Shin Ultraman	comment	Shin Ultraman (Japanese: ã‚·ãƒ³ãƒ»ã‚¦ãƒ«ãƒˆãƒ©ãƒžãƒ³) is an Ultra Series Tokusatsu film serving as the reimagination of the 1966 television series, Ultraman, created by Eiji Tsuburaya. In addition to Tsuburaya Productions, Toho and Studio Khara are also joint collaborators, with Toho being the prominent distributor. The film was made by the same people behind Shin Godzilla, as Shinji Higuchi served as director, Hideaki Anno as writer and producer, and Shirogumi on VFX.In order to defend the country from "S-Class Species" attacks, the Japanese government establish the S-Class Species Supression Protocol (SSSP) team. However, despite early success, the SSSP and the military struggle to defeat later monster attacks. Fortunately, a gigantic humanoid extraterrestrial suddenly appears from the sky and defeats the monster by himself. The arrival of this mysterious extraterrestrial beyond human understanding, whom the SSSP dubbed "Ultraman", becomes an international news sensation and causes confusion and curiosity within the government. As part of the investigation on Ultraman, SSSP welcomes a new analyst Hiroko Asami to the team, where she is partnered with team strategist Shinji Kaminaga, who hides his secret connection with Ultraman. Meanwhile, Ultraman must deal with other extraterrestrials who are more adept at talking with the government and don't share Ultraman's desire to protect humanity.The film was released in Japanese cinemas on May 13, 2022. The film was also set for a two-night engagement in United States theaters on January 11-12, 2023; and is set for a DVD and Blu-Ray release in the US by Cleopatra Entertainment. The English dub for the film was handled by Okratron 5000. Production of the film was planned since 2019, while the titular hero's Shin design was unveiled in December 14, 2019. The official Japanese site is available here.Tsuburaya also released Shin Ultra Fight, a series of short films. Similar to the Ultra Fight miniserieses, these videos depict Ultraman's battles from Shin Ultraman, as well as original versions of said fights, with a commentary track. Director Higuchi serves as supervisor for this miniseries.A few months before release, it was announced that this film, along with Shin Godzilla, Rebuild of Evangelion and Shin Kamen Rider, would form what has been referred to in promotional materials as the Shin Japan Heroes Universe, a loosely-connected series tied together by the involvement of Hideaki Anno. Though it's unclear what form this will take, all four involved companies have promised that there will be more to come.For another reimagining of Ultraman, see Ultraman: The Next and its connected series Ultraman Nexus.

Shin Ultraman / int_112890b3	comment	Secret Identity: The film explores what happens when Ultraman's civilian identity is exposed to the public, something that isn't delved into much in prior Ultraman series. After videos of Shinji Kaminaga transforming into Ultraman go live on the Internet, Kaminaga, after stopping Zarab, goes into hiding, with the SSSP being more understanding of his not coming to work. Various government agencies both national and international start searching for him, forcing Kaminaga and the SSSP to meet in out-of-the-way locations. When the government finally does confront him, they try to intimidate him into cooperating, saying that the SSSP's safety depends on his response.

Shin Ultraman / int_1161fb48	type	Bizarre Alien Biology
Shin Ultraman / int_1161fb48	comment	Bizarre Alien Biology: Thanks to the use of CGI, the alien-ness of Ultraman and the enemies he fights in this film are emphasized in ways that tokusatsu suits could not. Gabora possesses head petals and internal drill-like organs that can freely rotate 360 degrees without any noticeable discomfort or pain. Kaigel the snail Kaiju also possesses more conventional drill-like appendages in its shell that it uses for burrowing. Zarab's true form appears to have the back of his body completely missing, revealing an empty carapace devoid of any visible organs or skeleton to speak of. Like always, Mefilas has a yellow-speaking organ instead of a mouth. It glows when the alien speaks and it almost seems like an artificial, electrical addition to the body. He can also able to open half of his palms at will. He also possesses a single visor-like eye, rather than two more ordinary eyes.

In addition to being a homage towards the original Zetton's signature pose of standing with its arms outstretched, this film's incarnation of Zetton orbits Earth with its "legs" together, giving it the silhouette of a cross.

He first spins himself in a floating wheel kick to knock Gabora away from a nuclear storage facility. Later, against Zetton, he spins himself around to deflect the projectile barrage against him, then later spins in a corkscrew fashion as part of his final rising sequence attack to reach Zetton before it can fire its projectile.

