Ultraman is finsihed after TEo
>>23917437It's Teover...
>>23917437First Super Sentai. Now Ultraman. Next year will be the end of Kamen Rider, I guess.
>>23917514Next year will be the end of Project R.E.D.
>Super Sentai crashed and burned>Project RED flopping like a fish>Ultraman dying a slow death>Kamen Rider on life support >Godzilla hasn't had men in rubber suits in years>other toku productions completely ignoredTokusatsu is a dead genre

Teo is going to have a Ginga-tier budget because all the money went to Zero.
>>23917695I just read this as Giga-tier budget as in that porn company.
>>23917773They're probably about the same
The current voice of Belial.
>>23917695Why do they think burning bridges at their current position is such a good idea...
>>23917841China is Ultra's biggest audience by a long shot and their favorite Ultra by a long shot is Zero because he's essentially Sun Wukong. Appealing to China is Tsuburaya's best shot at survival.
>>23917437>>23917502>>23917514>>23917516>>23917672>Ultraman has a market in America and China>Rider don't.Now run back to /krg/ and get laughed at.
>>23917923Rider has a market in China. Zeztz is doing well there.
>>23917924Yeah, and only Zeztz. For some reason, China loves Tiga and Zero...But hate the hero Tsuburaya Productions made for them, Metal Kaiser.
Another KINGtos win...!
>franchise dies>franchise survives but has to pander to ChinaHonestly don't know which is worse.
>>23918125The latter, easily
>>23917923Why are you obsessed with Kamen Rider?
Sex with Sorato.
>>23918173Why are the shitposters from /krg/ obsessed with Ultraman?
So not only are the /krg/ shitposters trying to ruin the threads, we got a death battle pajeet in the mix too.>>23918092
>>23918306>>23918309Why are you obsessed with /krg/?
>>23918329>u-ur de obsessed o-oneMaybe hide it better that you're a known shit poster from /krg/.
>>23917695The budget is one thing, but I welcome better directions than whatever Omega first half was. Some scenes felt awkward, like Sorato and Kosei's first conflictWell, calling it conflict is too generous. Sorato was just cool in general, while Kosei was overreacting for no reason
>>23918359You're the one who made this all about Kamen Rider and /krg/ in the first place, dumb schizo.
>>23917841What bridge is burning?
>>23918360Boring was what it was. It took too long to introduce all the toys. You can cut like 4 episodes and used them for the second half when the team gets established instead.
>>23918364the ones /krg/ made up.
>out of NOWHERE
>>23918360Omega had an inexplicable amount of body horror
>>23918374jeet's back. go back to deathbattle.
>>23917672I can see even Rider someday gonna go similar to what Godzilla is now. Many people keep thinking tokusatsu means "transforming hero and giant monster disaster" instead of the filming technique, that's why "toku-anime" term got brought up many times.
>>23918461Tokusatsu literally just means 'practical special effects'. And looking at the Japanese wiki, you see everything they consider 'Tokusatsu'. Including the fucking Muppets.
>>23918467Even in Japan native speakers generally view it with implications of "transforming heroes," "robots," or "kaiju." I believe in general parlance that they probably just use "SFX" to refer to the broad category of special effects.It's fine to use it as a loanword for Japanese heroes and kaiju as a genre classifier. Though there is a practical purpose of using the term since, yeah, stuff like Muppets or kung fu movies or Star Wars or even the Jackson LotR trilogy where they have a hefty emphasis on the special effects and stunt work can be discussed as toku. Just that it's less useful than discussing toku as specifically Japanese media, if you're talking in English.
>>23918482I mean they literally have genres for those. Mechs, Kyodai Heroes, Henshin Heroes, Kaiju...
>>23918497Yes but the point is that while "tokusatsu" is a term for special effects in Japanese, they still generally use it in the same way that we in the English speaking world do.It's understandably more narrow in how it's used in English but if you bring up Wikias you should also recognize that Japanese wikis have a separate page for "SFX as in visual effects" and "tokusatsu as in stuff like heroes and kaiju."
Currently watching Taro as my first ever Ultraman series and I'm loving it. What should I watch next? I remember reading something about Seven being considered one of the important classics.
>>23918560what did you like about taro? if you like the bullshit that taro pulls, you'll like ace. if you like more serious episodes, you'll like return of ultraman
>>23918560If you like Taro you should 100% go back and watch the OG show before anything else. Not because it's SUPER similar to Taro or anything, but you clearly like Show Ultra already and the OG show is just genuinely great, on the shorter end too.
>>23918572I like the aforementioned bullshit and the overall feel-goodness of the plots (like how every episode ends on a shot of Kotaro smiling), and I especially love the monster dismemberment. Also genuinely surprised at how much I like Kenichi as the kiddo sidekick. >>23918574Sounds good, might do OG and then Ace next.
>>23918364Still peculiar that there's no suits for Cosmos or Mebius Phoenix Brave
>>23918376If by body horror, you mean Kosei's over acting, then sure. It was horrifying to see
>>23919128We're about due for another Kaiju Boom.
>>23919128>even Uchusen has no faith in TeoIt really is over
>>23919429lol yeah bro, ultraman, doomed since 1963, amirite leddit? Fuck off.
>>23919793It honestly feels like a suit for Teo that they stuck Zero's head onto at the last minute. They have the same heart shaped abdomen pattern.
>>23919860I thought it was an Arc suit, what with the diamond color timer and all
>>23919865someone should make an edit with having Arc's head but also some add-on said head.
>>23919793Shit you're right. Feels like it could've been their Decade/Zi-O but then they gave it to Zero
>>23919793Put Teo's head on the suit and change the red to blue.

>>23919970feels off with zero taking front and center instead of the new ultra.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10819754956
>>23919983when was that never the case?
>>23920074Ginga VictoryXOrb GeedR/BTaiga ZTrigger Decker Blazar Arc Omega The only ultra Zero has overshadowed is Mebius
>>23919793They're really getting lazy with the designs these days. Even Teo. Just alter the basic Ultraman pattern and voila. Feel like X and arguably R/B have unique designs.
>>23920126>Ginga,victoryZero was still doing Retsuden up until 2016 and he shows up in the movie>Xliterally shows up in the show for no fucking reason>Orbshows up in the movie and had a whole fucking segment in the mini series dedicated to hyping emerium fucking slugger>Geedare you fucking joking?>R/Bprobably the only year that zero isnt actually doing anything>Taigaliterally shows up and had a moment with a fake belial >Zare you fucking joking?>Trigger>DeckerUGF>Blazar>Arc>OmegaNGSand for Mebius, the only thing Zero overshadowed was Mega Monster Battle's movie. That was not a Mebius movie.
