Spoilers for the Land of Light continuity of the Ultra Series preceding this one, including Ultraman and Ultraseven, may be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Return of Ultraman (1971) is the fourth (fifth, if you count Ultra Fight) entry in the Ultra Series. Created by Tsuburaya Productions, this time the series was spearheaded by Eiji Tsuburaya's son Hajime Tsuburaya, and brought the series back to traditional monster-fighting after the more experimental Ultraseven and into mainstream popularity once again. The show played a big part during Toku's transition from movies to television, and a big player during the "Henshin Boom" era that it launched alongside Kamen Rider.Plotwise it goes like this: After 3 years without an Ultra warrior to defend Earth, the Monster Attack Team is commissioned to battle various giant creatures, and has achieved limited success, but with an ever growing array of opponents, the human race is getting overwhelmed in a new "Second Age of Monsters".Suddenly, an Ultra warrior appears who looks similar to the original Ultraman, which leads people to believe that the original has returned to help Earth. In reality, this Ultra warrior has arrived on Earth for the first time. His name is Jack, which is unbeknownst to everyone. The Japanese public and M.A.T. simply call him "Ultraman" or "New Man".Jack battles one of the creatures rampaging and during his battle, race car driver Goh Hideki heroically rescues some innocents from the destruction, but is killed doing so. After Jack defeats the monster, Jack feels remorse about Goh's death and merges with him, leading to a recovery and a subconscious command to join M.A.T. in order to help out the brave humans who came to aid him during his first fight on Earth.With a new purpose in his life, Goh balances his life in three ways — to be a heroic member of M.A.T., a race car driver who loves his girlfriend very much, and a human guide for Jack to ease his mission on Earth against the hordes of evil monsters and alien invaders. | |

Return of Ultraman / int_2b3937ef | comment |
Our Hero Is Dead: Episodes 37 — Ultraman Jack has been defeated by Black King and Knackle, complete with Eye Lights Out as two of Knackle's spaceships have the hero's motionless body paraded throughout Tokyo, announcing to Earthlings his intent to have Jack executed the next day. But luckily Ultraman and Ultraseven comes to Jack's rescue on the next episode Episode 40 — Jack gets frozen alive by the monster Snowgon's Ice Breath, and the monster proceed to rip the hero limb-from-limb. Thankfully the Ultra Bracelet has a reserve energy charge, allowing Jack to pull himself together. Episode 51 — In the final episode, Hideki volunteers to pilot a malfunctioning Arrow-1 against the last two monsters, Alien Bat and Zetton. The plane ends up being shot down and exploding with Hideki on board, as Hideki transforms into Ultraman Jack, but none of the MAT Team are aware of the fact and believes Hideki had indeed perished. | |

Theme Music Power-Up: Its name was "The Ultraman Who Rises at Twilight" and came in at least three versions: vocal (rare and unused in the show proper); an instrumental march; and the better-known, shorter instrumental version (played in a lower key; also used in episode previews). A fourth version (slow with a trumpet solo) was played occasionally at the aftermath of a fight. | |

Humans Are Bastards: Episode 33 featuring benevolent alien call Meits, who came to Earth for observation. He took care of an orphan boy, who often got bullied by villagers. When the boy was accused of being an alien, he showed up to protect him and got beaten to death. You can't blame Goh for just standing there and watch as the alien Muruchi, previously trapped in a pocket dimension of Meits's psychic, caused havoc on the town. | |

Butt-Monkey: Poor Jack. Throughout the franchise he's been subject to several abuses... A second monster sneaking up on him during a fight (a few times) Fighting to exhaustion (as in, color timer going out) Being gored (King Saurus III) Bitten (many kaiju) Magnetised and zapped by Magnedon Torn to shreds by Snowgon Crucifixion (the first time happened after transforming and using up his powers twice in twenty-four hours, a big no-no for the original) Decapitation (in the latter part of the show) Freezing solid (led to decap and Literally Shattered Lives at the hands of Snowgon) Having his Ultra Bracelet turn on him (Episode 31) Encapsulated and turned into a Jade statue by Alien Hipporito in Ace. Very nearly dying and having his body deflate after his Color Timer was torn out by Dorobon in Taro. Getting whooped and gagged in Leo. Lost two of his friends in a cruel attack meant to hurt his spirit. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Return of Ultraman / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Despite being the Franchise Codifier... The first few episodes are somewhat on the fence regarding whether Jack is the OG Ultraman, or a different character altogether, until episode 17 gives Jack his iconic Ultra Bracelet and start differentiating the characters apart. Jack's first onscreen decapitation (on Sadola) is done with the Ultra Slash, an attack associated with Ultraman OG, while in later episodes if Jack needs to dismember / decapitate a monster he'll use his trusty bracelet instead. Jack wouldn't use his Ultra Slash for the rest of his live-action appearances (barring video games featuring Jack) until Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy. The final episode has Ultraman Jack forbidding his host, Hideki Go, to transform out of concerns over fighting Zetton. No such instances would happen later in the entire franchise. | |

Swiss-Army Weapon: The Ultra Bracelet, which can serve among other things: as a mirror (against Paragon); a spear (against Draculas and Bat); or a boomerang not unlike the Eye Slugger (against Bemstar). It could even put Jack back together after Snowgon tore him to pieces. | |

