#Igaguri Reito

[2014federalbudget]

Jugglus Juggler + Igaguri Leito -> Kurenai Gai + Sasaki Kana Ultraman Geed the Movie -> Ultraman Taiga the Movie

[askrikkaiandhyotei]

Here’s something for you Ultra lovers, with a bonus female 💙

[jade-lop]

I wanted to watch a Kamen Rider season where the main Rider was a family man with wife and kid(s).

Ultraman already did it twice. Why not Kamen Rider?

[ryuunosenshi]

‘‘Yes, we’re certainly flawed. We’re full of defects. 

Raiha says you should watch what you eat, but eats snacks by herself. 

Pega hides in the shadows when its inconvenient. 

Reito hides from work at the Nebula house. 

Moa eats my ramen whenever she feels down. 

Zena is still scary. 

REM is as strict as ever, I’m no good in her eyes. 

But everyone believes in me. They believed and cheered me on. We are alive, together!‘‘

Finally, Geed series finished. Thank you so much, guys, for becoming good characters and delivering awesome story. See you later in the next year movie!

Bonus : It’s nice seeing Zena officially join the team.

We are still at the midway point for Ultraman Geed, but we are now on the clip-show episode! In recent years, series either focus on single episode to compile the first half, rather than being a last minute catch-up. However, if one saw Ultraman X, he or she was met with three to four clip-shows, after every seven episodes. Never the less, they were not the great… Yet, this one here may have ended the curse of the terrible clip-shows!

  Summary:

REM explains the Crisis Impact, as Riku and Pega play baseball indoors. REM attempts to stop Riku, but he ignores the claim. This leads to Riku and Pega damaging REM. Meanwhile Moa meets with Reito and Ultraman Zero. Zero explains they found Belial’s hideout, but did not encounter him. Zero tries to convince Moa to get AIB to bring in Geed for further assistance. However, Moa tries to deal with the fact Riku is still Ultraman Geed. Whereas, back at the Nebula House, Laiha insists they should feed the lost data back into REM’s data bank!

To recover the lost data, Riku begins to narrate the story of their early adventures. Riku obviously starts with who he met REM and became Ultrama Geed. Riku then follows up by explaining Ultraman Geed’s various forms, and abilities. Soon Reito appears, and Zero takes over to explain his backstory since joining Riku. However, Zero’s ego proves to be too much, as Pega stops him from going into his entire past. Laiha then begins to question the anomalies known as the Little Stars, and their connectivity to the Ultra Capsules.

The discussion about the Little Stars leads our heroes to talk about Kei Fukuide, and his part in Belial’s plan. REM shuts down during their discussion, and Riku believes REM is gone. However, after a “simple reboot,” REM reveals it was just a ploy to teach Riku a lesson. With everything settled with REM, Riku asks Reito why he came by. Reito now in control of his own body, explains he met with AIB and Moa, which interests and enrages Laiha. This leads to Laiha throwing a huge stuffed animal at Riku, but he avoids it only for it to hit REM…

  My Thoughts:

This is one of the few clip-show episodes that I have ever seen present itself as something necessary to the overall plot. In addition, the episode does not use all the footage directly for the intended use to repair REM, but to deal with characters’ inner turmoil. For example, the episode does not start off with Riku, Pega, or Laiha feeding REM the story of how they came to meet; the first flashback literally jumps back to past three episodes with Zero searching for Belial, and Moa discovering Riku is Ultraman Geed. However, as time goes on these personal flashbacks become confined to our cast being located within the Nebula House. Having a majority of the cast in the same location is a regular thing for any clip-show, so I cannot entirely fault it. Yet, starting with Moa, and Reito/ Zero meeting up for a debriefing made the episode feel fresh. It changed the normal aesthetic of a clip-show.

  Other changes with the format of the clip-show was the presentation, and means for its use. Having an amnesia-like plot is not entirely uncommon, but presenting it as a loss of data for a computer/ A.I. sounds very modern or realistic. Then having the cast recount their history together in a refined order of priority than chronological order seemed poetic. I personally feel that the presentation is an effortless way to obtain new viewers without entirely spoiling the preceding episodes’ individual plots. The most that it spoiled was the more recent episodes pertaining to Ultraman Geed Magnificent (Episodes 11 & 12). Now, the ending being revealed to be a method to teach Riku and Pega “a valuable lesson” was just a little ironic, but comedically appealing; especially since the mistake was loosely repeated due to Laiha’s own temper, rather than Riku’s own hijinks.