>>23920190I definitely recall the Decker to Blazar period had Zero rather quiet. 2022's UGF was Regulos' mini series, and the NGS then had minimal Zero interference
>>23920190There's a difference between "taking front and center" and "only guest starring in one episode or a special"
>>23920234hows that different from Teo's show? You havent even watched it retard. There are at least 2 other shows where he completely takes the spotlight for many episodes and periods of time where he has his own thing going
>>23920234>>23920126>>23919983It's because Zero isn't showing up in Teo beyond maybe one guest appearance, but they threw the toy gimmick to Zero and his movie. So, the marketing has to gize Zero presence since he won't really have any during most of the year.
>>23920190In all fairness to at least X, it also had episodes where Nexus and Max show up for "no fucking reason" and the movie had Man and Tiga because it was an overlapping anniversary year.
>>23920319Sometimes I wonder why X is the one with "tribute episodes" despite Ultraman 50th anniversary isn't until Orb.
>>23920455No particular reason I guess, they had Zero because he's easy and it's actually the first canon televised appearance of Zero, Max and Nexus are just to celebrate their anniversaries like how King-Ohger did Kyoryuger and Boonboomger did ToQger.
>>23919983they need money badly and Zero sells
Zero>is one of the strongest Ultras of all time personally trained by the ones previously considered the strongest >has gained the favor of both King and Noa, basically gods>can travel through time and dimensions effortlessly >can pull new powers out of his ass effortlessly >is respected, praised, and beloved by everyone despite being an arrogant blowhard>steals the show whenever he appears with even seasoned veterans deferring to himHe really is just Sun Wukong
>>23920899too much embellishment.

Any guesses on who is Employee A and Employee B identity? Supposedly they got conflict during filming on August last year, with Employee B calling "Omae/お前" to Employee A.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10822318933Teo's design bits.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10822411685Zero's design bits.
Sodera - Underground Winged kaiju>Earth kaiju that shoots beams of light from its eyes. It can fly.
Doshihagachi - Tentacle kaiju>Earth kaiju with many tentacles. lurks underground, with its tentacles extending above to steal belongings from humans, or to wrap & bind them
>>23921030thats interesting. the director seems to have a lot of input in terms of ultra design this time around
>>23921030Did Goto mention how his femboy womb tattoo fetish influenced Teo's design?
>>23920886>they need moneybut i thought they don't want bandai anymore :p
>>23921028>>23921029>>23921030Did Gotoh make a new Twitter account?
>>23921095Bandai needs them. Otherwise, it'd just be Kamen Rider over saturation, kids will get sick of it, and then Kamen Rider dies.
>>23921046>>23921048good monster designs so far
>>23921034>this is ultramanMore like Gridman
>>23921101BANDAI has Gundam. TsuPro only other revenues are horse racing
>>23921101>Otherwise, it'd just be Kamen Rider over saturation, kids will get sick of it, and then Kamen Rider diesYeah that's not going to happen regardless of what delusions are dancing around in your head
>>23921101It's not like they'd do two Rider series at once. Part of the issue right now is that there's clearly a part of the audience that only cares about Rider and not the other shows.
I know his fighting pose is supposed to be like a peaceful sort of "let's stay calm" gesture but I can't help but see it as "not in the face, not in the face!"
>>23921396"I don't want no trouble"

>>23921595cute Teo and his two dadsinterview link:https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20260626-4455849/
>>23921396"i dont want any trouble"never relax around kaijers
>>23920190>>Geed>are you fucking joking?It’s Geed’s story. Yeah Zero has a little arc with Leito but he doesn’t overshadow Geed. Why wouldn’t he appear in a show about Belial’s son?>ZHe comes back for a single episode and fucks off forever.
>>23921837>little arcare you fucking joking>He comes back for a single episodethe whole premise of the show is that Z is a Zero FANBOY. we spend a good 1/3rd of the show looking at Alpha fucking Edge which is just a zero knock off and the fucking plot literally involves humans building their own fucking Zero. And not even JUST Zero, Z's final form is permanently coupled with ZERO'S NEMESIS AS A FUCKING SWORD. The cherry on top of all this, there is also a whole audio drama where it's JUST Zero and Z as the two characters talking
So will Teo sell better or worse then Omega
>>23921859i'll say better simply because we have a zero movie coming this year
>>23921859How the fuck are we supposed to know? The Jews are the ones with time machines, man.
>>23921227So the most popular fucking thing Japan thinks they created?
>>23921863what the fuck are you talking about?
>>23921859It has a more standard new gen toyline thanks to the Zero stuff, but who knows if a single movie will really be enough to promote it.
>>23921939>He doesn't know
Where is the preview episode
>>23921972Ultraman is over Teo is cancelled.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UszgKMS__vYCountdown message.
>>23921938Gundam, yes.
I genuinely wanna watch this shit
I have zero faith in Teo
>>23922015no, horse racing, foo'.
>>23922263>We didn't invite Hikari on purpose.>The fucking weirdo.
>>23922213Horse racing is so irrelevant that they had to turn them into anime girls to be relevant againUltraman is dirt poor, and need Uma Musume to thrive or next season will be Ginga quality
oh hello
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-mpWgsRrLQbandai toy demo for teo and zero cosmo rise. glad they make figures for teo's color change.
>>23922312I guess it makes sense because Cosmos and Teo are both pacifists. Hikari by comparison is a violent warmonger who keeps making weapons.
>>23922352what if Teo's head shape just look like that
>>23922312>>23922544also Hikari isn't the titular character in the show he debuted from
>>23922649Hikari's also a known asshole. Dude will steal people's lunch, even if they are labeled.
>>23922862he's also a fucking freak. the only ultra known to fuck crystal planets
>>23922263god, the teo suit looks so fucking cheap and baggy
>>23922955All the suit budget went to Zero's new form please understand
>>23922921I'm not in on the joke. Arb Gear?

Seiji Hokuto actor tweeting this, so Tsuburaya internal problem is valid now I guess...
>>23923812>like 20 years agooh shit, that was during Mebius
Another Ultra with same race as Teo
>>23923855>>23923862Ultra人
>>23923855>>23923862So he's going to be a violent, bitter asshole who fights Teo for no reason
>>23923855this guy is already red
>>23923812Shukan Bunshun is the most fearless newspaper in Japan.
>>23923812tabloids are ALWAYS right
>>23923812>>23924152>>23924160>actor whose main gig with the company was over half a century ago somehow has inside inteli dont think i need to say it
>>23924166keep on huffing that copium, boy
>>23924169post beef nigga
>>23924166You need to cope already or you'll just keep getting BTFO over and over again like all the other Bunshun exposé deniers.
