Little did she know, but the dragon's name was also Goro.


As for piloting without acid suits, I don't think the lack of a suit is the big issue. Amakusa got swallowed like three times, and only once was she even wearing partial suit. She doesn't seem to have any nasty acid-burns even from the one time where there wasn't a crew on hand with the laxative injectors. I'm more interested in the method of control. Without the helmet's virtual reality-goggles, how do you even know what part of the stomach to poke at what time? My guess is that there was someone riding up on top in the past, or the pilot was little more than a chewy sacrificial fuel cell.

Actually, I'm not entirely clear on that. Is a dragon physically unable to fly without swallowing someone first?

I can't disagree with that. When I first read the premise, I expected the pilots to ride in the cockpit-part of the jet-costume. For now my hopes are that the show turns into a comedic slice-of life kind of thing with the actual dragon-riding being something that only rarely happens. As a joke, 'the dragon eats people' isn't all that funny. In other words, more phone-cat and favourite drink-debates, less dragon-digestion please.

Actually, until the twister-training scene, I thought that the dragon eating people was NOT supposed to happen and that safety regulations would be based around avoiding it at all costs.
