| Ultraman: The Next | comment |
As this film acts as a pseudo-prequel to Ultraman Nexus, all spoilers pertaining to it are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Ultraman: The Next, simply released as ULTRAMAN in Japan, is a 2004 tokusatsu film, part of the Ultra Series.An isolated scientific facility is thrown into chaos when a horrific creature tears through its corridors, killing its military personnel. Sara Mizuhara, a leading scientist at the facility, attempts to kill the beast with specially made bullets filled with a special poison. She falters, and the creature escapes...Shunichi Maki is a First Lieutenant in the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force and pilots F-15 Eagle jets. It's been his dream to do so since he witnessed the "silver meteors" passing overhead as a child, but now he has a new dream. He wishes to be with his family: his wife Yoko and his sickly son Tsugumu. Right before he fully resigns, though, a strange light appears in the sky and he is scrambled with the other pilots to investigate. Unfortunately, his partner has to pull away when the strange light nearly crashes his plane, and Maki then has a head on collision with the light, but little does he know that he is now going to be a major part in a battle for the fate of the Earth.Aliens, possession, giant monsters and lessons about responsibility and fatherly commitments make up this big budget movie that takes a new spin on the beloved character alongside Ultraman Nexus, the series that this film is connected to.For another version of a realistic Ultraman, see Shin Ultraman, a re-imagining that strays closer to the designs and tone of the original series. | |

With Great Power: A major theme of the movie. Maki is living the dream as a fighter pilot, but he decides to step down to spend time with his son, who may only have a year left to live. Once he's merged with Ultraman and thrust into the plot, he struggles with being the only one who can kill the Beast and going back to his family. | |

Darker and Edgier: Keeping in tone with Nexus, this film is a pretty realistic take on the series, meaning it's a bit darker than your standard Ultraman fare. | |

Title Drop: When explaining that the first monster to appear is "The One", Maki asks what Sara and the others will call him. She suggests "the Next". At the end of the film, people start referring to the mysterious red-and-silver giant as "Ultraman". | |

How Do I Shot Web? | |
| Ultraman: The Next / int_21fd09a7 | comment |
How Do I Shot Web?: Maki slowly learns how to use his new-found powers. When transformed the only thing he can do is punch things and only manages to launch an energy shot at the end of his first fight. By the second battle he's much more proficient. It's noted part of this is he and Ultraman haven't fully merged. | |

Face Death with Dignity: It's made pretty clear that Maki should have died after the final battle, but he seems at peace when Ultraman tries to apologize. Maki does end up surviving, and is able to take his son for a ride in his plane just like he promised, implied to be Ultraman's doing. | |

Alternate Continuity: In the first place the movie makes no mention of the Ultra Garrison and everyone treats Ultraman and "The One" as the crazy things that they are. In Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial it's finally confirmed that the Ultraman Nexus universe takes place in a different universe. | |

Body Horror | |
| Ultraman: The Next / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The One and his many transformations can be quite sickening to look at made worse when you realize the hulking monster began as a human. The One's second, enormous form is hatched from an ugly cocoon it grew after absorbing lizards, and its third form sports a tiny head at each shoulder for no other purpose other than to look gross. | |

Shape Shifter Guilt Trip: The One uses Udo's form to manipulate Sara twice. The first time by manifesting his face on its skin to prevent her from killing him when she had the chance. Later, just before the Final Battle, it turns into Udo fully in an attempt to get to her, but she sees through it, realizing the real Udo was already long dead. | |