  Never the less, it is a clip-show episode that will not disappoint viewers, and may bring a new audience. I loved how it managed to focus around the aspects of Ultraman Geed, the Ultra Capsules, and some of the story thus far. It left out some elements to make possible new viewers maybe want to go back, and learn more about what was presented. Furthermore, I am glad the episode explained what power the kid got from the Ultraseven Ultra Capsule/ Little Star, which even I could not originally identify. Yet, I now look forward to the next two episodes as it features the mysterious new kaiju, Zegan the Interdimensional Destruction God. In addition, the episodes guest star, Hiroki Suzuki (Geki Red), as Alien Shadow Kuroto. These two elements will surely intensify the final half of Ultraman Geed… Also, do not forget Mayu is Ultraman Zero’s daughter; she is not Reito’s daughter…

[kagura-izumi]

I watched the Geed movie and originally I was just going to translate the UFZ's parts and Juggler's first scene with Reito but I kind of got caught up in it and ended up translating huge chunks of the movie? So I just going to put them here, they're pretty much in chronological order.

Lots of spoilers under the break! And there are some personal reactions in there because. this movie was, uh, really something

First off the UFZ because I'm biased

Jean-nine: Cleanup complete.

Mirror Knight: We've defeated all the Galactrons that Gilbaris sent here.

Glenfire: Yeah, but how many Galactrons are there? They just keep coming...

Jean-bot: Zero, is the universe you went to previously safe?

Zero: Yeah, don't worry about it. That kid's there, after all.

.

(Just saying Moa asks Reito if the bags he's carrying are gifts for his wife and child and he says yes before this happens)

Reito: Nice to meet you, I'm Igaguri Reito *offers Juggler his business card*

Juggler: Ehhh~ *ASS GRAB* So you're a salaryman, huh? Make sure to tell me what kind of good gifts can be found in Okinawa, okay?

No I am not kidding this is what he literally says I don't know why he said it and honestly I don't want to

.

(This one's kind of painful)

Airu: Only the chosen warriors with righteous hearts can use [the powerup thing]

Juggler: Well, there's no hope for me then.

He walks away saying, "this seems to be a pattern..."

.

Juggler fits in so well in this sleazy alien bar

Also Riku and Pega order hot milk and all the other aliens laugh at them :(

.

Some alien tries to ask Laiha out

Riku, urgently: I am thinking of your safety when I say, please don't do that...

.

Omg they're now in a bar fight and Reito has to call Juggler for help (because Zero isn't there lmao) and

Juggler: *extremely bored tone* Here I am

THEN THERE'S THIS DANCE/FIGHT SCENE WHICH FORCIBLY RIPS MY SOUL FROM MY BODY

.

Gai pops up and gives Riku some fighting advice thanks he needs it

.

Gai: Long time no see...why are you here?

Juggler: Why, just like you, I'm here to protect this universe's peace...just kidding!

(why is he like this)

.

Gai says "nice to meet you" respectfully to Riku then

Gai: Oh, wait, I'm your senior. So I can be less formal. *to Juggler* should I use [casual] you or  [formal] you?

Juggler: Whatever.

.

Backstory on Gilbaris:

Long ago there was this alien race who were very smart

And they wanted to maintain peace or something so they created an artificial brain, which is Gilbaris

Then Gilbaris got warped or something and decided that the only way to truly maintain peace was to basically murder everything

Then the alien race were like well we fucked up and created the [powerup item] to make up for it

Oh and Airu is the remaining member of the alien race!.

.

Gai: I've wandered all alone for a very long time.

In the past, I was very afraid of getting too close to people...and of losing them

But that was just me making trouble for myself (he uses an idiom here which is kinda hard to translate)

Actually, Ultraman aren't perfect.There are some things that you cannot do just by yourself.

I told you to relax your shoulders (fighting advice from just now) in the hope that you would not have so much of a burden on them

(Above line is more literally translated, I'm not quite sure how to get the meaning across in English)

Oh no Riku doesn't seem to truly understand Gai's speech :(.

.

Riku, upon seeing Thunder Breaster: We look so similar!.

.

Okay so the UFZ rushed to Earth but the weird Gilbaris planet thing is closing in...

Jean-bot: We...probably cannot make it in time.

Zero, in the tone of someone who's about to do something dumb: Watch me! *dives to Earth and barely, barely, makes it*

Jean-bot: He's as reckless as usual.

