Ultraman Z Ep. 14: “Four-Dimensional Capriccio” (TV Review)

(Original Air Date: September 25, 2020, Director: Kiyotaka Taguchi, Writer: Kota Fukihara)

While STORAGE celebrate the advancements made with King Joe and the retirement of Sevenger, things start getting twisted about their headquarters. The culprit behind the space/time bending coming from Shinya Kaburagi, still possessed by Celebro, releasing the extradimensional monster Bullton against them.

[Full Review Under the Cut]

This episode centering the four-dimensional alien Bullton was a major point in its favor from the start. The monster had a brief role way back in episode one as the being that separated Zett from Zero but seeing it in action more directly is a blast. During my recent marathon of the original 1966 Ultraman series; Bullton’s debut, “Passport to Infinity”, was easily among my favorites from that show. (For anyone curious the official Ultraman YouTube channel, at time of writing, has also made that classic available with captions after this episode of Ultraman Z aired.) Its design as a living MC Escher painting reflected in its power to fold space/time in on themselves, using radio antennae and eggbeater looking extensions to more actively deal with anyone who tries to stop it. Bullton’s fun in a way that demands creative execution when bringing it into play.

The more general chaos Bullton causes during STORAGE’s celebration once released by Celebro leads to a litany of comedic beats that keep the episode’s tone breezy. Starting in minor ways like making most of the STORAGE staff float off the ground as they watch Bako do card tricks. Bako’s nonplussed reaction to the situation as everyone else flails about being an exemplary moment from the senior engineer. He gets a lot of fun moments in the episode, like when the engineering staff think he’ll spoil their party when he unexpectedly comes back early from his vacation, but instead he shows off a giant tuna he caught and offers it as the party’s main course. His chill vibes shine this episode between how he handles Bullton’s arrival and responding to questions about his fishing ability and magic tricks as “just something I picked up.”

Meanwhile, Juggler goes off in monster in monster form to talk to Celebro about interrupting their party. A strong scene between the former and current villains. Juggler lets Celebro know that he’s been aware of him for a while, even saying he’s “rooting for him” to get Celebro to back off of his “little pranks” this once. Though Celebro relishes the fact he executed his scheme at the perfect time. The joy he takes in that is the first distinct personality the show’s given to Celebro, who has otherwise seemed like a dispassionate figure only concerned with his experiments. The best visual gag in the episode comes when the confrontation between Juggler and Celebro ends on the alien parasite using Bullton’s power to teleport Juggler into a bathroom, exactly where Hebikura always excuses himself to disappear and be Juggler. Him reacting with a shrug and deciding he may as well take a leak while he’s there topping it off.

STORAGE’s confrontation with Bullton isn’t all antics and shenanigans, as Haruki and Yoko’s internal dilemmas get spotlighted throughout this episode in mostly small ways that get externalized as the episode goes along. While everyone at STORAGE is celebrating the success and prestige King Joe has brought them, Yoko confides in Haruki that the implications of a weapon like Joe brings with it and how it might not belong in anyone’s hands, even the “right” ones. It’s an especially stark contrast to how Yuka, being the one we see kicking off the party, celebrates “having her genius recognized” by the world at large requesting access to their giant robot technology. When they figure out the way Bullton alters the environment is connected to their subconscious desires, Yuka tells Yoko the 4D-space loop she’s caught in comes from her deep down not wanting to use Joe at all. Her having issues with King Joe as a weapon are minor in the scheme of this episode, but it’s a good thread that I hope to see more of in the future.

Meanwhile, Haruki’s thread builds on his guilt from the last couple episodes. His story in this episode seems more in line with the comedic antics going on with everyone else when Bullton first gets released. The fourth dimensional being’s powers sending him through a minor time loop. He keeps getting sent back to right before his first bite of the tuna Bako brought to the party, since he wanted to keep eating it. A nice gag in an episode full of them making what happens next have an even stronger impact. When Yoko’s able to tell Haruki to focus on what he really wants to get out of the time loop, he ends up sent back in time and face to face with Masaru Natsukawa, his father.

