Every episode of SSSS.Dynazenon goes so much out of its way to mirror Gridman's setting (same BGs & animation sheets even, adjusted to fit this world) that recycling alone wouldn't explain it. Either it's Akane's world or a deliberate ruse by the staff, both of which they'd do 
Whatever the link with SSSS.Gridman ends up meaning, Dynazenon is leaning hard on the original toku. The show has always drawn from Gridman the Hyper Agent #18: a lot of shared imagery and even Gauma's design, meant to evoke mummy wrapping - the villain/victim in that episode
This week's episode reveals that it goes beyond those visual nods: their origins 5000 years ago, a tragic story involving betrayal, the fact that they came back looking for a woman... Makes you wonder how far the parallels will run
Speculation aside, another great episode! This whole series has very subdued work alongside extremely bombastic bits, with little ground, but it's great at compartmentalizing those styles. You won't see other characters moving with the energy of the temperamental redhead idiots
The whole scene leading to Gauma's confession (which should be Kanno's work) doesn't just have that snappy animation for them, but also some truly stunning layouts
Dynazenon good, Dynazenon very good
