Why Ultraman Blazar Is Better Than A New Gaia

- In my first video ever, I predicted that the next Ultraman Series would be an Ultraman Gaia reboot that reused kaiju and ideas from that series...but we got Ultraman Blazar instead. In this review video, The Toku Professor discusses why this is for the better.

Would you have preferred a New Generation Gaia or is Blazar the better option?
why not both
I think blazer bc he’s cool
I prefer having Blazar because if Gaia had a Recreation in the new generation Era people would lost trust in Tsuburaya for Recreating Another Heisei Show
Normally I’d go with Blazar, but you can’t just promise T.D.G. and just throw Gaia under the bus. Gaia’s the best one yet their leaving it out >:(
(Flip side Blazar’s gonna have gavadon, who I’ve been waiting to return, but that just as easily coul have happened in ultraman gunner.)
I need grounder so much
Blazar is like the Kamen Rider Amazon of Ultraman with how feral he acted along with his primal fighting style, though not as violent as KR Amazon with him going Mortal Kombat finishing moves at his enemies.
Then we get him doing sillier things like making his spear into a fishing rod, or going "hot hot" when fighting Tangular.
@@brettwood1351 Tsuburaya Would Have an Chance to Kill Off Gamu and Destroy Fujimiya Better Make it like Decade 21 and OOO 10th Anniversary Movie.
Gaia got a new form instead of a new generation. Gaia is still active, and I would like her to appear in a TV series in the future.
Gaia doing something that Tiga and Dyna can't.. making a New Gen look for himself instead of having a different ultra as New Gen version of himself.😂

The Emi undercover episode was SO truly awesome. The robot winning fights, the mystery, EMI being superb and kicking butt... The Anri episode as well...
I also liked the human-sized action scenes.
I’m actually glad that a bunch of classic monsters from Ultraman’s past were brought back over and over. It helped me memorize their names. Also, the history of videos from this channel also helped. So, thanks to both of you.
Yeah it cemented the monsters as more than animals but actual characters in the series.
Regarding Trigger and Decker we did find out a lot other behind the scenes regarding what happened. Trigger was pretty much botched because of executive meddling. As the original idea was for the show was to focus on 3 different ultras. Basically think of it as if Tiga’s companions weren’t dead. But it was changed and a defense team was shoved in because Z made it popular again.
As for Decker the only reason it was made as a new gen Dyna was because Tsuburaya didn’t have the budget to make a brand new defense team and vehicles. So they had to reuse the ones from Trigger.
Then you’ve got the returning Kaiju. Which is also a budget problem as they didn’t have enough to make a ton of new Kaiju. Thankfully they were able to convince Bandai this time and now we’re getting more original Kaiju.
Personally I don’t mind the toyetic side too much. As I’m a fan of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai where it’s a lot more prevalent and I’m used to it.
Well said
Good God Bandai is annoying to Deal with!
Interestingly I found this on the Ultraman Wiki which makes me wonder if Blazar is a new generation Gaia despite not being promoted as such.
"In a TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION interview, main director Kiyotaka Taguchi sees Ultraman Blazar as ideologically similar to Ultraman Gaia, in the sense that both shows break away from the world view of the previous two works and aim to portray "hard science fiction"."
So Okuno/Sougo > Kentaro Maeda/Ikki
Takuya Negishi/Hikaru > Wataru Hyuga/Daiji
Ai Kakuma/Mashiro > Ayaka Imoto/Sakura