Is anyone actually excited for Teo?
>>23924183No only for the Zero movie
>>23924173speak english
>>23923862Hope this doesnt mean teo wont get a proper form change...
>>23924166Kazuo Tsuburaya was retweeting that, so...
>>23923812Well, 15 years plus of broadcasting new series is a good record, all things considered.
>>23924418Bunshun deniers BTFO once again.
Mebius is the next generation Man.Because he did everything right only to get upstaged by a successor who isn’t as thematically interesting
>>23924503thematically, mebius is a showa jerk off
>>23924503I always thought it was interesting that both Z and Mebius take elements from the Early drafts of Nexus Z takes the name "Ultraman Z", Mebius and Hikari were both rejected concept designs from these drafts, which also included a ninja-type Ultra with a covered mouth
>>23924503>who isn’t as thematically interestingbut why both Seven and Zero are more successful?
>>23924545Seven is the Batman. Zero is the Wukong/Goku. Checks out.
>>23923222Yet Zero's suit also looks low effort in the name of anniversary nostalgia. Sue me but I love me some gaudiness
So starting with the 2027 series will we be going back to tons of new forms of the main ultra while going back to barely any new kaiju like it was for Ginga to DEcker?
>>23924604Dunno, but we can assume that the third series after Theo will have major changes since the regime change will start to take effect on next series. There's a chance the next two series will follow on the same path as Teo unless Teo sold really badly
>>23924882what are you talking about third series? the experiments are over. Blazar style shows didnt pay off. they're not doing this shit in sets of 3
>>23924917I was basing off the report of new management, and some said that we won't see the new effects taking place 2-3 years from now. For all we know Teo might kick-start a shit tier phase of no gimmicks because that's what the oldgoodnewbadfags want so bad. I'd be happy to be wrong next year though if they went back to what made NewGen work.
>>23924604If Ultra survives through Teo, fully expect a return to O MY HONORED SENPAI-TACHI nostalgia shit and/or fusions.
>>23924917>>23924882>>23924604Yeah, based on the reports, Tsuburuya wants to double down in this direction. They're still feeling constrained by the toys and this is a transition, so they don't actually want to go to how things were before.If this year sells, I think the only effect is more that you'll see Bandai attempting again a transformation device/collectible that's only advertised by a movie. Tsuburuya's management clear wants that stuff out of the tv shows or even the franchise altogether if they found a way to function without Bandai's sponsorship.
Do you think a story about OG Ultraman’s son would be possible
>>23925156Not happening with their current direction, where they stopped the whole "new Ultra is tied to showa lore" thing.
>>23925159Last time they touched on the Showa era connections was Z, which went past just the original show's connections and was also for whatever reason technically a spin on the same world as Ultra Q.
I just know there's a New Gen Zero emergency case somewhere in that studio
>>23925172I don't understand why they just don't give Zero his own series at this point.
>>23925183I mean, "at this point", they clearly just want to make new completely unrelated Ultraman each year. Even before that, I guess there was always some pride in pushing a new hero, rather than just bringing back an old hero to star in a new show with new forms.
>>23925200Tsuburaya is hemorrhaging money. They're going to go with the safest option when Teo inevitably fails.
>>23925243And where's the proof of that?
>>23924488The people defending TsuPro are essentially requesting that the audits are sent to them personally for confirmation of financial status
Ultra isn't being cancelled anytime soon
>>23925159Yeah but WOULD it be possible?
I'm surprised Tsupro never did a stage show with all their non-Ultraman heroes like Gridman, Redman, WoO, Jumborg Ace, Mirrorman, Izenborg, etc. Those guys have shown up in stage shows except for WoO which is unfortunate because WoO has a great look
I'd scared that Ultra will be cancelled
>>23925243The issue is that they clearly aren't changing their approach due to these results. Their recent financial statements suggest they're blaming their current situation on too many toys and they claim to be able to improve things when they finishing gaining more independence from the toys. I think it's pure insanity, but it is the direction they're setting and clearly will go through for a few years still at least, until it's just financially unsustainable.
>>23924134>UMZ>In Gigabash>With Godzilla in itGodzilla duking it out against Belial is a fun thing to see.
>bunch of stage show organizers get laid off>retards on /m/ scream IT'S THE END OF ULTRAMAN
>>23925402I fucking hate the stupid old men they have in charge
>>23925403>Godzilla duking it out against Belial is a fun thing to see.I don't want to get into a potential thread killer discussion, but what version of Godzilla? Some Gojis are so weak any Ultra can take it down easy while other Gojis need an army of Ultras. What's the best pairing?
>>23925437The Goji in Gigabash seems to be a generic mix of Showa and Heisei.
>>23925437Let's have the Final Wars Goji. That one is sufficiently strong without going Ultima or Earth. Dunno if Shin could be against Belial.
>>23925459I was thinking the same think.
>>23925402did they forget how Ginga had helped them to get their footing again to make tv shows??
>>23925459shin is actually one of the weakest godzilla's dude gets incapacitated by liquid nitrogen. any of the ultras could take him. and i say this as a giant fan of both series
>>23925505gingas toys are literally just sofubi. thats it. theres nothing special about gingas gimmicks. ginga helped revive ultra but its not because of gimmicks or toys, it's because ginga simply showed up and filled a void. its clear armor isnt working but nostalgia does. thats why Z-Decker were so succesful.>>23925243and what do you think this safest option is? mind you Omega still made more money than Orb which was fusions
>>23925590Shin's big advantage is adaptability/rapid evolution. There was that bit about him potentially growing wings and the whole thing at the end.
URTAMUH MUH
>>23925437>Other Gojis need an army of Ultras.Please tell me you don't buy the "Godzilla is able to destroy entire planets" shit
>>23925595>and what do you think this safest option is? mind you Omega still made more money than Orb which was fusionsBecause Orb was coming from lower numbers. the important part there was the consistent year on year growth, to reestablish Ultraman, while in the last 3 years they had one stable year and then 2 declines.
>>23925672>Please tell me you don't buy the "Godzilla is able to destroy entire planets" shitNo, but the fact Godzilla Earth exists means there is at least one Goji that's too much for a single Ultra (probably, it's all imaginary anyway). Final Wars Goji is super fucking tough too, his endurance alone means he can probably outlast several Ultra in a row.
>>23925437>>23925715Earth should fight this guy.