Shin Ultraman / int_18150c85	type	Democracy Is Flawed
Shin Ultraman / int_18150c85	comment	Democracy Is Flawed: A bit downplayed compared to Shin Godzilla, but still there. The highest officials of the Japanese government are still easily swayed/fooled by smart/manipulative aliens (such as Zarab and Mefilas), who pose as aliens wishing to share technology and demonize Ultraman as seeking to conquer Earth (when that's exactly what they're doing). The Japanese public, in a critique of the contemporary disinformation environment, are also shown to be unable to distinguish beyond what's being posted online and what's really happening—be it the identity of Ultraman or why exactly a woman grew to be a giant. This is later played for Dramatic Irony—because of so many crazy things happening in the past days, they've grown desensitized to Zetton's appearance in the sky, when it finally poses a very real danger to Earth. At the same time, it portrays the bureaucracy and the military as having taken a level in competence since the events of Shin Godzillaâ€”with the SSSP, despite its limited resources, never experiencing too much bureaucratic interference/clashing with other government offices. The higher-up politicians, of course, are a different matter.

He claims to Mefilas that Shinji's will compels him to stop the Extraterrestrial's plot. Later, when ZÅ�ffy confronts Ultraman-as-Shinji in the forest, Ultraman explains what the human Kaminaga had done when he had first landed, saying that "I wish to understand him [Shinji]." Among a few of Zarab's claims, he explains that his job is to eradicate the dominant species of a planet that has a "marker" discovered on it. It's not known who placed the marker on Earth, as the only possible culprit is Mefilas, whose goals would contradict with Zarab's. What happened to Ultraman at the end of the movie. Since Zoffy apparently honored his request to leave both his life and his body to Kaminaga, it's unclear if he was Killed Off for Real or if he can still be revived.

As it turns out, smell is the only sensory aspect that Mefilas failed to account for when hiding his Beta Box. Having been previously affected by it when Mefilas turned her into a giant, Asami's scent is memorized by Kaminaga to pinpoint the box's location and steal it.

Shin Ultraman / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Shin Ultraman / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The film's tagline, "Have you become so fond of humans, Ultraman?", is a line from the finale of the original Ultraman spoken by Zoffy when Ultraman asked to sacrifice his own life in exchange for Hayata to live. Zoffy himself says the line in the film proper when Ultraman asks to sacrifice his life in exchange for Shinji's, as a remark that Ripia has changed during his time on Earth. The film opens with a screenful of swirling paint that reconstitutes to form the Shin Godzilla title card, before immediately turning into Shin Ultraman. This is much like the original show's own intro, which was footage of a screenful of swirling paint being played in reverse to reveal the Ultra Q logo, before a flash of red turns that into the Ultraman title card. The card even includes the subtitle "Fantasy Tokusatsu Film" (ç©ºæƒ³ç‰¹æ’®æ˜ ç”» kuusou tokusatsu eiga), similar to the original series' "Fantasy Tokusatsu Series" (ç©ºæƒ³ç‰¹æ’®ã‚·ãƒªãƒ¼ã‚º kuusou tokusatsu shirÄ«zu). In the opening montage showing kaiju attacks prior to Ultraman getting involved, a series of Ultra Q kaiju are shown in a montage, starting with a Shin Godzilla-inspired take on Gomess, the first Ultra series kaiju. Additionally, the snail kaiju Goga is referred to by its original script draft name Kaigel. When Ultraman first appears, his body is entirely silver, and his face is slightly asymmetrical and thin, with a slightly open mouth. This very closely resembles the first Ultraman's A-Type head design, and more specifically references his looks in the original stage show, before the series was picked up for TV. Hiroko Asami is introduced walking to work with the camera focused on her back and shoulders while passersby talk about Neronga's attack yesterday. This is a recreation of a scene from the Ultraseven episode "The Targeted Town", where Dan listened in on passersby talking about the mysterious violent incidents the episode's villain caused. Hiroko Asami is the film's equivalent to Akiko Fuji from the original series. Asami also shares her first name with Fuji's actress, Hiroko Sakurai. Amusingly, Asami shares Sakurai's displeasure of being turned into a Giant Woman by Mefilas, with Mefilas in the film sending Asami an apology. Zarab wears a fedora and coat when human-sized, much like how the original Alien Zarab first appeared to the SSSP while disguised in a similar hat and cape. The fight between Ultraman and his Imitation Ultraman form also replicates a moment in Zarab's debut episode, where the suit actor of Ultraman accidentally hurt his hand while delivering a karate chop to Imitation Ultraman's head. Mefilas presenting himself as an ambassador is likely a reference to Ambassador Mephisto, an Alien Mefilas from the Eiichi Shimizu manga. Mefilas' Beta Box carries a red orb at its center when opened. The red orb, and the red crystal in Ultraman's Beta Capsule, bears a striking resemblance to the red Travel Sphere that Ultraman used in the original series. Zoffy's Adaptational Villainy is inspired by magazines produced before the original show's finale that misinterpreted him as the show's final villain responsible for bringing Zetton to Earth. Ultraman deflecting Zetton's beams by spinning was a reference to the intro fight in the animated short The Ultraman: Jackal vs Ultraman. During the film's Darkest Hour, a factory, a river bank and the inside of a noodle shop are shown among the montage of humanity living their normal lives oblivious to the fact that Zetton is about to eradicate them. This is a reference to the Ultraseven episode "The Boy Who Cried Flying Saucer", where key events of the episode took place in those specific locations. The film uses homophonous terms that mirror terms from the original Ultraman, but have different exact meanings. These include: Kaiju: ç¦�å¨�ç�£, meaning "powerful calamity beast" (normally æ€ªç�£, "strange creature") Katokutainote SSSP: ç¦�ç‰¹å¯¾, short for ç¦�å¨�ç�£ç‰¹è¨å¯¾ç–å®¤å°‚å¾“ç�note kaiju tokusetsu taisakushitsu senjuuhan, meaning "Kaiju Special Countermeasures Office, Specialized Team" (ç§‘ç‰¹éšŠ in the original show, short for ç§‘å¦ç‰¹åˆ¥æ�œæŸ»éšŠnote kagaku tokubetsu sousatsutai, meaning "Science Special Investigation Team") Ultraman sets up his first Specium Beam in a manner similar to Ultraman Powered's: first holding up his right hand, then holding his left out to the side, before swinging it to his right hand, making a "+" shape.

