Ultraman: Rising is a 2024 animated superhero/kaiju movie directed by Shannon Tindle (Kubo and the Two Strings, Lost Ollie), written by Tindle and Marc Haimes (Kubo), and co-directed by John Aoshima (Gravity Falls, Ducktales), based on the iconic Tokusatsu franchise Ultraman. The film stars the voices of Christopher Sean, Gedde Watanabe, Tamlyn Tomita, Keone Young, and Julia Harriman. Industrial Light & Magic handles the animation.Sean plays Ken Sato, a baseball superstar with the secret ability to transform into the towering hero Ultraman.

Small Parent, Huge Child: An Interspecies Adoption variant of this trope is shown in the trailer. When not transformed into Ultraman, Ken struggles with raising a monstrous child that towers over him and spits lasers.

Mythology Gag
 Ultraman: Rising / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: A rather subtle one occurs with the main character's name, crossing into Fridge Brilliance. Ken Sato, an Ultra host raising a baby kaiju, shares his name with Ultraman Ken - better known as the Father of Ultra. The kaiju seen in the teaser uses the same roar as past kaiju from the Ultra Series such as Pagos and Neronga, which itself was previously used by monsters from the Godzilla franchise such as Varan and Baragon. A shot towards the end of the teaser trailer features storefronts referencing classic foes of the original Ultraman, with a Bemular-themed ramen shop, a coffee shop named after Antlar and a pair of black-and-white posters referencing Alien Dada.

Top-Heavy Guy: This version of Ultraman, being a CG model instead of portrayed with a suit, has a noticeably buff and far more muscular upper body in comparison to the size of his legs, as seen in the trailer.

comment
Breaking Old Trends: While past Ultras have been portrayed as capable of communicating with humans (often through implied telepathy), this movie's Ultraman is the first whose speech is treated as vocal, as demonstrated when, near the end of the trailer, a crowd of onlookers understand his attempts to communicate with the baby kaiju.