>>23925715Anon Max demolished something that was 3 times Earthgoji's height
Godzillafrens need to understand Godzilla as a whole is conceptually just a regular sort of threat for Ultras. While some might lose, there's always going to be Ultras who would beat them.>But Godzilla Earth!His shield is his only actual major feature and it was shown to be limited in effect against Ghidorah, who was basically just Bullton... a monster even the original Ultraman has killed. His other two big features include the Super Oscillatory Wave... something Gomora can do. And being 300m tall... which is smaller than a random Baltan that was defeated in the same episode it showed up.>B-but Godzilla Ultima!Effectively the same shit as Greeza (A living error in reality), which was beaten by the Ultra equivalents of two teenage boys!
they need to do more interesting toy gimmicks instead of more past ultra fusions. or using past ultra powers. what things they can take from sentai and rider in this regard?
>>23925760300?Try NINE hundred.Godzilla gets a ton of wank from fans
>>23925893>Try NINE hundred.No, 300 is Goji-Earth's height.
>>23925590to be fair any ultra could beat any godzilla, it just comes with the addd bonus of ultras being fucking bullshit asspullers>>23925710you didnt answer the question. what is this "safest option" youre talking about? the highest earners are trigger and decker so that means the safest option is to remake another ultraman or make another shin movie
>>23925753He died tho. His color timer ran out and DASH had to use a shit ton of tech to resurrect him. That's kinda cheating. I don't think Max can take Earthgoji alone.>>23925760OK fine you win haha.
Let's be real, if Toho is letting anyone beat Godzilla, it's Ultraman
>>23925929I wished more Max kaiju appeared in New Gen
>>23925929Oh my god it looks like a penis
>>23926130The only Max kaiju I can really recall appearing in New Gen was the Space Cats showing up in X.
>>23926106Realistically, Godzilla is much more popular than Ultraman nowadays. If a crossover happened, no way they'd let Ultraman come on top of Godzilla.
>>23925919>make another shin movie>he doesn't know
Why are people making a big deal about Teo having a nose?
>>23926516That's a fucking helmet you retard.
>>23926519That's literally part of his head, moron. Astra originally had the same parts on his head until he was brutally tortured by Alien Magma troopers.
>>23926519....Big if true.
>>23926523Was it the whole magma race that destroyed l77 or just the one from the first episode of leo
>>23926608It was a coordinated effort by an entire army of Alien Magmas. The only Magma I can recall who's not in some way evil is exclusive to the arcade card game, Magna.
>>23925760Nah, Godzilla would be on the more difficult side of monsters the Ultras have fought against. Not end of the season monsters like Gatanothor or Zog, but he's tougher than some of the D listers like Neronga, Gandar and Gorbagos.
>>23926505They don't let Godzilla lose against anyone in crossovers
>>23926661Bro? He's lost to a few Marvel characters, almost died to the Megazord, got his ass kicked in Fortnite.
>>23926667Minus One set a new standard for characterization, previously the "Godzilla Room" aimed for a depiction which was homogeneous across all IPs, now they're realizing each one can be treated as standalone
>>23926668Yeah that's cool, but the 'Almost getting killed by the Megazord' was like, three years before Minus One.
>>23926516Couldn't tell you.
>>23926695I love 80's designs
>>23926695With 80 they wanted a face that was more humanlike Helps that it's also similar to the designs from the old mangas
So how long until the only toku left is Rider
>>23926778sentai got snuffed out this year and rider sales arent making enough to support production that keeps introducing new riders and new forms evry 4 episodes. higher chance rider get snuffed before the next gridman anime
>>23926778Rider's on the chopping block, what are you talking about?
>>23926971So is Ultra. Soon the only thing that will be left is porn parodies.
>>23926976Ultra's actually doing well, for a company not backed by anime productions.
>>23926828They need to stop doing that
>>23926667And Ultraman would literally just treat Goji as another MoTW. Probably why Toho hasn't allowed a proper crossover aside from the Shin toy commercial
>>23926993Yes, and Imamori will be the heroine next year. We heard you, anon
>>23927005What the fuck are you talking about? Toei's main form of income is fucking anime these days.
>>23926971>Rider's on the chopping blockWhere precisely are you getting this info from?
>>23927008Toei Animation and Toei Studio share the same umbrella but they don't necessarily share the same fund
>>23927010oh, only you can make up facts that ultraman is ending, but if someone else says kamen rider's dying, you get upset? wiiiiild
>>23927014I have not taken part in the conversion up to this point, I'm just asking for some sauce
>>23927014Neutral observer here, this guy's losing hard.
>>23927038>>23927023Third party observer here, Kamen Rider's dying. Cope.
>>23926694>AlmostSo it...didn't happen
>>23927041He lost, and retreated, with a fatal injury. But OK, keep going with the 'DER GODZILLER MANDATE'
>>23927045Mmmm...no. The canon already agrees with me.
>godziller can't losh crossover fights>loses to king kong in his second movielol lmao
>>23927055Post kong resisting atomic breath NOW
>>23927023Toei just slashed their film production by half. Rider not only has to compete with sentai/project red, but they also compete with the rest of Toei's productions
>>23927068post godzilla winning in the first godzilla and kong crossover.
>>23927055>>23927068>>23927110Fuck off back to /co/ you fat Indian teenagers
What the fuck is happening
>>23927347THE KRUSTY KRAB WAS ROBBED BY PLANKTON
>>23927089Guess it's time to enter the era of tokusatsu anime after all
>>23927371tsuburaya is ahead of that. thats why SSSS gridman exists but certain types of mechafags seem to think it's a show for them instead
Why doesn't tsuburaya do more anime related projects?
>>23927446Because anime also eats money.
>>23927446really looks like they had xenoblade people designed this
>>23927446Now that you mention it, the latest Gridman anime project was like 3 years ago right?
>>23927471omegahorn?
>>23927467Universe celebrated it's 3rd anniversary just this last April, yes
>>23926828>rider sales arent making enough to support production that keeps introducing new riders and new forms evry 4 episodes. higher chance rider get snuffed before the next gridman animeHoly fucking retard.
>powerscaling UltramanI seriously hope you retards are not doing that.
>>23927478im just telling you now before toei cuts the entire thing. they'd probably rather being focusing on one piece
>>23926828>>23927523They've already heavily cut down on the monster suits (like most monsters are just the same base suit with different accessories, even in two parters, while previous two parter monsters were mostly unique, while one episode monsters were the recycled ones), and in the last two shows even reused Rider suits within the show (Bake and Dark Gavv in Gavv, all male knight/lords in Zeztz).You also have them just making cheap stunt suits for side-forms, no premium suits for them anymore. You're overestimating how much they're spending on Rider. In spite of making multiple times more money than Sentai, it really wasn't getting multiple times the resources.

Who did "gritty Ultraman" better?
>>23927583Nexus by a long shot. Seven X's tone was all over the place and it being an Ultra show felt like an afterthought. Nexus may have gone out of its way to subvert or play with established Ultra series elements, but it stayed consistent even if it did lighten up and try to pivot back to status quo somewhat in the second half.
