Ultraman: Towards the Future (known as Ultraman Great in Japan) is a 13-episode miniseries created as an International Coproduction between Tsuburaya Productions (creators of the Ultra Series that is is a part of) and the South Australian Film Corporation.Astronauts Jack Shindo and Stanley Haggard are the first men to land on Mars and encounter the giant monster Gudis battling the gigantic alien, Ultraman Great. Haggard is killed by Gudis while Jack is pinned underneath a rockslide, but before Ultraman can destroy the monster, it turns into a virus and heads for Earth. As Ultraman cannot last long in Earth's polluted atmosphere, he merges with Jack to battle the Gudis Virus, granting the human the ability to transform into Ultraman whenever all is lost. Jack then joins the anti-monster attack team UMA (Universal Multipurpose Agency) to help them fight the Gudis and many other monstrous threats.The series was released in Japan Direct to Video in 1990, only finally airing on television in 1995. The series was also distributed in the United States by Sachs Family Entertainment and broadcasted in 1992. In Australia, it was shown on the Nine Network in 1993. The series also generated a merchandise line including toys, comic books and a video game. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to most of the Ultra Series, this show has a surprisingly serious tone, with frequent conflicts between human characters, far more horrific monster designs and heavier themes, particularly its ever-present undercurrent of environmentalism. It's probably not a stretch to call it a Spiritual Successor to UFO (1970). | |

Green-Eyed Monster | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Ryugulo gets jealous of the attention his wife is showing Morgan, which, together with Ike and his The Men in Black nearly blowing his cover, culminates in him lashing out in his giant, alien form. It takes a heated argument (read: trashing the train depot they were in) with Ultraman to make him back down. | |

Impossibly Graceful Giant | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_2592ee52 | comment |
Impossibly Graceful Giant: Downplayed, in spite of the genre. The monsters generally lumber around on the ground, barring a few stunts, and do seem to portray their massive weight rather convincingly. Even Ultraman himself, giant alien martial artist that he is, moves only fairly faster than his adversaries. | |

Puny Earthlings: Ryugulo essentially describes humans as such to his wife - both are aliens who have come to earth as fugitives. While she takes human form to blend in and sight-see, he initially refuses, and disguises himself as a hamburger van, a painting on a wall, and a coffee machine. | |

Poisonous Person | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_27ae4a75 | comment |
Poisonous Person: The final Gudis-made monster, Barrangas, constantly spews poison from its body. Bogun, the first, can also spray a numbing gas from its body that nearly knocks Ultraman out. Taken to its logical conclusion with the Majaba, which is not only a product of pesticide-induced mutation, but has become so reliant on them that it uses them as its food source. | |

Non-Indicative Name | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: The UMA primarily uses two types of vehicle: a futuristic red aircraft and an armored car similar to a military humvee. Guess which one is referred to as a Hummer? It's actually the plane, presumably because of the sound its VTOL engines make. The armored car is known as a "Saltop." | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Jack suddenly reveals himself to Jean in episode one, she spends some time wondering about how he returned, and is suspicious about how he knows so much about the Monster of the Week. The rest of UMA also takes some time to trust Jack after his unexpected return, especially when he appears to be a Gudis expert with no prior Foreshadowing. Later in the episode, Ultraman's first, sudden appearance before the UMA team causes them to initially mistake him as hostile - especially when he starts slugging it out with a Kaiju in the middle of the city. | |

Because Destiny Says So: In the Deganja episode, the aboriginal mystic Mudjudi shows Jack and Lloyd a cave painting depicting what appears to be a confrontation between Ultraman and the Deganja itself (portrayed as an anthropomorphic whirlwind).

Damsel in Distress | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: Jean Echo, Jack's love interest, gets taken hostage by a Gudis-resurrected Stanley in the fifth episode, and Stanley steals Jack's Transformation Trinket. Jean escapes his grasp and risks her life to retrieve it, falling into a pit of Gudis spores in the process. Jack manages to fish her out of it, but she spends the next episode under Gudis' Demonic Possession. Thankfully, she gets better. Happens again to Jean in episode eleven, when she falls victim to a Wounded Gazelle Gambit set up by Norberg's goons. | |

Harmless Freezing: And then some. The Gigasaurus emerges from the ice (thanks to a Gudis-controlled Stanley's meddling) seemingly none the worse for wear, but Gudis may have also played a part in restoring its functions. It's explicitly stated that it was revived from dormancy, and is actually growing. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: A recurring theme in the show due to the heavy emphasis on the fact that many of the monsters in the series are attacking to punish humans for pollution.

