Yoru No Yatterman/Yatterman Night

Well then...I wasn't even aware that that red armored character with the long blonde hair that I keep seeing everywhere was from the Mega Man series.

Thanks for the info.

Doronjo likes Gatchan! Doronjo likes Gatchan! Doronjo and Gatchan sitting in a tree! J-A-I-L-B-A-I-T!

I can't believe this weeks ally of the week is a guy with a fish and masochist fetish.

Or that he has inspired Galina enough to fight.

That man is likely going to die of dehydration now that he's out on the vast, endless sea with no land in sight. Nice going, guys.

I bet Doronjo is crushing on Galina because he's starting to resemble the true Yatterman that she's read about in her storybooks. Or at the least, she's gained a lot of admiration for him for the same reason. Yay for character development!

Speed Racer in my Yatterman.

And Goro seeing Aloutte so much is causing his robot half to actually mess up and shut down. Though I wonder how they will deal with the other eleven Yatter Guardians in only a few episodes, unless this season is only the beginning.

I think they can wrap things up in three episodes. Plot doesn't always happen in this series, but when it does, it happens pretty quickly.

So the ball and cup weapon finally showed up. Only thing missing now is Alouette zapping someone with a stun baton—preferably General Goro's stun baton, maybe.

I imagine they're hoping they can milk this as long as they can, so I don't think they'll aim for an actual resolution until they're pretty damn sure they can't continue the series anymore.

I would assume that the plot'll keep going for a while after they defeat Goro and Galina and Alouette get the Yatterpug (because we all know that's coming). Split-cour, maybe?

I would be so happy if it's split-cour. But I seriously doubt it; I think we would have heard about it if it was true.

Personally, I'm hoping for the original Doronbos to.make an appearence.

You know I'm surprised of all things the Yatterbots got Character Development. They went from badly disguised mooks a couple episodes ago to able to perfectly disguise themselves as humans.

I don't think that's Character Development so much as taking a level in competence.

Goro does pretty well at capturing the gang with the Yatterbots. The problem is that they usually find a way to escape or not all of them were captured at once.

Plus Aloutte constantly appearing messing him up.

? Split-cours are a surprise as often as not

Well Dokurobei is the main villain who took over Yatter Arcadia. And in related news, water is wet, the earth is round, and Aeris gets killed by Sephiroth midway thru Final fantasy 7.

While the twist was pretty obvious, I do like how they set up the gravitas of The Reveal.

I kind of thought they'd keep Dokurobei as the short fat man though.

I wonder why Dokurobei didn't just pluck his ancestors out of the exile zone.

Dokurobei is an alien god, not a descendant of exiles. Why should Giovanni care for Team Rocket and/or their miserable progeny?

Oops, I thought he was actually a Wizard of Oz human with an illusion machine. And their ancestor, for whatever reason.

So why would Giovanni suddenly throw a welcome party for Team Rocket and/or their ancestors?

To gloat? We will only find out next week.

Because this version of Team Rocket is a group of fairly talented people who managed to defeat one of his top generals and destroy a big prison.

My guess is that he's going to make a job offer.

Yeah, this seems like a perfect opportunity for him to re-hire his old minions (from his perspective, anyway).

Calling it now, Alouette and Galina are going to wear the Yatterman costumes and take on their roles.

... do you even need to call that?

Galina has been looking more Yatterman-ish every episode.

They already put on the masks