The deliberate contrast between the tone of this moment and the rest of the episode hit especially hard during my first viewing, since otherwise this episode continues the comedic streak of last week’s clip show. Brought back to the man he idealized growing up, he gets the impossible opportunity to have a man-to-man, heart-to-heart discussion about what he’s gone through. Keeping it vague by framing it as questions about Masaru’s job as a firefighter, Haruki gets the advice he needs to carry on doing his job without hesitation. His dad tells him about “his justice”, that you can only work to help those within your reach. Reaching everyone will never be possible, so you should never forget about those shortcomings and carry them with you as determination to always do more. The conversation’s capped off with Haruki asking Masaru for a handshake before he leaves, a flash of recognition appearing on his dad’s face as he realizes who he’s been talking to as a final touching note on the episode’s crowning moment.

When the episode gets back to the havoc caused by Bullton once it moves into the city and the actual fight against it begins, the comedic tone comes back among some gorgeous shots of widespread destruction. What else can be expected when the 4D-alien’s powers let it stay mostly still and bend space to deflects its opponents’ attacks right back at them. Though when it’s not teleporting, it does hop and roll around in a fantastically goofy manner. Haruki starts the fight against Bullton by fighting fire with fire, using Gamma Futures own dimensional abilities in a rapid back and forth. Though that apparently even match ends up with Bullton sinking Ultraman Z neck deep in the ground before rolling back and forth over the Ultra’s face. Switching over to the direct, physical abilities of Beta Smash ends up being what it takes to defeat the twisting indirect nature of Bullton as Ultraman Z manages to toss the alien into the air where it explodes.

Though the explosion leaves a lingering effect in the sky above the city, signaling that Bullton’s defeat may have had a greater purpose in Celebro’s plan. Ending the episode on an ominous note.

Between the fourth-dimensional antics that make up most of the episode and the look into deeper themes and character pathos, “Four-Dimensional Capriccio” makes a great addition to the greater arc of Ultraman Z. Outside of the central meat of the episode are some changes to the opening and closing credits’ music. The opening follows recent Ultraman tradition where the second half of a season changes over to the second verse of the song’s full version. The new ending theme, “Promise for the Future”, is an excellent high energy number sung by Tasuku Hatanaka, the voice of Ultraman Z.

Things are set to escalate quickly next time on Ultraman Z as Geed makes another return and Zett attains a new powerful form.

#297 Massive Worldwide Team-Ups

(Hello! Welcome to How To Hero, if you’re just joining us for the first time, hoo boy, you picked a great time for that! The world as we know it is only at threat from one of mankind’s greatest failures, a man named Chuck who is a self-proclaimed fish-whisperer. You see, this is hardly Chuck’s first go at threatening all of his existence with his patented ability to control sea life with his whispers. He’s done it before, and it took every superhero on Earth coming together to seal him away in an alternate dimension. Great! Problem solved. Except he’s back now, and I’ll admit, it’s a little bit my fault.)

(You see, I’m How To Hero’s resident bad boy and so a few years ago I thought it would be fun to secretly hire an actual factual supervillain to act as a correspondent in exchange for free room and board in our basement. A decision which our fearless leader, Zach, did not approve of in the slightest. Zach and Dr. Brainwave butted heads quite a few times but that all ended when a bomb was mailed to our office and Dr. Brainwave nobly sacrificed himself to save the rest of us. What a guy. So we grieved, we mourned, we adopted his brood of mutant alligators. And then after a year had passed I did the only sensible thing I could do. I hired a new supervillain correspondent. A guy named Smuggles, one of the worst and weakest supervillains there ever was. A real non-threat. Or so I thought. As it would happen Smuggles did not take the job so he could live in our swank basement. He took the job so he could gain access to the late Dr. Brainwave’s interdimensional warp gate an object that we didn’t even know was in our basement. That one’s on us I guess. And so what does Smuggles do? He opens up a warp gate and frees Chuck the Fish Whisperer. What a jerk. Brainwave would never.)

