Welcome to the discussion thread for Ultraman Z, episode 9; "The Unidentified Object Convoy Order".

"Z facing his toughest challenge yet!"


This Week: The GAF has recovered Ultra Medals. This time, STORAGE's mission is to escort them to a secure facility. However, aliens are hunting for the hidden treasure of the Ultra Medals and their weapon is none other than the infamous super robot, King Joe!

Maybe I've seen too many tv shows or movies but the initial plan to get the medels to the facility was kinda prrdictable once we found out Yoko had her own job during it. Grantrd I was expecting the person she was handing it off to to be the regular big bad but the alien controling people makes sense as well. Honestly I thought they were going to tease a new form once I saw the medals were based on Vosmos, Mexus and Mebius but it turned out to be a new attack. A bit of a lol moment where Z forgot how to use them and when he asked Harhui ( man I can't remember his name) of h had any ideas on how to deal with King Koe. Speaking of good to see he's as dangerous as ever. I thought we eere going to have another reoccuring villian for the show but it looks like this particular tale is over next week based on the preview but I could be wrong. Guess we'll find out in a week.

A nice little detail I enjoyed. Of the three new medals, only Mebius is referred to as "brother Mebius" while Cosmos and Nexus were both just "-san". Why? Because Mebius is one of the Ultra Brothers, of course!
(note that when he became Beta Smasher he referred to Ultraman, Ace and Taro as "brother" as well, as they're also Ultra Brothers)
Although admittedly, Haruki doesn't have any way of knowing this, so it's one of those meta things that doesn't work so well in context lol.