Also, when Ultraman's human identity is exposed to the public, Ultraman being a member of the Katokutai hampers his ability to cooperate freely with them.

Shin Ultraman / int_30c40e9a	type	Deconstructor Fleet
Shin Ultraman / int_30c40e9a	comment	Deconstructor Fleet: Par for the course in the Shin series, this film deconstructs many elements of the Ultraman series. Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The destruction wreaked by the Monster of the Week depends on said Monster's intelligence. Neronga and Gabora plow through towns and countryside to get want they want. Zarab causes destruction while posing as Ultraman to paint him in a bad light. Mefilas only has the gigantified Asami deal one blow to a building and freeze before kicking over another; later, he engages Ultraman in an industrial facility, far from the city. Being turned into a giant in a very public fashion, especially in the age of mobile phones and social media, means records of that person on a rampage is unlikely to disappear onlineâ€”much to Asami's embarrassment and horror. This was later subverted when Mefilas removes nearly all of it in a literal Hand Wave as a sign of "good will". Badass Crew: Unlike with previous Ultraman series, Shin Ultraman does not have a special forces group of five people. Rather, as in Shin Godzilla, the human efforts against the attacking Kaiju are made up of two separate groups working together: the Japanese military (the "Badass"), and a government task force managing them and other resources such as local power plants (the SSSP/Katokutai, the "Crew"). Beware the Superman: Granted, the "Superman" in this context is still a benevolent being. Instead of instantaneous acceptance, Ultraman himself is treated with apprehension and even concern that he could be a greater threat than the Kaiju, much like how Ultraman Nexus was treated by the Night Raiders as a possible threat. It gets to the point that a plan to terminate Ultraman is drawn up by the government. At least one character who is aware of Shinji Kaminaga's connection to Ultraman questions his humanity by asking him, "Are you the red giant/alien [Ultraman]? Or are you human?" This is spoken over footage of Shinji being slapped by Hiroko, who looks visibly betrayed. Additional footage from the Public commemorative special video has Hiroko accusing Shinji of deceiving the SSSP. Given that this Shinji is actually Ultraman himself, who is borrowing the man's appearance following his accidental death during the battle against Neronga, Hiroko's reaction is rather justified. Destructive Savior: Ultraman's first appearance soon shows that causing collateral damage can have serious consequences, when the impact of his arrival results in Shinji's death. This later helps Zarab's False Flag Operation, using his Imitation Ultraman form to cause destruction and paint Ultraman as a malevolent extraterrestrial. Fusion Dance: The film treats Ultraman's merging with Shinji Kaminaga differently from the original series. Where as Shin Hayata retained his sense of self while not transformed into Ultraman, this film's Ultraman is the dominant personality within Shinji Kaminaga, largely due to the disparity between the red giant and the human. Also, when Ultraman's human identity is exposed to the public, Ultraman being a member of the Katokutai hampers his ability to cooperate freely with them. Monster of the Week: This movie asks the simple question, that most media barely seem to acknowledge: "If extraterrestrial life and megafauna attacked Earth weekly, what would this say for human society and their reactions to this development?" In this case, the aliens are very much acknowledged as having the upper hand in tech. The two recent Kaiju, Neronga and Gabora, are able to tank manmade weapons and/or destroy them before they damage the monster, to the point that the final opponent's arrival makes the populace just continue with their daily lives, long used to constant monstrosities dwelling among humans. It seems only Ultraman can save humanity from these cosmic horrors. It is also explained why mankind receives constant attacks: the extraterrestrials either want our world without mankind or want to use us as some sort of resource. Defeating Zetton all but ensures extraterrestrial interest in, and fear of, Earth and humankind. Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: As much as Ultraman, Zarab, and Mefilas exhibit godlike abilities, they are still lifeforms capable of failure. In the cases of Zarab, Mefilas, and Ultraman's superior ZÅ�ffy, they fail to reconcile their worldviews with humanity's place in the multiverse. Zarab merely sees humans as an extermination job. Mefilas enjoys what human culture has created, such as recreational activities and foods, but ultimately he sees humans themselves as a resource. The Planet of Light, the homeworld of Ultraman and ZÅ�ffy, sees humans as an easily-swayed, dangerous threat to multiversal peace, especially in light of their compatibility with the Beta System. This extends to practical limitations on the Extraterrestrials' godlike powers: Zarab can manipulate digital information and technology, but he cannot tamper with analog media such as film negatives; and Mefilas can wipe images off of the Internet, but cannot get rid of Asami's scent from the Beta Box he used on her. Transformation Sequence: When Shinji Kaminaga becomes Ultraman, there is no series-traditional rise sequence, at least not as of the third and final trailers. Instead, Ultraman manifests in realistic ways, such as erupting from inside a building, destroying it.note Granted, this also occurred in the original series. By their two last fights against Zetton, Shinji and the SSSP seems to have wised up to it—and they have taken to sending off Shinji to transform into Ultraman at the top of the building, so there's no vertical obstacle to his growing. Shinji and Ultraman, for that matter, seems to immediately launch to the air after transformation in order to prevent any further property damage within the vicinity. The rise sequence finally occurs in the final battle, before his second strike against Zetton.