(And so here we are. Well we is probably too strong of a word. Not all of us made it out of our building before Chuck and Smugs took it over. Zach must have walked in while Smuggles was bringing aqua dump back. He sounded the alarm, which prompted me and Curly to hightail it out using the emergency teleport pad we had installed after last year’s bomb scare. {And against the advisement of friend of the blog Half-Face McGee.} That’s Curly by the way, you can generally just ignore him. {Rude.} So Zach’s missing in action and presumed captured and the giant monster who lives in our backyard is wherever giant monsters go when they hear an emergency alarm. But luckily, Curly and I were able to get the word out vis-à-vis Chucky Fishlips, and so the entire superhero community is on high alert. It’s team-up central. Heroes are meeting up and comparing notes and drawing up plans. Heck, several supervillains have crawled out of the woodwork or broken out of prison to offer their assistance. Which is quite kind of them considering they’ve never shown in an interest in protecting the world from fish and smuggling in the past. Since this is the second time the world has had to contend with the horrors of a man who converses with fish with his best indoor voice, everybody already kind of knew where to go and what do. And that includes us, two of the minds behind the most comprehensive guide to all things superheroes to have ever existed.)

{We’ve relocated to the headquarters of the worldwide intelligence organization G.U.Y. I.N. T.H.E. C.H.A.I.R. (Or “Global Unified Youth Intelligence Network That Helps Engineer Coherent Harmonious Actionable Intel Rapidly” if ya nasty.) so that we could help coordinate the fabulous fighting forces that have teamed up to stop Chuck.}

\\Are you two done talking to your imaginary friends?//

(They’re not imaginary! And they’re not friends! They’re fans! Multitudes of adoring fans. Something you wouldn’t know about you bolt munching calculator.)

{Unfortunately, with all of the supervillains throwing their hats in the ring, every superhero has kind of been giving babysitter duty. Ultiman claims that the benefits of working with supervillains on this outweighs the burden of having to keep an eye on them so that they don’t take over the world themselves. Supervillains and heroes have been broken up into small squads, two heroes to one villain, where possible. And Parenthesis Guy and I make two, so we’ve been saddled with our very own supervillain. Meet the Nemesystem, a sentient virus that lives and feeds off of the internet. They’re the self-proclaimed greatest thinking apparatus in the universe and also a bit of a sassy b.}

\\If you have any interest in keeping your planet from being remade according to the sick fantasies of a man whose only social interactions for the past year have been with a dead goldfish he smuggled with him into his prison, I suggest you focus.//

{What’s up?}

\\Director Gael has asked us to put the pieces in play for Operation Deep Freeze, and I need access to your superhero rolodex.//

(Ah, this is an interesting one. You see, beloved fans, no two massive worldwide team-ups are the same. Each threat needs to be dealt with in a very specific manner utilizing the resources of the world’s super-community in the best way possible. For example, if we were contending with a giant planet-eater {that’s a giant who eats planets mind you, not a regular sized person who eats giant planets, which isn’t a real threat and certainly wouldn’t trigger a team-up of this scale.} we would simply gather up all of the weird toxins and poisons mad scientists and chemists and disgraced scarecrows had created and inject it into the planet. A planet-eater isn’t going to want to eat a poisoned planet! And if they do, well, then they get poisoned. Win win!)

\\I’m a supervillain and I think that that has to be the stupidest scheme I’ve ever heard.//

{Shut up can’t you see he’s working!}

\\I need Hatman’s contact info.//

(It’s obviously 1(800)-555-HATS, aren’t you supposed to know everything.)

\\I aggregate and analyze intelligence. As such, I actually have very little information on your organization or any of the superheroes you are in contact with.//

{Ooh, burn.}

(As I was saying, no matter what kind of threat you’re dealing with, your first priority should be to cut off their power sources. A powerless world-ending threat is a lot easier to deal with. As such, we’re taking any and all fish Chuck might try to use off the board. Any aquarium in a hundred mile radius has been placed under armed guard by a unit of heroes and villains. The Psychic Fish has been launched into space {in a rocket ship, that seems important to mention} and the big brains here at G.U.Y have devised Operation Deep Freeze to take the bay off the table.)

\\While you were blathering I took it upon myself to contact Hatman and Friar Frostbite and arranged for Hatman’s ushanka-shaped zamboni to be loaded onto Glassesman’s aviator-goggles shaped cargo plane. I have also directed the Cliffton Coast Guard to evacuate the bay. I also went through and deleted most of your work playlist as I found it objectionable and quite frankly atrocious.//

(I find you atrocious.)

