Chainmail Gloves
My readers might be familiar with the phrase “to handle with kid gloves”, meaning to treat something delicately or softly. “Kid” in this case referring to leather made from lambskin or young goats. If you were to have to break tragic news to a friend, or tip-toe around a touchy subject, you might use kid gloves in regard to it.To get more news about

But other times the matters at hand are too heavy, too explosively dangerous or important to simply be fastidious in how one handles it. Sometimes you need to break out the chainmail gloves instead.
As someone with an interest in chemistry, and who now formally teaches it as a job, I’m a big fan of Derek Lowe’s articles “Things I Will Not Work With”. Each of these pieces talks about different substances which provide remarkably novel and interesting dangers for chemists, ranging from the explosive, the toxic, the unpleasantly foul-smelling, or all of the above. In one of the articles, he mentions using chainmail gloves when working with Hydrogen Peroxide – which can serve as rocket fuel in its concentrated forms.
In my own classroom, I have to train my students on proper lab safety protocols, even though they aren’t working with anything nearly that dangerous. It’s good to have a healthy amount of respect for materials in a lab though, because I’ve seen things go wrong in my own experience when people get cocky and make assumptions or cut corners in those procedures. In my lessons, I typically adopt the same language I hear from gun safety instructors – always assume it is loaded and never point it at something you don’t want to hurt or kill.
As of episode 15, our main characters are now working with what is essentially a talking gun. And just like the chainmail gloves, each time Z and Haruki choose to wield it, they must think very carefully about what they’re doing with it.I mentioned in my previous article, Beliarok is an interesting concept (if goofy-looking in execution) because it takes the primary ethical quandary of the show and externalizes it in a way that allows the characters to interrogate it. The question of the purpose of power – particularly power in violence – has been a core part of the Ultraman franchise since the beginning. But at this point, 55 years into the franchise, we have lots of examples of what happens when individuals ignore the consequences of that question, or stop treating it with humility.
