Ultraman Taiga First Look
This month's scans give us our first tease at Ultraman Taiga, the new Ultra Warrior of this year's series who, if rumours are correct, will be joined by Ultraman Titus, Fuma and Tregear.

Of what we can see, must say I am enjoying the design so far.
|
Reminds me of Taro. :rock:

Looks cool. I'm not sold on the concept of having this many new Ultraman in one show though, especially not after R/B.

Now, why wasn't this on the front page? I missed it! My first thought was he's Ultraman Tregia but twithout the mask thing he wears, but he's not. He looks cool though!
|
Is it just me, or he wearing a Gekichanger-ish gauntlet on his right arm? Could be his transformation device/weapon.

:rock:Reiwa Ultraman no.1 is ULTRAMAN TAIGA: SON OF TARO:rock: Starts July 6th 9:00 AM JST every Saturday. The story goes according to the official tv tokyo website that aliens have secretly been immigrating to Earth unbeknownst to the majority of Earthlings. Hiroyuki Kudo is an agent of E.G.I.S.(pronounced just like the famous shield Aegis), working to protect the peace. But what he doesn't know is that he carries Ultraman Taiga's particles of light within his body. Also, from what I picked up here and there Hiroyuki will also transform into Titas and Fuma, so Spider-man: Identity Crisis. :lolol Honestly I love Taiga's design, it feels like a super-updated Taro and rightfully so since his pops is THE ULTRAMAN TARO. It's also interesting that Hiroyuki's three Ultraman personalities are each representative of the three main tribes; Taiga representing the Silver tribe, Titas the Red tribe, and Fuma the Blue tribe. |

Fumma's design is a little too generic for me. He looks indistinguishable for any other blue Ultra or form.
That aside, I really like everything here. It feels like it's been a long time since we've had the whole host and Ultra thing going on for our main character, and that there's three of them makes me think we're in for some Imagin-like shenanigans. |
So Father of Ultra is now "Grandfather of Ultra"? :p
Anyways, one guy transforming into three different Ultra is okay. I was assuming it was three entirely separate Ultra to surpass R/B in numbers. The idea of having Taro's son as the hero sounds cute; I'm on board with that. It would be cool if Ginga drops in as an older brother of sorts. The suits are okay. The main one I like best, the blue one is kinda bad and the buff one... no, just no. It looks horrible. What I like best so far: No fusions. Instead of borrowing powers from other Ultra we now have entirely new ones which just happen to be similar to some we know already because they hail from the same place. I hope it stays that way, but I fear they'll add legacy items as transformation trinkets regardless. I also hope that we'll get official subs again. |
So will this be kind of like den-o were we have 3 or 4 characters that provide power for the main character, and the 3 or 4 characters each get focus and character arcs?
|
Somebody took too much steroids isn't it?
|
Everything about these guys looks pretty cool. I can't wait to find out more about the collectible device though. It looks like they're going to be modeled after Ultraman color timers which is actually pretty cool.
I also like that we have another show that stars Ultras that come from planets already established in older shows. It really adds to the idea that despite coming from different realities, some of which where the titular Ultra is the only Ultra of that universe, Ultras are always connected to one another in at least subtle ways. Its a nice contrast to the stand alone nature of Rider and Sentai. |
I like that the press release is in English.
I really like what I see/read here. Host of 3 different Ultras, each from pre-established planets, being the Son of Taro and the R/B movie villain playing a part all sounds interesting! The designs are really good. Titus is ridiculous and great and I like that he has the star on his head and chest like Jonias. The Taiga Spark is the least toyetic looking thing we've seen in Ultraman for a while too. |
So re-reading the bios of the three Ultras, I have a feeling Taiga's main struggle at first will be trying to overcome the whole "I hope dad notices me" while saying "Screw you dad, Let me live my life" type of struggle. Titas seems like the moral compass of the Tri Squad, and Fuma seems like he will be someone who likes to play by his own rules. I guess we can expect a Leo and Raph from TMNT or Scott and Logan from X-Men type of relationship amongst the two of them.

Summary of catalog;
Kaiju's from left to right (names tentative): Hellberos, Segmegel, Nightfang, Gymaira(from Ultraman 80). Photon Earth Key Holder which accesses Taiga upgrade form, Taiga Photon Earth Tregear Eye, transformation device of Tregear The other Taiga Accessories. So far they are split between three items. The Key Holders, which are the main transformation pieces. The bracelets, which are for the past Ultras. And the rings, which are for the kaijus. |
Collectibles that are stylish and don't immediately look like something out of a gashapon machine? Is this really a New Generation Ultraman lineup?
I say that as someone who likes the Spark Dolls, by the way. |
As far as collectible things go, the accessories are waaay more interesting than the R/B crystals.
Photon Earth looks really cool. |

Taro bracelet |
This looks great. The gimmick looks a lot better than past years efforts, legacy Ultra seem to be toyline only which I like, and the first super form looks amazing. I really hope the show is good.
|
The Ultra series from the last four have been phenomenal to me, so I don't see this as being any different. I like the designs, although I get some serious Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon vibes out of them.

They really gotta start introducing female Ultras lol. Geed got away with it since he's just a clone but still.
I like how the three different Ultras are just a different take on the standard three forms of an Ultra. And they better have an upgrade for Titas and Fuma too. |
Well, we just recently got Ultrawoman Grigio and there's currently rumors about another female Ultra named Ultrawoman Kaguya who supposedly is Taro's wife and has some connection to Tregear.
|
Is it just me or does Taiga's Photon Earth design look like GARO? :lolol
|
Toy commercial. I guess anyone who looked at the scans enough figured this out but now I get how this stuff works. Also, the bracelets apparently activate the beam so it seems like the Legacy-items this year are really not tied to transformations, but instead their power can be channeled for a finishing attack. I like that a lot.

Just wanna share that the theme song is sung by Takuma Terashima who will voice Taiga and is also known for roles such as Rimuru's previous past life self Satoru from the light novel/anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and Kujaku from BLEACH to name a few.
