So, you're telling me Upin and Ipin is canon in Ultraman?

And speaking of obscure characters both Sora and Z(not the Ultra but the Zetton) originated from Stage Shows and thanks to this special are now canon with the rest of the franchise.

The Absolute Conspiracy is shaping up to be something really great. I already expected to like it a fair bit, and yet I came out of that first episode thinking "wow, this is better than I thought it would be."
I think the legitimately great thing about the way the fanservice is being executed here is that, with so many obscure and relatively obscure characters, everyone watching is going to have at least that one guy that just makes them outrageously happy to see again in any context; for me, that's 80 and Cosmos all the way, and Cosmos hasn't even shown up yet! That's probably where the "better than I thought it would be" feeling came from. I expected that thrill to come off as cheap or shallow or something, and that it'd just be enjoyable in the way a Sakamoto-directed greenscreen-heavy Ultra thing always is, but I can't pretend to be above the simple joy of seeing 80 wail on a monster while his theme song plays. I just can't.

I love that you're saying this about something paying tribute to 80 and you haven't even seen Mebius yet. You're in for a real great time when you get around to that show.

Well let's see, I decided to do all Heisei Ultras in order; so... get back to me in a couple of years?

To make a long story short: Tsuburaya treated the international Ultra shows with more respect than what Toei did with Power Rangers in Akibaranger's awful parody.

Powerful Rangers was and still is hilarious.
Also 80 is... uh, handsome in his own way? You'll never mistake him for anyone else, at least. |