>>23927571sounds to me like already scaling back and doing it in an extreme manner
>>23927583none of those. its seven heisei
Scheduled for release on YouTube in Summer 2026
I have no idea why, but Eldeghimera is the one Kaiju I'd say I 100% hate.Something about it just makes me want to see it die in the most horrible way possible
>>23927975https://youtu.be/CbZWXPaiM0s?t=54I just feel this whenever I fucking see that thing
>>23927471I like Pucchi's design. Its very Cosmos
>>23927632is heisei seven really that good?
>>23927471Wait did they butcher the Max Pigmon to make Pucchi?
>>23928150It's good but it's not THAT good
>>23928150It's basically UltraSeven as a slower one hour drama aimed at adults. If that sounds appealing you'll probably enjoy it, if you're bothered by lack of action, probably not.
>>23927500Ultraman is fraudulent anyway.His greatest feat is destroying planet sized "universes".
>>23927500Could've ended with just "powerscaling" and your point would still stand
>>23920190>That was not a Mebius movie.I'd say it was, actually. The movie had a lot of different parts but Mirai felt like the biggest part of it and I actually disagree that he was overshadowed by Zero in it. Zero didn't really do much at the movie, he just showed up at the end to be one of the many participants in the final battle while Mirai was present throughout, and the movie itself was ultimately more of a followup to one of the Mebius sidestories than it was anything else
>>23928150the early specials are pretty boring. the 30th memorial and final chapters are good. the evolution series is...okay.
mebius is simply our guide since he was the last ultra. he shows us the revamped world of ultra. really, the story is about rei and the introduction of zero
>>23928281what
>>23928379NTA but >>23928281 is a reply to this >>23928271
Why IS Zero so popular?Everyone is more interesting than him
>>23927583Ultraseven X's design is so goofy. His face looks like a constipated Asian baby or something.
>>23928271Sadly every marketing lean toward Zero and Belial.Heck, based on the movie title it should've been Ultra Galaxy movie as in the ZAP Spacy crew.
Come get your Cucky Toku spamming faggot out of our Death Battle Thread, he's Malasian and has lost his mind.
>>23928501Shouldn't have tried multiple failed raids if you didn't wanna pick up our autists, jeet.
>>23927583Nexus, this isn't even a question.
>>23928510Come get them out of the thread, you fucking faggot. He keeps posting about Cucky Ultraman.
>>23928518Post beef first and I'll consider it.
>>23928519Ahmad, come get your Malasian little buddy, he thinks he's white and won't leave us alone.
>>23928521Come get your fucking autist. I posted beef in the Death Battle Thread.
Teo is handsome, looking forward to his show!
>>23928526You posted a picture of beef from google. You're such a fucking tourist you don't even remember the origin of "Post beef." Try actually eating some you disingenuous little street-shitter.
Get out of our thread you Malaysian faggots. I regret coming in to ask for help.
I'm hoping the writing is good for teo, because I've been feeling a little disappointed by the past couple ultra series.
>>23928564What the fuck do you think anyone here is capable of? Am I supposed to go to that thread and post "stop that"? You realize any form of attention just encourages that scum, right?
Another effortless WIN for KINGtos.
>>23927583OG Seven, Returnman and Leo
>>23928501shut up rajest. we do not care. you deserve it actually
>>23928574Listen here, Ahmad, go fetch your little Malaysian friend from /co/ and keep him here.
>>23928614How am I supposed to do that? Grab him?
opinionated bitchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JapM-so3Y20
Hey guys, I have been out of the loop lately so here's two question for a catch up?1. What is going on with Tsuburaya? I see people freaking out about a new leader and he'll destroy the company...?2. I heard Teo is a Pacifist and trying spare monsters. Is that true? I kind of want it to be because I really like Cosmos.
It ain't a pajeet it's a fucking Rohingya
>>23928822okay poojesh
>>239287091. some tabloid shit2. kinda
>>23928709It's part that he's a pacifist and part that he is not a fighter whatsoever, so he has to learn his powers and get better as he goes.
>>23928709It’s more that Teo isn’t a fighter
>>23928709Tsupro is in a lot of financial trouble right now. Basically the next few Ultraman series need to be hits.
>>23929259So...another day ending in Y for them?
>>23928845>some tabloid shitHow much longer will you keep lying to yourself?
>>23928391Because he is the strongest hero in the middle of these epic Land of Light lore stories and people loved that.
>>23929343Again, this ain't the first rodeo, bro.>1976 Oil Crisis>1981 Toku boredom>2007 ACTUAL Bankrupcy>"Dis is it. Dis is da one. They laid off some suit actors from the themeparks, dey doomed dis time!"-You>B-B-But They aren't getting Hideki AnnoAnno doesn't do sequels to his Shin movies. There's no Shin Godzilla 2. There's no Shin Kamen Rider V3.
So this is where Ultrafags get their powers from...
>>23929365T_HA1>>23929367B_FR4_PW2We got a Pajeet Leak. Post steak and beef.
>>23929361they didn't just lay off theme park workers you retardThey laid off a TON OF STAFF WHO WORK ON THE SHOWSThis could be the big one
>>23929386Oh no. It's not like that happened before...During the oil crisisThe 80's hiatus.The actual bankrupcy in 2007...What ever will we doooo... Oh nooooo....
>>23928391Not really? Like that was the big fundamental of Geed as a show, they did absolutely nothing with the titular Ultra and his supposed connection to Belial and Zero ended up stealing every scene he was inAnd that's Geed. Like, if Geed can't hack it as an interesting character next to Zero, Ultras like Rosso or Taiga or even Z don't even begin to compare
>>23929361>Anno doesn't do sequels to his Shin movies.I mean he specifically wrote pitches for the sequels.
>>23929406And then gave up on them. As he's prone to do.
>>23929408>And then gave up on them.[citation needed]
>>23929410Bro it's been ten years, and Toho confirmed there's no Shin Godzilla 2 coming.
>>23929411That's not a citation, that's citing a behavior with a completely different production company. That's as valid as me pointing out Anno worked on a fucking Shin Kamen Rider sequel complete with new footage and a redesign of the 1+2 suit.
>>23929417So...Where is Shin Ultraman and Shin Godzilla two then?
>>23929424>Where is Shin UltramanShin Ultraseven. We know there's three movie projects unrelated to the currently announced ones that are coming in the next few years, per FIELDS' report.>And Shin GodzillaIdk, ask Toho. They're a different company with different priorities.Also, it hasn't been ten years since Shin Ultraman. It's barely been four.