Shin Ultraman / int_323f135b	type	Sorting Algorithm of Evil
Shin Ultraman / int_323f135b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The threat level of the kaiju quickly escalates throughout the film; while the kaiju in the opening montage could be killed by conventional weaponry, Neronga and Gabora are depicted as invulnerable against anything humans can throw at it. There's a good reason for this, as Mefilas explains to Kaminaga that the kaiju based on Ultra Q monsters were sent out to test humanity's strength and provide intel, while Neronga and Gabora are "next generation" kaiju designed to make humanity despair by presenting an enemy they cannot defeat, which would pave the way for him to introduce the Beta Box and turn humanity into his bioweapons. As the film progresses, the kaiju are phased out as the Extraterrestrials arrive, who are a lot more cunning and rely on mind games to cause impacts on a global scale. And then Zoffy arrives with Zetton, a Kill Sat that can wipe out the entire solar system, and becomes the main threat of the story.

Shin Ultraman / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
Shin Ultraman / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: Some elements from the original series don't appear in this film. For example: As stated below in Art Evolution, Ultraman has no Color Timer, as a return to Tohl Narita's original vision of the character in his 1983 painting "Incarnation of Truth and Beauty". Ultraman does not yell out his iconic "Schwatch!" voice line, or any vocalization of the sort in his Light-lander form. Zarab and Mefilas make no such utterances, either. However, in Shin Ultra Fight, Ultraman and Mefilas do use their original vocalizations underneath the running commentary. The Ultraman theme song is replaced with a newer song, because the lyrics from the original don't really match up with this incarnation (e.g. this Ultraman no longer has a "meteor"/Color Timer on his chestnote though the SSSP members do get their own "meteors" in the form of their star-shaped lapel pins, the SSSP don't use jet planes or unusual guns).

Funaberi then reveals that due to protocol, the SSSP's data stores are a completely closed system, which means none of it was backed up in any capacity outside of their department, unlike the rest of the government and the military.

Shin Ultraman / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Shin Ultraman / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Whereas the defense force teams in most Ultra series tend to operate sci-fi equivalents of tanks and fighter planes, the SSSP of this film do not. As they are a group of government workers with minimal trainingnote Kaminaga and Tamura are the only members who possess sidearms; and Taki and Funaberi are both from universities, they instead request support from the JSDF (the missile attacks on Neronga) and US military (the bombing runs on Gabora). Merging with an Earthling can have more drawbacks than benefits. Zarab recording and releasing videos of Kaminaga transforming into Ultraman make the latter into a wanted fugitive. Even after Zarab is exposed and defeated, Kaminaga is not automatically cleared of suspicion, and other agencies seek him out in futile attempts to control him. Despite Ultraman defeating Zetton and winning over Zoffy, he is still taken back to the Planet of Light to stand trial because he still broke their laws. It's akin to a soldier shooting their commanding officer over an order to fire on civilians. Yes the arresting officers might agree with the choice, but it doesn't change the fact that he shot his commanding officer.