@@saiyaujeff8171 ur mom doesn't love you , ur dad left u, your grandma doesn't love u and u will grow up to become adam sandler
And damn was Taguchi right
The introduction of brand new kaiju every episode is a major part of the reason that the Ultra Series had grown to be the phenomenon that it is. Bringing back old kaiju is fun but only ONCE IN A WHILE to make it special.
This. When Gomora got a major role in Ultra Galaxy it really felt special. He wasn't used that much prior and he wasn't actually that popular before (he actually lost a popularity poll to Telesdon, his episode in Max was supposed to be a Telesdon episode, cause Telesdon won the poll, not sure why they ended up using him instead, but whatever). But after that he's made apperances in practically every single show from that point on, making him one of the most overused kaiju series. He used to be my favourite, but isn't even in my top 10 anymore, he just got stale after the 9th time in a row they used him. Gomora isn't the only one that this happened to, RedKing, King Joe, Zetton also appear way too frequently
@@friendlyneighborhoodkelbea7258 Blame the costs of the suits. They are expensive, even in the seventies you could see when suits had budget issues in some the later Showa shows, and looked worse than the standard suits for the original Ultraman. We'll either be seeing the Blazer Monsters a few times again, or they'll get recycled.
These shows are expensive to make, for certain, but I doubt the costs of the suits are that much of a factor anymore, when the Ultra series is a powerhouse moneymaking franchise in much of the world. @@brettwood1351
@@brettwood1351True.. those returning kaiju on Taro series really have the kaiju suit in poor quality. I also remember Toho trying to use crowdfund to make new Gigan suit and that thing cost.. A LOT. Now imagine Tsupro having to create many new kaiju each ep, the cost is definitely beyond the Gigan suit.
It's actually a miracle that both FIELDS and Bandai actually give more budget to Tsupro to make new kaiju. But it's also understandable since both company is gaining huge profit from Ultraman.
@@Villagerwarrior I'm certainly glad it hasn't gone the way Kamen Rider has with a bunch of Ultras fighting each other every season.
Me and a buddy of mine called Blazar "Ultraman Amazon" Mainly because of the way he sounds. But that's also my favorite part about Blazar.
My love goes to the Ultraman Regulos stuff. Best new Ultra and lore to come out of Tsuburaya in a while
We love when they expand the tsuburaya cinematic universe 😂
So far blazar is wholly original from ultra to Kaiju so far and that's honesty so amazing and unexpected
Also, I wonder if this is a sign that they're now profitable enough with international distribution and not fighting legal battles that they can go back to basics instead of focusing on toys.
We can also thank Sevenger. He was picked for Z because the director thought he looked cute, and would make a great backpack hanger. And then sold a lot of merch. The Nursedesei and Terrafacer toys probably did well too, and they are pushing that DX Earthgaron like crazy. And it's working, I've seen a lot of people want that.
@@brettwood1351 ironic to me since king Joe and the guts hawk/falcon are the ones I was most interested in getting lmao. But yea I can totally see how those would help. Now if only someone would get that gorgeous off brand Mecha Godzilla in stock so I can buy him🥲
So glad they going back to basic for this one. Blazer has been the least toy-focused ultra series for the past 10 years, heck it gets to the point where I was worried on whether this show will last long without something to profit, but it fills me w joy upon learning it'll have the same 25 ep like previous series
I really like how Ultraman Decker got a final form, where as Ultraman Dyna didn’t get such a thing. Unless you count the stage show.
Happy 1 year anniversary professor! I can't wait to see what this next year has in store.
Ok just finished watching and I 100% agree. I don't necessarily hate Trigger and Decker, but they really made all the issues the new gen series had so much more clearer. Blazar is a step-no, more like a leap in the right direction.
This video was awesome. I've accepted Blazar being better than a New Generation Gaia, but this vid gave me views and points on the situation I haven't thought about before.
I do have to say I would LOVE to see some monsters from Gaia reappear on Blazar, just like Gazort on Trigger and Mons-Ahgar on Decker.
It Also Affects On Tsuburaya Bankruptcy Which is Why They Will Never Celebrate Gaia Especially Agul After New Generation Heroes was made.
Yeah I agree on the returning kaiju from Gaia, they deserve more love. Given Blazar's tone I think Blitz Blotz or Wolf Gas would be good choices
It'd be cool if we get King of Mons, but I'm not sure how they'll get him to reappear given his unique origins
@@saiyaujeff8171 ur mom doesn't love you , ur dad left u, your grandma doesn't love u and u will grow up to become adam sandler
Yeah i miss Gan-Q.
The only New Gen ultraman that I like as human host are Gai from orb which he seems chill and cool until someone ruin his bath room and icecream.
As someone who has only seen New Generation Ultraman series I never had a problem with them, but I am all for them improving going forward.
I spotted most of the references!

