Synopsis

[edit]
Main article:List of Ultraman Z characters

Remnants ofUltraman Belial,known as the Devil Splinters, were scattered across the universe and turned infected monsters into berserkers.[8][9]To combat the resulting chaos, the Land of Light created the Ultra Medals and Z Risers, but several of these devices were stolen by Celebro, forcing Ultraman Zero and his self-proclaimed disciple Z tochase it to the Earth.Z carried out his incapacitated master's mission and the Z Riser to recover the stolen Ultra Medals on Earth, where he bonded with STORAGE officer Haruki Natsukawa to combat the space monster Genegarg. Ever since then, Haruki assisted Z in reclaiming lost Ultra Medals and at the same time defending mankind from monsters and extraterrestrial threats.[4][5][6][7]Haruki's mission as a STORAGE member is accompanied by his senior/ace pilot Yoko Nakashima, the young scientist Yuka Ohta, the elderly repairman Kojiro Inaba and his captain Shota Hebikura, whose true identity is Jugglus Juggler fromUltraman Orb.

Meanwhile, the space parasite Celebro took possession of a youth named Shinya Kaburagi to create chaos and experiment with the Ultra's technology to harbor the power of monsters.[8]In addition to Ultraman Z, Haruki is also assisted by guests appearing as Ultras; Riku/Ultraman Geed, Zero, and his godfather Ace. STORAGE begins to create stronger machines and armaments, but as the series progressed, Celebro took over the GAFJ director Kuriyama to further the advancements of new weaponries and disbanded STORAGE. His true plan is to provoke mankind into creating their strongest weapon and turn it against them. He eventually possessed Yoko to hijack Ultroid Zero and transform it into the cyborg monster known as Destrudos to initiate his Civilization Self-Destruction Game on Earth. Juggler reforms STORAGE to rescue Yoko as Haruki succeeded through sheer will, forcing Celebro to abandon her and possessed Destrudos as a last resort. After being knocked out of his strongest form, Ultraman Z unleashed his full power to destroy Destrudos and finally save Earth. Celebro was captured by STORAGE and a vengeful Kaburagi to be dissected as Juggler resigned from the team to leave Earth. Haruki retains his bond with Z, but instead of staying in STORAGE, he decided to leave for outer space to continue Z's mission as an Ultraman, though he assured the rest of STORAGE that he would return to Earth on regular occasions.

Production

[edit]

The entire project was conceived by Tsuburaya Productions with a different draft and story composition. Chief producer Tsugumi Kitaura offered Taguchi the role of the main director in August 2019 and the latter requested the inclusion of Kota Fukihara, as well as the pair to rewrite the original draft to their own preference. Production of the series started two months earlier than most of the New Generation Heroes series so as to anticipate the2020 Summer Olympicsprior to its initial postponement from theCOVID-19 pandemic in Japan.He also invited a screenwriter named Keigo Koyanagi and military supervisor Yasuhiro Koshi to provide an in-depth accuracy to the themes of military. Because Taguchi had participated in most of the New Generation Heroes instalments sinceUltraman Ginga S,he decided to turnUltraman Zas his own version of the line's conclusion.[a]Jugglus Juggler's inclusion into the series was to expand his character after his last appearance inUltraman Orb.[11]

In previous entries of the Ultra Series, the defense team concept was dropped out so as to save the production cost, but Taguchi proposed the inclusion of giant robots as alternatives to combat vehicles. The first to be created was King Joe STORAGE Custom, but Sevenger was introduced earlier in the series to garner attention from fans for its cuter appeal. The late inclusion of King Joe was to emphasize STORAGE's growth as an attack team and to prevent it from overshadowing Ultraman Z in the early episodes.[11]

The show's name was trademarked in China on December 27, 2019, and later in Japan on January 21, 2020, around 3 month before its announcement.[12][unreliable source?]Ultraman Zwas immediately announced by official website of Tsuburaya Productions on March 26, 2020.[4][5][6][7]As the first trailer of the series was released on April 16, 2020, the official website of Tsuburaya Productions quickly announced Kiyotaka Taguchi as its main director,Tatsuomi Hamada's return as the show's supporting cast and finallyMasaaki EndohandNami Tamakisinging the opening and ending themes respectively.[13]The entire cast members of STORAGE and GAFJ members made their live broadcast on June 5, 2020.[1][2]Automobile manufacturing companyToyotaannounced their cooperation in the series production by providing Toyota LQ as STORAGE's main transport.[14]

After his passing on May 17, Kōta Fukihara's role as the story editor was subsequently taken over by Taguchi, with Tsuburaya Productions and the production staffs ofUltraman Zpublishing their tribute in the official sites.[1][2]According to Kohshu Hirano, filming ofUltraman Zwas among those affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic in Japanand went postponed for two months before it was resumed. This happened at some point before the series premiere on June 20.[15]

Reception

[edit]

Ultraman Zwas ranked sixth place on 2020's "100 InternetBuzzwords"in Japan, held byNico Nico PediaandPixiv Encyclopedia.The physical award was given to director Kiyotaka Taguchi during the award ceremony on December 15, 2020. Shota Hebikura, the alias of Jugglus Juggler in the series was also one of many entries in said award, having ranked 45th place. Taguchi admitted thatUltraman Zbeing an action-packed series was to originally anticipate the Olympics.[50]On July 21, 2021,Ultraman Zwas labelled as the winner of the Best Dramatic Presentation category from theSeiun Award,making the series as the second entry in Ultra Series to obtain the award afterUltraman Tigain 1998.[51][52]

In addition to television airing, episodes ofUltraman Zwere rebroadcast onYouTubefor worldwide audience to watch, at Taguchi's suggestion, which also included English subtitles. According to Taguchi's interview in August 2020, the first episode met with good reception from various audience in the worldwide, especially the United States.[11]

Anime mecha designer and former Bandai employee Tsuyoshi Nonaka wrote his commentary in the fortiethUltra Tokusatsu Perfect Mook,pertaining toUltraman Z,he applauded Taguchi for the use of robots for defense team, an idea that the former actually brought to Bandai in the 1990s, but was rejected out of fear that the Ultraman would be overshadowed. Nonaka compares Beliarok, the sentient sword that is used by the eponymous Ultraman Z, to the Byakkoshinken fromGosei Sentai Dairanger,but he felt that the sword's introduction into the show is abrupt and sees the interaction of an Ultraman Belial-based character with Ultraman Z and Haruki is unfit. This is because due to Ultraman Belial's interaction with other Ultras would have been Zero and Geed, therefore suggesting that Juggler would be a better candidate due to his frequent run-in with the main characters of the series, as well as sharing a neutrality stance in any conflict being similar to Beliarok as well.[53]
