GUYS' Weapons Based on Previous Defence Teams ① | 以前の防衛チームに基づくGUYS兵器 ①

-
During episode 39 of Ultraman Ace, way back in 1972, Yapool's agent Alien Fire a powerful choju, Firemons, on a rampage. Ace was not able to defeat him, with Firemons withstanding his Metallium Ray and ended getting stabbed with the Fire Sword. TAC then produced a powerful cannon called Silver Shark that destroyed Firemons easily, implying that the laser is stronger than a Metallium Ray. This is the first time TAC destroyed a choju (doesn't that mean they are not successful as a defence team?).




In Ultraman Mebius, another Silver Shark was introduced, called Silver Shark G. This was a large beam gun placed beside the GUYS headquaters, the Phoenix Nest. It boasts range and precision that can destroy meteorites falling to Earth.

Ultraseven  is undoubtedly one of the most popular entries in the Ultra Series. With very well crafted episode plots that can be enjoyed by adults too. However, one episode has caused much controversy for some time, and ultimately became banned. Episode 12, From Another Planet With Love  tells of the Alien Spell ,  who had been caught in nuclear war on their planet and got radiation sickness. Therefore, they needed white blood cells of humans to replenish themselves and headed to Earth for that purpose. They used devices disguised as watches to suck blood out of victims. This episode is the first to mention that Ultraseven is actually from Nebula M78. Alien Spell's true form is strange, a totally white humanoid figure with scars all over, which seemed to be based on nuclear bomb survivors. Originally, the design was described by kaiju designer Tohl Narita as being "beetle-like". However, after the suggestion of the director, Narita reluctantly changed the design. In...

Title Card looks very different from other episodes Ultra Fight was a low budget show created by Tsuburaya Productions when the company was in a critical situation after several of their shows failed to gain popularity. Ultra Fight itself was well received by viewers, and Tsuburaya managed to produce 196 episodes compared to the planned 130. Though there is something strange about episode 196, Monster Morgue ( 怪獣死体置場) , which features Woo as well as Gomora who never appeared in any of the other 195 episodes. Episode 195 was supposed to be the final episode, airing on 2nd July 1971. However, some episodes of Ultra Fight were re-edited fight scenes from Ultraman and Ultraseven . Thus, when Ultraseven episode 12 was banned , episode 9 of Ultra Fight (production ep 45), featuring scenes from there, also had to be sealed and could not be rebroadcast. So, Tsuburaya hastily created an episode to replace that. It aired on 6th July. Why was Gomora used? I have...