Jean-nine: Seems like our only option is to remain here and protect them.

Glenfire: Its up to you, Zero, Orb! And! Ge..Geeg...Geep...wait, I remember! Geed!

(screams I love the UFZ).

.

Omg when Zero shows up Riku's like *tapping imaginary watch* this is what you mean by the star always showing up late, right?

.

Orb uses X's cyber dimension power to rescue Riku, which is pretty neat

.

Bad stuff happens and then...

Riku: It's all my fault [that Zero and Gai are missing? Maybe dead?]. Gai gave me advice just now, but I didn't listen properly...I'm not fit to be an Ultra Warrior, I'm nothing like a hero!

Moa: That's not true! Riku, you're -

Riku: No, it's true! I couldn't protect either the city or its people! Gilbaris is so strong. There's no way I can protect Earth by myself!

*A lot happens*

Reito, getting beaten up: If only I had Zero's strength...

Zero,out of nowhere: Didn't I tell you? That even if I'm not there, you still have to keep trying (he said this in the last episode) *possesses Reito and beats up all the mooks*

Reito: Zero! Are you alright?

Zero: lol it's 20 000 years too early for you to worry about me

Turns out that this fucker used Shining to send himself and Orb to the future (I hate time travel) but Shining takes up a lot of strength so he's "counting on Reito again"

Reito: It's my pleasure, Zero!

.

Raiha: Riku, we all believe in you! The first time I saw you, I already resolved myself to do so!

Moa: Have courage! You can do it!

Zero: You have no limits, Riku!

Reito: Show us your strength!

Gai: Riku, your wish to protect everyone is like light!

Pega: Riku, you are the one who will change your fate, right?

Rem: Sitting around doing nothing will get you nowhere.

Riku: Everyone...

Airu: Riku, you are not alone! Don't forget that you have all these reliable friends by your side!

Riku: This...has all been my fault. I wanted so much to protect everyone, yet I always kept struggling on my own...I didn't even notice the people at my side.

Airu: Riku...the reason why you can defy your fate and change your future...is because of the support of your friends' smiles. They gave you strength, and courage...you are not alone. I believe you can do it...because all of you...

(Wow they just straight up fridged her which is :/)

Raiha: Stand up, Riku! Don't you want to protect this planet, that she loved so much? Pull yourself together, Riku!

Riku: I...wil become strong.

Riku: Sitting around doing nothing won't get me anywhere!

.

Riku: This strength is...Rem: The insecurity (literally "poison") that's been clouding your mind has been converted into strength due to the [powerup item]

Zero: Well, the star finally showed up.

.

Juggler: This is such a bother...who cares about protecting peace?

THEN HE JUST. LEAVES

.

Gilbaris: To maintain peace, I murdered all sentient beings etc etc

Zero: if you must come, come at me bro (okay he didn't say that but you get the drift)

Gai: We will stop you!

Riku: For Airu's wish for peace!

.

Gilbaris: *monologuing about how murder is the only way to preserve peace blah blah*

Zero: fuck you and your fake deep philosophy (literally "I don't care about your argument")!

Gai: Destruction can never create true peace!

Riku: It's true that we are flawed...that we have many flaws!

Raiha always says we need to eat healthy...but she sometimes eats junk food!

Pega always hides away the second he might get in trouble!

Reito keeps skipping work to hang out at the Nebula House!

Moa eats my cup noodles whenever she's unhappy!

Zena never has an expression on his face! (Memory Zena: How many more noodles are you going to eat. Let's go.)

Rem never changes ("doesn't adapt")!

I too have a lot of flaws! But everyone believes in me! And keeps on trying!

So I want to continue living with everyone!

I want to go to the future with everyone!

Gilbaris: Unable to compute rise in Geed's strength. 

Riku: We are all Ultra Warriors!

.

Glen: Sweet! They won!

Meanwhile on Earth...

Moa: Sweet! We won!

.

Glen: Well, we sure finished up here!

Zero: And very nicely, too

Riku: Thank you very much, Zero! And all of Zero's friends!

Mirror Knight: No need to be so polite! *steps forward* It'll make us embarrased.

At the same time, one of the Jeans:  We were only doing our duty.

Glen: *to Mirror* Hey, don't stand in front of me!

AND THEN

Jean-nine: What's wrong, brother?

Jean-bot: He...reminds me of someone. Pardon me, but could you say, "Jean Fight"?

Riku: ??

