THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well not as epic as ep 8, but more clarity on backstory in relation to Kamui and his mom.

Also is it me or is Takuma smarter this episode? Plus loved how he faked out the entire dinosaur empire :D

No I'm wondering what Go means by 'He doesn't have much time' how does this relate to the manga?

Remember that Black Shin Getter is anime-original (and has an Armageddon-style faceplate), that means that it doesn't necessarily tie into the manga, but into other Getter media. I'm still thinking "Emperor-grown clone like Getter Noir's pilots are in SRW's mobile games".

As for the episode itself... Takuma has some very raw gremlin energy going on, and he is such a goofball when tapping into it. That smug expression when he figures out what Han was trying to hide, and then his shenanigans at the ceremony. And Gettersaurus is... interesting. Doubly so for having Getter in the name when logically there shouldn't be a single Getter Ray in there.

Based Takuma with the balls of steel during that parade.

Gotta love Takuma in this episode, very funny and brave at the same time.

for those who are still watching, is an anime original ending on the horizon, or will it stop where the manga did?

Considering how we're getting Black Shin Getter, it's probably gonna get an anime original ending. I don't think Kawagoe would add stuff like BSG to the show if he didn't plan on giving us an ending.

I've been personally loving the ride Jun has been putting us on with Arc, if it wasn't made with a potato budget and was able to get a good animation team, it would be a full 10/10 for me. But it's at lest gonna be a strong 8-9/10 from me, I've just wanted a good anime with hype and mecha beating the shit out of anything, and it's great to have a head strong mecha protagonist like Takuma again in modern anime.
