A Slow-Moving Ice Monster, Details To Follow

“I want to leave this body to the humans of tomorrow.”

Been sitting on this for a while. Shin Ultraman touched me in a way that I don’t think any other film ever has or will and for that reason I poured every bit of passion I could muster into this piece. Seriously adore this film.

There's a dance party on the Ultra Q set!

Shin Ultraman CG Modeling

I see no one has shared this here, so I have to do just that, for the fanartist out there.

There's an interesting bit at Zarab's design later, and I can only think of one/two things the production decided to use the final model we see in the movie

Also, I finally see a design that shows where Zoffy's V-stripe (under the W-stripe on the chest) goes, 'cuz I'm fairly convinced it couldn't/shouldn't have abruptly ends at the armpits

[tsunflowers]

I'm so happy that this is official lore that i drew more stuff for pulsar to wear. also I gave her little fangs

favorite accessory (purely decorative) - houlinga flower and maga-bassar feathers

ice goggles (for hunting peguila) - carved gomess horn

waterproof cape (for camouflage and staying dry) - gedos skin

face paint (for feeling fierce) - don't think about it too hard

The Death of Chemies

New Generation Stars: With a new idea on mind, Yuka starts examining Windom's records, telling Ediom that the unit it was developed from, XSAA-8, outran an Idatenran, and observe the records of it battling Peguila. They then discuss King Joe, Yuka showing Z battling the one brought there, and Ediom showing the one battled by Rosso and Blu, before Yuka refocuses on STORAGE Custom, observing the recovery and then it's first battle against Grigio Raiden, and discuss briefly what they learnt about Raiden's relation to their work. They then move to the battle against M1. Ediom notes each SAA unit has its own role, and Yuka has a flash on inspiration, conceiving of Perfect Sevengar, a configuration where Sevengar gains mobility through Windom's thrusters and firepower from King Joe's arsenal. Ediom is not convinced it will work.

Gotchard: They rush SkeBows to the academy, but Kyouka confirms there's nothing to be done, because the Chemy's own malice was used, the finishing blow damaged the Chemy itself. Distraught, Hotaro leaves for home, and Hopper1, remembering the story of the golden flowers, sneaks away from him to find some. The AntRooper Malgam starts rampaging, and while Rinne, Renge and Sabimaru don't want to kill the Chemies anymore that Hotaro does, they know they have to at least try to stop it. When she finds him withdrawn, Hotaro's mother makes him the same food she used to make when he was depressed over his father leaving. A little better, he goes to apologise to Hopper1 for rebuffing it earlier, only to find it missing, and starts looking meanwhile, every time Hopper1 finds golden flowers something stops it getting them. The kids are trying to fight the Malgam, but are averse to killing it and struggle thanks to the cloning ability. Gigist explains to Atropos and Clotho his plan. The Chemy inside Hotaro has enabled or enhanced his ability to transmute himself using the Gotchardriver, and this has entwined him and the Chemy so much they cannot be separated, so he intends to force Hotaro to become a Malgam so he can separate them. Clotho doesn't believe Hotaro will fall that easily, leading Atropos to scold her, before asking if Gigist will revive Greyon when his power is restored, but Greyon effectively dismisses her wishes as a doll playing at having feelings. Hotaro stumbles on the battle, and after hesitating, to me project his friends becomes LightningJungle to try and stop the Malgam, while Hopper1 stumbles on some yellow flowers. Eventually all the students are overpowered, when Minato and Spanner arrive and, choosing the students over the Chemy, defeat all the Malgam copies, Spanner manages to capture AntRooper, only for it to die in the card. Hopper1 approaches with the flowers, only to be caught by Gigist. It tries to resist the darkness by evolving to CrossHopper, but Gigist knows the brightest lights cast the darkest shadow, and the Hopper1 Malgam is born. Struggling to resist the urge with Hotaro, it overpower Valvarad. Seeing the pain, Hotaro offers to let it hurt him, but Hopper1 can't. Unfortunately it has no such compunctions when a kid runs in for its toy, and Hotaro is forced to protect them and their mother, using Iron Gotchard to defeat the Malgam. Holding Hopper1's lifeless body, Hotaro sees the flower and realises it wanted to cheer him up, and realising he has killed his first and oldest friend, loses himself to malice, until the egg materialises around him protectively and teleports them away. As everyone else is left confused at what happens, within the egg the remorseful Hotaro is greeted by the egg, addressing him by name.