Happy birthday Professor! 🎈🎉🎂
Happy 1st anniversary Toku Professor! 🎉
I agree with everything said in the video! I'm new to the franchise and Ultraman Blazar is exactly what I've been looking for!
Good to know you feel to same way about this new gen of ultraman, Blazar was a blessing😌.
Happy anniversary professor! I only found you in the last month, but your content is top notch! As a lifelong Godzilla fan, this is my first foray into other toku! Keep up the great work!
P.S: could you please do a video on Jet Jaguar? He’s my favorite.
Blazar has an easter egg to Gaia and that is his inconic pose
Don't forget his default transformation rise where instead of the final shot being where it zooms in on his face, he flies up and out of the background.
I'd be really interested in knowing what you think about modern Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, since most of the problems you had with the new ultraman shows are found in the other two too
7:30, imma diagree with you here, we definitely need a Ultraman Gopher !!!
No, we don't. It would be bad
Since the new blazar series so far brought back old monsters that hasnt appeared in decades i want to see Geronimon Roberuga and Sabotendar again Geronimon especially its in my favorite ultraman episode
Happy Anniversary Professor! I love your channel and I'm so glad you've kept it up for this long! Also I think that most of your opinions in this video are on point, except Imo having young protagonists isn't necessarily a bad thing... but I do see how someone could find that annoying.
Anyway Congrats again on your 1st year, and I can't wait for your next upload 🎉

Honestly.....Ultraman Blazar captured what makes Ultraman Gaia great, which is the Defense Teams do something and become the best support in modern era (kinda like the Night Raiders)
🎉Happy 1st anniversary🥳
I think that if Decker had a movie, they could have introduced a new Gaia as Deckers Master or friend, to test if the people would want a series based around him.
But Decker did have a movie.
Fantastic as always
*possible spoilers*