>>23929389well you already explained it happened before many times, doesn't mean it can't happen again
>>23929386>This could be the big onewouldnt you like that, rajesh?>>23929406he didnt write anything. the only thing we know is that TsuPro approached him with 3 projects. one is shinman. one is a shin ultraseven as a tv show and another one is shin RoU. Nothing but shinman was set in stone
I really want the Teo OST, because that theme is sick
>>23928391>Why IS Zero so popular?China. He and Ultimate Force Zero are analogous to Sun Wukong/Journey to the West.
Hopes for Teo tomorrow?
>>23929541Pucchi drops a donut (d'ooooh)
Official trailer for Zero and Belial in GigaBash:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lORcY8Hxyk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub0dQpXAoZEThe final countdown.
>Read some rumorsSomeone help Teo, this boy's gonna get his ass whoopedSomeone said we might get Five King, Greeza, and Hyper Zetton vs Teo 1v3
>>23929470well it's Kenji Kawai as one of the composers
>>23929733https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVN0YIf1_DQI know this is a shitty rip but I like this song a lothttps://youtu.be/O_qzmQ7LH5g?t=63The choir is good shit
>>23929541It doesn't have some gimmick that gets dropped in later episodes
>>23929740yeah this is pretty good. definitely in the top half of Ultra themes.
>>23929740It's the same WHOA-OH-OH-WHOA-OH shit as Arc's OST. Boring and generic as fuck.
What if, since the whole tagline of the show is "Become Ultraman," they might hold off on giving him a proper ride scene until the end.
>>23929869So the Build Fighters composer returning too?
>>23929937Retard
Getting sick of all the giant animal plots in Ultra Q (episode 12 being especially bad for it). Does it ever get better?
>>23929993...Yes-ish? IDK
>>23929729what??
Ultrasura...
>>23929729proof whereBecause last I heard the Greeza suit was retired
>>23930201Oh but they HAVE to keep the 15 year old Gomora suit
>>23930211yeah. I dunno how the Greeza suit was retired after only 5 years but Gomora and Eleking live forever
Teo tonight!
>>23930211Or the 20 year old Eleking suit.
>>2393023020 year old eleking suit was justa myth
>>23930228And it's never for anything good. Last time we saw Gomora he got jobbed out by the worst final monster of all time.
>>23930258Zomera was so fucking lame
>>23930258worse then Tiga's final monster?
>>23930296Gatanothor was cool and had a lot of buildup.>>23930261It should've just been Gairyuga, but no they HAD to shoehorn fucking Eldeghimera.I hope they bring back the latter just so they can humiliate him repeatedly.
>>23930229This morning, westerner
>>23930296Gatanothor was a badass monster, legit scary.
FECAL FUNNY
We're those ultras that jobbed to a single laser?
>>23930381Yes, it was us. Also, could be a planet of pacifist Ultras. Wouldn't be the first.
Dirt on the camera is such a good touch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OLI-B_R4ZwHow was Teo's premiere?
>>23930400I liked it, but be prepared for an onslaught of 'ULTRAMAN IS SO DOOMED NOW' 'CANCELED' shitposts.
>>23930400CGI is kinda rough but it didn't shit bed overall. I feel like they jammed a lot of stuff in the premier but I can't put my finger on why I feel that way.
Really impressive first episode. Strong intro, aerial battle in the first episode, and an ending segment too? they really pulled out all the stops
the ending credits is such a vibe! a showa throwback i suppose?
>>23930411that's exactly what i thought!
>>23930400Music was pretty good
its hard to see but the other blue ultras have unique designs. I fully expected them to just use teo the same way omega did for the rest of his people
>>23930400This is good shit
>>23930400The theme playing when teo was doing his beam reminded me of kinnikumans theme: https://youtu.be/yt3vHXJ1FDE
>>23930400I liked it. I like Teo. Supporting cast looks interesting so I'm looking forward to that fleshed out next week. Same for the bad guys. I didn't pay much attention to previews so I don't know what to expect from the color changes but I liked that it was him charging up. And I'm really hoping for more unique visual stuff like when Teo was isolated in the cafeteria.
>>23930421>>23930421Blue one on the far left looks like Ultraman Kiyotaka. Wonder if they're digitizing old Ultra suits for reusage in CG sequences.
>>23930426>They're blue for an AMAZING reason.
laughed my ass off when the monster just started spinning AND slowmo'd before exploding
I also like the detail of him having a billion flash cards just so he can learn how to be an earthling. in that regard, ibuki is just like kaminaga who also goes out of his way to learn everything (as well being a weirdo)
>>23930441That and the part at the end with the conference really gives off strong Shin Ultraman vibes
>>23930410Yeah the end credits are great. Overall a super first episode, really looking forward to the next one.
i really hope that red ultra comes back. would be a waste of suit and budget if it doesn't. and praying teo gets a proper form change.maybe it has to do with switching around his crystar?
>>23930400Pretty good overall, though the fight was kinda weak
bad ultraman bad
So what the fuck is his problem
>>23930491>Gay earring
>>23930454>>23930491It's kind of telling that he was the only red Ultra of all the ones we saw. They very specifically focused on him though, which means he's almost certainly coming back.
>>23930491>>23930496It feels like he was supposed to be the "hero" of Teo's planet but presumed dead for now.
>>23930491Does this guy have a black neck?
>>23930491He looks entirely CG.
>we come in peace
>>23930514Biblically accurate Man-san?
>>23930491He's not evil. He's their commander. You can see him lead the team in the opening but it's hard to see since everything is blurry>>23930496I wonder if he's the original owner of the teo crystar considering teo picked it up and doesn't seem to be something that was already attached to him. It might be the reason why teo was able to overpower the single kaiju. He seems to be only one explicitly shown to have a crystar apart from teo, or maybe the crystar is just a run of the mill weapon
>>23930524Calling it, the commander will turn out to be alive and going to Earth to retrieve his Crystar by also disguising as a human, but seeing Teo's determination he decided to leave it to Teo.
>>23930527The way that organization was phrasing things, I think the red guy ended up landing in the Americas and is either captured or fighting over there.Teo was just somehow late to the party
>>23930491so he's like the Zoffy of Teo
>>23930524A Crystar seems to be a normal thing for an H12 Ultra to have
>>23930434I thought for a second he was counter attacking by spinning, I didn't realize that was the rest of him getting fucked up.
>>23930507nice aislop, death battle pajeet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDduiYBkhJ4now why didn't they just let the ultra uses the toys from the beginning instead of using the whole space mind thing in the first place? doesn't look off at all.
