  • From Mythic to Mess | Ultraman Omega Episode 6
    Jan 5 2026

    Episode 5 of Ultraman Omega felt mythic, restrained, and deeply intentional.

    Episode 6 felt like the opposite.

    In this video, I break down why Omega Episode 6 feels less like a simple misstep and more like a structural failure. Not just a bad or weird episode, but one that breaks the show’s own premise and undercuts the trust built by earlier episodes.

    I focus on three core problems:

    How Episode 6 contradicts Omega’s promise that kaiju are new to this world

    Why the episode’s biology and internal logic collapse under scrutiny

    How the action and tone fail to deliver meaning, especially in contrast to Episode 5

    This isn’t a dunk. It’s an attempt to understand why this episode feels so off, and why it lands as such a sharp letdown after one of the strongest Ultraman episodes in years.

    Let me know what you thought of Episode 6 in the comments.

    Did this episode work for you, or did it break your goodwill?

  • Ultraman Omega 05 DUB Review |Going Ultra
    Dec 22 2025

    Ultraman Omega Episode 5 surprised me.

    This isn’t really an episode about a fight, or even about a kaiju. It’s a quiet, mythic story about love, grief, and the pain of doing the right thing when it hurts everyone involved.

    In this video, I focus on one emotional takeaway from Omega 05: how love can give life, how it can take life, and how sacrifice doesn’t stop hurting just because it’s necessary.

    This is not a recap or a breakdown of every plot point. It’s a reflection on why this episode affected me so deeply, and why I think it’s one of the strongest episodes of Ultraman Omega so far.

    If this episode moved you, or if you saw something different in it, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

  • Ultraman Omega 04 DUB Review |Going Ultra
    Dec 16 2025

    Ultraman Omega Episode 4 left me frustrated at first… and then the more I thought about it, the better it got.

    This episode has a strange tension at its core. Some of it feels very childish, while other parts are surprisingly thoughtful and mature. The conflict between Sorato and Cos, the shogi metaphor about support and importance, and the way Rekiness and Omega evolve all raise questions about who this show is really for and how clearly its themes are landing.

    Bonus Content - (Coming Soon)

    In this review, I break down:

    • Why the emotional conflict felt off

    • What the shogi scene is actually trying to say

    • Whether this episode’s message works for kids

    • How Rekiness’ new ability and armor change the fight

    • Why Episode 4 improves the longer you sit with it

    If you loved this episode, hated it, or felt conflicted like I did, I’d love to hear your perspective.