Blazar will have more toys in the form of a sword, bow and a 'form' but don't be deter by this. Kiyotaka Taguchi (director of Blazar) has said that he has discussed with the higher ups to make the series and main Ultra less toyetic and to instead sell the new kaiju toys in which the higher ups agreed to do so + Blazar's new form will come in the form of an armor and his form progression will work similarly to Gaia (all of this was based off my memory while scrolling through the Ultraman subreddit, so take it with a grain of salt).
They should bring back melba because melba is of my favourite kaiju along side golza
They should bring him back because we only see fusion kaijus that have Melba's parts on them like Tri king five king and golba
I really like to see melba as an normal kaiju and not an fusion kaiju
I thought ultraman trigger was gonna bring him back as fire or ice version just like golza but sadly no
I hope ultraman blazar bring him back
Happy 1 tear aniversary of the toku professor
History of Red King, eh? Will there be a explanation on why he isn't red, and will it feature his cousing, Black King? Also, will we learn about Red King's kaiju girl variant as well?
so far I'm not joining ultraman Balazer but I'm happy get new monsters but the episode are not that great but I wish we did get a new Gaia series then a Blazar this is just my thoughts.
Tbh, Ultraman Gaia works better as its own thing since it's got potential for sequels and stuff (if it wanted to as a separate project like that new Ultra 7 thing going on) because seeing Trigger and Decker...man, after Z...it seems the quality of the stories have dipped in favor for 'Let's make an anniversary because it sells'.
Another of these issues you pointed out are quite true too. If it was New Gen Tiga, why is it that there's Ultra 7 and Ultraman Jack references when the actual shows they were based on DIDN'T rely on previous monsters and themes. I perfectly recalled Tiga using its own soundtrack instead of the Wan-da-ba-dan theme used in Ultraman Jack. No disrespect to the OG but man, it gets grating EVERYTIME we hear it. Marlulu who is a Metron isn't even a Tiga monster. If they wanted to make New Gen 7 and New Gen Jack, I get it but these are not that...these were meant to be NEW GEN TIGA AND NEW GEN DYNA respectively.
Blazar and Gaia are based. Nuff said.
Pretty sure the director of Z also directed X, Orb, and now Blazar, so that could explain why new gen is so hit or miss. (Kiyotaka Taguchi)
Imo Orb, X, Z, and Blazar are top notch of the new gen. Orb is actually my all time favourite, barely edging out mebius
Professor: Hooray! No more toy-weapons!
Tsuburaya revealing new Blazar weapon, Chilsonite sword: 💀
And the fact that they’re also bringing back Red King in the next episode too 💀
Eh to me the chilsonite sword feels *earned* honestly.
Does anyone else besides me want to see Baltan return? He's been gone way too long.
There are 25 Easter eggs
do you think a kamen rider evangellion movie would work?
Kaiju is definitely not the main focus for Ultraman toys. Ultraman himself is the star. Growing up in east asia every boy want Ultraman figures, no kid would want Kaiju figures.
In Asia where Ultraman is much more popular I think that's certainly True, but here in the west I feel like people are fond of the monsters more.
from a marketing standpoint, and a kid-wanting-toys standpoint, once you have your Ultraman figure, you don't need anymore, but you do need figures of the other characters so they can fight when you play. And the entire Ultra series has been focused on the kaiju. There is also a concept that a hero is defined by the villains they fight. I say that concept is strong in the Ultra Series.
To elaborate further I think it comes down to cultural diffirences. In the US, when Transformers came out a lot of kids wanted their Optimus Prime figure, but even more kids wanted to have a figure of Megatron, Starscream or Soundwave. I don't know how to explain it, but I believe it just comes down to cultural diffirences. A lot of people in the US are captivated by the bad guys more.
@@friendlyneighborhoodkelbea7258 If there's one thing Darth Vader and Stormtroopers did, it's sell a lot of toys. And thanks the them the villains often ended up with the better style.
They turned ultraman into giant power rangers!
You put into words something I like in shows, and why I can't really get into the new gens: Childish protagonists. I guess I like characters with some history, which explains why I love KR Blade, Kabuto & Geats, but could not get into most other Heisei-Reiwa KR shows. As for Ultraman, I think Decker does not have the same issue. Kanata, while not stoic, is still mature to a degree.
As for toy pandering, yeah focusing on the cool kaiju to sell a majority of the toys really should be the way forward for the Ultra series. I personally don't mind toy pandering that much if its done tastefully, like in KR Geats or even Ultraman Decker, where the prop should not look toyish, and should be used more often. Decker's form change cards & weapons fit this quite well (unlike the other new gens like Z's pickaxe).
Geats is a Fucking Awful Series Similar to Faiz
I Do Feel a Little Bad For Hating Keiwa So Much Now That He is a Piece Garbage like Kusaka
I Appreciate it Way More With Saber and Revice in my mind
Revice is probably good because Saber is Still The Best Reiwa Series
I Still Hold Geats Along Zero-One is Likely The Worst Reiwa Series With Poor Writing and Terrible Characters + Both Series Written by Takahashi Getting A Cliffhanger Ending Makes a Lot of Sense in That Context like Faiz and Hibiki's 2nd half!.

