Strategy/Usage
Like the other Ultra Souls, The Grateful Crane has significantly different stats between Normal (spammable) and Evolved Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.
Normal Form
The Grateful Crane is a really good counter to some of the Cyclones (Black, White, Divine and Red), especially with Sanzo Cat, as he has a fast attack rate, great damage and a chance to knock them back. Besides this, his short range and slow speed only let him be useful against similarly short ranged enemies, despite the damage.
Evolved Form
Super Galaxy Cosmo's uber-long range makes it really useful against long-ranged enemies. Use it to slowly whittle down the health of bosses like Crazed Lizard Cat, Crazed Bird Cat or THE SLOTH.
Super Galaxy Cosmo is an extremely situational Uber Rare, but when used correctly, he can be really helpful for those long-ranged enemies. He should never be used primarily as an attacker, but more backline support.
Super Galaxy Cosmo actually has marginally higher range than Sunfish Jones and Spacefish Jones (850 compared to the Jones' 840), and will proc both of them. But Cosmo can't reliably counter these beasts (due to how his high speed will make him run into their range before actually beginning to attack) unless the sunfishes are literally up to their necks in meatshields first - this usually means that the frontline must be dealt with first. The mechanic is explained in this video.
When Super Galaxy Cosmo is idle, using your regular Cat Cannon will make him run straight into the middle of the fight due to his insane speed, so you should only use it if you need it for certain purposes that are more important than Cosmo's safety.
True Form
The main reason to get this True Form is the gain of a fairly long freeze effect. The uptime may be low, but that's not what it is for. Instead, Cosmo's freeze should be used to create an opportunity for others, such as A. Bahamut, to deal a lot of damage to hard to hit enemies such as Winged Pigge or to gain ground on a speedy army, such as one of Li'l Bun Buns or Angelic Gories, or a tough enemy.
Cosmo's second improvement is his damage, which increases by 40%. His DPS is still low, but once he gets a hit in, he’ll rip a major chunk out of the battlefield. Cosmo is still situational and none of his weaknesses are fixed, though, he can just make up for them better. Overall, this evolution is hardly worth the massive amount of Catfruit it takes, so one should leave this evolution for the late game only, and still consider their options well before grinding for Ultima Galaxy Cosmo.

Trivia
- This unit is loosely based on Crane's Return of a Favor.
- The evolved form references the anime series Saint Seiya. The armor greatly resembles the combination between Cygnus & Pegasus Cloth. The crane circlet and shield-like armlet are highly resembling Cygnus Cloth's trademark while the breastplate, shoulder, hip and leg armor resembling more like the Pegasus Cloth.
- "Cosmo" is another reference to the energy in the Saint Seiya franchise.
- If one looks closely during Super Galaxy Cosmos's attack animation, the projectile he fires is actually a giant glowing crane.
- Super Galaxy Cosmo has one of the longest ranges amongst all Uber Rare Cats.
- He has the second longest attack animation in the game, only beaten by Filibuster Cat.