Zero: Hey, he does kinda resemble...

Riku: Jean Fight!

Jean-bot: Hmm, it's not that much of a resemblance, actually

Everyone: wtf Jean-bot he's played by the same actor

Glen: What are you doing? Did you malfunction or something, grilled chicken?

Jean-bot: I am not grilled chicken! I am Jean-bot!

Zero: You guys are sooo noisy...

Mirror Knight: I strongly agree

Zero: Anyway, we'll leave this planet to you, Riku! No, Ultraman Geed!

While the UFZ are leaving...

Glen: I wanna be an Ultra Warrior~

Zero: omg shut up

.

Reito: Guys! Wait! GUYS! You forgot to take your gifts!

(Awwwww)

.

Riku: I still have my friends. And as long as I'm together with everything, I can overcome any difficulty...that's why we're all Ultra warriors!

.

The end OR SO YOU THOUGHT

.

Gai: What are you up to? ...So you still play with dolls?

Juggler, highly offended: This is an Okinawan specialty.

(skipped a few lines here)

Gai: You never change.

Juggler: And I won't...until I defeat you.

Gai: See you around.

[himitsusentaiblog]

not sure how to word this question but i'll try. how much does an ultra generally communicate their with chosen host?

I think it really all depends on the Ultra in question as well as some other factors.  Let’s look at the very first Ultraman and his relationship with Shin Hayata. As far as I can recall, I only remember Ultraman ‘speaking’ to Hayata once and that was after he accidentally killed him and was preparing to fuse their essences to save the human.

Judging by the original ending to the series, where Ultraman leaves and Hayata has no memory of his time with the giant hero, it was Ultraman in charge of their fusion the entire time just borrowing Hayata’s memories to pass as him. 

Maybe Hayata’s death took a long time to repair for the Ultra and Hayata remained basically in a coma and animated by the alien the entire time.  Or maybe Ultraman had never tried anything like this before and had gotten the balance between himself and Hayata wrong.  It’s never really stated in the program itself.  I will say that Ultraman must have taken a real liking to Hayata because when he takes human form in later series entries, it is always in the form of the SSSP Officer.

Let’s jump way ahead now to the current series, Ultraman Geed, and the relationship between Ultraman Zero and his human host, Reito Igaguri.

Zero merges with Reito to save his life much like the original Ultraman did with Hayata but it is clear that Reito is still in command most of the time.  It’s also clear that the two are in constant mental communication and frequently disagree with the proper course of action.  As well as arguing occasionally it is shown that Zero has some control over Reito’s actions when Reito is not transformed and the two have been seen struggling when Zero wants to transform but Reito wants to do work for his job.

In fact, you can see a clear shift of who is in control because when Zero takes full control of Reito’s body, he removes Reito’s glasses and speaks in his own voice.  Apparently, this can be thwarted by just putting Reito’s glasses back on as was seen in the most recent (19 as of this writing) episode where Kei’s new human ally keeps Zero from getting involved in her partner’s latest plot.

So, you can see the level of control and communication between Ultrahero and their human host varies.  We’ve even seen (in the Ultraman Saga movie) that a truly reluctant or resentful human host can have a negative impact on the hero’s ability to properly transform as when Zero was merged with Super GUTS rookie Taiga.  Taiga didn’t want any part of being fused with an Ultra and thus when Zero initially forced him to transform, Zero emerged greatly reduced in height and power!

Once they came to an understanding, that problem was solved but it does show that in some cases, when the merging is unwilling or less than an equal partnership, the results can be less than optimal. 

[kabutoraiger]

having pondered it, i’ve decided that it’s entirely possible that high&low and ultraman geed take place in the same universe, one where mild-mannered dad igaguri reito used to be a punk-ass delinquent but has since reformed and attempted to erase all evidence of his sordid past. he’s even done his best to train the “fight” out of himself, becoming more clumsy & meek through willpower alone, however by the ease in which zero uses his body (if he was just a regular salaryman would he really have the physical ability to pull off some of those moves? questionable) to take down assailants we can see that the potential is still there beneath the surface. thank you for reading my thesis