Boonboomger: Work is finishing on Boonboom Safari and Boonboom Marine, Taiya has been inspired by the Engines to give them AI programmed by Chassiro. On activation it seems they may not trust the team, so Mira and Jou make a contest to see who can get their trust first, as Genba enjoys the sight. Meanwhile, Cannonborg is finishing work in a secret project, which involves what looks like a replica Boonboom Changer. Taiya delivers to a middle-aged mother a cassette tape of her own mother's enka singing, Genba eager to get his own procurement fee but before Taiya can pay him Dekotread of the Sanseaters calls the Boonboomgers out. When the heroes arrive, they declare their victory, using the imitation Boomboom Changer to summon Boonboom Killer Robo, which plays an ondo that cranks down the team's gears, and Boonboom is also affected, unable to send the cars for rescue, Genba manages to use a fire extinguisher as a distraction though. At base nobody has any motivation. Genba gets resolute, and as Taiya contemplates a way to smash the speakers on Killer Robo, realises Genba is gone. Safari seems to have taken note. Genba goes to the Sanseaters, volunteering to help procure Gyasoline, and when the team spot him he's getting them all items to crank them up. With Dekotread motivated for karaoke, Itashar activates Killer Robo again. Mira starts questioning Genba's motives but works it out, as Genba suggests the Hashiliens are the new Boomboomgers, getting them hyped enough they get affected by the speakers, at the same time the Boomboomgers have the affect reversed. Inspired by Genba's example, Safari launches on it's own and destroys the speakers. When the Boonboomgers Change, the Sanseaters board Boonboom Killer Robo, so they summon Boonboomger Robo to battle, but thanks to some illegal mods the fake has the edge. Genba summons Boonboom Safari, and Boonboomger Robo Safari Custom uses it's claws to slice the fake apart. Back at base, Jou and Mira both want to win Marine over, as Genba enjoys Boonboom's latest fried offering, everyone else nervous over it.

Ultra Q is magical

Ultra Q is a weird show. And I don't mean that in the way some westerners do when they see something slightly Japanese and say "What drugs were they on???". No. Ultra Q was weird even by (maybe more so by) the standards of tokusatsu media in 1966. 

How do you even explain the premise of Ultra Q? A reporter and her two pilot friends repeatedly experience strange phenomena, sometimes manmade, sometimes alien, and sometimes just nature in unbalance, all illustrated through Eiji Tsubaraya's special effects, often reused and modified from past productions. 

It feels bizarre to watch Ultra Q removed from its original context. I am not a Japanese child who rushes through their dinner so they can make time to watch this show they've waited all week to see. To watch a show that despite being on a tiny tube TV, had effects that could rival the big-budget theatrical kaiju films of the era. I am instead a 19-year-old Canadian who bought the Blu-ray set, and can watch any episode at any time, all gorgeously and meticulously restored in high definition. Seeing it like this, I am often impressed with the amount of detail and care put into props that would have never shown in its original broadcast, and just as often I laugh at the obvious faults in the special effects that also would not have been noticeable in said original broadcast.

