Covering: Ultraman Ace episodes 25 to 28

This week, Ace as we know it comes to an end as the writers kick out one of our protagonists while going scorched earth on the remaining concepts that made the show unique while giving up any pretense of respecting women in one fell swoop. Man, it sucks here. Also a new Ultra Guy is introduced who's probably important but this isn't about him (he jobs in two seconds anyway).
