And Mirai/Mebius playing the role of Marty McFly kinda was fun to see. And the cherry on top? Nakano's boyband V6 of Tiga's opening theme Take Me Higher returning to sing a new Ultraman theme. It was the perfect fan service movie I think still to this day.

Yeah, I read the SciFi Japan interview with the director about the film's premiere, and apparently there were a lot of women in the audience for a franchise with a predominantly male demographic. The director speculated that many were likely fans of Nakano.

Oh, nice! Apa khabar!

Another question I had: If "Ultraman" is a rank/title given to Ultras who serve in the Space Garrison...what exactly is Ultraman's real name then? Does he just not have one? Or is it just "Shodai", because that's what TsuPro seems to refer to him as, on occasion.

Also, I just got to the Ep. 37-38 two-parter of Return of Ultraman and JEEZUS. This show went from 0 to 100 real quick. It started out as pretty light, typical Ultraman fare but oof. Even though I knew what would happen going in, it was still pretty rough to watch. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but this two-parter alone makes Return a must-watch for my money.