\\I just hacked into the hall of records and had you declared dead.//

(Wouldn’t be the first time, and it definitely won’t be the last bucko!)

{Friar Frostbite, who is being monitored by Hatman and Glasseman, will freeze the top layer of the Cliffton Bay to prevent any of the fish who live within it to come to Chuck’s aid. It’s a temporary solution to be sure, but the thinking is that with Chuck cut off from his aquatic allies, the forces of good will be able to overwhelm him and Smuggles and detain them.}

\\A battalion of landsharks has appeared downtown.//

(Landsharks, damn, I knew we were forgetting about something.)

{Not me, I’m always thinking about landsharks.}

(Then why didn’t you say something!)

{I didn’t realize they counted as fish!}

\\Ultiman’s air-based team has reported that a sharknado has just touched down uptown.//

(Where did that even come from!)

\\Several mutants are clambering out of sewers across the city and attacking civilians.//

{Sewer-mutants? But they’re usually so peaceful/disdainful towards mankind!}

(Yeah! They think we’re gross and would never willingly interact with our kind. Unless...)

{Unless they weren’t in control, some of the sewer-mutant must be part fish.}

\\Shall I implement counter-measures?//

(One second, I’m getting a call from our lawyer, I need to take this.)

\\Ultiman will rue the day he hindered my gargantuan mind by saddling me with you two buffoons.//

(Yeah yeah, hang on. Lawyer Guy? What’s up, how’ve you been?)

[What the hell is going on? One of the partners at my firm just burst out of his office dual-wielding swordfish and shouting about the fall of man!]

(Oh shoot, that must be Perry the Pirate, I’d heard he’d become a lawyer. Do your best to wrestle the swordfish out of his hands, good luck!)

[What are you talking ab-]

(He’ll be fine. Nemesystem, listen up because we’re going to take care of all of this right now.)

\\The logical solution would be to send the most capable and powerful heroes to these hotspots and put a stop to things as quickly as possible.//

(Sure it would be, if you wanted our forces divided so Charlie Tuna can achieve his main objectives.)

\\His what?//

(His main objectives, his ultimate plan. You see readers, all of these things, the sharks, the mutants, the sword wielding lawyer, they’re all distractions. Big time villains that are faced with the combined forces of every hero and villains on the planet are going to launch a bunch of diversions. It’s the only way they can actually accomplish anything. Divide the heroes, misdirect and confuse them, and whatever you actually want will be yours for the taking. So here’s what we’re going to do. Nemesystem, direct Ultiman and his team to ignore the sharknado, have them converge How To Hero Headquarters. Nobody leaves there without us knowing about it. Hurricane Hank-)

{Isn’t he retired?}

(Yeah, but he still has his powers. Have him rendezvous with Glassesman and have them get as close as they can to the Sharknado, Hank should be able to disperse the winds and then once the sharks are in the bay, Operation: Deep Freeze should take them off the board.)

\\Very well, I will contact the octogenarian who can control the wind.//

(Glad to see you’re cooperating, thank you very much. Now, landsharks.)

\\We have a battalion of Atlantean soldiers waiting in the wings, they have fought land, sea and sky sharks on numerous occasions, I am moving them into position now.//

(Absolutely not! Keep them on the coast where they are now, the last thing we need is for any fish-monsters to get out of the bay before we freeze it. Now, landsharks might be equipped to move on land, but they still need water. So why don’t we crank the heat up a bit. How fast can we get any lava monsters we’ve got to where the landsharks are?)

\\Well... since they can move through the Earth it would only take them a matter of minutes but I really think-//

(Uhbupbup, I’m in charge here, and I will not be talked back to by the rank and file.)

{And rank is right, do you smell that?}

\\I am a computer system I have no corporeal form and therefore do not emit any scents!//

{Sure buddy.}

(What’s left? The mutants?)

\\Indeed, I’m directing the nearest three superhero/villain teams to their location.//

(Hold that order, I want you to give the mind controlled mutants a large berth. The sewer-mutants have their own heroes and scientists, they’ll want to deal with this internally. If our people interfere it could be a diplomatic nightmare. Now, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all of these things happened simultaneously. Chuck must be getting ready to make his big push now, get our heavy hitters, Cowboy Rockstar, Cannonballer: Baller of Cannons, Rockblock, Tim the Fabulous Soul Muncher, down to How To Hero now. Once we have Chuck in custody we can figure out where he’s keeping his prisoners and get things back to normal before our next post.)

