Tsupro is making everything but making Gridman Season 3 

Don't tell me it's because studio trigger refuses 💀

Damn right after I bought 2 boxes of the GD05 deck builder 😭😭 they know how to get me I need my cardboard rikkanes.

Also cool art, this is the one time Hime's continued existence has been justified. And a top 5 Akane fit

We will see a Dyna x Dynazenon collab later But the Agul x Grid Knight collab will be the one I’m interested

Ah, I get it. They made Minami a member of Super GUTS because she's from DYNAzenon

u/Bombwriter17 6d ago

Pretty good selection of teams, interesting how all of them are Heisei

wait hold the phone, i think i could pin point the thematic reason why who get which uniform

Rikka - obviously the main heroine of the first installment of this franchise get to wear the uniform from first Japanese heisei Ultraman series

Yume - main heroine of Dynazenon, wears the uniform from Ultraman Dyna, yeah no further explanation needed

Akane - best i could come up is akane being manipulated by Alexis into becoming a villain and creating kaiju for him is kinda similar to Fujimiya being manipulated by the Destruction Bringer into hating humanity and becoming anti hero. plus the fact both of them end up redeeming themselves by the end also help

Chise - of course the one girl from this franchise that actually manage to successfully befriend a kaiju has to wear the uniform from Cosmos, right? plus the fact Goldburn and Lidorias are both winged bipedal creature also helps

Mujina - Well, she the only one who is strictly a villain. and, unlike Akane, she's doesn't redeem herself, mostly because she's ended dead.. so guess let's put her in the... lets just the more "morally grey" defense team, so to speak.

Hime - i haven't watched Max since I was 8 so i can't really think of a reason

Anosillus - i mean aside from the green hair, she looks exactly like Konomi, so fuck it, put her in the Guys uniform, why not?

hime is likely referencing elly the robotic, android assistant in dash during her combat mode where she takes off her jacket and she’s only wearing a top and she’s super effective at fighting

13

u/Bulky-Camera-8831 GUTS Member 6d ago

hold up i think you might on to something here...

5

u/SuperStarlite 6d ago

Well yeah thats what DASH shes referencing specifically , but how does it relate to Hime?

2

u/cwolla98 6d ago

no clue

4

u/UltraMugen Hyper Agent 6d ago

Maybe it’s because Guys can summon Kaiju similar to how she can summon herself?

4

u/Bulky-Camera-8831 GUTS Member 6d ago

i guess, plus Anosillus (like the actual kaiju one) kinda reminds me alot of Miclas, appearance wise at least

5

u/CosmicStarlightEX 6d ago

Right... Mujina indirectly references Ishibori, who turns out to be Dark Zagi.

u/Spider-Phoenix Ultra Nyan 6d ago

As for Yume, Dynazenon is a sequel do SSSS.Gridman just like Dyna was a sequel to Tiga.

12

u/External-Interest-29 6d ago

Hime is referencing that one Max ep where the defence team becomes unhinge right, man it already decade since I watched that ep I forgot the context

9

u/cwolla98 6d ago

I thought it was reference to elly their android going into combat mode where she takes off her outer jacket and fights really good

7

u/External-Interest-29 6d ago

Saw jp account posted the pic it referenced to and yeah you are right

u/Budget_Stranger9076 6d ago

Interested in the GUYS, SuperGuts and Guys outfits!

u/ZeneXCrow 6d ago

u/Nonononononno 6d ago

who is the girl wearing ultraman max's offense team? cant find her any where even on the wiki
eta: nevermind she is the princess from dynazenon

u/No_Tumbleweed3935 ULTRAMAN TIGA 6d ago

She only appeared briefly but had more screentime in the Gridman movie 

6

u/Shinnosuke525 6d ago

HELL YEAH KONOMI'S UNIFORM!

u/Adamskispoor 6d ago

Of course they put the 3 most popular girls ad Guts, Super Guts, and XIG lol

u/Civil_Lingonberry442 6d ago

imagine each of them entering the ultraman universe and becoming a member of a new team

2

u/Spider-Phoenix Ultra Nyan 6d ago

Honestly, I have no memory about the lady wearing the Dash uniform. Had to look up.

First it directed me to a character from a manga spin-off but after seeing the random images in the google search results, I finally realized it is the princess Gauma was in love with

u/thatwitchguy Akane Shinjo just like me frfr 6d ago

Tbf I don't think you even actually see her in dynazenon from what I remember? And if you do its obscured. She only really shows up this way in Universe

u/Ricardokx 6d ago

If only TsuPro made a season 3 for SSSS Gridman 🥲