Continuity Reboot | |
Return of Ultraman / int_979f41a | comment |
Continuity Reboot: Sort of a complicated example of this. The original concept was for a Sequel Series, starring the original Ultraman returning to Earth. (An artifact of this being that Jack wouldn't actually get the name "Jack" for another decade.) However, during production they decided to bring back the previous Ultramen. Ultraseven had been a Continuity Reboot with no plot connections to the original Ultraman, but this series establishes a continuous timeline that also retcons Ultraman and Ultraseven to have taken place in the years they aired rather than the 1990s and 1980s respectively, and established the "Ultraman Universe" for the first time. (Though because Ultraman and Ultraseven had originally been standalone series, many years later the Heisei Ultraseven series would continue the Seven-only continuity, and Ultraman would continue the Original Ultraman continuity.) | |

No word on how long Goh carries it after the episode in question. The shirt Aki bought for Goh in Episode 5 almost became this. Averted with Goh's car at the beginning of the show. The Sakatas burned his race car down as a Due to the Dead when they thought he'd been killed. | |

While Minami gets to shine in episode 25 when he reveals he was a quiet bullied child and bonds with a similar one. In Between a Devil and an Angel gives a strong focus on Ibuki. While Oka wasn't exactly the star and hero of The Targeted Woman she was given a little more focus than usual. In the pen-ultimate episode Ueno is given some limelight as he struggles to find out how and why his mentor died while protecting his friend. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Return of Ultraman / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Being the first show in the franchise to firmly establish Ultraman and Ultraseven as having occurred in the same universe, Return Of Ultraman begins a franchise-long trend of referencing the events of its predecessors. Detton from episode 3 is also referred to as the brother of Telesdon from the original series considering the same suit is used with a different head. Kingsaurus III from episode 4 is referred to as "The Third" as he is the third "king" monster of the franchise (after Red King from the original series and Eleking from Seven). One episode has MAT training their marksmanship on cardboard cutouts of kaiju from Ultraman. The reappearances of Alien Baltan and Zetton build upon the events of Ultraman. In the former case, the Baltan in question is the son of the original from episode 2 of the 1966 series. The plot of a certain two-part episode is similar to Episodes 37 and 38 of the previous show. Seven once flew into the Sun to recharge, successfully. When Jack did it, it didn't work out. | |

Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: In-universe and meta-example. Episodes 37 & 38 take place around Christmas (Jiro wishes "Merry Christmas" to Goh at one point), and aired Dec. 17 and 24 in 1971 (Christmas Eve in America) note Although Christmas is a big deal in Japan for shoppers, New Year's Day is the preferred holiday. Now it wouldn't be hard to picture just how miserable Goh and Jiro were... Turns out Christmas in Japan holds special meaning for couples, especially sweethearts. Poor Goh. | |

Alien Knackle and Black King's double-teaming Jack, ending at sunset with a couple of vessels taking a crucified Jack away (episode 37). | |

Chekhov's Gunman/Irony: The doctor who declared Goh dead in the first episode is the same doctor who declared Aki and Ken Sakata dead in "Ultraman Dies at Twilight". | |

Return of Ultraman / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: MAT pulled this almost every episode. Oka pulled one by herself on her teammates to save Goh in Episode 38. Ultraseven pulls this off by saving Jack from certain death on two occasions, the second of which he did so alongside the original Ultraman. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
Return of Ultraman / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Goh saves Jiro, a second kid, and a dog from Zazahn and Takkong. For his trouble, he gets pinned down in a cave-in, dies (temporarily), and his favorite race car is burned down to honor him. On the other hand, Ultraman Jack revived him, and he joined MAT. A very dark example is the death of Aki Sakata, as she was on her way back from having Goh's watch fixed at the jeweler's when Alien Knackle and his mooks grabbed her, threw her in a car, terrorized her, and dragged her as she tried to jump off the moving vehicle. Not to mention, Ken was run over as he tried to stop them. In "Monster Island SOS", Minami flew to New York on a mission to deliver the Monster Sonar instead of Gohnote Captain Katoh had originally ordered Goh on the mission, who was going on a hiking trip with Jiro and Aki. Then, his plane crash landed on the titular island in the Pacific. When Goh flew in to rescue him, Goh himself crash landed as well. | |

Creepy Child: Teruo, the alien boy from episode 31, the same one who turns the Ultra Bracelet on Ultraman Jack. He was so devious, even Captain Hibiki wouldn't believe Goh when he first became suspicious of the kid. All the same, Hibiki saved the day. | |

Return of Ultraman / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: A couple of them in "Ultraman Dies at Twilight": one is a sad version of "The Ultraman who Rises at Twilight"; the other is "Pinch Fight" (begins when Alien Knackle appears during the fight at the end), whose bassline features the same melody (about 40 seconds in). | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Twice. In Episode 38, after Alien Knackle jams all communications to the MAT base, he uses the phrase just before blowing up the MAT Space Station. In the last episode, Alien Bat destroys the MAT base. | |

Symbiotic Possession | |
Return of Ultraman / int_ff369faa | comment |
Symbiotic Possession: Started out just like in Ultraman, but the longer Goh was a host, the more the two beings merged into one, so they became inseparable at the end of the show. Hayata's own situation was Retconned in one of the movies to be similar to Goh's. | |
