All spoilers for Ultraman Taro,The☆Ultraman, and Ultraman R/B are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Ultraman Taiga is a 2019 tokusatsu series created by Tsuburaya Productions and the 31st entry in the Ultra Series. While this show is officially the first entry of the Ultra Series in the Reiwa Era, it is still counted as part of the New Generation Heroes trend that started from Ultraman Ginga.Long ago, the son of Ultraman Taro named Taiga had saved Earth from an unknown catastrophe and merged with a young boy named Hiroyuki Kudo, remaining dormant ever since. Years later, the boy grows up to join E.G.I.S. (Enterprise of Guard and Investigation Services), a private security organization tasked in handling alien-related cases. Unbeknownst to him, Hiroyuki carries Ultraman Taiga’s “particle of light”. The new story begins as Taiga's powers revive from Hiroyuki's body, and later the boy bonded with two more Ultras of different origin. Meanwhile, Ultraman Tregear returns from Ultraman R/B the Movie as the major Big Bad.Starting with September 29, 2019, Ultraman Taiga coincided its airing with the YouTube-exclusive miniseries Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes, the latter is a prequel to the former itself.The first trailer can be seen here. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Ultraman Taiga / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag The first episode does this to Ultraman Taro's first episode. As a Kaiju bioweapon from/related to the previous series is killed easily by a brand-new Kaiju to demonstrate its might. Taiga watching previous events like in Ultraman Story Taiga Tri-Strium form has the same colors as the ZAT uniform and the Taiga Blast Attack is based on Ultra Dynamite. To other series Episode 6 is a sequel to The Boy who Cried Flying Saucer. In Episode 10 we hava a homage to episode Ultraman Dies at Sunset. In Episode 15 we have return from Skull Gomora. Episode 18 features a deteriorated-looking Zetton under the control of an Alien Bat. Episode 22's plot is a more positive take on "Ambassador of the Nonmalt", with Takkong filling in Guyros' role. | |

Spiritual Successor: To Ultraman Tiga. Apart from their similar-sounding names, they are the first Ultra shows of a new Japanese imperial era (Heisei for Tiga, Reiwa for Taiga), and also breaking the trend of the Ultra Series (multicolored forms and body coloration for Tiga, three Ultras sharing the same human hosts in Taiga). | |

Book Ends: The first episode's title is "Buddy, Go!", the transformation call used by Hiroyuki to transform into one of the three Tri-Squad Ultras. The final episode's title is "Buddy, Steady, Go!", the opening theme of the series. Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes begins with the New Generation Ultras (Ginga, Victory, X, Orb, Geed, Rosso and Blu) team up to rescue Ultrawoman Grigio and Ultraman Zero from Ultra Dark Killer, which then leads up to their confrontation Tregear in the first episode. In New Generation Climax, which serves as the Fully Absorbed Finale of the series; the New Generation Heroes and their human hosts team up with Hiroyuki and the Tri-Squad to battle Tregear and save Taro from the latter's brainwashing. Again in Ultra Galaxy Fight, Taro instructs the New Generation Heroes to give Ginga power to defeat Ultra Dark Killer with the New Generation Dynamite. In New Generation Climax, Taro does the same to the New Generation Heroes by fusing themselves with Taiga to form Ultraman Reiga and destroy Grimdo. For the New Generation Hero era as a whole. Beginning with Ultraman Ginga where Taro serves as The Mentor to Hikaru. Taiga in general serves as the finale for the New Generation Hero trend, with the titular Ultra being the son of Taro. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ultraman Taiga / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Episode 0 of Taiga (which can be watched in YouTube for free) is about Taiga viewing three past battles of his seniors. Two of them involves fighting their own friend while struggling with the power of bonds. That same thing happened in episode 16 when Taiga was brainwashed by Tregear and it took the help of Hiroyuki, Titas and Fuma to save him back. How the villains in the show being able to create a Skull Gomora and a mindless clone of Ultraman Belial had the viewers wonder how they were able to obtain Belial's genetic samples. The next season after Taiga reveals that fragmented remnants of Belial's cells are called the Devil Splinters. It's possible Mabuze is gathering Devil Splinters (which isn't mentioned yet at the time) to create these aformentioned monstrosities before Celebro did. | |

Jerkass: The Victim of the Week of #3, Imari. He's the president of a company called Cozmo Technica who's entirely self absorbed and doesn't really show any real sense of understanding just how much danger his life is in. It turns out he's also Lethally Stupid as his monumentally idiotic "birthday rocket" that he shot into space collided with a satellite and got two innocent people killed, something he shows no remorse for. He refuses to take orders from E.G.I.S. due to his ego despite having hired them to protect him and when Hiroyuki pulls a Diving Save to keep him from being sucked into the vacuum of space he shoves Hiroyuki for shoving him and nearly gets him killed. He even callously suggests a memorial to the astronauts he killed... on another rocket, proving he'd learned nothing. No one's really crying for him when Souya punches him out for even suggesting that. | |

Friendship-Hating Antagonist | |
| Ultraman Taiga / int_f5f3d084 | comment |
Friendship-Hating Antagonist: The villainous Ultraman Tregear has become disillusioned with all of the heroic virtues that the Ultramen preach, but he particularly despises bonds of friendship and brotherhood — his own experiences with friendship had been painful as he never really had any, and he came to resent the Only Friend he did have, Ultraman Taro, when they drifted apart as their lives took different paths. Of course, he's the villain in a series that features a Power Trio (led by Taro's son Taiga) instead of a lone Ultraman, and tries to pick apart Taiga's bonds with his friends and his father as much as possible (and, also of course, fails spectacularly). | |