Shin Ultraman / int_435dfcc7	comment	Computer-Generated Images: For the most part, Ultraman and the appearing Kaiju and aliens are all rendered in CGI, with actors using motion capture instead of rubber tokusatsu suits, emphasizing how alien these beings are on Earth. In comparison, Shin Godzilla was created with a combination of both props and CGI. That said, physical props were still employed in the process as they were in Shin Godzilla, but Shin Ultraman has more special effects shots than Shin Godzilla did. Though keeping with Shin Godzilla, the look of the VFX is done in a way to actually resemble the suits' rubbery appearance while mixing in the fluidity of the CGI format. Motion capture for Neronga and Gabora involved the mo-cap actor having a weight attached to their waist, resulting in both Kaiju having relatively slower, more labored movement. Also, to better convey Gabora using its head petals as a drill, the mo-cap actor had a four-legged stool on their head!

The twist is, in this sequence, Kaminaga/Ultraman activating his Beta Capsule allows him to move quickly enough that time slows down, reflected in the timer text actually slowing down as well. Kaminaga activates the Capsule at about T minus six seconds, activates it again once he's outside of Earth atmosphere at T minus 0.00099 seconds, and successfully smashes Zetton's shield and catches the projectile with his created six-dimensional hole at T minus 0.00007 seconds.

According to the official synopsis, the Kaiju are referred to as kaiju, but use the homophonous ç¦�å¨�ç�£, meaning "Powerful Calamity Beast" instead of the usual "strange creature" (æ€ªç�£). The film also translates the term to "S-Class Species" in English, as part of the SSSP acronym. Similarly, spoken dialogue in the third promotional video shows that aliens are referred to as "Extraterrestrials" (å¤–æ˜Ÿäºº, gaiseijin) instead of the usual "Alien" (å®‡å®™äºº, uchÅ«jin). As it is later explained that the Powerful Calamity Beasts are bioweapons, the alternate term serves to distinguish them from the naturally-occurring kaiju in the main franchise, much like how Terrible-monsters are different from normal kaiju.

The story, both as a whole and within each act, also includes elements of other Ultraman episodes. For example: The Neronga and Gabora arcs incorporate elements from Episode 1, with Ultraman arriving on Earth to deal with Neronga (instead of Bemular), and the establishment of Ultraman's power limit. The battle against Zarab includes elements of the Alien Baltan episodes, with Zarab getting sliced in half by Ultraman's Ultra Slash, the same fate suffered by the second Alien Baltan. Also, like in Episode 2, the Zarab arc also introduces Spacium, the element that Ultraman uses in his attacks and other abilities. Over the course of the film, Taki, the team's version of Ide of the original series, undergoes Ide's doubts about himself and his team from Episode 37, "The Small Hero".

Shin Ultraman / int_6b5a92dc	comment	Uncanny Valley: To those who are more familiar with the more muscular original Ultraman, Ultraman's tall, lean design in this film can seem very alien and unnerving. This is not helped by the first key visual◊ revealing his design having him stand in front of a lake with an eerily neutral posture, almost as if he's not meant to be there. This seems to be a deliberate design choice that feeds into the human characters treating the alien Ultraman with apprehension and concern. Even his movement is ominously weightless and inhuman in spite of his size, in complete contrast to the more natural and heavy movements of the kaiju he fights. Zoffy, who shares Ultraman's body design, may actually be even worse, as in addition to having the same proportions, his face is modelled after the Ultraman Jack mask used for filming in Return of Ultraman 50 years ago, down to the imperfections such as the asymmetrical eyes and the slightly lopsided mouth, which makes him look like he's flashing a Psychotic Smirk. Considering his Adaptational Villainy, this may be a deliberate choice.

Shin Ultraman / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Like Shin Godzilla, the "Shin" prefixing Ultraman in the title can vary in its meaning depending on the Kanji used to represent it. Two of which is "new" (æ–°) and "true" (çœŸ) representing that this incarnation of Ultraman is a newer version of the original, one that is closer to the original draft (for example, Ultraman lacking a Color Timer on his chest and instead having his time manifested on Earth dictated by losing the red in his design, which was beyond the capabilities of VFX at the time). The film also gives us two examples of "Shin" meaning "death" (æ»). First, Shinji Kaminaga dies when Ultraman first lands during Neronga's rampage, sending debris into Kaminaga's back. When Ultraman finds Shinji's body, he takes on the dead man's appearance. Second, at the end of the film, Ultraman gives his life force to Shinji, dying so that Shinji returns to life. On a different note, "Shin" could be interpreted as the English word "sin". Zoffy states that Ultraman's merging with Shinji is a grave violation of the Planet of Light's Code. It is rather apt that the surname of Ultraman's human host is Kaminaga (ç¥žæ°¸), with kami (ç¥ž) meaning "god" and naga (æ°¸) meaning "eternity". This makes his name roughly translate to "eternal God", which fits the messianic imagery associated with Ultraman. Humanity eventually sees Ultraman as a "god" of sorts, though Ultraman himself would disagree with that assessment. Ultraman's real name, Lipiah, is a reference to the Lippia genus of flowers, which symbolise bonds, honesty and understandingâ€”words which describe the first Ultraman very well. Lippia are known to be invasive species due to their rapid propagation, but also offer gardens with protection against soil erosion and weeds by acting as a groundcover, echoing Ultraman's status as an alien being who protects humanity against kaiju and other extraterrestrials. However, in a rare occurrence, this is actually completely unintentional! Word of God is that the name was actually chosen specifically to defy this trope. Another name was originally in the script, but was changed at the suggestion of Hideaki Anno to something that was intended to be totally linguistically alien.