Ultraman Geed thoughts 3

We open on Ultraman Zero travelling between universes. Considering on Geed earth it's presumably been either 6, 17 or even longer years since the Crisis Impact, I nonetheless suspect that for Zero significantly less time has passed. The Ultimate Aegis vanishes, clearly damaged, when Zero arrives in Geed Earth, and the Ultimate Brace is clearly damaged. It seems like Zero expected this. Speaking of, another battle is going on. We see a man trip as the citizens flee, and a kid look back. The battle is between Geed and Darkclops Zero, who we haven't seen since Belial's Galactic Empire. Apparently the while robot thing makes it hard for Geed to damage Darkclops. Zero lands, and suspects from Darkclops' presence that Belial is alive. The two Wide Zero Shot eachother, with Zero seemingly winning as Darkclops flees. Zero asks Geed if he's alright, and briefly thinks he's Belial on seeing his eyes, but realises he can't be. Geed vanishes due to hitting his limit as Zero calls to him. As Pega and Raiha pick Riku up, Zero is surprised to see that he's a kid. A building starts to fall at the kid, and the salary range sees this, and tries to save him, but slips and is hit by a van. At Nebula House, REM explains that Zero is Belial's greatest enemy, and that Darkclops Zero is a robot based in him. Because of his own relationship to Belial, they suspect Zero will not trust him. Riku decides to sleep. At the hospital, a pair of nurses are discussing how the salaryman has no hope of recovery. Zero appears, recognising his heroic spirit for trying to save the boy, and possesses him in the manner of Jack possessing Go Hideki. The salaryman wakes up, confused, and flees the hospital. Finding a strange glasses like object he mercifully doesn't throw it away, but does run due to being late. Zero speaks directly to the salaryman, after he misses his meeting. Igaguri Reito, first freaks out about the voice he's hearing, then wonders why he's the one being possessed. When some punks hassle him Zero takes direct control to kick their collective asses, but Reito freaks out more when he resumes control. At Nebula House Raiha does some training. Meanwhile Riku us apparently trying to figure out how to show Ultraman Zero he isn't an enemy. Pega finds footage of the boy from earlier being saved by an energy shield, so they decide he's another Little Star. As the news is either declaring Geed is or isn't an enemy, Reito arrives home to his wife, Lumina. He seems to have partially adjusted to his new situation, explaining by sort of pretending to be on the phone to Zero that Lumina is his wife and that Mayu, asleep in another room, is his daughter. Zero takes control to save a dish from being smashed. When the news is mentioning Zero, he for some reason possesses Reito again to use his Zero Slugger skills with a pen to turn off the TV at a distance. Mayu, awake thanks to the dish incident, says hello to her father. While meeting with someone at a café (a publisher maybe), Fukuide Kei uses his evil vision to see from miles away the aura of a Little Star. The boy has been able to use it to smash rocks now. Riku and Raiha approach him, and e tries to run. Riku plans to use Don Shine to approach him. Zero explains to Reito that this world was destroyed, and we learn now that as that happened, Ultraman King, one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse, flew into the centre of the destruction and reformed earth around himself, resulting in Geed Earth. The image of Belial is from that moment. Zero has apparently been searching for the Ultra Capsules since. Fukuide, nearby, possibly detecting who Reito is, pulls out the Darkclops Zero capsule, and uses his Riser to summon the robot again, facing where Riku, Raiha and the boy are. The boy decides to try to fight, forcing Raiha to run after him, while Riku transforms into Geed. The boy refuses to stop as Geed starts fighting, and Fukuide turns out to have two more Darkclops Zero capsules, and uses them to increase the threat. The boy calls out in support of Geed, and the Little Star leaves him and activates the Ultraseven Capsule. Using the Ultraseven Capsule with the Ultraman Leo capsule, Riku becomes Ultraman Geed Solid Burning. I figure I should talk a little about the difference and similarity with Orb. Orb's forms, at least him initial three forms, combined traits of Ultras who had similar abilities, and his physical form always had some traits of his true form as well. Geed, in his initial 3 forms, instead combines traits of Ultras with the same body colour (aside from the fact Belial is black in his Reiyonix form, his original form was silver) The only real evidence of Geed is that the eyes are the same each time. Observing Geed's change, Zero notes that the present form embodies his father and his master, and realises Geed is using the Ultra Capsules. Using the Solar Boost attack from his chest, he overcomes one Darkclops' Dimension Storm, destroying it. Using the Geed Slugger he overpowers a Darkclops using it's Zero Sluggers, and destroys it using the Boost Slugger Kick. He defeats the last using the Strike Boost. Later, Riku buys a Don Shine capsule toy, and runs into the kid briefly by chance. Raiha tidies up Riku's stuff a little. Reito sees the punks again, who run away. He picks up some rubbish they dropped.