Improvised Weapon: While running from the Guardian of the Forest in episode seven, the UMA team stumbles across a field of mushrooms that release highly-corrosive spores on contact. While their equipment gets wrecked, Hollywood Acid-style and all, the spores also seem to repel the giant beast. Kim Shaomin then gets the idea to collect some of the spores and encase them in clay to make "mushroom bombs." They serve as a pretty good deterrent to the beast, at least until the team runs out and Jack has to resort to summoning Ultraman. | |

Obliviously Evil: The Guardian of the Forest is just reacting to human incursions onto its forest (notably, it's the first non-Gudis-driven monster encountered), and is not actually out to destroy humanity. Fittingly, Ultraman only buries it underground instead of outright killing it, and doesn't actually score any solid hits on it in their fight (preferring instead to dodge around it like a matador). The Gigasaurus more so, as it's a Fish out of Temporal Water creature that's just lashing out in confusion. Ultraman spends the fight only trying to restrain it. | |

Let's Get Dangerous!: In the fight against Barrangas in episode five, Ultraman immediately breaks out the Frickin' Laser Beams (as opposed to going Good Old Fisticuffs on the Monster of the Week first), as if to show how high the stakes are. Fitting, as Gudis reveals its second form in the next episode. Could also be because Stanley's involvement and Jean's Damsel in Distress moment means that It's Personal for Jack. Done again against Gudis' second form, where Ultraman certainly doesn't waste any time before unloading with his pyrotechnics. | |

In the final episode, the mysterious prophecy disc is shown to turn the tables on the Kodalar, beating it at its own game, and blowing it up once and for all (though it gets fried to a crisp itself in the process). Ultraman himself uses this, against the Gigasaurus, Gerukadon, and the Deganja. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Attempted, but ultimately defied. In the first episode, Jack gets his leg trapped under a rockslide on Mars (caused by Ultraman's first battle with Gudis) when he and Stanley are trying to flee from Gudis. Jack tells Stanley to go on without him (at gunpoint, no less), but Stanley is ultimately killed when Gudis attacks their launcher, as Ultraman has been knocked unconscious at the time. | |

Gaia's Vengeance: The two-part finale sees the Earth itself spawn two monsters called Kilazee and Kodalar to destroy the human race as punishment for their environmental destruction. Practically spelt out in the Deganja episode, wherein the mystical aborigine explains that "when the land feels neglected, it sends down the Deganja." And again, in the Guardian of the Forest episode, wherein said guardian is apparently attracted to anything metallic (i.e. man-made) in its domain, and is driven into a frenzy when a bulldozing team tries to deforest its realm. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In episode three, mystic aborigine Mudjudi has the Deganja trapped in a ritual stone circle, and is in the process of appeasing it, when one of UMA's Hummer jets swoops in and tries to score an easy kill. The resulting explosion ruins the ritual, and prompts the Deganja to assume physical form, necessitating Ultraman's intervention. In episode six, General Brewer's carpet bombing of Gudis' cocoon only serves to fuel the monster's growth. Especially after UMA had already tried and failed earlier on. | |

We don't see what becomes of him, but considering the MacGuffin is next seen in Ike's hands as he returns it to the UMA team, it can't have been good... Also farmer Johnson in the Majaba episode, last seen on the run in his truck from both UMA and the monsters. | |

| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_88e11e1f | comment |
Prophecies Rhyme All the Time: In the two-part finale, the MacGuffin gives us two: "One that was bound in the deep; one that was born to the sky; one shall be called from its sleep, and darkness shall follow the cry", and "The final plague the world shall know; the one banished; the one buried; the one who sleeps below." | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Everyone thinks this of Jack when he somehow makes it back to Earth in episode one, but of course, he had help from Ultraman. Played straight, however, by Gudis, who has been incubating a second body in the arid Australian outback over the course of the first six episodes. Stanley may or may not be this as well, see Came Back Wrong below. | |

