All spoilers for Ultraman Geed The Movie: Connect The Wishes! and Ultraman R/B are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond is a 2019 tokatsu film produced by Tsuburaya, the Big Damn Movie of Ultraman R/B concluding the series' events. It's also the final Ultraman movie to premiere in the Heisei era.After a year of peace in Ayaka City since the final episode of Ultraman R/B, the Minato siblings - Katsumi, Isami, Asahi are pursuing their dream careers, when Katsumi decides to pay a visit to his old friend, Toi, whom inspired Katsumi back in their elementary school days and was last seen deciding to become a game developer. To Katsumi's disgust, Toi had since become a withdrawn recluse whom had given up on his life, and simply refused to even spend time with his old friend.When Riku and Pega (from Ultraman Geed) gets accidentally pulled into the dimension of Ultraman R/B and meets the Minato siblings, they learnt from Riku of a new threat, a fallen warrior called Ultraman Tregear, who can bring out the darkness and most sinister desires in people. Unfortunately, Tregear's first victim in their universe is none other than Toi, who desperately wants to prove his superiority by bringing his designed monster, Snake Darkness, to life. |

Chekhov's Gun: During the battle against Bemstar and Gan-Q, Ultraman Geed realize his friend Pega is trapped inside Gan-Q, preventing the Ultras from performing a lethal attack on the monsters without harming Pega. Later in the finale, Ultraman Rosso realize his friend Toi is trapped inside Snake Darkness, once again preventing the Ultras from performing a lethal attack or risk harming Toi. |

Mythology Gag |
| | Ultraman R/B The Movie: Select! The Crystal of Bond / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: Yukio Toi being a failed video game designer who sold his soul to Tregear, to bring his designed monster Snake Darkness to live, calls to mind the Garan incident from Episode 4 of Ultraman Ace, where Kuri the failed artist deliberately sold his soul to Yapool to bring his monster to life. During the fight between the Ultras and the monster team, Bemstar and Gan-Q, once again (as previously shown in Ultra Zero Fight) the central gorge of the monsters are interconnected, where energy beams fired into either Bemstar or Gan-Q would be absorbed into the monster, before being spewed out by the other. |

Art Initiates Life: Snake Darkness starts off as a failed concept art made by Toi, but thanks to Toi becoming corrupted by Tregear, ultimately the concept art becomes the unstoppable kaiju Snake Darkness. |

Break the Cutie: What Tregear ultimately did to Katsumi, by tricking him to a distant alien planet, and then breaking his spirit, his desire to fight, his self-confidence and self-worth as an Ultra warrior, and repeatedly indulging in convincing the Ultra is a failure. |

How We Got Here: The film opens with the Ultramen trio (Rosso, Blu, Geed) fighting Gan-Q and Bemstar, with Ultraman Rosso narrating the events (while trying to unstuck his head from a building he accidentally fell upon). The film then flashed backwards to the events which lead to the battle. |

Haunted Technology: Invoked with Tregear’s preference to approach his victims through television or computer screens, which is a rather blatant reference to The Ring. In the climax of the movie, Tregear actually enters our world through a giant television screen installed on the side of a building. |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Ultimately, what made the Brainwashed and Crazy Toi, which is now the soul of the rampaging kaiju Snake Darkness, snap out of it, is the timely arrival of his mother desperately looking for him in the chaos, and then begging him to stop when she realized her son is the monster. |