But the thing is, when I step back and look at this through the eyes of its original presentation, I am wowed. I think if I was a child watching this, I would just think that it's real. Seriously. So much effort has clearly been put in to sell this. More so than so many kaiju stories at the time, there's almost always a personal connection in the sci-fi/fantasy elements. Always a person who this story affects personally that we get to see in-depth. It goes a long way to make the unreal feel real. Almost every episode ends with a stinger about how "this could happen to you!". When a mysterious phantom train is taking people to another world in an episode, the narrator tells you to be careful boarding the train at night. There's an episode where Earth gets a warning from an alien guardian. Her people have designated her as Earth's protector and she warns us of a different alien threat. At the end of the story, she decides that she's fallen in love with our planet and our people, and wants to live here permanently. The narrator tells us that many of her people have made the same decision as Earth is a beautiful and peaceful planet. We then cut to a series of shots of people nearby, all wearing the same distinctive shoes as the woman in the episode. I can guarantee you that if I watched that as a kid, not only would I become convinced that aliens live among us, but I would start looking for them the next day. Ultra Q wants you to believe that you live in a beautiful and strange world and that might be my favourite aspect of it. 

The amount of creativity on display here is insane. It's always pushing itself to come up with new and creative stories. Some of my favourite episodes here are Mammoth Flower, a story where a strange plant monster takes root beneath Tokyo and sprouts out to destroy buildings (the main inspiration for the villain in one of my favourite kaiju films Gamera 2: Attack of Legion). Peguila is Here!, the only episode that doesn't take place in Japan as it sees our protagonists venture to the south pole to meet a woman searching for her missing fiance, the only lead being his journal warning of the monster Peguila. Space Directive M774, the previously mentioned episode with the alien woman. They get very creative with the ways she communicates with our cast, and the alien threat is a giant stingray which hatches from an egg on the ocean floor. Very cool stuff. Metamorphosis is another episode that sees a woman searching for her fiance. This time he's been infected by a strange species of butterfly that caused him to grow to a giant size. They have to appeal to his emotion to get him to shrink down. Open Up!, the series finale. This is about the aforementioned train. It takes away those who are fed up with their lives and wish to escape them. Some realize that they didn't appreciate what they had and leave. Some leave and then come back again because they're the problem in their lives, not other people. One of the few episodes with a real moral message and it's surprisingly complex. It also forces our protagonists to reflect on their lives

My absolute favourite episode of the series is Blazing Glory. A fighter nicknamed Dynamite Joe has been on a spectacular rise in the world of boxing. Throughout it all, he's been caring for his pet alligatorsaurus Peter. Peter has the ability to change size based on temperature, and also telepathically tells Joe the outcome of his matches ahead of time. Before his championship fight Joe disappears and the gang finds him washed up as a clown that performs at a motel, drinking himself away in shame. Peter had told him that in the championship he would be knocked out in the third round. They fail to convince him to return to boxing, but eventually, Peter breaks loose, starting a large fire and disappearing from Joe's life. After his near-death experience and loss of Peter, Joe decides to return to boxing. He realizes that knowing the outcome of every match killed his ambition to better himself, and the true beauty of life comes from its unpredictability. For me, this is Ultra Q at its best. It pushes the envelope to tell new and exciting stories with its medium that try and make you believe in a wild and wonderful world. It's truly a show that has never been truly replicated, partially because of the wild success of Ultraman, but also just because it is a one-of-a-kind joyous celebration of Eiji Tsubaraya's life and career.

Kenny's upset because Peguila took his airplane model and won't give it back.

Peguila

Un monstruo helado originario de las regiones polares del planeta, nadie podía olvidar al Monstruo Helado, PEGUILA. La bestia una vez atacó Tokio en 1966 después de ser expulsada de su hábitat natural, convirtiendo el área metropolitana en un páramo helado con su aliento helado mientras el humo negro que emitía de su cuerpo oscurecía su forma de cualquier combate a distancia. Fue solo después del uso de la toxina como arma; Pegimin H, que el monstruo se llevó a los cielos y nunca regresó desde entonces. Otro Peguila tocaría tierra en la intersección de Kitagawa-cho en Japón en 2020 después del descubrimiento de Z Lance Arrow. Sin embargo, con esta nueva arma, sería destruida por Ultraman Z.

Shin Peguila just looks so uncanny, and Pagos is just 90% Shin Neronga and 10% Shin Gabora bruh

I wonder just how many people would buy these, guess that's the downside when u make the side kaiju look far too similar to something else or just outright ugly lmao
