Also I think the stylized intro of some New Gen shows comes from the stylized OP for the original show?

And Akiko is the same actress as Yuriko from Ultra Q, right? I always thought that was funny. I keep expecting to see Jun or Ippei show up.

I still have no idea to this day why the SSSP had Hoshino just randomly there or interacting with everybody. Was he a trainee the whole time?

I would totally watch an Ide and Arashi buddy cop show.

Personally, it seemed to me that Ide was the real protagonist of this team show, and Hayate just turned into Ultraman. At the very least, Ide definitely got the most character development.
Speaking of kaiju from the original show, I wish Wuu would come back more often. I remember that the mystical yokai doesn't really fit in with the sci-fi backbone of the franchise, but I still feel like there are a lot of interesting stories to come up with this kaiju.
