Ultraman Tiga is a tokusatsu series, part of the Ultra Series franchise, that aired from 1996 to 1997, making it the first official entry of the franchise's Heisei era following a fifteen year hiatus after Ultraman 80.30 million years ago, beings of light came to Earth during mankind's infancy. Seeing the potential for humanity to become superior beings amongst the galaxy, the beings of light set up a colony to help and guide humanity. The beings of light would also neutralize and control a horde of giant monsters who once roamed the Earth with their destructive ways. Using their powers, the beings of light either destroyed the monsters or tamed them, allowing humans to live with no fear of predators.Malevolent factions within the colony began to oppose their own kind, stressing that they should remain the superior race and to subjugate humanity lest they rise and overtake them. A civil war erupts, destroying the colony and the beings of light, and regresses humanity to the point that it will take millennia for humans to achieve powers beyond their scope.Three of these beings, which the pre-historic humans with their telepathic powers dubbed "Ultras" survived the war and imbued humanity with their DNA powers of light, hoping to one day jumpstart the humans back to greatness. The last of the great advanced humans, a woman named Yuzare, is chosen to be the keeper of the light, and leaves behind clues throughout time that one day, the monsters will rise again, and beings of light will be needed to combat them yet once more.With various monsters rising from the Earth in modern times, the United Nations forms the T.P.C. — the Terrestrial Peace Consortium, a think tank looking for ways to neutralize the monsters. T.P.C. itself forms G.U.T.S. — Global Unlimited Task Squad, a strike team made up of combat specialists to counter the monsters if no other option but force is warranted.On an archeological dig, T.P.C. discovers a pyramid-like device left by Yuzare foretelling the arrival of the monsters, and that only the beings of light can beat them. The G.U.T.S. team heads out to a location given to them by Yuzare's message and discover a previously-invisible pyramid housing statues of the 3 Ultras that survived the war. Two monsters arrive and destroy two of the three statues, but a beam of light contacts G.U.T.S. Officer Daigo Madoka moments before his demise, informing him that he is a true blood descendant with the DNA of the Ultras and awakens a power within him to save the entire world, saving his life in the process.Using his inner heroism, his passion for justice, and his commitment for defending the innocent, Daigo accepts his heritage as the inheritor of the greatest power of them all — hope, as this era's Ultraman Tiga!In 2002, Ultraman Tiga was dubbed in English by 4Kids in an attempt to revive Ultraman amongst U.S. audiences (and possibly as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Power Rangers— 4Kids had taken over programming of Fox's Saturday morning block at the time, as Fox Kids and its assets had been sold to Disney). Rather than a direct translation of the source material, this dub was an Affectionate Parody, paying homage to Peter Fernandez's 1966 Ultraman dub. However, this time around, the dub takes it to another level, as it's filled with a plethora of lampshading humor. Audiences weren't amused, however, and the show was abandoned about halfway through.In 2021, in celebration for its 25th anniversary, Tiga recieved a Spiritual Successor series, Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga. Trigger is not set in the same timeline as the "Neo Frontier" timeline as Tiga and its Sequel Series Dyna, but shares many elements and even a few connections with them. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to Ultraman 80, at least. Even so, Tiga didn't shy away from horrifying moments such as children abduction, a Monster of the Week treat hunting Human Aliens as a game, a father tragically outlived his daughter and constantly haunted for decades, Tragic Monster who lived in never-ending agony, and the bigger implication of a Cosmic Horror Story with the Lovecraftian threat that is Gatanozoa. | |

It happens in the original in the second episode. The G.U.T.S. team dispatches a monster without an Ultra in sight, leading to Tempting Fate at its best: "Well, that was a breeze. I'm almost looking forward to the next time we meet a monster..." (ground shakes, the second monster comes out of the ground). | |

Conveniently Empty Building: In episode 3, the G.U.T.S. crew remarks that it's a good thing the building that got smashed earlier was under construction because it Could Have Been Messy otherwise. No, that was not a dub addition. Though later in the episode, another building is destroyed, and this incident is said to have resulted in heavy casualties. The dub, however, rewrites this so that the entire town is on holiday at the time. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_7b20b8d2 | comment |
Alternative Foreign Theme Song: It has foreign theme songs in mainland China and Hong Kong at the very least. note Due to copyright issues, the mainland Chinese version of the show (edited by Shanghai media) omits "Take Me Higher" and "Brave Love, Tiga" with their own take of the song. Namely, "Take Me Higher" is replaced by an original Mandarin song titled "When Miracles Appears" and "Brave Love, Tiga" is substituted with another theme called "Forever Our Ultraman". Hong Kong instead has a completely original Cantonese song simply titled "Ultraman's Theme", that most bizarrely has a well-known Hong Kong songwriter (江志ä»�) and lyricist (黃å�‰æ–‡) who are credited with fake Japanese names (山本洋太 and ç”°ä¸å°�百å�ˆ) to disguise that it is an Alternative Foreign Theme Song. No doubt, a whole generation of Chinese 90s-kids would end up being unfamiliar with "Take Me Higher" despite being Ultraman Tiga's fans... | |