While the circumstances of his attempt to sway the Japanese government still involves trying to deceive them into treating Ultraman as a threat (including kidnapping the human host), he does so with a number of simpler yet more plausible steps compared to the original. His Imitation Ultraman disguise, for that matter, is near-foolproof accurate that his attempt at discrediting Ultraman is more believable than the original show's design. Second, Mefilas. To his credit, he improves on Zarab's initial idea. Instead of trying to deceive a child and hold a city hostage by brainwashing an SSSP member into becoming a giant, Mefilas actively presents as a Human Alien, once again claiming to be a benevolent alien establishing First Contact. He also pointedly doesn't try to antagonize Ultraman directly, instead twisting the idea of Humans As Special as justification towards turning them into giants that will eventually become kaiju, like him and Ultraman. He also smartly retreats when he realizes a bigger threat, Zoffy and Zetton, has come for Earth.

Here, however, while he does lose the first time, the SSSP provides Ultraman with support, studying his Beta System thesis and coming up with a viable strategy: have Ultraman ignite the Beta Capsule a second time to allow Ultraman to open a six-dimensional hole for Zetton's terakelvin projectile. Ultraman thus fights Zetton head-on the second time, successfully causing it to implode into the six-dimensional holeâ€”at the cost of his life, due to failing to escape.

Zarab and Mefilas make no such utterances, either. However, in Shin Ultra Fight, Ultraman and Mefilas do use their original vocalizations underneath the running commentary.

Shin Ultraman / int_8f0dc93c	comment	The title character himself counts, in the end. In the original series, Ultraman actually loses to Zetton, requiring the SSSP to fight him with their anti-gravity missile. Here, however, while he does lose the first time, the SSSP provides Ultraman with support, studying his Beta System thesis and coming up with a viable strategy: have Ultraman ignite the Beta Capsule a second time to allow Ultraman to open a six-dimensional hole for Zetton's terakelvin projectile. Ultraman thus fights Zetton head-on the second time, successfully causing it to implode into the six-dimensional holeâ€”at the cost of his life, due to failing to escape.

Shin Ultraman / int_953c92eb	comment	Beware the Superman: Granted, the "Superman" in this context is still a benevolent being. Instead of instantaneous acceptance, Ultraman himself is treated with apprehension and even concern that he could be a greater threat than the Kaiju, much like how Ultraman Nexus was treated by the Night Raiders as a possible threat. It gets to the point that a plan to terminate Ultraman is drawn up by the government. At least one character who is aware of Shinji Kaminaga's connection to Ultraman questions his humanity by asking him, "Are you the red giant/alien [Ultraman]? Or are you human?" This is spoken over footage of Shinji being slapped by Hiroko, who looks visibly betrayed. Additional footage from the Public commemorative special video has Hiroko accusing Shinji of deceiving the SSSP. Given that this Shinji is actually Ultraman himself, who is borrowing the man's appearance following his accidental death during the battle against Neronga, Hiroko's reaction is rather justified.

Instead, Ultraman manifests in realistic ways, such as erupting from inside a building, destroying it.note Granted, this also occurred in the original series. By their two last fights against Zetton, Shinji and the SSSP seems to have wised up to it—and they have taken to sending off Shinji to transform into Ultraman at the top of the building, so there's no vertical obstacle to his growing. Shinji and Ultraman, for that matter, seems to immediately launch to the air after transformation in order to prevent any further property damage within the vicinity. The rise sequence finally occurs in the final battle, before his second strike against Zetton.

While the connection between Ultra Q and Ultraman was made in extra materials, this film directly grafts "Shin Ultra Q" into the backstory of Shin Ultraman. In the original series' first episode "Operation Ultra 01", Ultraman was pursuing Bemular, both in the form of large colored orbs, when the former collided with Shin Hayata's aircraft, leaving Hayata on the brink of death and forcing Ultraman to give the human his life force. In this film, Ultraman makes landfall to stop Neronga, the impact sending debris crashing into Kaminaga as he protects a civilian. Unlike with Hayata, when this Ultraman ties his life force to Shinji, this creates a "second Shinji" that serves as Ultraman's human identity, while also leaving the original Shinji's body behind in the forest where he died.

