I don't know if I'm off or not, but my impression is that Kano was the princess, meaning she had already passed away. As you might know, this episode revealed that the Princess had something to give to Gauma, but he died before that happened, and maybe it was the ankhs that she and now Yume carries with her. If Gauma does die next week, I see him reuniting with the princess if she is indeed Kano.

OST is out. All This Time is really good.
You can listen to the entire album legally in Shiro Sagisu's YouTube Topic channel but it seems that it's region locked. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...cj-V86q4jJFBlQ

It really does show how far the team has come when this basically started out with Yomogi casually helping out Gauma, Gauma interfering in Yomogi and Yume's relationship, Gauma bothering Yomogi...and in the end Gauma has become such a precious and important friend to the both of them, and Yomogi doesn't want to see Gauma go .
Sizumu's Kaiju devours the rest of the Eugenicists and they end up piloting it like a Mecha, making it and them even more of a dark reflection of Dynazenon and company . Koyomi got dragged into this by accident, but now he's a willing participant in helping others and fighting Kaiju . Figures Kaiser Gridknight would fair better once we had the whole team together . So Juga apparently still really looks up to Gauma even after the whole betrayal and killing thing, while Koyomi and Mujina bicker like a couple where the girl blames the guy for making her feel the way they do...still feel like there's some unresolved feelings between these pairings . Yomogi uses his abilities to control Kaiju to distract it long enough for the team to form Dynazenon for a combined attack with Gridknight and Goldburn! We even get a new Gridknight + Goldburn combination form! And then they come together for an awesome Dyna Rex + Gridknight final attack combo to save the day . Well, the Eugenicists still believe the future of the world is Kaiju and never really changed this whole series, which I guess is the point of contrast between them and the heroes, and are wiped out...Sizumu was never able to understand humans while the experience fighting Kaiju helped the humans understand each other. Will they and Gauma reincarnate again? Will the world ever be graced with the majesty of Mujina's thighs again? Who can say . Gauma finally understands why he was entrusted with Dynazenon. So he could move on from obsessing over the princess and find new bonds to make his life worth living with his friends, and their experience together carved in scars onto their body so they will never forget their time as team Dynazenon. I still kind of wish Gauma could see his princess again though . Time skip to three months and it's time for Anti/Knight, Second, and Goldburn to take Dynazenon with them to their next adventure. Poor Chise has to say goodbye to Goldburn, but at least she feels free enough now to finally show off her snazzy tattoo . Koyomi as a professional guy looks near unrecognizable. No wonder Knight didn't recognize him. At least his in with Yomogi's boss and saving her husband managed to get him a job. He's finally made something of himself . I do feel a little let down that we didn't get to see Yume properly answer Yomogi's confession, but when you see them walking with their umbrella's close together and the fact that Yume doesn't use "-kun" with Yomogi's name anymore and gets him to call her "Yume," on-top of all the casual intimacy between them, it's pretty clear they're finally together as a couple . That ending with Dyna Rex...obviously it's still functioning, but...could Gauma perhaps have possessed it ?

I don’t get what this show was going for.
It had a big emphasis on relationships and feelings. It had great directing and character moments that felt good even and especially when they were odd and awkward. It had a subtle sense of humor that poked fun at its own genre all while delivering excellent action. It had hints at a greater, more interesting world connected to the previous series. …but… Despite all the good points, I felt this was a far weaker show than SSSS.Gridman. Mostly because the villains had no purpose. They killed and destroyed and yet there was basically no reason for it all! Having the one still declaring he just wanted to kill humans frustrated me so much. Because there was no why! Not even a misguided why. Not even an evil why. Then there were all those connections to and echoes of SSSS.Gridman. They too went nowhere. Familiar locations. Familiar staging and shot composition. Whether it was the Gridman coffee shop without the fog or a character leaning on the railing on top of the school under a big blue sky or an identical run down street, it all feels fake now. Kinda feels like a cost saving measure instead of a clever link between shows. I kept hoping for more. For the connections to mean something. But in the end they just didn’t mean anything. If I could have an ideal SSSS show, I’d want the bigger messages and much more complex villains of Gridman combined with multiple in depth character focuses all on the level Yume got in Dynazenon. Make it a two season show if need be to fit in all the personal character stories. Do anything but leave the motivations and connections so vague as to not even matter. Ultimately, if I had to pick one show over the other, though, it’s easily SSSS.Gridman for me. SSSS.Dynazenon had all sorts of potential but turned out to be one long disappointment for me in the end.

I think they probably didn't want to get to overt connecting it to Gridman so the show could stand on its own and because we're getting a crossover sequel next.

The eugenicists' purpose was the antithesis of the main theme of growth; they were so fixated and obsessed with the past that they were willing to go to any lengths to recreate their world of kaiju glory. Like how 3 of them got all aimless at the thought of no more kaiju, only to be reenergized again after Shizumu pulled his trump card. The familiar staging of scenes in Dynazenon matching Gridman's, when coupled with some of the worldbuilding mentions, likely infer the setup of the Gridman Universe. That Dynazenon's world is but one of many parallel worlds existing within one big Computer World multiverse, with higher beings able to travel between worlds. |

Bluray Vol 4 (releasing this October) will come with a voice drama Ep 12. Assuming its content serves to bookend anime Ep 12's finale (just like Gridman's 12.12 Bluray voice drama), hopefully we can get a conclusion on Gauma's ultimate final fate.
Also voice drama 3/1 from Bluray 1 has already been posted on Bilibili. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1K5411A7Q8?p=12 Just time the audio to the English translations. The video has Chinese (and Japanese) subs if you can read them. https://barnnn.blogspot.com/2021/06/...pisode-31.html The rest should come in July, September and October (together with Vols 2-4 releases). PS. Smart move, Yume. |
