Ah yes, Gauma always using his fist to resolve problems. That's very much like him.

A lot of flashy music used during the battle sequences this episode though. The fight against the kaiju also turned out to be very intense as usual. Gauma really isn't in a mood to play around and went all out.

Actually this episode makes me change my question from "who is the real enemy?" to "is this even have any enemy in the first place?"

Gauma and Onija are as hot as ever.

This could be just me, but is there a possibility that Mujina could be Yume's sister or relative? I know I'm probably wrong or there could be a detail I overlooked in past episodes, but with the focus on this episode being on Yume asking about her sister and Mujina controlling the kaiju (also both Yume and Mujina's character designs look similar, at least to me), I can't help but try to find a connection, no matter how unlikely it is.

Fun episode, was hoping Yomogi would get to tell Yume how he felt, but too early for a confession anyway. Kaiju fight was pretty good this week, dynazenon’s rocket kick finisher was awesome.

No good deed goes unpunished. Now yume is sick lol.

Haha, Guama's antics at the school were pretty hilarious. Yomogi should really just tell Minami how he feels. Ooo, we got to see thick Mujina controlling a kaiju in this episode! Sick Yomogi controlling the Dyna-soldier was comedic. Another really well-done fight in this episode. The finishing move was so fricking cool.

I wanted the loli/Chise to be in Dyanzenon but not by replacing Yomogi lol. Also same as Gauma this makes me wonder if anyone can pilot Dynazenon.

It's now confirmed Yomogi likes Yume and Gauma was a great wingman. He purposedly told Yume that it was her fault that Yomogi's sick to make her visit him.

At this point, I'm starting to think that Gauma's the only sensible one out of the entire character cast, though he can only go crazy against the Eugencists.

It's no surprise that the Kaiju Eugenicists will soon infiltrate Yomogi and Co.'s lives, and Sizumu is the first to do so in their school as an exchange student.

Gauma's such a chad to lead Minami to Yomogi in terms of love though, after what she did to let Yomogi stood up on an empty promise on their very first meet. But serious though, he should pluck his courage and confess...one day, that is, in perfect condition.

Back to the usual Dynazenon action, and it's against a Kaiju that can bend dimensions. Chise controlling the Dyna Soldier is different from how Yomogi pilots it, even if he's sick and when work calls. A pretty bombastic action with the chuckle of Yomogi's sickness echoing through the background, and Onija only leading through his mouth of words.

Spreading your sickness to somebody you're crushing on...that's "unrequited" love.

So far the episodic dynamic growth episodes seem to be doing much more better in having interesting stories than the story focused one like the last episode. It led to some fun moments but I sorta do be wishing the show allowed itself to be energetic a bit even if it is trying to keep the very down to earth atmosphere of the Gridman anime rather than the energy filled kids show the original show was. I feel like the show would be more interesting if the show is allowed to be loose of its restrain a little, I do not expect the Gridman show's to be Trigger crazy but I sort of do wish that the series has more elaborate presentation in order to truly capture how everyday boring life is mixed with craziness going around them which is what the original show was about.

i really like how lighthearted this show is lol despite being an action show, and i think its more lighthearted the the first Gridman anime

so Kaijus are born from the will of people eh

THICC Mujina has shown some action this week too

Tho this ep was good, few other characters are introduced and good overall fight scenes. I don't know at this point is this season will have an actual villain at this point

Yeah, I also noticed that. I mean, it's an interesting directing choice but it feels like a slide show at times. I don't think it was really apparent in the previous episodes, but this episode had a lot of moments like that and it slightly bothered me tbh.

01:41 I see some people talking about the lack of seats in the cockpits. Yomogi/Dyna Soldier training with barrels of water really pushes the whole piloting either standing/squatting to the limit.

03:07 Starbows Coffee (also in SSSS.GRIDMAN)

05:16 So when Inamoto told Koyomi that a congratulations for her marriage was late in episode 3, it wasn't because she's been married a long time, but because she is currently single. That might be why she invited Yomogi for dinner in episode 1. Lucky Koyomi, been a NEET for who knows how long and is now "employed" as a mecha pilot and has a date with his former classmate.

05:55 Chise playing with a neGcon.

06:05 Inferno Cop Die Hollen Polizei karaoke! Coincidentally also in the 4th episode of SSSS.GRIDMAN.

11:45 Koyomi is really going for it...

13:25 JUST WILD BEAT COMMUNICATION!

15:08 The part where Yume comes back is cute

17:04 "Don't make me go to another memorial" From the episode 1 dialogue, Chise and Koyomi, off screen, went to memorial (anniversary of death), but for whom? I'm still wondering if they may be involved with Kano's death.

21:25 Ok, so they have somewhere to sit in the cockpit, but it's too close to the front that it might be safer inside where there's no seating (and have to face forward). Oh no, Yume's the sick one...

Great episode but I do have a major problem with it. Why was Yomogi not wearing glasses in school or any other time. BUT WHEN HE GETS SICK, HE DECIDES TO WEAR THEM?!!

This needs to be discussed.

I was really hoping shipping/romance wouldn't make an appearence, yet here we are. Not only will it lead nowhere, like Gridman, it also turns the fanbase into rabid dogs, like Gridman.

Oh well, good episode either way. I'm much preferring it to gridman overal though imo

Another great episode, nice to see Mujina controlling a kaiju this time, but I feel like this one was dealt with a bit quicker than the other ones so far, still a fun fight tho. I think this kaiju design is my favorite so far as well, he looked really badass, his power was weird too, turning things into 2D flat images.

I’m liking the progress of Yume and Yomogi’s relationship, nice on Gauma sending her to visit him, made for a nice moment between them. I also loved when Chise took control of Dynazenon for a short moment. That ED is for sure one of my favorites this season, just like with Gridman it’s an absolute jam.

Honestly never saw her as suspicious until you pointed it out, as of rn I doubt she’s behind anything but I can see that being a thing that Trigger would do.

it is actually my first time picking up a mecha anime!

Reallyl good episode! Really love the characters and how natural their interactions feel like. Well, Yomogi is starting to fall for Yume, go get her man. Chise mocking Koyomi for pretty much technically having a day off everyday was hilarious.

I don't know why, but Yomogi just coughing while they were fighting was so hilarious, it's great. This episode was really fun overall, the Eugenicists were so chill even though they lost, just another day for them and Onija almost died again lmao. Yume all bundled up and surrounded by those plushies while sick is really cute. Looking forward to the next episode.

Also, the more I see Yume's friend the more I believe the theory that her friend's just her imagination, we haven't seen her interact with anyone else.

Voice drama Ep 4.4 makes for a nice bookend to Ep 4's ending, where Yomogi goes to visit a sick Yume and she opens up more to him (esp. re. her family situation).

Also be sure to check out some of the previous episodes' voice dramas, which have more interactions and reveals not in the anime. Like Ep 2.2, which shed a bit more light on Yomogi's family situation.

Plot by Yume Minami becomes more central in this episode, Koyomi's involvement in death of Minami's sister evident, especially from the phrase when saving her cousin, about not wanting to go to another funeral, Shizumu proves to be an interesting character, much more than a beautiful look in anime; Dynazenon promises to be a greast show.

Likely Chise's parent(s).

Considering Chise is a kid who skips school and spends all day playing games at her unemployed cousin's apartment, I presume her parents are dead, and Koyomi is her closest living relative/caretaker.

It really feels like the mecha battle part is separated from the slice of life one, like two separated universes xD An interesting development for the characters I suppose, and it seems like they want to do Yomogi x Yume hmm, it was to expect.