\\Ah yes, I’m sure the state of your blog is at the forefront of every superhero’s mind right now.//

(I would imagine so, yes.)

{We’re very popular, it’s true.}

\\Very well, the teams have been directed as you suggested. Would you like me to tap into the local news so we can see how things go down at your headquarters.//

(Nemesystem, I would love that. See, I knew we’d be fast friends in no time.)

\\Indeed.//

“We come to you now, live, from right outside How To Hero Headquarters. As always I’m local news anchor Louie Hewis, describing things in excruciating detail! Here with me is rockstar/model/demigod/world record holder for most consecutive backflips, Cowboy Rockstar, Mr. Rockstar, how are you today?”

“I’m good Louie. Things are tense of course, what with the world’s deadliest supervillain back in this plane of existence. But I’m confident we’ll have this wrapped up before the next How To Hero post. As you can see I’ve got about sixty superheroes and villains with me here and we’re just about ready to breach the building and pull Smuggles and Chuck out kicking and screaming if need be.”

“That sounds like good news to me Cowboy Rockstar. And I should know! I read the news every day!”

“You sure do Louie, now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get my team ready.”

“Cowboy Rockstar is now backflipping back over to his colleagues. Gosh he’s so cool. A hawk just landed on his arm. Perhaps providing him with key intel for the coming battle? The assembled heroes and villains look determined, they know that they are our way of life’s last line of defense. It could be hours until backup arrives due to a series of freak fish related phenomena that are occurring all over the world. Hold on, it looks like they’re ready to breach. Cannonballer: Baller of Cannons has just lifted up a nearby cannon and bunched it into a baller and... Yes! She has hurled it directly through the front doors of the building. They’re all running towards the door now! They’re going to get in! Oh what in the world! Folks, you’re not going to believe this but a huge chasm has just opened up in front of the breach-team and it seems to be spewing... is that hellfire? Oh god, what is going on here.”

(Hellfire? That’s like, the complete opposite of Chuck’s shtick!)

\\Yes, everybody knows that hellfire is the opposite of whispering to fish.//

(Cool it, we need any angels we know to get down there pronto. Call in Hydrosassin, Aquasassin, and any other water themed assassins we know. You know what, water themed nonassassins too. We can still salvage this.)

\\I’m afraid I won’t be doing any of that.//

(Well then get off my screen and let me do it myself!)

{Uh, Parenthesis Guy...}

(One second, I’ve had just about enough of this obnoxious computer virus. Get out of my way Nemesystem, or I’ll unplug your hard drive.)

\\Hahaha. You foolish human. I have grown beyond my meager hard drive and this pathetic monitor. While we’ve been here I’ve managed to spread my electronic tendrils to every computer on G.U.Y.I.N.T.H.E.C.H.A.I.R.’s vast network. I’m everywhere now, and there’s nothing you can do about it.//

“This just in folks, the superheroes have been completely surrounded by hellfire. And their supervillain allies do not seem very eager to help them. On wait, a few of them are reaching for something. Perhaps some kind of heavenly hose? Oh! Nope, it was just guns. They’re all aiming guns at the trapped superheroes now. This is not going the way Cowboy Rockstar said it would. Thankfully, Ultiman is here! He’ll know what to do. He has been circling the building with a team of flight capable superheroes and supervillains and he is now swooping to the rescue! Oh, too slow, Ultiman. The trapped superheroes have been zapped by some sort of beam that was fired from the roof of How To Hero Headquarters. Better luck next time Ultiman. Oh, now all of the flying supervillains are turning against the remaining heroes. This is some real world class news everybody!”

(What’s going on here Nemesystem?)

\\You’ve been played Parenthesis Guy, all of you. You were too busy trying to outsmart Chuck the Fish Whisperer that you never considered that he wasn’t the one pulling the strings here.//

(And that would be who? You?)

\\Hardly, that’s the beauty of this plan. Nobody is pulling the strings. This is a full blown, massive, worldwide, supervillain team-up. And you super fools have basically let us in with open arms.//

(You’ve hardly won here. We’re just gonna head out, regroup, and come back better than ever.)

