Title: “Ultraman Zet Episode 19: “The Last Hero” Review – The Arrival of Ultra Ace”
Introduction:
In the world of Ultraman Zett, episode 19 titled “The Last Hero” introduces viewers to the iconic character Ultra Ace. Directed by Takanori Tsujimoto and written by Toshizo Nomoto, this episode originally aired on October 31st, 2020. As an author and analyzer, I’m here to share my thoughts on this exciting episode and delve into its highlights and intriguing aspects.
- Bemstar and the Unexpected Twist:
The episode kicks off with the introduction of Bemstar, a monster with a starfish stomach. While Bemstar’s appearance may seem bizarre, it manages to captivate with its unique abilities. One notable moment is when Bemstar engulfs Windom’s hand, leaving us wondering if it would actually swallow him or not. This potential twist adds a layer of suspense to the episode. - Unique Fight Presentation: The fight sequences in this episode stand out due to their distinctive presentation. The battle involving Windom, King Joe, and Gemsstar begins on a storage monitor, creating a visually captivating effect, before transitioning to the regular camera angle. This creative approach adds an extra level of excitement to the action-packed scenes.
- Naming Quirks and Design Choices: As a self-proclaimed non-expert Ultraman fan, I couldn’t help but notice a couple of minor gripes. The name “Hitman Terrible Monster” for the character Baraba feels somewhat odd. While I understand the connection to Ultraman Ace, the name choice doesn’t quite resonate. However, personal preferences can vary, and the design of Baraba as a monstrous bison with various weapon grafts is intriguing in its own right.
- Unique Voice Acting: Gemsstar’s distinctive way of calling out “Ace!” with its tongue sticking out adds an enjoyable and fun detail to the character. Moreover, Ultra Ace’s appearance in the episode stands out due to the decision to give him a deeper and more grizzled voice, sounding older than expected. This unexpected voice choice adds a cool and wise vibe to Ace’s character, showcasing his experience.
- Ace’s Heroic Presence and Tag-Team Fight: Ultra Ace’s fight against the formidable beast is a highlight of the episode. He approaches the battle with confidence and expertise, imparting wisdom along the way. The visual connection between Ace and Zett, displayed through their similar fin designs, adds a pleasing aesthetic touch to their teamwork.
- Curious Instructions and Attack Names: During the tag-team fight, there’s a moment when Ace gives instructions to Beta Smash mid-battle, which feels slightly odd. However, the attack names “Zett Spark” or “Zett Ray” carry an undeniable coolness, although the mention of “ultra holes” seems peculiar and raises questions about their significance.
- Deepening Bond and Mysteries Unveiled: The episode presents a heartwarming connection between Ultra Ace and Zet as Ace bestows his name and attack upon Zett. This deepening bond between the two characters feels cozy and may intrigue viewers to revisit Ace’s show. Additionally, the defeat of the terrible monster and its subsequent return to the dimensional gap raises questions about the connection between Yapool and Ace, adding an element of mystery to the narrative.
Conclusion:
Despite being a filler episode, Ultraman Zett Episode 19: “The Last Hero” introduces audiences to the legendary character Ultraman Ace in an engaging and memorable manner. The episode’s highlights, including Bemstar’s unique abilities, the distinctive fight presentation, and the deepening bond between Ace and Zett, make it an enjoyable watch. While there are a few minor quirks in the naming and instructions given during battles, the overall experience of this episode leaves fans eagerly anticipating future developments in the Ultraman Zett series.