Shin Ultraman / int_e0207930	comment	Humans Are Special: The whole conflict of the movie revolves around extraterrestrial civilizations discovering humanity's potential in particular, their compatibility with Beta technology, and reacting with either sympathy or fear: Ultraman takes the most compassionate stance, choosing to believe in humanity's positive traits, such as their ingenuity. After spending time among humans, he empathizes with them both as individuals and as a society, and chooses to protect them. Zarab is on the other end, deciding that humans aren't special. If anything, Humans Are Insects to him, a local scourge he's been tasked with eliminating, which he treats with all the same dispassion as bug exterminator scoping out a colony before stamping them out. Mefilas intellectually recognizes humanity's potential, and indeed sets up a Batman Gambit to show the intergalactic community that they're a nascent resource that can be weaponized with Beta technology. Despite admiring human culture, it's ultimately a Condescending Compassion that treats humans as "valuable pets" or living weapons. Finally Zoffy decides that Humans Are Bastards, a warlike race that would destabilize galactic society if left unchecked thanks to their ability to transform with Beta technology. In other words, to him, humans are special because they're too dangerous.

Shin Ultraman / int_e43c66bd	type	Art Evolution
Shin Ultraman / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: Played With. The Ultraman is portrayed with a sleeker◊ design◊ which notably lacks a raised back fin, "tears ducts" at the eyes,note both affordances of Tokusatsu costume design for entering and seeing in the costume, respectively and a Color Timer. It is actually meant to be portrayed as close to his original design by Tohl Narita as possible. Specifically, inspiration was pulled from a 1983 painting◊ entitled "Incarnation of Truth and Beauty." The same aesthetics apply to Zoffy, the other Ultra-being appearing in the film, with a dash of Adaptation Dye-Job. Ultraman's appearance changes subtly in the beginning. In his first appearance during Neronga's rampage, Ultraman appears almost completely silver, with his red stripes already turned gray, and his head shares its shape and proportions with the first version of the original Ultraman's costume, the Type-A mask. Ultraman's subsequent appearances see his face shift closer to the Type-B and Type-C masks in later episodes of the original series and onward, while his red stripes return to their full color. All versions of his head also look less like costume helmets and more like his head, with the size and proportions generally lining up with a human's head. They even incorporate the light switch in the Ultraman mask's right ear, fusing it into Ultraman's head. Neronga and Gabora display more animalistic behavior, visibly distancing from the People in Rubber Suits approach while retaining the suit designs. The third promotional video reveals Zarab to have a smaller face closer to Tohl Narita's original Tiny-Headed Behemoth design, and also has No Mouth instead of his usual Lamprey Mouthâ€”or rather, his Lamprey Mouth is now blended in with the rest of his face so that it's effectively invisible when he's not using it. Gomess, infamously created by modifying a Godzilla suit, appears in a montage with other Ultra Q kaiju with a character model that's clearly a modified Shin Godzilla model. Mefilas' design has been given perhaps the most extensive redesign. No longer he is of a somewhat chubby constitution, but given a sleeker, thinner body. His head has been reworked completely: He has smaller more cat-like ears, the iconic blue eyes have been fused into a U-like visor. The silver mustache like apparatus above the yellow speaking organ has been excised. Said speaking spot itself has been given a smoother, smaller and more V-like shape put directly below the eye. His silver "beard"-like design now resembles something like a metallic mink collar that goes up to his chest. The design of the Katokutai's meteor-shaped emblem has been updated from a lineart design to a set of solid red and blue shapes.

Shin Ultraman / int_e50987a9	type	Reconstruction
Shin Ultraman / int_e50987a9	comment	Reconstruction: While the movie deconstructs elements of Ultraman, it still retains the feeling of hope, and in turn the spirit of Ultraman. Humanity is shown to be outmatched with extraterrestrial threats and is desperate enough to accept bribes from aliens. When kaiju attacks become too frequent, the populace accepts it as a way of life. Nonetheless, humanity is determined enough to overcome any obstacles and save the day when given the chance and a little outside help. Ultraman is initially presented as something so Alien that humans have a hard time understanding. Heâ€™s emotionless and humanity fears his power. To top it off, throughout the movie he was basically a walking weapon that humanity depended on. And yet, thanks to his interactions and bonds, Ultraman never forsakes his belief that all life, including humanity, has a right to coexist in the universe. By the end of the the movie, he succeeds in proving his superiors wrong and saving earth; all while giving his human host a second chance at life in exchange with his own, and ultimately being content with it all. On a darker note, the film reconstructs the concept of alien abductions of humans. Mefilas' agreement with the Japanese government allows him to do as he pleases with them. And since Shinji Kaminaga and Hiroko Asami have both proven humanity's compatibility with the Beta System, Mefilas can offer humans to other extraterrestrials as bioweapons. It's only thanks to Ultraman, the SSSP, and (indirectly) ZÅ�ffy's interventions that this potential intergalactic human trafficking never comes to pass.

Shin Ultraman / int_e51d31f0	comment	Giant Robot Hands Save Lives: Not with a literal robot, but the same effect is achieved when Ultraman catches Asami after she is thrown upwards from Zarab's hand in their fight. He's careful to match and slow her fall down, using both hands to be sure. Justified she survived a the fall as well given he puts her on the ground in the same movement, as well as with the use of Spacium-133, the gravity-manipulating element that composes Ultraman's entire body.