>>23930400Still not a big fan of Theo's head design, but the episode was pretty good. I like the PTSD/trauma thing going on. The battle with Viaroga was cool. The farming lesson thing was kind of whatever. I honestly just skipped through it. The Illuminati was a neat hook. The mascot kaiju at the end looks retarded, but it'll probably do its cutesy fun shenanigans thing while it and Ibuki bond over their shared trauma and overcome it. So I guess that should be good.It was good shit, for the most part.
>>23930400Just a good episode of Ultraman, looking forward to the show.
>>23930563I think it's because in here, Zero only need to hold the Eye. Meanwhile every previous New Gen Ultras got trinket separated from the transformation item, maybe the gloves of Ultra suits have a material that kinda hard to hold small trinkets compared to Rider and Sentai.
>>23930590>The mascot kaiju at the end looks retardedYeah, but this design... it's clearly something that is connected to the space pod, and wasn't it a space pod that launched kaiju that destroyed H12? Ans stupid as the thing looks I'm interested in seeing where the go with it.
>>23930407I hope they don't overdo it with the SoL bits, considering how interesting the illuminati and H12 history parts are.
>>23930543so it can be said that the beam doesnt melt the kaiju or vaporize the kaiju, it makes the kaiju spin until it explodes lol
>>23930653I have a theory:Pucchi is the main villain
So the special cosmo rise movie is completely separate from the zero movie right?
So that's why they cast Rila Fukushima. I was expecting /ourguy/ Tom to be one of the agents. Also, that is immediately my favorite ED in a long while. >>23930671Yeah I'm confused by this as well. Hell everything about Zero new project confuses me since some said that he'll get another form for the movie.
>>23930671Yes, the trailer posted today is for the Youtube special this August.
>>23930400I’ve seen Shin Ultraman, but this is my first Ultraman series, so there may be some tropes and moments that have been used in other versions, but most are completely alien to me. I enjoyed the scenes that focused on Teo’s feelings of isolation when surrounded by the other, more adequate, students at the school. As an autist, I could relate.
>>23930727dont worry, teo is going for a more modern style of ultraman that I'd say started around 10 years ago so it doesn't really have any of the older tropes before that like say an attack team or defense force. what you'll see is probably something you probably already see from anime, drama, or other hero media. though i'll let you in on one trope that seems to be specific to the ultra series, doesn't really have a name but I like to call it the "reset Earth" trope and it's where an ultra arrives on Earth in his own show but is seemingly the first one to do so but will eventually meet other ultras who have also landed on earth before in their own shows but earthlings never acknowledge it. it's a funny thing
Do we know how long Teo has been on Earth? You'd think if he's been here long enough to be a third year university student, he wouldn't need a million little flashcards with "how to be Normal Human Man" notes on them.
>>23930400I liked it. It seems that they went back to the M78 lore of red Ultras being warriors and blue Ultras being researchers/civilians, Teo definitely feels like a civilian that got his hand on some final weapon that couldn't be deployed in time.
Zero Cosmo Rise looks really cool, but the way he does the Decade Complete summoning thing feels kinda weird.
>>23930821Pulling off his finisher beam clearly looked difficult and borderline painful for him, so he's definitely not used to throwing all that energy around. I'm hoping we get some more flashbacks to see what happened to cause him to end up on Earth.
>>23930821>they went back to the M78 lore of red Ultras being warriors and blue Ultras being researchers/civilians,Maybe they went back to the lore of color timers only being given to Ultras sent out on missions as well?It looks like Teo picked up a color timer.
https://x.com/TakaoKonishi/status/2073223587524440167Just knew one of the singer of Teo ED is Mitsuko Horie.
I guess the woman absolutian is just never going to happen then
>>23930862>woman absolutianThere never was one.
>>23930867Not anymore...
>>23930773he "transferred" in. emma mentioned it. he could be there for a couple weeks or month
>>23930842>difficult and borderline painful for himYeah this was an awesome detail, especially since he couldn't control the beam at first. It makes me wonder did he know what to do because he saw someone using a beam before or is there some kind of Ultra intuition at play?
>>23930773He transferred - so he likely hasn't been on Earth too long. Just enough to pick up on basic things like riding a bike.
>>23929729>civilian-level blue Ultra>vs THREE final boss tier monsters simultaneouslyIt would be the biggest slaughter of all time.
>>23930862We haven't even seen the Absolutian Lord yet either.
>>23930918Its probably intuitive?If he had seen someone fire off a beam he'd at least be able to brace somewhat for the recoil but he had to figure out the recoil at the time he fires the beam.
After 60 years, Teo is the first Ultraman to acknowledge things do be shitting.
https://x.com/NEXTNEVER1/status/2073334373924180466?s=20
>>23930951I mean his first fight was against something that takes down experienced Ultra warriors
>the first thing Teo does in his debut is pick up cowshitWell.. that's certainly a start
>>23931022A shart.
>>23930990giant woman
What are reactions to Teo in Japan and China so far?
>>23931042It's not Zero so China doesn't give a shit
>>23930990Happy for him
>>23930889>>23930946There has to be some human buddy/helper, right? Ibuki can't have just "transferred" in without some help. Like, there is a ton of shit to falsify to get into college.I could see there being some good Samaritan who gave him his human name, and helped him join college. The Kents to his Kal El, if you will. But just without the years of being a family.
>>23931042Youtube comments seem pretty positive, so thats something.
so what happens when zero cosmo rise uses.... zero? does he just turn cosmo rise off? does a second zero get summoned?
>>23931116He turns into Ultraman 00
why is he called ultraman zero and not ultrazero
>>23931042Kinda split in China. Bilibili is full of complainers and doomsayers (as usual) while Rednote is full of hopefuls and presently surprised
>>23931120there is a prefect reaction gif for this brilliant question but I don't know what it is.
>>23931120Because he's more of a MAN than his rickety old dad.
>>23931225its so weird how Seven/Dan's charcicterization nowadays is that of a semi hardass, like a heavily toned down version of what he was in Leo, instead of the beloved cowboy cop that he was in his own show. I find it odd because it seems like Dan being a total asshole in Leo was one of the reasons the show failed, viewers, espicially children, hated how downright cruel he was.
>>23931252All of the Showa Ultras nowadays are characterized as grizzled old vets, even ones that were characterized as young hotshots back in the day like Leo and Taro. It's a consequence of their VAs being very old now, but it also flies in the face of Ultras living for tens of thousands of years.
https://youtu.be/0OXhhvr4-F4?t=215My favorite dogfight in the franchise
Art by the designer of the first episode's kaiju
>>23931324Hyakutake's getting around now, huh?
So Seven has his unique features because he was originally supposed to be a completely different creature from Man-san?
>>23931558Yep, then got grandfathered into the Ultraseries. Hell, Eyeslugger is left over from a caveman comedy show Tsuburaya pitched.
