Ultraman Zearth is a 2-movie series produced by Tsuburaya as a collaboration with Idemitsu Kosan, part of the Ultra Series, featuring Zearth, a parody of the typical Ultramen, being an accident-prone klutz not quite adept at being a superhero, but still dedicated to his job.Being the Ultra Warrior representing Land of Pikari in Nebula Z95, Zearth joins the Earth Defense Force, MYDO (Mysterious Yonder Defense Organization) under the human alias Katsuto Asahi, where unlike the usual Ultramen whose human forms or hosts work as pilots, researchers, soldiers or any important figure of authority, Asahi ends up being their janitor. Suffering from intense hypochondria, Zearth / Asahi must learn to overcome his fears as the powerful Alien Benzenes attempts to conquer the Earth.

 Ultraman Zearth / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Whilst not as dark as other instalments of the franchise, this movie is significantly more serious in tone compared to the first. Zearth's Heroic BSoD is treated completely seriously and a portion of the movie is dedicated to overcoming his fear of Shadow Ultraman by going through Training from Hell, while the enemy is shown attacking a city on-screen with visible damage and succeeds in brainwashing thousands of humans, including Tooru.

 Ultraman Zearth / int_2c628d38
comment
Worf Had the Flu: This movie actually justifies the oft-complained issue with Ultraman in general: “Why don’t the Ultras just use their energy beams on the monster/alien right away?” In this case, its because the monster Cotton-pope is loaded with unstable energy, and killing it directly with an energy beam will cause an explosion wide enough to destroy Earth on the spot. Naturally Ultraman Zearth had to dispose of the monster in a more practical way.

Kick the Dog: In an early scene after Asahi is done filling petrol for Akuma’s car, Akuma hands Asahi his tip… a filthy, slime-covered, dirty piece of note that looks like something out of a trash can. Which he deliberately dropped on the floor. Then emptied an ashtray on it. Before driving away leaving poor Asahi to clean up after him.

Zearth is named after Idemitsu's petroleum product of the same name, and was initially created to advertise it. Him fighting against Alien Benzene is a reference to how the petroleum product contains less than 1% benzene content.

Oddly Small Organization: MYDO consists of six members, Captain Shinpei Ohkohchi, Butsukichi Konakai, Captain Ban Satsuma, Manabu Kazu, Tohru Hoshimi and Ganta Takemura. Katsuto Asahi himself may or may not count, since he’s their janitor, but for a team with their own secret base that’s pretty darn small.

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show
 Ultraman Zearth / int_7431b974
comment
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: For all the silliness and ridiculousness contained in both movies the villains are still legitimate threats to Earth and are based on the intelligent, cunning aliens popularized by Ultraseven: Alien Benzene's plan has his monster, Cotton-Pope, steal all of Earth's gold in order to absorb it himself to increase his own strength. He then kidnaps Zearth's friends in order to lure him in destroying his monster with his Speciu-shula Beam in order to trigger an Earth-Shattering Kaboom and absorb the golden power underneath it. His plan would have worked too if it wasn't for MYDO's warning and even then he still had a back-up plan in using Zearth's Hypochondria against him - for comparison other alien invaders who managed to attack the hero personally are Alien Nackle and Commander Black. Much like the first movie, in the second movie's Big Bad, Lady-Benzene proves to be a seriously threatening villain despite starring in a silly parody movie, being cunning, manipulative, dangerous, and even succeeds in abducting entire populations of cities – a feat repeated only by Alien Bat and Gilbaris decades later.

Shout-Out: The locker room teleportation sequence where MYDO ‘ports themselves to their ships is a blatant Star Trek reference.

Spin to Deflect Stuff: Ultraman Zearth’s tornado spin which deflects every attack directed at him and allows him to finally kick some ass back on the monsters.

comment
Spin Attack: In the climax, Ultraman Zearth executes his most powerful move, spinning himself like a tornado, with enough force to deflect all attacks Alien Benzene and Cotton-pope throws at him, and ultimately uses this to defeat both his foes.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Happens to MYDO in both movies, where their traps and weapons meant for Cotton-pope and Shadow Zearth ends up being used backwards on themselves.

Elaborate Underground Base: The MYDO headquarters is located underneath a normal-looking Petrol station, the same station where Asahi works as a janitor.

Heroic Second Wind: After being trapped in the quicksand pit trap Alien Benzene set up, the cheering of Tohru, the children and team MYDO is what allows Ultraman Zearth/Asahi to regain his confidence and leap out, back to battle.

Metal Muncher: Cotton-pope’s diet consists of gold, which is the source of its (and alien Benzene’s) powers.

Expy: Shadow Zearth is obviously based on Robot Ultraseven, having being reassembled using the same technology as the Salome Aliens in a similar-looking facility. Miraclon is a more colourful Miclas, being a horned capsule monster that assists Ultraman Zearth. Kohji Moritsugu’s Captain Ban even lampshades this (see Actor Allusion).

Product Placement
 Ultraman Zearth / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: As this film series is a collaboration with Idemitsu Kosan, their products regularly appear in the films: Zearth is named after Idemitsu's petroleum product of the same name, and was initially created to advertise it. Him fighting against Alien Benzene is a reference to how the petroleum product contains less than 1% benzene content. MYDO is named after Idemitsu's MYDO card loyalty program, and their base of operations is filmed at an actual Idemitsu petrol station. Lady Benzene also uses a MYDO card in her debut to pay for her gasoline.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: After the battle with Cotton-pope goes awry, the entire MYDO team returns to base defeated, but while the three men are in bandages and covered with burn marks, the worst than happens to token female teammate Tohru Hoshimi is having some soot on her face.
