The Romance Between Monsters Was Just… Weird
This episode didn’t land for me. It felt paint-by-numbers, soft in tone, and generally flat. The action wasn’t intense or meaningful. It was played for laughs, and not in a clever or satisfying way—just silly.
There were things that could have worked, like the Long Mouthed Mole and its connection to Gedrago kaiju, and how that tied into Ayu’s care for endangered species. That’s an idea I want to like. But the execution was weak. It felt forced, like the writers had a thematic point and just crammed it into place without earning it.
Was this supposed to be charming or just gross?
At the end of the episode, they show the kaiju couple being being put together in their nest, and it’s clearly meant to be touching. But… is the male going to mate with her corpse? Is she not actually dead? If she is dead, will she decompose while he hibernates beside her? These aren’t fun questions to be asking while watching a show that’s supposed to tug at the heartstrings. And maybe the target audience, kids, aren’t supposed to think about it that deeply. But I did think about it, and it made the whole ending feel kind of gross and confusing.
Ayu’s adaptability is admirable, but does it belong here?
There’s a brief moment where the show praises Ayu for taking on the challenge of researching kaiju, even though it’s outside her field. I genuinely find that admirable. That kind of adaptability and willingness to step up is worth highlighting.
But I don’t understand how it connects to the kaiju storyline. There’s no clear metaphor or parallel. The message about rising to new challenges doesn’t seem to intersect with the romance, the biology, or the final nest scene. It feels like two different stories spliced together.
Is this a mating dance or a comedy sketch?
The “mating dance” sequence is set to silly music and framed like a joke. But the episode wants us to also take it seriously, too. It is framed as an expression of natural behavior and maybe even something beautiful. That tonal whiplash makes it hard to engage with either idea. Are we supposed to laugh at this? Be moved by it? Respect it as a natural wonder? The show doesn’t commit, and that hurts the impact of the whole thing.
Are kaiju gods or just animals?
There’s a bigger identity crisis happening here. Some fans (like @Ultrakyriel, who I’ve mentioned before) think kaiju should be treated like gods. That makes sense in many Ultraman stories, where they feel ancient, mysterious, and mythic.
But this episode explicitly spells out that kaiju are just animals, biological beings with mating instincts and behaviors. And while that’s not inherently a bad take, it feels weird placed directly after the previous episode, which featured the metal snake kaiju with a very godlike, mystical presence.
Can both be true in the same show? Maybe. But the contrast is jarring. Is Omega trying to challenge the idea of kaiju-as-gods? Or is it just being inconsistent?
I still don’t know what to take away from this
That’s probably the biggest issue. I don’t know what the episode was really about. It tried to say something about love, nature, and maybe even science, but none of it clicked. And because the tone was so soft and the comedy undercut any emotional depth, it ended up feeling hollow.
Big Question: What is a kaiju, really?
This episode made me ask: Are kaiju meant to be natural creatures, divine beings, or something in between?
And more importantly: What does Ultraman Omega want me to believe?
Because right now, I’m not sure even the show knows.
