Lol, such a weird way for the episode to start.

Funny looking monkey as well. And for this episode, I thought it got a kinda crazy with that flashy car. I want it with the accessories it comes with the wheels! Pretty wild episode.

Ga-chan's turn to carry his weight and help the others.

That was like surfing on an avalanche. He really is a completely different man now, with all those feats that he pulled off and successfully saved the group.

Ride with the wind, dandy

Goro's device on his eye does look interesting, a manipulation device of some sort.

Dem Speed Racer references lol xD

Gachan was the star of the episode and I enjoyed seeing him prove his worth yet again this week

But the main thing is that finally we have some major plot progression and our gang have arrived at the city

So this is Gatchan's "character-based" episode before the final conflict? I'll give Yatterman Night some credit and admit that at least I understood the purpose of this episode. Unfortunately, the way the prison just blows up is plain pathetic. All those layers and it turns out you just need to run a truck into the reactor? There's kids' show and then there's Bonkers.

One last thing: I can assume we don't care about the plot anymore, right? Because if these characters can survive a massive explosion with no consequences whatsoever, how am I supposed to believe any of the torture that the Yatterman are "supposedly" capable of?

Well.. the start of the episode was very cliche villain, "THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE TO PROVE MYSELF" which is often in these mostly episodic superhero series.

Then it shoves naked crotches and asses in my face before putting Leopard in nothing but a towel and having her dance. Yeah, this doesn't make me laugh show, it just makes me annoyed and a bit creep'd out.

The rest of the episode was alright though. It at least had some relevance to the overarching plot. Galina has shown to be more grown up and responsible now that he's adapted to the insanity of the Doronbow crew.

The reference to Speedracer got a quick chuckle out of me but not because it was "funny" but because as Captain America put it, "I understood that reference".

Though, I don't understand how Galina knew that pressing the A button was exactly what was needed to avoid the enemies attack... So many asspulls in this show that it almost takes away from any tension that could possible come out of it. Also, it was fairly anticlimactic that all they did was drive a truck into the prison and it exploded but with what the truck driver said with the whole, "I guess if you blow up the core you could escape" thing, I thought they were going to be captured and next episode was just going to be blowing up the prison by destroying the core. Good that it wasn't but what we got wasn't great either.

So Goro is a... mind controlled person? I guess... He's probably Alouette's father. They finally made it to the city, so I guess it might be more plot focused now but it's pretty late. lol

I've never seen Speed Racer before, but even I knew these references! Gatchan actually got to do something relevant, and now Goro is out of the picture and beginning to remember everything. So apparently there are 12 Yatter Gods? I wish they would have been introduced earlier in the story, they could have been an interesting addition!

I think any tension that could have come from this show was nuked into orbit a long time ago.

Well he only pressed it because that button lit up.
Everything else I agree with.

Glad this episode wasn't a complete waste like I thought it might end up being. One can only hope that the show's childish antics won't continue to betray the rest of the effort, though this late in the game I doubt that'll be the case.

In almost every episode of this series, something weird happens and the gang is somewhere strange, making me think that I somehow must have skipped an episode because nothing makes sense.

Hmm Garo could be Alouette's farther, and the robot dog their family dog >->

Ehh i get confused about Alouette being blind or not, then i see her waving her around hands while walking which makes me conclude that she is blind... but then she pulls of her "mask" like a person who is not blind would do, to look at the dog. We are at episode 9 and i am still unsure of this (⊙.☉)7

Old series made even less sense so in this case there is an improvement.

As for episode: great as always - finally I've figured why Doronjo was blushing (I'm not sure if it was in old cartoon but live action movie went down that path if I recall).

Alouette still adorable and Gatchan as action hero is most welcome.

C'mon, people. It's been extremely obvious for several episodes, but there's literally no room for doubt at this point. Not only was Alouette's father's name GOROzo, but Goro's got the same face and he blanks out randomly whenever he sees his daughter. It's not like they made it hard to figure out, considering the fact that the writing has made a habit of beating us over the head with it.

I agree with this. It's frequently difficult to tell whether Alouette is intended to be blind or mentally-challenged, but I'm fairly certain it's supposed to be both. Unfortunately, the writers can't seem to keep it straight themselves, which is why some might be confused. There have definitely been a lot of times where I've noticed Alouette looking at things and reacting as if she could see, but then there's times where the show seems to say, "She's blind! Remember? *Nudge, nudge*"

Gatchan developed really well this episode. He took initiative and saved his friends.

I really didn't get all the Speed Racer references, I just knew about the car of course, and the monkey.

Cthuko late!
Taming skills of Alouette was top notch!
This episode Galina was the hero!
Very hilarious!...instead of stopping that Yatterelephant Transport, the way they failed stopping it was also the reason they were saved! and also BOOM byebye Abareshi Void!
The other Yatterman complementing that fortified prison made it look like nothing! haha

The focusing point of the whole narrative is the birth of a new hero who sees Galina protagonist, everything else is less important and then you can overlook certain defects. Plot that becomes even more intressante, drawings with ups and downs. Quite comical tale.

I like how they included the speedracer (Mach GoGoGo) reference and I sure wasn't expecting to see the Mach 5 in this anime though!

Really liked this anime as well as the focus was shifted this time which was also quite nice to see! Quite interesting ending as well to be honest. Let's see what happens next though!

Pretty good episode, Speed Racer tribute was awesome. The naked dance at the start was really hilarious and awkward, great opening haha. And of course the very ending when they blow up the whole prison in the Yatterman fashion.

So I guess it'll slowly start to wrap up, seeing that there are 3 episodes left. Hope it doesn't get too serious.

Yo! I yelled at the Speed Racer reference. That was amazing.

You could say Gatchan...was the man. :D

-uhhhhhhhhhhh
-these villagers' eyes look... different
-wait just a goddamn minute both their hands are up
-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-ah, now it makes sense
-wait is this a goddamn speed racer reference
-so i never watched speed racer but i think that one sequence was full of speed racer references that did nothing for me
-why would you ever say that there is a small possibility of escape
-alright alouette's disguise was pretty great
-alright, not a fan of daddy shutting down whenever he says alouette
-you could stop the wagon or you could jump out like a rational person
-wtf the masked guy was GALINA
-wait does that mean the speed racer protag is dead in this timeline

Unfortunately this was an extremely boring episode as someone who's never watched Speed Racer. Also that was an extremely questionable opening scene when Leopard joined in. In general, absolutely nothing was notable (in a good way) about this episode.
