Wait a minute... black repaints, shown in July... those guys are the Tamashii Nations 2019 Ultraman Exclusives, aren't they?

I don't recall any exclusives being announced. They said there would be new reveals, and I assume this is them, unless there are more to be revealed.

I'm really happy that TsuPro seems to acknowledge the English Ultra fandom; we've been blessed with way more official translations/international licensing than other toku franchises, it seems.

I suppose it helps that Ultraman is also insanely culturally popular in other English-speaking parts of the world, e.g. Southeast Asia.

-New Ultra Fight show
-All the New Generation Ultras including Zero and Grigio
-X Darkness and Geed Darkness
-Ultra Dark Killer
-Worldwide release

Man this was such a bombshell of an announcement.

These Ultra Fight things have consistently been loads of fun, especially with Sakamoto on board, so this is definitely something I'm looking forward to. Major props to Tsuburaya for explicitly making this a worldwide thing. And also not region-locking the episodes of The Ultraman they've been uploading lately. That's only kind of related, but, you know, I genuinely appreciate it.

I also have no idea why we're even considering the possibility of this getting a dub... is what I was going to say, before I had the sense to go and check if I was correctly remembering that Ultra Fight Victory was available with subtitles back when it aired. It was, but apparently it also got a dub at some point, so... who knows? It's also not impossible for them to do both, obviously.

I'm looking forward to this, the past Ultra Fight series have been really fun. I hope an English dub isn't the only way I can watch it though. The Ultra Fight Victory dub is the worst mid-90's-video-game-voice-acting kind of shit I've heard in quite a while.

Geed and X Darkness look rad.

I just realized if it's dubbed, this might be the first time we've ever heard an English-speaking Ultraman Zero (to my knowledge).

I don't know how I feel about that.

You forgot that the Ginga S and X movies got dubbed, and Zero was in them.

Was the dub any good?

I would call it trash, but that would imply that it was once good.
