Ultraman Ace is tokusatsu show that aired from 1972 to 1973. It is the fifth installment in the Ultra Series.Yapool, an interdemensional mastermind with an eternal grudge against the Ultras, seeks to take over the Earth with Terrible-Monsters (aka Choju, or 'Super Monsters'), his empowered artificial monsters, along with a handful of aliens recruited into his ranks as agents. The 5th Ultra Brother, Ultraman Ace, goes to combat him not in one, but two hosts, who he saves during Yapool's first attack against the Earth: TAC officers Seiji Hokuto and Yuko Minami. Together, Seiji and Yuko (and later just Seiji) must combat Yapool's forces and other nasties to preserve peace on Earth. | |

| Ultraman Ace / int_112890b3 | comment |
In the last episode, the seemingly benign Alien Simon turned out to be Yapool, who has created Jumbo King (a kaiju made up of parts of four other kaiju), and turns children against Hokuto, who then reveals his Secret Identity to everybody. | |

Phantom Zone: Yapool's dimension, from where he creates his monsters and oversees their actions on Earth. It is also the location of Ace and Yapool's epic mid-season fight that briefly takes the latter out of the role of main antagonist. | |

The Artifact: Starting at the end of episode 28, Minami is written out of the show, and for the remainder of the series Hokuto transforms into Ace all on his own. Despite this, the Expository Theme Tune continues to call on both of them to transform all the way to the finale. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Ultraman Ace / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: The Muruchi that appears to assist Metron Jr. and Doragory gets brutalized by the latter after accidentally bumping into him, having his jaw and leg torn off effortlessly. As he continues to make sounds on the floor after having this done to him, it can be inferred that Muruchi II died a particularly slow and painful death. Metron Jr. being sliced in half. Baraba. In an act of stupidity, he fires his sword off at Ace, who catches it, just as he did in his previous fight. However, Ace throws the sword back at Baraba this time, impaling him through the chest. Baraba is still alive and continues to fight, but then Ace strikes him so hard on the back of the head that his eyes burst out of their sockets, held up only by their optic nerves. The creature then hops about, screaming in pain. Ace then dislocates Baraba's axe-arm and uses it to decapitate him. Unitang gets paralyzed and melted alive. Black Satan gets electrocuted, set on fire, and blown up by Ace's metallium ray. Sabotendar getting his tongue shot off before being cut open and eviscerated. | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
| Ultraman Ace / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: Father of Ultra, Ace's adoptive father, fights Alien Hipporit and, while doing the best out of everyone to fight him, gets beaten down. He then sacrifices himself by tearing out his colour timer (but revives Ace who finishes the job). Father of Ultra had actually been weakened due to a combination of things (depending on the source, he either expended too much energy going to Earth top speed or was tired from training Taro). Later appearances show that he would have otherwise crushed Hipporit without breaking a sweat. | |

Four Is Death: How many Ultramen were crucified on planet Golgotha? Four. They happened to be the same ones who came down to rescue Ace from Alien Hipporit only to fall into the same trap as Ace. Subverted when Father of Ultra joined the fray, and ultimately had to sacrifice himself to resurrect Ace, bringing the number up to five. Jumbo King is comprised of four of Yapool's Terrible-Monsters. He also has four arms and four legs. | |

Golgotha was the name of the planet where Ace Killer lured the Ultra Brothers in Episode 13, the same planet where all of them, except Ace, were crucified! Barabas was the name of Ace Killer's kaiju.

| Ultraman Ace / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Yapool, an interdimensional alien taking many forms that plots to conquer Earth and destroy the Ultras and all who oppose them. He's also the first example of this in the Ultra Series, and one of the most beloved in the franchise, and as such has made many reappearances since then. Exactly what Yapool constitutes is unclear; while it was initially established that Yapool was an entire race of aliens, it appears to have been changed midway through the series to have Yapool be either a single member of his kind, or a single alien altogether, with this latter interpretation sticking. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Ultraman Ace / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The five Ultra pledges, from the final episode of the previous series is re-recited again by Jiro. When discussing how to eliminate Sabotendar in cactus form, Captain Ryu references Nokogirin being mutated on Earth by MAT, prompting TAC to try to kill the choju in space instead. Unfortunately, this is what Yapool wanted and once again, a miniature monster becomes kaiju-sized thanks to the attack team. | |

| Ultraman Ace / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: For Hokuto and Minami, TAC. Also, the children who were deceived by Alien Simon, for Hokuto. Hokuto and Minami transform and save Jiro at the same time, so it's possible he (and Rumiko) knows. In Episode 2, Captain Ryuu kind of lets it slip that he knows Hokuto is Ace but never reveals it to anyone else. | |

Baraba. In an act of stupidity, he fires his sword off at Ace, who catches it, just as he did in his previous fight. However, Ace throws the sword back at Baraba this time, impaling him through the chest. Baraba is still alive and continues to fight, but then Ace strikes him so hard on the back of the head that his eyes burst out of their sockets, held up only by their optic nerves. The creature then hops about, screaming in pain. Ace then dislocates Baraba's axe-arm and uses it to decapitate him. | |

Cassandra Truth | |

Cassandra Truth: Pursue the Mystery of the Transformation Terrible-Monster: After Koyama gets possessed by the Choju Brocken, Koyama's son tries telling his friends and the TAC that his father has been used as host to a parasitic monster. It doesn't work for most of the episode until Koyama/Brocken reveals himself at the end of the episode. A Gift From Zoffy had the choju Dreamgillas appearing randomly whenever Yukio is daydreaming had the boy reporting to the TAC of the monster's presence, only for the monster to repeatedly disappear due to existing only in the child's mind. Even Hokuto have difficulties believing the boy, until Zoffy personally intervenes telling Hokuto that Yukio is in fact telling the truth. Revenge of Verokron have this happening to Hokuto himself, where after being lured into having a device implanted into his mind by Yapool, he then hallucinates Verokron from episode 1 returning, which nobody believes until the end of the episode. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: To an extent Minami is a Moon person who chose to return there after her mission while Hokuto remains on Earth and later permanently becomes an Ultraman. In the series itself they're portrayed as more of a close friendship than a romance though, with him even refering to her as like a "sister" in her final episode. However follow up appearances tended to treat them like they did have a romantic thing going on. In Mebius when they're finally reunited 30 something years later they lament they couldn't "Grow old together" and their alternate universe versions in Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers were married | |

But Now I Must Go: Actually happens twice to both main characters. In episode 28 Minami reveals she's an alien from the Moon and has to return there now that her mission on Earth is over, leaving Hokuto alone as Ace. Then in the final episode Hokuto himself leaves Earth to the Ultra's planet after he loses the ability to return to human form and becomes an Ultraman permanently. Later installments would have him regain the ability to take his human appearance but he's no longer fully human and his life as Seiji Hokuto is over. | |
