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 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 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.

More Ultraman Omega reviews and analysis in the pinned comment.

Ultraman Omega episode 3 introduces Rekiness, a kaiju with a design that feels straight out of ancient Chinese carvings. He looks incredible. Pegunos shows up as the actual enemy kaiju this week, and Omega and Rekiness team up against him. On paper, this should be a standout episode… but it ends up quieter and flatter than expected.

In this review I talk about why the dub makes the episode feel dry, why Pegunos didn’t add much tension, and how Rekiness ends up being the most interesting part even though he’s barely active. I also share my running theory that Omega arrived on Earth carrying multiple kaiju inside him and how Rekiness’s crest ties into that.

Let me know what you thought.

Did you like this one more in the sub or the dub?

Does Rekiness work for you?

And do you think Omega is linked to these kaiju in a bigger way?

Ultraman Omega Episode 2 builds around one simple idea: use what you have.

Auyumu, Kosei, and Sorato all face the crisis with whatever tools are in front of them, and the dub presents it with a grounded, natural tone. In this review I talk about the theme, the kaiju, and why Omega’s slow deliberate fighting style works so well.

Ultraman Omega Episode 5 is a quiet, mythic story about loss, love, and letting go. “Miko and Mikoto” follows a grieving girl who bonds with a serpent deity beast and the cost that bond carries for everyone around her. This review looks at how the episode frames kaiju closer to gods than animals, why the fight lands with real emotional weight, and what it asks of Sorato as Ultraman.

Highlights:

Kaiju as gods, not animals – Ohebinushi’s role in the story

Friendship, family, and the limits of sustaining love

Visual storytelling choices that sell the tragedy

Sorato’s burden contrasted with Kosei’s relief

How writer Masaya Honda and director Tomonobu Koshi shape the episode

I think this is Omega’s strongest episode so far. I would like to hear your take. Did the symbolism work for you, and what do you think the episode is saying about grief and moving on?