Hour of Power | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_98c80fe5 | comment |
Hour of Power: As ever. However, this one is not from some nebula and being weakened by Earth's conditions, so you'd expect that he wouldn't suffer from the three-minute time limit. Worse, he has a tendency to fly off way into the sky/distance instead of just out of sight after a battle. If he ran out of juice in midair... However, the danger of timing out is reduced in this series; only under special circumstances can an M78 Ultra survive this ("...If it should stop, Ultraman will never rise again!") but Tiga will only demorph. Though that's a bad thing if there's a Kaiju trying to kill you, or again, if you're in midair or some other human-unfriendly environment. Although in this series the sensor is just a measure of the Ultra exhausting his energy in general as he fights, and doesn't signal him getting close to a time limit that translates into an oddly round measurement of Earth time. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Kyrieloid, the giant guardian of fire demons race Kirie — much like Tiga being the guardian of humans. From their point of view, Kyrieloid is the rightful protector of Earth since Kirie have been inhabiting the Earth for much longer. Its successor, Kyrieloid II even has ability to switch forms like Tiga. And then we have the Dark Ultramen from The Final Odyssey movie. Daigo himself would later met his own in Keigo Masaki, a power crazed genius that intends to use Tiga's power as his own. He later becomes an ultra himself, Evil Tiga, and fought Daigo in an Ultra vs Ultra showdown. Fittingly the episode where he appeared was titled "Inheritance of Shadow", clearly meant to mirror the first episode's title, "Inheritance of Light". | |

Combining Mecha: The GUTS Wing EX-J (Extra Jet) is essentially an inversion of the typical setup - rather than a group of machines that combine into one, it's a single large jet that can divide into two smaller ones. | |

Take That!: The English version has this in its theme music lyrics: "When Super's just not enough..." This phrase was also used as the show's unofficial tagline in the promos. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Episode 13 shows that Tiga can transform to a human-sized version of himself. Technically, every Ultra can do this; they turn spandexy and then turn giant, so there's no reason one can't fight human-sized-threats without growing. However, this power is only seen in this series and on extremely rare occasions. Of course, in the Ultra Series, non-giant threats are themselves quite rare. Previously, Leo did this in a few battles, and later Ultraseven X would have lots of battles in human scale. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ultraman Tiga / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out A distress signal in Gag Dub does this. The basic plot of episode 22, involving our heroes trying to avoid a monster-infested fog, owes a certain amount to the Stephen King novella The Mist, with one character outright comparing their situation to a story she once read about a bunch of people trapped in a supermarket. The full version of the title theme, "Take Me Higher", is bookended by samples from David Bowie's 1995 album 1. Outside: the start of the song samples "Wishful Beginnings", and the end of the song samples "Hallo Spaceboy". | |

Taken for Granite The Gakumas in episode 2 also did this, but they were easily taken out. Tiga is transformed back into a statue after he was defeated by Gatanozoa in episode 51. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Makio Kirino and Keigo Masaki return in the final to provide a much needed assistance to GUTS when Tiga is defeated. The former tries to guide the seperated GUTS member while the latter tries to summon light for the petrified ultra. | |

Multiform Balance Tiga can switch between three forms, Multi Type, Sky Type and Power Type. He becomes Glitter Tiga in the last episode. In The Final Odyssey movie, it's Tiga Dark, Tiga Tornado and Tiga Blast. They're really Evolution Power-Up represent how Tiga Dark is slowly purging away darkness from himself. | |

Kabuki Theatre | |

Kabuki Theatre: The episode "Flower" revolves around a pair of Kabuki-themed alien invaders who invades a TPC picnic, intending to make planet Earth their personal kabuki stage. Their outfits resembles kimonos worn by Kabuki stagehands, with their faces being modelled directly after Kabuki masks, and the final battle even takes place on a Kabuki-like soundstage! | |