>>23931336He's been working on Ultraman for a few years now wdym?
Crazy how relevant this is even today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzm-4Tg-88
>>23931106i'll just chalk it up to him showing up and lying about it. i suspect he's not even in the uni's system, i would even be surprised if down the road, the club members investigate him after he disappears and finds out he's a total ghost and has no government record
I'm fairly certain that Teo's crystar belongs to the red guy. it seems like the others have only simple colour timers.
>>23931903More like we're being driven insane by each other
>>23931252Seven already had that characterization in Taro for some reason.>>23931280I mean, that's why there's this huge timeskip in the Showa timeline. We don't know how big it is, but Mega Monster Battle took place 50 years after all kaiju had gone extinct on Earth and humanity had began to spread around space, and then this led eventually to the Ultra Galaxy Legends movie and that's the base line for the modern M78 timeline.
Name Ultras who deserve Zero's position. Ginga and Mebius, imo.
>>23931926Could be that, yeah. That also makes sense.
>>23932071Position of popular boy? Mebius
>>23932056Eh, Seven was a LITTLE more stern in Taro, but not by much. Heck, when Zoffy refuses to let them help Taro he's heavily against it. Leo!Dan would have just let Taro die.
>>23931324His having flat humanlike incisors at the front actually makes it scarier than if it just has sharp teeth all around. It's quite an interesting design choice.
>>23932171Reminds me of the Iron Lung concept art
>>23932071In the term of toyetic legacy powers? Ginga. in the term of personal favorite? Mebius.
>>23932056Makes me think whether they will never ever do another story set in the m78 earth anymore. Or is there a possibility? hasn't it been 1000 years during Taiga's time or did I get that wrong?
>>23932071Hell Ginga was briefly the face of New Generation Heroes before they decided to retcon and make Zero the first one.
>>23925402>they're blaming their current situation on too many toys and they claim to be able to improve things when they finishing gaining more independence from the toysdo they think they can force the market to revert back to what it was 60 years ago?
>>23932056Plus Mebius acted like GUYS have long passed away after first hinting it in Taiga's voice drama.
You know, seeing as how Sorato is a glutton and even Ibuki is eating, it spergs me when Z doesn't know the concept of eating. I mean pretty sure Dan, Gen and Mirai eats too right?
>>23932509Yeesh
>>23932162Seven was one of the Ultras in favor of letting Taro fight by himself, only regrets it when Taro seemingly dies. It's Jack and Ace who argue to help Taro from the start.>>23932302They could always do time travel to throw some Ultra into the past of the M78's universe Earth if they don't want to handle a far future Earth.
>>23932510>DanAdopts a human body>GenAdopts a human body>MiraiAdopts a human body>SoratoAdopts a human body>IbukiAdopts a human body>ZIs just sitting in Haruki's body, and Haruki is the one who does any eatingAre you noticing a trend?
Kinda surprised they never gave Belial a rise sequence
>>23932595Well yeah, but even Ultras would be familiar of their human forms eat right? Hell Ultras used to be human, but it makes sense for people like Taiga and Z to not know of their human origins.
>>23930400>le alien balls and laserits alright backstory setting
>>23932565nah, he regrets it before taro seemingly dies. He realizes things have gone too far and begs Zoffy to let him help Taro. You're thinking of Zoffy.
>>23932472>Zero leads the Heisei Ultras!>New Generation becomes popular>Zero leads the New Generation Ultras!
>>23932690It feels like it's gonna happen with the post-Z Ultras as well.
>>23932656Well Z is implied to be not native to M87 and he might just be an entirely different species of ultra. it could be that his species of ultra just doesnt eat
>>23932803In the end, it's easier to bring him back because Zero is always represented by the voice actor despite having human hosts at some point. Even when the later series like Z having Ultra & host relationship, just bringing back the voice actor doesn't feel the same.
>>23933091He's outright said to be from M78, just not from the Land of Light.
Is Tsuburaya Imagination kill? I've only just noticed that they stopped shilling it in the ad breaks.
>>23933205I mean M78 is like 5 lightyears long
>>23933218Yeah and we already know being in M78's going to turn you into an Ultra. L77 is in M78.
>>23933220I know but the question is what planet.NGL that entire idea is funny>Be me>Be guy on opposite end of M78>Plasma Spark ignites>Get turned into Ultra for no reason>Becomes a major theological conflict on my planet
>>23933224The USA trio are from altara
>>23933271Also in M78.
>>23933205M78 as in his home, not his species origin. No one else from the Land of Light as black markings and sparkling eyes
What even is there to look forward to with Teo when theres no form changes
>>23933298No, the LoL is his home, but M78 is his POO
>zero getting two more forms for his movieagh..... they better give one to Teo for God's sake. And they say omega and arc wasn't receive as well as they hoped but not sure what's the reason.
>>23933340i thought he was getting 2 forms total, one being cosmorise and the other being movie
>>23933304A good story and creative fight scenes?
>>23933304He definitely still gets an ultimate form and Cosmorise Zero guest starring
>>23933389Someone hacked Ultrise Eye and getting two names which are probably Zero's new forms; Axis Zero and I forgot what's the other one.
>>23933298>No one else from the Land of Light as black markings and sparkling eyesYeah. He's not from the Land of Light. He's still an Ultra from M78.
So the red Ultra is going to come back, take his crystal back, and proceed to brutally style on a kaiju showing just how out of his element Teo actually is, but Teo ultimately wins the day by showing kindness and compassion to the motw, which convinces red guy that maybe he was the one in the wrong and gives the crystal back with his blessing?
I hope Ibuki/Teo grows out of his idiot alien phase. I feel like we've had too much of that in ultraman
New Converge releasing in December.https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2026/4570117932595000.html
>>23933800why collect converge when there's blokees defender
Any news on how Teo merch has been selling?
>>23933775Well what's unique about it this time is that it seems like Ibuki doesn't even really know how to use his Ultraman powers either. The man is completely in over his head in all aspects of his life. I'm hoping this leads to some really tense fight scenes where he's struggling with everything he has to survive
>>23933964I think that's part of why people are speculating that the Teo Crystar doesn't actually belong to him. Just using it a couple of times made his color timer flash and the finisher beam drained him completely, plus he was really struggling just to handle the energy.
>>23933811it'll take waves before they reach teo bro. they dont even have the last 3 ultras in the last set. it was just a Z box
>>23933811I personally like Converges because they're small and fairly easy to collect and display when you're strapped for space. The only downside is that they're difficult to get individually at decent prices because they're candy toys sold in waves.
>>23933826Ultra Rise Eye sold out.https://x.com/chaserjokertoy2/status/2073710764356227301
