Ultraman Omega 16 finally gives me a baseline for what this series should be.

This isn't Omega at its absolute best. Instead, Episode 16 sets the minimum standard every episode should hit: strong character interactions, a clear story, fun comedy, an unconventional win condition, and just enough ongoing plot to keep me invested.

The newly formed KSCT Unit Uta gets its first mission as Sorato, Kosei, and Ayumu investigate the mysterious Alligatortois. Along the way we get some of the best team dynamics, funniest Trigaron moments, and most effective storytelling Omega has delivered in weeks.

The question is: Is this the start of a new trend for the series, or just an exception?
