ULTRAMAN ORB LIVE WATCH ARCHIVE

This is an archive of my Ultraman Geed live watch thread, from Twitter. This thread is 42 posts long, just one post longer than my Geed livewatch. Like with Kamen Rider W, I went into this series with a certain level of high ship content expectation due to fandom hype and ended up being somewhat disappointed by the canon food. Still, I'm very glad I watched it just for Juggler's existence.

Take a shot every time I say I want to draw something (and a double shot every time I didn't do it).

The collection of these live watch tweets couldn't have been possible without Marinehaddock's Threadifier Macronator 9000!!!, which he recently updated with alternative steps for LibreCalc users! Make your own version and let him know in the store page's comment section so we can all read your live reactions.

July 12, 2020 Beginning of the thread.
Mon Jul 13 05:14:14 +0000 2020 Orb thread cough cough

Feeling a lot more at home with this season since the ultra allies are a trio of UMA chasers who have missed two months of rent for their apartment slash base.
Mon Jul 13 05:14:15 +0000 2020 MC rides on the back of a freezer truck and wears a full body suit and uses -san honorific to refer to other ultras

Oh no hes hot
Mon Jul 13 05:17:16 +0000 2020 Horrifying, I like it

Fri Jul 24 01:21:46 +0000 2020 I forgot to mention Ichiro Mizuki OP was a happy surprise
Fri Jul 24 01:31:41 +0000 2020 Juggler has a sexy voice and a funny laugh. I wish him and Orb were just a little older looking because they both give off ossan vibes imo and Orb kinda reminds me of Hibiki-san (leather jacket, jeans, music gimmick, himbo)
Sun Jul 26 04:56:23 +0000 2020 "Gai has covid so he can't smell anything"
Sun Jul 26 05:16:41 +0000 2020 Aha I knew I recognized the orbring's voice, it's Takahiro Sakurai
Sun Jul 26 05:47:34 +0000 2020 By the way when Jetta cried to the rude net comments, I really felt that. Bullying is a serious thing!
Sun Jul 26 06:35:50 +0000 2020 My viewing partner said mystery Russian girl looks like Ann from Arrested Development and now I can't look at her without laughing
Tue Jul 28 07:34:12 +0000 2020 I really love Orb OP's visuals, they feel so anime but in a good way
Tue Jul 28 07:40:17 +0000 2020 Gai is such a freaking fouchebag lol he eats all the SSP snacks and uses their things without permission
Tue Jul 28 08:02:23 +0000 2020 I would like to draw Ho

Tue Jul 28 08:25:40 +0000 2020 Me and my viewing partner about Gubira, at the exact same time: what's up with this digimon
Tue Jul 28 22:30:06 +0000 2020 Babaryu-san
Tue Jul 28 22:37:02 +0000 2020 Next episode: Jugglus Juggler d*es in magma!
Tue Jul 28 22:53:09 +0000 2020 While Gai remembers the tragic demise of his Russian friend me and viewing partner were cracking up imagining the mayonegg scene with her Juggler and Gai

Tue Jul 28 23:11:26 +0000 2020 Holy smokes the fake dating episode is hilarious

Juggler coming to crash the date and mama completely ignoring the (UST 😏) mood between the two handsome men
Tue Jul 28 23:55:49 +0000 2020 I would like to draw Thunder Breastar smashing Maga Orochi
Wed Jul 29 00:00:19 +0000 2020 "Today's hero is Belial-san" uhhhh
Sun Aug 02 06:20:04 +0000 2020 Jetta bought Gai ONE burger like 5 episodes ago and he hasn't stopped bossing him around since. Good on him good on him, keep the himbo leashed.
Sun Aug 02 06:34:22 +0000 2020 This episode's hero lesson showed Ultraseven and for his explanation they pulled a Boruto's dad with him and Zero oof
Sun Aug 02 06:42:21 +0000 2020 (ORB 15 SPOILERS) holy fudge he did not just k*ll that pilot
Sun Aug 02 06:48:37 +0000 2020 (ORB 15 SPOILERS) I would like to draw Orb going berserk on that poor gen*cidal robot
Sun Aug 02 06:59:01 +0000 2020 I think this dark turn was a little sudden and I kinda wish Gai's reluctance to action/use or force had been explored more solidly than just by showing the same two gf flashbacks, but if I was a kid this would for sure be a childhood defining TV moment lol good nice tragic fun!
Sun Aug 02 07:48:37 +0000 2020 Clenching my jaw and bearing all this multi-generational hetshti nonsense

I knew it was gonna be like that from episode one but it's still mind numbing 🙄 I do not care for Gai/Naomi romance
Sun Aug 02 08:01:15 +0000 2020 "What did he do to you?" Yes Juggler what did he do to you, tell me
Sun Aug 02 08:06:13 +0000 2020 Oh my god this Natasha-Naomi singing thing is crunge as hell not gonna lie
Sun Aug 02 08:09:12 +0000 2020 Lmao when Gai hugged her from behind we both made noises of disgust

This group watch is a no het allowed zone
Sun Aug 02 09:40:28 +0000 2020 Anyway good Juggler faces

Thu Aug 13 05:54:52 +0000 2020 Juggler bullying Cap about jealousy like he's not the pot calling the kettle black
Sun Aug 16 01:31:37 +0000 2020 I would like to draw Nova and Black Master

Sun Aug 16 01:39:38 +0000 2020 This is the best episode of Orb maybe. Also I know that the relationship with Nova probably wasn't meant to be taken this way but mr. Black Master struck me as queer coded and I'm sticking to that reading 😗
Sun Aug 16 07:48:36 +0000 2020 Dang, Orb closing the deceased monster's eyes effed me and my viewing partner up

"At least Kamen Rider unthinkingly k*lls all its monsters"
Sun Aug 16 07:50:47 +0000 2020 I would like to draw Juggler all hannibal-ed up

Sun Aug 16 08:22:29 +0000 2020 I really truly wish Naomi was treated as anything other than a love interest to be saved by the hero lol I like her personality and her role as the reliable leader of the SSP. Its not that I HATE the thing going on in the Gai-(Natasha)(Naomi)-Juggler bond, from certain angles...
Sun Aug 16 08:22:29 +0000 2020 But her character was reduced to only that for most of the show.

I just wish the interesting fem character with a protagonist role was more than a device to forward the hero's journey :) oh well.
Sun Aug 16 08:27:43 +0000 2020 (ORB 25 SPOILERS) The punch before the hug was the most no homo thing I've seen in a while
Sun Aug 16 08:29:31 +0000 2020 I would like to draw Juggler tentacled by Orochi
Sun Aug 16 08:46:51 +0000 2020 Honestly Juggler's relationship to Cap was ultimately more interesting to me than Gai's to Cap lol to try to explain it... I think Juggler could see Cap in front of him, while Gai bonded with her because of what he saw behind her. So JugCap conversations felt less one sided.
Sun Aug 16 08:46:51 +0000 2020 (ORB 25 SPOILERS) No het by the way 🔫 I mean platonically. The reveal of Juggler saving Natasha didn't feel like an attempt to establish a love triangle, just a display of selflessness.

In any case JugCap development stayed consistently within the realm of Loving Gai lol
Sun Aug 16 09:33:38 +0000 2020 (ORB 25 SPOILERS) Oh almost forgot bc of my bonding musings but Belial appearing when Gai calls upon his predecessors had me like

Sun Aug 16 09:33:38 +0000 2020 I don't even know Belial proper bc I havent watched any content directly involving him and I'm still like halfway through Geed but it's never not going to be funny to hear Gai call him Belial-san
August 16, 2020 End of the thread.