I won’t lie. I haven’t been around the Ultraman Series for a LONG time! I’ve Just recently got into the Series as of 2021, buying the Complete Ultraman Rosso/Blu DVD that also came with their Film.
I Skipped Taiga entirely since I didn’t know it was out, but here on CZcams I managed to Discover that The Parent Company FINALLY GOT THE COMPLETE RITES BACK to the Franchise to Start SYMO-CASTING Everything, Even Dubbing the Franchise In Eng!
So I wasn’t really Bothered By Trigger or the Silly Catchphrase, but I understood that if someone Binged Watched that series, that it would Drive them insane!
But I Loved Decker and Blazar, both Shows, even with all their faults showed that Tsubaraya was willing to experiment and even Evolve their Format. We even had some interesting Antagonists brought into both!
So Yeah, my re-entry into this Franchise again was Trigger, and it wasn’t a Bad way to start. Still, Blazar was Definitely the Breath of Fresh Air that Ultraman series needed! The Monsters especially were the highlight of each episode.
I'm glad they are taking the tactic they are here. I do like to see some old monsters but it's kinda bad when you feel it's just because of who's suits are on hand, or who they think they will get the most usage out of. We've all got our 1 episode monster we want to see again.
For forms, well it just got out of hand. What made Tiga's forms work was they all did something, and they never felt obsolete. He used what fit the situation. These days, we get the better than the previous forms midseason, then the final, sometimes even a extra final in a movie (Looking at you Geed). I kinda liked X's Mons Armors, and Cyber Gomora, wish we'd seen more Cyber Kaiju, but man that show had too many gimmicks.
I also wonder how the Monster Rancher game did, since it was straight up the Kaiju.
It's...complicated, the famitsu charts would tell you it fell flat on its face, but the official twitter account issued an apology because the physical copies sold out in many store fronts.
The only thing I can read from this is bandai has less faith on the launch sales than you do.
One thing I liked about Z is that his form changes never did truly go obsolete after Delta Rise Claw's debut since all of his forms had a unique purpose, and the Barabas fight demonstrated that using Delta Rise Claw doesn't guarantee an automatic win for him
@@yanchunchan9321 Helps Gamma Illusion is so cool with the magician abilities, and Delta Rise shines a lot because it's the form that gets to use Belirok.
@@brettwood1351 agreed, Gamma Future's insane variety of beam attacks are really impressive, and I like how Z carries himself similarly to Agul while using this form, since the blue Ultra technically is a component of this form. And Delta Rise Claw being the only form that can use Beliarok is a good reason to have the final form show up in every fight.
But the other two forms are cool too. I like how Alpha Edge's spinning Slugger nunchucks don't ever really disappear, you'd think with how CGI-intensive the attack looks he'd never use it past ep 1. And Beta Smash consistently acts like a pro wrestler, even in the first Destrudos fight where you'd expect him to act more seriously. These small quirks lends identity to each of these fusion forms and makes them quite memorable.
this is very exciting. I just need to figure out where I can watch it! what streaming service I mean.
You can watch it for free on CZcams, on Tsuburaya Productions' official channel. At least you can in the US
@@thetokuprofessorAwesome! thank you so much! your videos are fantastic and I've been watching them all week. I'm happy with the three min intro to Ultraman but I would some day to see more thorough longer version of that and especially one of Spectreman... the one I grew up with in Brasil. I do live in the states now so I'm ecstatic about being able to watch this.
Can you make a video about Zigra please. He is quite unique in the Gamera franchise.
Do you think Blazar would have a secondary ultra? Do you think it would be beneficial to the story?
Right now we’re in the cast presentation phase of the show so we don’t have too much over arching plot, but when it picks up I’m very curious of how it’ll go
Personally I don’t think this show will have a secondary Ultra at all, but I am VERY interested in seeing one more ultra with similar design concepts as Blazar
I think it won't cause we already have a side-kick in form of Mechagodzi- I mean Garon, but it could still work.
I hope not. I hate secondary ultras, some of them are good, but most of the time, they completely stole the time to develop the main ultra. Trigger Dark almost killed the Trigger series for me, not only does his existence makes no sense, but having him be a separate character instead of Trigger's berserk form that he struggles to keep in control greatly damages Kengo/Trigger's development as well. Kengo's writing could've been saved had they gone through with what I suggest but eh, what's done is done.
@@SonicHedgehog1991 Agul is a secondary and he's goated
I say no. That would take away focus from the main hero
A secondary Ultra only works if the series has 35+ episodes to let them develop while not taking away the main Ultras spotlight.
I found every single reference from gokai yellow gold mode to the zetton figure
Bro most of japanese media actually focus on childish main characters and bro they act like kids because most of them are kids 15 or 17 you know and the toys aren't really different from new techniques you think beating a monster with a new toy is bad imagine how it feels when an ultraman pulls out a never before seen technique out there A@@ sorry for the language but it's true your not criticising spider man for acting like kid and about the returning kaiju yeah that's an issue sooooo ah yeah other then that ultraman new generation is good in my opinion
I will become a сatholic just to pray that Blazar will keep the same quality he has until the very end!🙏
Mr toku can you make a Sadorla and dorako kaiju bio please
I think giving Gaia a new form (super supreme) was the best thing they could have done, we still get some Gaia novelty, but its elegant and not tainting the original show. And Blazar is a really good show so far. Really enjoying it!
One thing that I appreciate is that the show’s vibe feels quite similar to Gaia in essence, and I think its really cool!
My personal favorite part of ultraman is the cool alien villains. I hope we get a few good ones this season. Even if they usually don’t last long, they really feel menacing and powerful. Worthy and dangerous foes.
Praying for Blazar to keep Blazing until the show’s end!
Episode 6 will have Alien Canaan from Ultraseven returning, so you might get your wish regarding cool alien villains very soon. From promo stills it seems they'll take control of Earth Garon, much like how they brainwashed Windom in their debut.
Plus there's that pointy-headed humanoid dude revealed in Blazar's press conference, he might be an alien invader as well.
@@yanchunchan9321The Dude made from Greeza suit right?
I hope that alien will become final boss or strong opponent.
@@SenKima-kd6yx yep, that guy. He has a strong midseason boss vibe to him, so I really hope he's powerful. Would be interesting if he has a "civilised" personality like Mefilas to contrast Blazar's caveman antics

