The story is quite good, overall quite enjoyed

Episode Context

A sharp, modernized franchise opener that wastes no time establishing its tone: action-driven but morally weighted. Joe Shimamura returns as 009 in a story that immediately complicates the clean heroics of classic cyborg adventure, this isn't a celebration of power, it's a question about what power is for. Dr. Gilmore anchors the investigative thread, grounding the episode's brisk pacing in purpose rather than spectacle. The real tension arrives with Graviton, a figure who reframes the episode's central conflict in deeply unsettling terms. Expect high-impact action sequences bookending a taut setup, with thematic emphasis on justice, identity, and the ethics of violence. Team dynamics take a back seat to ideological contrast, making this feel less like a superhero team-up and more like a reckoning.
