Apparently there's an extended trailer that shows off some additional details, though some poeople might consider this info spoilers, so watch at your own discretion
https://fxtwitter.com/DrEggUpdates/s...huUxADfWA&s=19 Tbh the sword looks neat, but i'm VERY surprised to see us getting Armor like Ultraman X again... Not against the idea at all but might have been neat to see more traditional forms, (and i guess we still could), but i'm very curious to see what they do with the armor concept this time around |

I kinda feel we're doing armors again because they're cheaper than making new forms, thus meaning there's more suit budget to be used for new kaiju

I was honestly thinking last week that we haven't heard from 2024's Ultraman in a while, then I see this trailer earlier today and... Boy... I'm into this!
I notice the very Return of Ultraman aesthetic the title goes by, and given his very simplistic design (that I absolutely adore, but I'll talk more about that in a bit) with people speculating if he's Jack's son, it's also Ultraman Zero's 15th Anniversary (Yes, I saw that video and I loved it) which means expect him to pop up or Arc having a form based on him, so... ULTRAMAN ORB HURRICANE SLASHER!!! Sorry, couldn't resist. Especially as one of my favorite Orb Forms. Anyway, the design! Very simplistic, which I like, and an interesting head crest. I'll admit the face is still growing on me, but I can definitely tell they're going for a Showa Ultraman look which I do not oppose, but for some reason, I got a sort of Gaia feel from him and his changer. The device is pretty neat, albeit kind of unconventional with the cube/crystal and the rubix thingamadoodle, but I must say, I like them. Arc might not beat Blazar in design (and in some cases personality, love my Ultra Unga Bunga), but I'm really loving what I see here! Unlike the silhouettes with the New Generation Heroes, or Blazar's ominous teasers, this was a pleasant surprise to find today, and it definitely has me excited for it.

Honestly I'm surprised it took them this long to do armors again.
No surprise with the sword considering the director. |

This looks and sounds great so far.
Among everything I've read so far, Rution piques my interest. This seems to be a rare type of show were the powers aren't bestowed upon the hero by the Ultra they transform into, but another being of light entirely. And the appearance of Ultraman Arc comes from a drawing the main character made as a child, his imagination of what the "Strongest Hero" would look like. |

Yay new Ultraman! Arc's design is definitely a back to basics style after Blazar which I don't mind. Plus he has cool looking armour like X does, so that helps make him stand out.
I've wondered if we'd get a Tsujimoto directed show for a while so that'll be interesting to see! |

It has a lot of potential to be a very unique dynamic, I'd love it if Rution and Yuma are sort of co-protagonists, who are essentially equals who simply have different skill sets than each other |

I love this new trend of making Ultraman weapons actually scaled for an adult suit actor.