In terms Kaiju and toys agree, but for protagonists, I think it is nowadays that not only Ultraman, but Kamen Rider and Super Sentai to get freshly aged actors to be protagonists. Not trying to argue, nor if it would be accurate, but it is a trend from what I’m seeing through the Tokusatsu shows I watch (Side Note: I’d say Orb out of all New Gen is not childish and knows what he is doing, since his actor did come from Kamen Rider Den O, which was a 8 year gap from both series) this is my opinion, and I’m not trying to start an argument though.
Tsuburaya Would Haven an Change to Kill Off Gamu and Destroy Fujimiya Better Make it like Decade 21 and OOO 10th Anniversary Movie.

You know it's weird to think that despite all the zany stuff that happens in the showa era shows compared to the recent stuff, the tone and personalities of the characters was still more serious than most of the new gen people.
And sometimes the Showa Ultras just completely F'ed up the kaijus: Slicing, decapitations, dismember and disemboweled them when a beam finisher doesn't do the job.
@@2rrkd yeah it was pretty awesome. The reason they probably don't do it anymore is that the costumes have become so expensive and complex to make that getting indivudual parts to come off or making prop parts to attach in their place just for getting sliced off just isn't an option.

The reason why we had new generation Tiga and Dyna is because it's impossible for the actors of Daigo and Shin to return.
Actor for Gamu on the other hand...
Takeshi Tsuruno is still active though
ultraman gridman is real bros just wait for it....
4:21 I somehow imagine Dan yells the catchphrase while running Gen with his infamous jeep. Don't ask why.

