With Ultraman Tiga we enter the Heisei Era! Ultraman Tiga was the show that marked the proper return of the Ultra Series after its disappearance following the failure of Ultraman 80 over a decade earlier. A lot changed within that time and with that change came plenty of talented newcomers eager to put their stamp on the iconic series - among them was arguably Ultraman Tiga’s maverick: Kyota Ka...

Godzilla Minus One, the latest Japanese Godzilla film, recently hit theaters and it has made quite the impression. People from all walks of life are not only calling it one of the best Godzilla films ever... but also one of the best films of the year. The latter sentiment is an insanely interesting reaction for a Godzilla film in the same year that saw films from cinematic legends like Christop...

    Having been an Ultraman geek since I was born in Japan, I watched the movie with half-expected to see how much of a work of art he had created. The first thing that surprised me was the depth of his knowledge of Japan. The cityscapes, of course, but also the Yomiuri Giants and the Hanshin Tigers, whose name is mentioned but still weak... I enjoyed it as an Ultraman fan, a Japanese fan, and a baseball fan. I'm looking forward to the sequel, and I hope it will help Ultraman spread more in America and around the world.

    Alright, how's this one: Ultraman... uh, 'Ken', _probably_ has blue eyes instead of the standard yellow as a callback to the US-made Ultraman Powered? Which lacked the "tear duct" eyeholes as well. That his name is Sato Kenji is amusing to me, because that's a _painfully_ old-fashioned name now that we're in Reiwa. "Agent Sato Kenji" wouldn't be out of place at all as a character name in the Showa shows, and also it looks like both names are in katakana - this was something only Ultraman and Ultra Seven did for its characters until the Heisei shows.

    A few more: * Ultraman Rising's design prevalently features bright blue eyes. Rising is not the first reimagining of Man-San to feature blue eyes, being preceded by Ultraman Powered in 1995's "Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero" (known as "Ultraman Powered in Japan"). * The first fight against Neronga takes place mainly on a single street, possibly being a reference to Powered's first fight (which took place in a similar location). * The show used to calm down Emi in the scene where she does the Godzilla dance is an actual show produced by Tsubaraya, "Kaiju Step Wandaba". * The pod in which Ken's father rests after being injured is designed to resemble the Beta Capule (Man-San's transformation device). * Several monsters make cameo appearances in advertisements seen in the background, including Guesra and Metron. * Emi's climbing of Tokyo Tower references the original 1961 Mothra movie, where Mothra uses it as a brace for building her cocoon. * Mecha Gigantron is based on Mecha King Ghidorah (being a draconic-style kaiju augmented with cybernetics) and Kiryu Mechagodzilla (being able to "break free" of their cybernetics' control somewhat) * The introduction of Mecha Gigantron (being cloaked in shadow while standing in a sunset ocean) references the introduction of Bardiel in Neon Genesis Evangelion. * Ultradad's "facial hair" is based on that of Ultraman King's.

      That’s intentional, the director confirmed it. The director also confirmed that he’s alien, similar to Dan. Which is why Prof. Sato says “She taught me how to be human”. That was alluding to the fact that he’s an alien with a human disguise, similar to Dan!

    動画では触れられてないけど、Risingの青い目はアメリカで制作されたウルトラマンパワード(1995)が元ネタだと思う It's not mentioned in the video, but I think Rising's blue eyes are based on "Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero ( = Ultraman Powered) " (1995) , which was produced in America.

    Ultraman Rising was a great movie and I am a fan of Ultraman besides Godzilla, Gamera, and Super Sentai/ Power Rangers back in the day! The Toku Professor has knowledge of different Kaijus & Kaijins who appear in different shows and movies like Godzilla films, Gamera films, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider! I find it all very interesting and funny too because his two students, Kashima-Kun and Pencil Leopard get into some shenanigans while in The Professor's class!

    Here are a couple of nods I found: -If you listen to the music at the beginning where Ultraman is introduced, you can hear a couple of notes from Ultraman The Next. -At one point Ken jokes that he is "Ultraman The Ultimate Babysitter", a reference to Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.