This Is Gonna Suck: In episode ten, after Morgan has humiliatingly seen off a drunkard who was getting between him and Veronica (Ryugulo's wife), he comes back with his little brother (who is taller and more muscular than he is). Morgan hesitates before bracing himself for a fight. Fortunately, Ryugulo zaps them from within his guise as the hamburger van. They aren't badly hurt, but it's enough to see them off. | |

Final Solution: Faced with the threat of Gudis' second form, General Brewer suggests deploying "the big one": a five hundred gigaton nuke.

And in episode seven, the local inspector proposes burning the entire forest to deal with the Kaiju, missing little girl be damned. Those around him are appropriately horrified. | |

It's eventually revealed that he's being controlled by Gudis, but it's not made clear if his body was revived, or he's just a puppet made in Stanley's image. He ends up transforming into the Monster of the Week by the end of the episode, and gets promptly disposed of by Ultraman. | |

Compressed Adaptation | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_bdc94cd9 | comment |
Compressed Adaptation: The 1993 manga, Ultraman G penned by Kazuhiko Shimamoto, is a retelling of the TV show's events, but in one volume, with 13 episodes' worth of content crammed in 120 pages. Naturally, the comic feels rushed and is nearly incomprehensible without watching the show beforehand. | |

Shout-Out: A subtle one: Grant points to a picture of the MacGuffin that the final two episodes are centred on and declares its prophecy to be "the apocalypse", to which Morgan asks, "now?" in an almost petulant voice. When Ultraman is facing-off with Bios in episode nine, the scene is filmed like a spaghetti western, complete with twitching fingers on both sides. In this case, Ultraman proves to be better at the quick draw. Heck, listen closely enough, and you can even make out a Dramatic Gun Cock as Ultraman "reloads" his finger-beams for the final shot! | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Near the climax of the Majaba episode, farmer Johnson, already being pursued by both UMA (for his illegal pesticides) and the Monster of the Week (for sustenance from said pesticides), decides to abandon his farm (and Sandman) and haul ass in his truck. Exactly what happens to him isn't shown, but considering there were other mutant grasshoppers out there... Also the idiot with the assault rifle at the start of episode three, when he sees a whirlwind (actually the Deganja) approaching the jeep. He doesn't get far before it overtakes him. | |

Lampshaded by Colonel Grant when he chides a naysayer with "never underestimate Ultraman." Unfortunately, this also leads to Ultraman's defeat by the Kodalar, as he sticks around a little too long, even after his Colour Timer has started wailing. | |

Crazy Survivalist | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_f1d7b320 | comment |
Crazy Survivalist: Norberg, The Mad Scientist in the UFO episode plans to escape humanity's impending self-inflicted apocalypse by hiding himself and his followers in a fleet of craft reverse-engineered from the UFO. Unfortunately for him, the original UFO itself just happens to be the Monster of the Week... | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Once, by a Gudis-controlled Stanley, and again by General Brewer's forces when he thinks he can do a better job with the Monster of the Week. Of course, he and his team fail. Horribly. | |

Laser Blade | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_f8cddfb2 | comment |
Laser Blade: Ultraman sometimes creates these from his fingertips. Especially notable in the final episode, where he nails the Kilazee through the neck with double laser blades. While it does deal the finishing blow to the huge monster, its head is somehow still attached as it falls to the ground. | |

Darkest Hour: In the first climax, when Ultraman gets sucked into Gudis' second form, and in the penultimate episode, when Ultraman actually gets defeated. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The alien plants in episode nine (that would later turn into Bios and fight Ultraman) wanted to help the Earth recover from pollution, even if it meant sacrificing human lives. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Ultraman: Towards the Future / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Early in episode four, Lloyd protests when Colonel Grant orders him to take Jack along to investigate the Monster of the Week, using Jack's fashion sense as an excuse. Later, when a bartender recognises Lloyd from TV - and reacts negatively when Lloyd jokingly asks if he was good on screen - Jack whispers that it was because of his clothes. | |