You should do a king joe video
The most unique thing is that Blazar acts like a caveman
I really agree on the point about long-absent kaiju returning. One of the reasons I'm biased towards Trigger and Decker is because they brought back Aboras, Banila and Chandlar, and I admit that the rumours they would return influenced my decision to keep watching the show.
I'm okay with seeing the classics return a lot, although I must say it's kinda disheartening seeing them reduced to mere jobbers. I liked Z's portrayal of Gomora and Red King a lot, because how they were used in the series really captured what made them so enduring in the first place.
Small note, I actually prefer Neomegas over the original Neosaurus, it was a step in the right direction. Plus the episode it debuted in was really well-written and well-shot, and has one of my favourite fights in the entire Ultra Series.
Speaking as a Gaia fan, about the only reason I actually wanted New Gen Gaia is so that they can bring back Gaia kaiju like the Mezards, the Weather Control Machines, Blitz Blotz and King of Mons, so that they could release new sofubis. But then Blazar gave us Earth Garon, a bunch of fun new kaiju and the incredibly cool Ultra Monster Advance line, so now I have no reason to even want New Gen Gaia. They could never recapture the sheer coolness of Agul anyway.
I think the Effects teams don't have the budget for some the Gaia monsters. Mizunoryu, I'm looking at you.
@@brettwood1351 yeah those heads on its tails must have eaten up a lot of budget to make and operate. I think it might actually be cheaper to use CGI instead of making a new suit if they ever consider having him return
@@yanchunchan9321 I'd have to check, but it may have been remodeled from a Orochi Suit from something else, possibly a Tiga Special, or remodeled into one. It's a shame because I really like him and poor doomed Tigris.
@@brettwood1351 yep, I checked the wiki and he was indeed remodeled from the Orochi from Tiga Gaiden. Not sure if he was modified into something else tho
Yeah uh.. If Tsuburaya actually did, tell them "Thanks for wasting my time!"
Because of instead of doing the last TDG 25th anniversary of Ultraman Gaia like they should....!
THEY GONNA KEEP SKIPPNG OVER FOR THE NEW ULTRAMAN INSTEAD!!! 😡😡
Honestly most "the next show will be THIS" in any of the big tokusatsu franchises are usually better off having not happened.
bandai actually don't approve this approach of blazar. dir Taguchi made his mind and tsuburaya gave him their support and bandai don't like that. that why they dont do promo a lot for blazar toy. the brace sells prove that
Can i do a fanart for you Professor
Because I already uploaded. Check it out
Where was it uploaded to?

TDG more like TDB
do a kaiju bio neronga
I'm recent to the ultra series. Gaia is the best of the 6 series I've seen. If blazar is better...well, ill have to see it.
Do twin tail please
I am a new Ultraman viewer that started with Ultraman Z and although it is still my favorite, I have to agree with all the points you brought up. I enjoyed Ultraman Decker, but felt like the show was held back by all the remake aspects and Trigger is genially one of my least favorite shows. Ultraman Blazar feels like a breath of fresh air even for me.
Still They Won’t Being Allowed By Bandai To Develop A Live Action For Gaia and Agul Content Because Of Budget Loss and Low Ratings and Tsuburaya Would Kill Off Gamu and Destroy Fujimiya Better Make it like Decade 21 and OOO 10th Anniversary Movie.