However, unlike Ultraman, ZÅ�ffyâ€”and the Planet of Lightâ€”is closer to this trope, though not outright. He's not evil, but he's enacting the decision by the Planet of Light to eradicate humankind because they deem it the best course to maintaining multiversal peace.

Shin Ultraman / int_e9604359	comment	Monster of the Week: This movie asks the simple question, that most media barely seem to acknowledge: "If extraterrestrial life and megafauna attacked Earth weekly, what would this say for human society and their reactions to this development?" In this case, the aliens are very much acknowledged as having the upper hand in tech. The two recent Kaiju, Neronga and Gabora, are able to tank manmade weapons and/or destroy them before they damage the monster, to the point that the final opponent's arrival makes the populace just continue with their daily lives, long used to constant monstrosities dwelling among humans. It seems only Ultraman can save humanity from these cosmic horrors. It is also explained why mankind receives constant attacks: the extraterrestrials either want our world without mankind or want to use us as some sort of resource. Defeating Zetton all but ensures extraterrestrial interest in, and fear of, Earth and humankind.

Shin Ultraman / int_ece27800	comment	Kill and Replace: A purely accidental case started by Ultraman, whose meteoric arrival on Earth killed Shinji Kaminaga. Because he still needs to counter any future Kaiju attacks on his watch, Ultraman takes Shinji's physical form and his identity via mergingâ€”an act that is forbidden by the Planet of Lightâ€”in order to cooperate with the SSSP. Somehow, Ultraman's method of this preserves Shinji's body until the latter's revival at the end of the movie.

Shin Ultraman / int_eeb4a5eb	type	Anti-Climax
Shin Ultraman / int_eeb4a5eb	comment	Anti-Climax: Because of the structure of the opening montage, any battles between the JSDF and the Kaiju are either truncated to one camera shot of battle or no camera shots of battle at all. For example, the Mammoth Flower is viewed in four shots: two establishing the monster, and two immediately after showing it dead and falling apart, with only the on-screen text divulging what had happened. Ultraman's fight with Mefilas, after being built up as Ultraman's antithesis and their battle of ideals, their fight barely lasts three minutes. Mefilas doesn't even have the decency to get himself blown up, once he sees Zoffy and realizes the planet is doomed anyway, he bows out, just like in the original show.

The counter-alien purpose is relegated to a separate Counter-Extraterrestrial group, which interferes with the SSSP when Zarab as Imitation Ultraman starts wreaking havoc, preventing their dispatch order.

Shin Ultraman / int_f2c08c1e	comment	Ultraman's real name, Lipiah, is a reference to the Lippia genus of flowers, which symbolise bonds, honesty and understandingâ€”words which describe the first Ultraman very well. Lippia are known to be invasive species due to their rapid propagation, but also offer gardens with protection against soil erosion and weeds by acting as a groundcover, echoing Ultraman's status as an alien being who protects humanity against kaiju and other extraterrestrials. However, in a rare occurrence, this is actually completely unintentional! Word of God is that the name was actually chosen specifically to defy this trope. Another name was originally in the script, but was changed at the suggestion of Hideaki Anno to something that was intended to be totally linguistically alien.

Extraterrestrials such as Zarab and Mefilas have capabilities way beyond human understanding (e.g. both can manipulate digital data without much more than a wave of their hands) and humans end up having to rely on Ultraman for their safety as if they worship him, leading to the human characters talking about how godlike the Extraterrestrials are. However, Ultraman himself denies this, sending a message to Taki that Ultraman is ultimately just another lifeform and needs humanity's research on the Beta System to take down Zetton. Later, ZÅ�ffy concedes that he respects humanity's ability to figure out a way to stop Zetton, something presumably not considered by the Planet of Light.

Shin Ultraman / int_feb0e2fe	comment	Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: As much as Ultraman, Zarab, and Mefilas exhibit godlike abilities, they are still lifeforms capable of failure. In the cases of Zarab, Mefilas, and Ultraman's superior ZÅ�ffy, they fail to reconcile their worldviews with humanity's place in the multiverse. Zarab merely sees humans as an extermination job. Mefilas enjoys what human culture has created, such as recreational activities and foods, but ultimately he sees humans themselves as a resource. The Planet of Light, the homeworld of Ultraman and ZÅ�ffy, sees humans as an easily-swayed, dangerous threat to multiversal peace, especially in light of their compatibility with the Beta System. This extends to practical limitations on the Extraterrestrials' godlike powers: Zarab can manipulate digital information and technology, but he cannot tamper with analog media such as film negatives; and Mefilas can wipe images off of the Internet, but cannot get rid of Asami's scent from the Beta Box he used on her.
