Thank you.
I had seen a version with the dialogue translated into English, but it had nothing of any sort of "opening note" about the timing of the ep, other than Hanejiro saying "goodbye" to Dyna/Asuka. I had thought that maybe it was an "AU" re-write of the final episodes, since there were numerous changes made to various characters and so forth.
Although, come to think of it, Absolute Ultraman also said it was an episode set three months before the end ...
At least, nowadays, the gaidens are fitting directly into continuity, rather than being set aside.
You are right. I mixed it up with the Ultraman Nexus Episode EX. But it definitely took place within the series.