Did you know in the final episode of blazar. He talk
Honestly wouldn’t have minded a New Generation Gaia, if only to round out the set.
I'm really liking Blazar because it's so different. By the way, I agree with most of your criticisms regarding the recent Ultraman series. I liked Decker a lot, but I was hoping for more new monsters. The tendency to make the series' protagonists look immature is not unique to the Ultra series. There's a lot of it in the Kamen Rider franchise, which recently had a series of protagonists who frankly, came across as losers.
Saber is a Top Tier and The Only Good Reiwa Series + Zero-One and Geats Doesn't Have Anything That Tops Revice + I Know Zero-One was Kinda Depressing and Geats was Dogshit but Ex-Aid Was Takahashi's Only Good Series.
What that show to be like the Showa and hesiei era because it’s hit for more older people and they should bring back some older monsters so people can get excited again and no toys or cards monsters should appear on islands or whatever they go
gaia lastest comeback: 2001😭
They're doing amazing with Blazar but they repeated the loop with ultraman arc. the the new gen curse will never disapear
I like the old tiga and dyna they didnt use any sword or shield
Idk why. First time i watching trigger i fill excited, than i watching daker the excitement just ware off. Than i rewatch trigger and it fill cringe.
Well after years go by we will forget these new monsters from Blazar and just reused those costumes over again and thats my opinion mister Professor
Remember, Chaiyo Productions is also the reason to blame for Flaw Number 3.
I am the sir pentious:)
4:15 i would say theyre antagonists because kengo....kengo...that in my opinion one of the worsts lines make me hated it
Emi And Ari Episode Of Ultraman Blazer Is Amazing
What if they made a new gen of ultraman NEXUS 😮
Still sad we didn't get Ultraman Gayer. Especially since Trigger was the first show to get me properly into the Ultra Franchise (Prior to Trigger, the only series I got into was Nexus).
Ultraman GAYer 🤣💀
About that one part of you saying that you’re tired of seeing famous kaijus being overly reused in other new generation shows well I’m sorry to say that Ultraman Blazar is gonna bring back Demaaga who has been reused from Ultraman X - Ultraman Z
agul needs a apperance once
I like ultraman blazar because I like the idea ZHUBURAYA of the series pucust on the kaiju in state of the ultraman it's like ultraman nexus actually if nexus came out in this every like it's

I am but a mere student in the Toku University, but, so far, Blazar seems to be one of the better Ultraman programs. I grew up watching the original Ulraman series in the 1960's. It was obvious that some of the later series dumbed down human characters to appeal more to very young children. The original Science Patrol were adults and acted like them, well except for Ide, the comic relief character. I suspect that the target age group varied from series to series. Some were aimed at very young children, possibly 8 and under versus others at slightly older children. Small children love feeling superior grown-ups and teen agers, so for them, the stupider, the better.
Eventually, after Pokemon and Power Rangers introduced new ways to mine money from kids (and their parents), numerous Ultraman sequels switched to marketing gizmos and weapons rather in addition to the monsters. For some reason, it really annoyed me that the transformation required the use of a cheap-looking plastic do-hickey, sometimes with playing cards, tokens, plastic capsule monsters, etc. Then again, an eight-year-old me definitely would have loved that stuff.

I don't agree with you mostly because in my opinion new generation is better the heisei in my humble opinion and is more interesting and yeah happy anniversary can't wait was the 2nd May god bless us all intil then and beyond because I want to see crossovers in the toku professor verse lol and bye and mannnnnnnnn your editing is awesome keep up the great work okey now good bye
Have you actually watched Tiga and Dyna
@@friendlyneighborhoodkelbea7258 Dyna and Gaia are hella good, no cap. Tiga is just ok. Geed and Z stomp Tiga, story wise. But yeah, Trigger is shit and Decker is just ok, both cant live up to Tiga and Dyna.
@@shinyanakagawa8241 well that's certainly a hot take cause Tiga has won polls in Japan for the best Ultraman series multiple times.
I agree about Geed and Z though, out of the other New Gen shows Orb was a decent show as well.
Z himself also ranked as people's 3rd favourite Ultraman in polls not so long ago too.
I actually like seeing old monsters, though I would like to see them mix it up, we have fallen into a usual suspects thing.
And forms can work. Though this is a case of preferring the Tiga "Forms all do different things", and if there's an ultimate form extremely limiting it's screen time, like Glitter Tiga and Noa were.
@@friendlyneighborhoodkelbea7258 Winning a poll doesn't mean it has a good story, it just means that the series and characters is popular among the people of certain demographics. I mean, I love Tiga, Daigo and its movies but I wont pretend that it has an exceptionally good writings and characters. People including myself love Tiga because it has a pretty likeable lore and has very likeable characters, that's it. If compared to Dyna and Gaia, Tiga has the weakest writings and characters. Tiga barely has any overarching plot at all, not until when the last cour of the series kicks in, not to mention that they had to supplement it with Final Odyssey too.
well we kind of got a New generation gaia, in the form of Super Supreme Gaia who is a fusion of Supreme Gaia and Super Agul
