UltraMan X Episode 21: This was an epic penultimate episode. I love that it's tying back to the beginning with both Greeza, the monster X threw into the sun and Daichi's parents contacting him. Also I was happy that the two other cast members who are in the opening credits that barely got anything actually talked and had characters for a minute lol. I loved X talking to the XiO team showing how bad this threat is, and I loved that Daichi revealed his secret identity. It's really a great moment when they do that with the team. I just love how much heart everyone's putting into it in the battle for their friends, families, and the whole world. I loved when they had Daichi, Asuna, and Hayato together fighting. Also loved Rui and Dr. Gourman upgrading the shields and Hayato's conversation with his father. I am crazy with emotions with that ending, I'm glad Hayato survived but man this Greeza is something else. Also that was great symbolism at the end too. This really is the darkest before the dawn, I can't wait for the end of this, well I can because this show has been one of the best UltraMan series I've seen.

UltraMan X Episode 22: THAT WAS A FREAKING AMAZING AND SATISFYING FINALE!!! WOOOO!!! EXCITEMENT LEVELS ARE CALMING DOWN EVENTUALLY BUT THIS WHOLE POST MIGHT BE IN CAPS! Lol Okay I won't be that ridiculous but still I loved this episode a whole lot, just the emotions and the heart of the entire XiO team and how far they went to fight back against Greeza and to save Daichi and X. I don't really want to spoil anything but how Daichi and X defeat Greeza was totally amazing and I love that it connects with Daichi's dream. This was such a good series and such a great cast, I can't wait for the movie. I hope there is a Season 2 but if not I'm happy with this season a lot, this is one of my favorite UltraMan series. I am just going to ride this high right now. WOOOO!!!!

I'm gonna give a review on Ultraman X in my next video blog. Want me to post the video when I upload it???

Ultraman X is the best Toku show of 2015 (Not that there's a lot of competition there), what a great goddamn show. Let's hope we do get another series or something as good as X for the 50th anniversary.

Agreed on all counts.

I don't know if I'd say UltraMan X was the best Toku Show of 2015 because I love all of them equally so far, but damn UltraMan X was damn excellent and one of my favorite shows.

Finished Ultraman X and this is without a doubt my favorite Toku show 2015. Drive was okay-ish near the end, Ghost is kinda lame right now & Ninninger and Garo are just not for me, but Ultraman X is great. Okay the story is pretty non-existent if you think about it, you have themes which carry over between episodes but in the end it’s just one monster after another.

But still, everything about this show is great. The suit-work and action are fantastic, the characters are good (The lab-girl was slightly annoying but they toned her down a lot and she did get her own episode were she wasn’t so hyperactive and generally funny), very well portrait and acted.

The drama and comedy was on point, even the silliest episodes like the football match were really enjoyable. I also appreciated the other Ultraman in the show (especially Nexus with the spotlight on the female lieutenant – that was awesome!) even though I had never seen them before. Same with the monsters, I didn’t know them but I could appreciate their legacy in this universe.

I really hope they get the gang together for a second season. I think there is a movie coming out sometime? Thought I heard about that somewhere. But I want season 2, I really do.

And a damn figure Tamashii, like really? Where is my Ultra-Act Ultraman X? Jesus. I know they’re formatting the line into SH Figuarts right now, but man I just want X. And SH Monsterarts Cyber Gomora please. Okay, that will never happen. At least I got the Spark Doll.

Just watched the last two episode of Ginga S - really great finale to an excellent series. Are there any subs up for the follow-up movie? Fan or official?

I finished Ultraman X. It was a good show with some likable characters.although I do wish the characters that weren't Daichi and Asuna got a little more added to their charters, like the two tech officers. Hell they really didn't do much other than sit around and give updates and alerts until he the last two eps. But it's only 22 episodes what can you do. And on a bigger plus the toy collectible tie in, which has become really prevalent in sentai and KR now a days, wasn't that bad. I mean it was there but it didn't scream out "Hey look kids, a new toy to beg for" every other episode. Hopefully I'll get to see the Ultraman X movie.

A good article about how UltraMan inspired anime and more.

Thanks for sharing, this was an interesting read.

You're welcome I enjoyed that article too.


Anyways I'm watching the original UltraMan series and are the suits of the original monsters the same or did they make new better versions of them? Because Red King and Pigmon looked the same.

I'm fairly certain that the Pigmon and Red King suits were the same for all their appearances in the original series. Although, Red King got re-purposed in-between his first and second appearances and it really shows.

If you're asking whether they're still the same now, I'm afraid the original suits are long gone.

Yeah, they modified Red King a lot and used it for other monsters as well. Of course, there's no way that the old suits are still around now.

Yeah, they have a bad tendency to eventually rot even in good conditions.

That makes me wonder what the process of making these suits is and what materials they use.

I think the main material they used was latex, which is subject to dry rot over time.

Ah well they make excellent duplicates because Red King looks exactly like he did in the newer shows that he did in the first series.

I wonder if they have molds to make copies with like makeup artists.

That would probably save a lot of time for them.

There's going to be a new series in July, which is actually the 50th anniversary of the original series. Awesome to have another show to ook forward to.

Perfect timing! I'm gonna make a Kaiju Monster be the Card Of The Week at my Yu-Gi-Oh! forum! There's a monster that's got elements of Dark Lugiel & Ultraman Belial!

Awesome. I've been missing my weekly kick of new Ultraman. I hope it's a follow-up to X like Ginga S was to Ginga.

I hope so too. I'd like to see the team together again.

It'd be great for X to get a partner. Besides Gomora.

My true wish is that he teams up with Shou and Hikaru for an entire season, that would be the best thing ever. Shou, Hikaru, and Daichi were one of the best team ups.

Though a new partner for X would be great.

Yeah! And I want to see Ginga Victory use the powers of Cosmos, Max & Nexus.

That would be cool. UltraMan Ginga X could be the next series which would be awesome.

Maybe. But how would X fuse with those two??? He needs a partner of his own.

A new female Ultra character would be a nice change of pace. I would also like to see Ultraman Noa appear again. Another thing I think Tsuburaya should do is complete the Belial story arc. He needs to have some kind of proper closure.

I wouldn't think X would need to fuse with anyone. I also think that if X does get another series I don't think he should fuse like Ginga and Victory did if he does get his own partner.

Very true. I have noticed that only Taro & his students fuse regularly. Cosmos wasn't a student of Taro's. But Mebius & Ginga were and those two fused with their partners to become a powered up form of themselves.

That's interesting. Did Mebius do the Ace fusion like Hikaru and Shou did?

Ace Fusion??? He fused with his predecessors to become Infinity to fight a Yapool powered Super Kaiju. Then he fused with his partner Hikari and his human friends to become Phoenix Brave.

I have to agree. The last time they created a heroic female Ultra for TV was Beth in 1987.

I don't count the animated Ultras as Ultras.

Tsuburaya does. There was even a full length (50 episode) anime series done by Sunrise.

He kind of already got that in the Ultra Zero Fight miniseries.

His ghost takes over Zero's body, brings back some of his generals, and kills the Ultimate Force Zero. This leads Zero to needing to get snapped out of his depression and coming back with his gold and silver form.

I know. But still. I prefer live action Ultras. I owe everything to Great for being the first Ultra I was exposed to.

That's a bit silly to do when Tsuburaya themselves acknowledge their existence by also creating live-action versions of them.

Those guys appeared briefly.