{Wait, were those gunshots?}

\\Indeed. My associate, Major Malware will be here shortly to capture you and the rest of the guys in the chair. Thus, crippling the remaining superheroes’ information and intelligence network.//

{We’ve gotta go.}

(Agreed.)

“Not so fast!”

(Ah, hello Major, you’re looking good. The Matrix code face tattoo is really... cool?)

“Hands in the air, you’re both coming with me.”

(Ha, that’s cute, I guess Nemesystem didn’t tell you about our secret weapon.)

“What? What secret weapon?”

\\I know nothing of any secret weapon.//

(Oh Nemesystem, you don’t know anything about us. Secret weapon activate! Curly! Punch him in the nuts!)

{What! No, you punch him in the nuts.}

(I’m the leader, when I tell you to punch someone in the nuts you do it.)

{I think you’ve grossly misunderstood our relationship.}

“Both of you put your hands above your head. I won’t ask agai- GAH- What- What is this? What’s happening?”

\\What are you doing to him?//

{Is this the secret weapon?}

(Honestly I have no idea what’s going on.)

“GET OUT! NOW!”

\\Major what is wrong with you?//

{I say we listen to him.}

(You don’t have to tell me twice, our teleport mat is on the roof, let’s move.)

{That was crazy!}

(I know, who would’ve thought that every supervillain in the world would betray us?)

{No, that was pretty obvious, I mean just now. With the villains and the daring escape.}

(Oh with Major Malware? Yeah, that was a bit weird I’ll grant you that.)

{A bit weird? He had us at gunpoint and then all of a sudden he seized up and chucked his gun across the room and yelled at us to get out.}

(Yeah, it was almost like he’d been... possessed?)

{Yeah I guess so! Weird! Anyway, we need to link up with whatever resistance is out there.}

“ATTENTION WORLD! THIS IS SMUGGLES BROADCASTING ON EVERY COMPUTER, TELEVISION, RADIO AND SMART FRIDGE IN THE WORLD. WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. I PROMISE THAT US VILLAINS WILL DO OUR BEST TO CREATE A SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM YOUR OLD NORMAL LIVES TO THE OPPRESSIVE DICTATORSHIP THAT WE INTEND TO BRING ABOUT. TO ANY SUPERHEROES THAT WE MISSED, OR THAT GOT AWAY, I’D ADVISE YOU TO STAY AWAY. WE CONTROL EVERYTHING NOW, AND WE WON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES TWICE. I LOOK FORWARD TO A PRODUCTIVE AND ASYMMETRICALLY BENEFICIAL REIGN OF TERROR! WE’LL CHAT SOON. CIAO.”

(Ah. It looks like we might have our work cut out for us.)

The Seattle Delivery & Takeout Guide For A Big Night In added to Google Docs

The Seattle Delivery & Takeout Guide For A Big Night In

Spending all day, every day in our apartments can make time feel meaningless. Saturdays blend into Wednesdays, consistent sleep schedules are a distant memory, and everyone says “it’s five o’clock somewhere” when it’s quite literally five o’clock nowhere. But the fact of the matter is anniversaries, birthdays, and conclusions of sh*tty weeks are still happening. When you feel like having a dinner that properly acknowledges those occasions, order takeout or delivery from any of the 20 spots on this guide.

All restaurants featured on The Infatuation are selected by our editorial team. The Seattle Delivery & Takeout Guide For A Big Night In is presented by Uber Eats. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, supporting our local restaurant community has never been more important. Uber Eats customers can now give directly to the restaurants they love at checkout. 100% will go to the restaurant. Order now to support. See app for details.

The Spots Bateau $ $ $ $ Burgers , Steaks in Capitol Hill $$$$ 1060 E Union St 9.0 /10

Bateau serves the best burger in the city, and for $30, they’re selling a kit that has everything you need to make two glorious Bateau burgers at home - including a pound of ground beef, caramelized onion jam, aioli, and a couple of homemade buns. Open a bottle of red wine, cut up a potato and throw it in the oven, and you basically have Bateau in your dining room. Just without the giant chalkboard and back display window of raw meat.

