"But that's not all as this is not the end of Mill Creek's involvement with the Ultraman series as they announced the expansion and extension of their current partnership with Tsuburaya in regards to Ultraman's home video and digital releases, which now include titles that weren't released in the United States in said formats. This is the first of said expanded deal."

I'm hoping this means that rights issues regarding things like Great, Powered, the old US cartoon are no longer a concern and all will receive physical treatment in due time. Z and all subsequent series Post-Taiga may finally be included as well (hopefully).

And I also hope this does include Tiga’s Final Odyssey movie this time.

Would someone please explain the Silverbloome thing?

It's just a callous extermination of characters and an entire defense team that's treated as any other alien invasion.

There's no real mourning either. Everyone who remains just seems to move on.

Plus, how the hell did Moroboshi Dan survive the destruction of MAC!? There isn't any real opportunity for him to escape when anybody who tried failed.

Also can't overlook that they were celebrating a birthday on the station before Silverbloome attacked!

I know the ratings were down, and they probably were trying to clean house and thought something shocking would help. They may also have just been doing whatever cause nobody was looking too closely or giving them directives.

I am finally getting back to watching Ultraman R/B and I have just finished watching episodes 16-18.

My friend showed me the Ultra-man Netflix series, I absolutely loved it. Dan Moroboshi is easily one of the most based characters in Toku, fight me internet. (Had to use a hyphen because the full word is banned for some reason)

I thought that it would be cool to see the combination of Konaka, Kitaura, and ,Kawasaki again.

Silverbloome isn't the only question in my mind.

How many Ultras can alter their size and mass at will? Ultraseven can fight as human-sized and even micro-sized. Z also revealed that he can also assume a human-sized state for a short time. It's not uncommon for extraterrestrials in Ultra to be able to grow on their own, but the Ultras themselves seem unable or unwilling to shrink down too often, but it has happened.

I'd file this under "They can all do it, it's just not pictured on screen".

Doesn't really make sense for this to be a technique reserved to only a few when they all have "rise" animations that show them growing in size. No one's stopping them from either not growing giant or shrinking down other than the producer of the show.

So why didn't 'Man' shrink down to fight alongside Ichigo as opposed to Ichigo growing to giant size in "Ultraman VS. Kamen Rider"?

Is it because 'Man' should always be depicted as a giant and because it's cooler to see Ichigo enlarge himself?

The second part of that last sentence is admittedly true!

Ultraman Rising was really good. I recommend it to anyone who has Netflix.
