
>>23999050the visuals of Teo have been really good
>>23999050I also like that it seems using his powers is actually painful as well as exhausting, really adds depth to an Ultra where normally they are god-like. The direction and suit actor are doing an amazing job.
Over archin cat plot is fun.
>>23999115I don't know if I like them more than other recent series, but they've certainly been creative.
>>23999251
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqRsW9ka4U8Episode 9 preview.
>>23999270im gonna laugh my fucking ass off if Pucchi manages to fend off a kaiju which makes it more successful than jobbergaron
Kekky...
so there's a trademark of a pucchi getting another form called demon modification pucchi. meanwhile nothing for teo....
>>23999907any other trademarks besides that?
Teo has been a pleasent surprise after the blandness that was Omega. I hope it can keep up the quality.
>>23999930No so far. I hope Teo gets something. If pucci gets form changes but the titular ultra doesn't, means tsupro is smoking.
>>23999907He's totally getting kidnapped and body modded. Poor guy.
>>24000141I'm shocked at how much I like Pucchi. ot only is he cute, but he's charming and likeable as well as helpful. He feels more like an actual character rather then just a cute mascot.
>>23993433>Zero works better when he's isolated in his own thingsIt's why I'm salty that Zero is retconned into the representative of NewGen instead of Ginga. Zero stands on his own, he's like Spider-Man
>>24000283I think Ginga just isn't very popular or interesting to a lot of people
>>24000283>>24000297that and China has a boner for Zero. I never get the sun wukong Zero connection though.
>>24000297That is the sad part about NewGen in general. Even back then they originally wanted Orb to be the leader of the group because of his popularity.But whenever I see Man representing Showa, Tiga representing Heisei/High Concept, I wish Ginga would be representing NewGen while Zero is his own because he's affiliated with all three.
>>24000283>Zero is retconned into the representative of NewGen instead of GingaThis was never a thing. The only reason why Zero even stands with representatives of showa, heisei, reiwa, and any new guy is because he's the face of the entire company
>>24000694you mean the face of nu-tsupro.
Am I crazy or are they adding layers to the ending song every couple episodes? I feel like it'll have straight up lyrics by the end of the show.