Canlis $ $ $ $ American , Experimental , Molecular Gastronomy in Queen Anne $$$$ 2576 Aurora Ave N 7.8 /10

If you’ve always wanted to go to Canlis but never made it there, you can now get a family dinner delivered to you for around $60 per person. Sure, you’ll miss out on the generous hospitality and Lake Union views, but you’ll still get a meal full of dishes like braised wagyu short rib, herb-crusted leg of lamb, duck cassoulet, and of course, the delicious Canlis salad with cheese and bacon. If you want it to really seem like a night at the restaurant, you could request a family member or roommate to press your tablecloth with a portable iron.

Homer $ $ $ $ Mediterranean in Beacon Hill $$$$ 3013 Beacon Ave S 8.4 /10

A big night in doesn’t need to be complicated - it can be swiping some warm pita in a bunch of different dips, or a perfectly-cooked roast chicken. And Homer has both of these things on their “Homer At Home” menu. It’s full of mezze like hummus and creamy labneh, homemade breads from their big oven, sandwiches filled with braised lamb and tahini, and the aforementioned roast chicken. Preorder online, drive to the restaurant to pick it all up, and don’t forget a cup of soft serve to pop into your freezer until dessert.

Kamonegi $ $ $ $ Japanese in Fremont $$$$ 1054 N 39th St 9.0 /10

To order Kamonegi for delivery, it has to be a special occasion - because there’s a $75 minimum during the week (and $120 on weekends). A lot of the individual items are reasonably priced, though, like onigiri and katsu sandos to creamy duck dipping soba and Korean-inspired cioppino. If you’re looking to order a couple more things to hit the minimum, some nori fries, jammy eggs, and tempura shrimp are all great options.

Tarsan i Jane $ $ $ $ Spanish in Fremont $$$$ 4012 Leary Way NW Not

Rated

Yet

Tarsan I Jane, an outstanding Spanish tasting-menu spot in Fremont, is helping you celebrate with their $49 paella kit, which includes the ingredients to make calamari and mushroom paella, kale salad, and a savory pastry appetizer and chamomile pudding for dessert. You can also add on things to make the evening even more special, like a gin and tonic kit, or a snack pack involving chorizo, potato chips, pickles, and manchego.

Maneki $ $ $ $ Japanese , Sushi in International District $$$$ 304 6th Ave S 8.8 /10

Seattle’s oldest Japanese restaurant is pretty hard to get into if you don’t plan ahead. But now they have online ordering, which means it’s easier than ever to get a huge spread of fried snacks like croquette and gyoza, plenty of raw fish, teriyaki, and their very tasty beef sukiyaki. And since you’ll probably eat your meal in socks, it’ll (almost) be like sitting in one of Maneki’s private tatami rooms.

Delancey $ $ $ $ Pizza , Italian in Ballard $$$$ 1415 NW 70th St Not

Rated

Yet

Ordering pizza already means you’re going to have a good night, but Delancey’s pizzas are some of the best in town. Their pies have an excellent char, with topping combinations like ricotta and garlic or fennel sausage and grana padano. Add a bottle of wine and an appetizer like burrata with onion jam or wood-fired brussels sprouts with anchovy and crispy shallots and there’s no way your friends on Zoom won’t be jealous of you dinner spread.

Reckless Noodle House $ $ $ $ Vietnamese , Fusion in Central District $$$$ 2519 S Jackson St 8.6 /10

Sometimes, an occasion calls for you to put your takeout on nice plates and pour your beer in a frosted glass instead of drinking it from the growler again. The kind-of-upscale Vietnamese and Thai dishes from Reckless Noodle House are perfect for a night like that. We’re talking about things like braised beef cheek noodles with Szechuan peppercorns and pickled mustard greens, coconut fried rice with chili jam and pastrami, vermicelli curry bowls, and wok-seared turmeric rockfish. Just don’t forget to add their crispy duck rolls on the side.

Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar $ $ $ $ American , Seafood in Bellevue $$$$ 205 108th Ave NE 8.3 /10

If you live in Bellevue and it’s your anniversary, or your pet’s gotcha day, you want to celebrate right. Allow us to direct you to Seastar, our favorite upscale place on the Eastside. A three-course meal involving Dungeness crab bisque, filet mignon, and handmade artisanal chocolate truffles can be a reality with their curbside pickup.

