Main takeaway here is that they actually dubbed Zero's "remember to subscribe" message from the end of the Z simulcasts, and it's just as funny as the rest of the dub.

They did it.

WOW they are firing on all cylinders with this! Just WOW! Not only did they bring one of the greatest teachers in toku history and give him his moment to shine, but Kane freakin Kosugi back in the Ultra game!

TFW I don't recognize any of these guys except Hikari, Zoffy and Taro.

Oh well, I'll probably get to know each one decently in this one.

Yup, that's the 'draw'! It's a buuuunch of obscure dudes.

Wait, you didn't recognise Zero? :p

In the episode itself. Of course I recognize a good amount of people in the opening.

You know I'll be honest I wasn't expecting all the Orb References, that was pretty cool.

Ribut is kinda new to the scene, Great and Powered are obscure ones whose productions were at Austrailia and America during the late 80s to early 90s. 80 was a show that kinda is a product of its time in that his alter ego was a middle school teacher, which was a total benchmark move taking notes from then famous drama series Kinpachi-sensei, a drama series about a passionate teacher as well. Max was the show that resulted after Nexus was finished and Tsuburaya went back to the drawing board.

It's really cool that they're pulling in some of these more obscure Ultras for this series. I'm especially glad to see Max, of course, but it's also neat to see 80 back. I always thought it sucked that they were the only two older heroes to get left out of Z's power-up medals. Kinda wish Max wasn't the one that got captured, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

Definitely. Really curious how they are gonna highlight Ultraman Neos and Ultraseven 21(For those unfamiliar, it is read Two-One). And I know it is evident in my previous post, but I was shocked they managed to get Kane on board to voice Powered in the English dub.

I'm happy that Ribut is taking center stage. He impressed me the last time we saw him, and now he's getting some backstory.

Was a little sad that the first episode ended with a passing cameo from Great and Powered cause it was really getting interesting.

P.S.: With all this global Ultraman material, what would Hideaki Tsuburaya think? He's been a little nitpicky in the past and I don't fully agree with his assumptions that Ultraman has nothing to offer to the World (https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/06...aman-globally/)!
