All spoilers for Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ultraman Decker, is a Toku series released on July 9th, 2022, created by Tsuburaya Productions and the 34th entry in the Ultra Series.Nine years after the events of Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga (and seven after Episode Z), the Earth and its colony on Mars are at peace. With kaiju no longer appearing, the Terrestrial Peaceable Union (TPU) has turned away from monster defense and is now focusing on space exploration. Its former strike force, GUTS-Select, has been decommissioned and its jets and airships fully automated.Then one day without warning, a hostile force arrives in the solar system. Designated the "Sphere" after their round shape, they begin laying waste to cities across both Earth and Mars. The TPU is caught completely unprepared to fight them, especially as they can create electromagnetic interference that disrupts the GUTS-Select arsenal's automation and renders it useless. But in the midst of the attack, a Heroic Bystander named Kanata Asumi is caught by the Sphere when a giant of light appears to him, recognizing his willpower and offering the strength to fight. With that, Kanata becomes Earth's new protector, Ultraman Decker!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But even an Ultraman can't fight off a worldwide invasion alone. While he does drive back the ground forces, the Sphere fall back and blockade the planet; cutting the Earth off from Mars and the rest of the universe (including Trigger and most of the former GUTS-Select team). Over the following year, the Sphere remain silent as the TPU rebuilds GUTS-Select and refits its equipment for manual control, while Kanata signs on as a new recruit. As Earth's kaiju become active again in response to the threat and the Sphere exploit them to renew their attack as opportunity arises, it's up to a new team to come together and take back their world.Like Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga before it, Decker is also part of the TDG Trilogy 25th anniversary project, in this case celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ultraman Dyna, hence the titular hero's many similarities to the original Dyna all the while giving its own spin for the current generation of audience. It also celebrates the 55th anniversary of Ultraseven by allowing Decker to summon Seven's own kaiju allies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The series is followed by an epilogue movie, Ultraman Decker Finale Journey To Beyond. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
Ultraman Decker / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: To its preceding series, Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, in stark contrast with how Ultraman Dyna was Lighter and Softer compared to Ultraman Tiga. From the very start of the series, the setting is much bleaker and while it does balance lighthearted moments at times. The show kickstarted with the Spheres isolating Earth with a barrier, while the titular Ultra himself is unable to stop them and the Mars Colony beforehand is ravaged, furthermore we see soldiers dying onscreen to the Spheres via getting absorbed while Trigger had no such casualties onscreen. Things get even more complicated midway through the series when Professor Yuichiro Asakage, one of the TPU's researchers and initially a major supporting character, turns out to be Agams the Bazdor an alien from an alternate future who came to help the Spheres devour Earth, with his betrayal impacting our protagonist greatly, and Agams' tragic backstory didn't help matters either. It ends up as one of the darker New Generation series as a result. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
Ultraman Decker / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Yuichiro aka Agams wants to destroy the Earth because he blames them for causing the Spheres to appear on his planet, which resulted in the death of his lover. However he doesn't specifically state how humanity caused the Spheres to appear. Making things even pettier is the fact that everyone is still fighting agains the Spheres in the future with Decker (the human) even stating that the only thing Agams caused is creating another world unrelated to the war against the Spheres in the future. | |

Breaking Old Trends: A Time Skip happens right at the second episode of the series as opposed to during the finale or in a follow-up instalment. Past Ultra series has the main protagonist being either Aliens Among Us or having fused with other Ultras from the past or present. Decker instead has the main protagonist fusing with his descendant, a new one for the franchise. | |

However, in spite of this, Agams sacrifices himself to protect Decker from the Mother Spheresaurus' attack, but he is reunited with Laelia in death. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In Episode 5, Taiji decides to help Ichika feed Elly the Eleking with an experimental battery meant to give power to a city after a disaster, choosing not to ask Sawa (an expert on monster biology) for her opinion on this action. The battery ends up overloading Elly and sends it on a rampage just as Sawa points out the flaw in the plan, even going as far as to reprimand Taiji for going through with it without her. | |

We Have Become Complacent: It's been seven years since the last kaiju appearance, so monster-related departments are being downsized, but TPU training principal Taiji Murahoshi fears that they might need to be bailed out once again if they're unprepared. Surely enough, the Spheres launch their invasion and seal off the planet, even with Decker's help. | |

Book Ends: The first and final opponent Decker faces is a Spheresaurus, although in the endgame episodes it is a Mother Spheresaurus, who also is the Sphere's creator and progenitor. The first time Terraphaser is fully activated is after Raibasser fries the original AI in it, rendering it obsolete and forcing Hanejiro to take over as the pilot, in the series finale it is activated for the last time to be piloted by Hanejiro after Agams' death. | |

Gaia's Vengeance: In episode 11, Cpt.

It later turns out he is Right for the Wrong Reasons since it turns out that Terraphaser is actually empowered by Spheres with the native kaiju sensing it. | |

Kaiju: This time it predominantly features returning Kaiju of three past series so far in the first episodes: Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga (due to taking place in the same universe), Ultraman Dyna (thanks to this series mainly serving as an homage to it) and Ultraseven (due to the series also celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Showa series). Of note is that major alien/kaiju from Dyna like the Spheres and Mons-Ahgar appear as do the Capsule Monsters of Seven after a long while of being unused besides cameo appearances. And finally there's the "Sphere" kaiju made by the Spheres themselves either from themselves or kaiju they assimilate. | |