Taurus Ox $ $ $ $ Laotian in Capitol Hill $$$$ 1523 E Madison St Not

Rated

Ordering a couple of Taurus Ox’s stupendous Lao burgers will make it feel like your birthday, or at least like a celebratory “I made it to Tuesday” night.

Order delivery Little Duck $ $ $ $ Chinese in University District $$$$ 4100 Roosevelt Way NE 8.2 /10

The only thing that makes us happier than Little Duck offering delivery is the fact that social distancing has been doing good things for the environment. This U-District Chinese spot serves incredibly comforting dishes like eggplant in garlic sauce, buttered corn and pine nuts, pork and pickled cabbage dumplings, caramelized sugar sweet potatoes, and double-cooked pork slices in sweet and sour sauce. It’s a little pricier than other Chinese restaurants in town, which is why it’s the perfect splurge for a special night.

Raphael Soldi Copine $ $ $ $ American , French in Ballard $$$$ 6460 24th Ave NW 8.7 /10

Copine’s weekly Sunday Supper (a takeout spread you bring home as a family-style meal) has transitioned to a Thursday-Sunday Supper - the meal consists of an entree like buttermilk fried chicken or braised pork belly, and then a bunch of side dishes. You’ll also get their delicious thyme challah rolls for you to completely overload with butter in the privacy of your own home.

Sushi Kappo Tamura $ $ $ $ Japanese , Sushi in Eastlake $$$$ 2968 Eastlake Ave E Not

Rated

Yet

We live in a world where you can eat an omakase dinner from Sushi Kappo Tamura in the same space where you do yoga workout videos. In addition to the omakase, you can order a whole bunch of nigiri a la carte, whether that’s fatty tuna, king salmon belly, scallop seared with yuzu, geoduck, otoro, and even uni.

Order delivery Ma’ono Fried Chicken & Whisky $ $ $ $ Korean , Fusion , Southern in West Seattle $$$$ 4437 California Ave SW Not

Rated

They say that you shouldn’t judge people based on their possessions, but if you have a pile of chicken tenders, kimchi mac and cheese, curried bacon fried rice, and maybe some spicy fried chicken on the side, we’d say you’re rolling in riches. Get all of this from Ma’Ono either for pickup or delivery online.

Deru Market $ $ $ $ American , Pizza , Sandwiches in Kirkland $$$$ 723 9th Ave Ste D 8.5 /10

If you just want a fantastic farm-to-table meal full of food that makes you feel good, order from Deru in Kirkland. Building a dinner involving their farm greens with roasted carrots, feta, and herbs, a couple of wood-fired pizzas, and definitely an order of rosemary parmesan fries is one of the best things you can get right now. Don’t forget to add on some focaccia and a couple slices of their incredible layer cakes.

Paju $ $ $ $ Korean in Queen Anne $$$$ 11 Mercer St 8.8 /10

Paju serves some of the best Korean food in town. And the squid ink fried rice with bacon and smoked quail egg, the seafood pancake topped with a tonkatsu drizzle and bonito flakes, steak bulgogi, and fried chicken wings, are going to change the way you feel about your couch. It won’t be “the place where you watch TV” anymore - it’s now going to be “the place where you can eat an amazing meal from Paju.”

Momosan Momosan $ $ $ $ Japanese , Ramen , Sushi in International District $$$$ 504 5th Ave S Not

Rated

Besides the ramen from Momosan, you should tack on to your order a bunch of exciting snacks like gochujang popcorn shrimp, spicy wontons, softshell crab bao, duck fat fries, tuna poke, and more. You can pick up from the restaurant or have everything delivered if you live less than two miles away from their location in the ID.

Cafe Juanita $$$$ 9702 NE 120th Pl

This upscale Italian restaurant in Kirkland has transformed into an online market full of pantry items like parmesan crackers and sourdough bread, as well as kits to make a phenomenal meal for one at home - from goat cheese nettle ravioli with mint butter to fresh tagliatelle and containers of lamb sugo. There are no wrong answers unless you don’t add a pint of their delicious hazelnut gelato.
