The Ultra Series has been pretty influential over the years. Here's a look at a few properties influenced by the tokusatsu series in one way or another.
Evangelion is also a massive homage to the works of Gerry Anderson, whose shows in turn were very popular and influential to Japanese media. Ultraman being no exception.
Misato's ringtone in Evangelion is what inspired me to set Ghidorah's roar as my own ringtone. I use a high pitched chirp for calls and a lower pitched one for notifications
oh believe me when I say Ultraman inspired people from all over the world. Especially South East Asia since there is an official Ultraman called Ribut who debuted from a Malaysian cartoon titled Upin Ipin. It is due to an official collaboration from Tsuburaya with Les Copaque(the cartoon company owner) that this new Ultraman was created specifically for that cartoon show. Ultraman Ribut then was put into live action and cemented as canon in the ultra series and debuted with other new generation of Ultramen like Zero. Ultraman Ribut is now so popular that Malaysia and Indonesian fans are fighting online on where Ribut draws influence from since Indonesia and Malaysia have similar history and culture. Malaysian fans are proud that Ribut debuted because the Ultra series are super iconic here.
@@haiqal5333 i know right! But Ribut is counted as Malaysian Ultraman since it came from Upin Ipin, a Malaysian cartoon. Wish Indonesian cartoon company did the same and get their own ultra. That'll be cool
I knew back then that the fin on her helmet can be detached into a bladed boomerang, but never realized that it's a blatant reference to the Eye Slugger.
The design of the z'gok from original mobile suit gundam was inspired from alien zarab from ultraman. Years later, Tsupro actually made two kaiju in ultraman gaia to be based on gundam mobile suit design. Specifically the apatee was based on zaku and gan q was based on acguy/agguguy
Always warmed my heart in the anime "Clannad" when Ultraman and Mother of Ultra are mentioned! And out of the ones listed, Ghidorah's cackle showing up in both Ultraman & Evangelion has been one of my favorites.
I had assumed that the video would talk about international media, not just Japan. But since it was not the case, I add my suspicion that Etrigan from DC comics is inspired by Ultraman.
SSSS.GRIDMAN says hi. Ultraman is a series in that series, and Ultra fanboy Shou Utsumi helps Gridman a few times by applying Ultra Logic to the Kaiju that Gridman fights.
ultraman used to be one of the biggest entertainment in japan for all ages during the 1900's, atleast top 10 so yeah. considerig the ages of the people who now makes anime or mangas, they have all atleast watched ultraman once
Awesome video man! I never caught that reference when I watched the Birdy The Mighty animes years back, very cool! I'm surprised that Toho still hasn't had Godzilla meet Ultraman yet considering Eiji was Ultraman's creator
I read in some article and wiki (a few years ago) that Godzilla and Ultraman franchise has always been sour towards each other. Said to date back before Ultra Q. Well in the end one gets glorification from being influential to current media and the other is making bucks from the box office.
Recently two Ultraman copycats were created. One named Gigaman from the upcoming "Gigabash" game. He's basically an out of shape Ultra. The other is a graphic novel called "Ultramega". A hard R and bloody depiction of Ultraman in a dystopian society. Its wild.
Damn great video, I mean to be honest Im not an Ultraman megafan or anything, but Im legit more curious about Shin Ultraman than Shin Kamen Rider....(ps Shin Goranger when?)
holy shit, he doesn't mention it in the video, but it just occurred to me that the iconic 'low HP beep' from pokémon is directly pulling from Ultraman's color timer
if it wasnt for ultraman and others, my favortie show, power rangers, wouldn't even exist, i know its 2 different things, but thanks to power rangers, i took my first step into a larger world
Kinnikuman is probably one of the biggest and most blatant manga inspired by ultraman since it started as an ultraman parody. While it did evolve into its own thing they continued to pay homage to the series by naming the prota of the sequel series Kinniku mantaro after ultraman taro
Pokemon actually has one other reference to Ultraman I don't think anyone but me has noticed: In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, there's a location called "Ultra Megalopolis", which is a city in another dimension that uses an artificial light source based in a tower. Sound familiar? Necrozma is pretty much the Plasma Spark, and that's if the "Ultra" prefix wasn't enough of a dead giveaway. In fact, the Ultra Beasts themselves look like they could be Ultra series Kaiju.
Yeah...it kinda sucks. Aside from the actually decent action, the characters are laughable, the ideas behind it are absurd in the worst way, everyone seems to have a gigantic ego, and the artwork ain't the best. But you go ahead and you check it out for yourself
Don't quote me but I'm nearly positive that the Kamehameha was Akira Toriyama trying to give goku his own version of the spacium beam. Dr. Slump is littered with both Ultraman and Toho Monsters and has a ton of references to the ultra series so its probably safe to bet that Toriyama is a fan of the series.
Here's a bit of a stretch. When they're not refered to as Ultramen, they are referred to as "Giants". What Japanese word do they use for that? "Kyojin"
That cartoon has an Ultraman show named Ultraman Ribut. He debuted in Live Action in the Absolute Conspiracy web series here in TH-cam. Yes he was an official Ultraman made for that cartoon.
i had a theory that pokemon and ultraman are connect beacuse why does he have a color timer and also why hey day hyah! like ultraman im sure that something is inside that starfish’s color timer that means thr thing that is inside of his color timer is a ultra from a different planet
I have a feeling ep 40 of Ultraman Leo inspired "Kill em all Tomino" in his Zambot 3, Ideon and Gundam series (and Sunrise first anime prokect was The Ultraman in 1979 anyway) and the evil manga artist of one of Ultaman Taro's episodes must have been inspiration for Araki's character Rohan in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
HP being low in the pokemon games and the beeping going is also a color timer reference. Dynamax/gigantamax from pokemon sword and shield are also ultraman references with how they grow big, especially the animation somewhat. Plus them only lasting for 3 turns is in relation to Ultra's 3 minutes.
Mmm, but the people that made the PKMN anime aren't really part of Game freak or TPC. So, while they might also be fans, most of those references are pointless for the point you are trying to make
Aggron from Pokemon Advance Generation(Sapphire,Ruby and Emerald) Most likely it design inspired from kaijuu in ultraman specifically Golza from Ultraman Tiga
@@tokumillennium5162I'n willing to bet there's alot of kamen rider videos that tackle this or even mention the stuff that it inspires plus you are asking a guy to do a kamen rider video when he never watched it

Indeed
Exactly. I remember they even said because it looked cool and that was it.
average eva fans be like
Evangelion is also a massive homage to the works of Gerry Anderson, whose shows in turn were very popular and influential to Japanese media. Ultraman being no exception.
They be sending a signal to Planet M78.
Every time I see something that’s clearly inspired by Ultraman, I get up and point like a caveman
same
Same
like the leonardo dicaprio meme
same
Doesn't everyone? I know I do.
Misato's ringtone in Evangelion is what inspired me to set Ghidorah's roar as my own ringtone. I use a high pitched chirp for calls and a lower pitched one for notifications
Damn, you really beat me to it
Without Ultraman, none of these classics will exist.
And without Godzilla, Ultraman wouldn't exist. Eiji Tsuburaya made the right call to boot up his own brand after Godzilla's success.
imagine the world if tokusatsu never existed
This really shows how Ultraman really left an impression on most of the media that made the cameos and references in their own show
And yet western fans love to throw ultraman under the bus as unimportant.
@@Erricane and without King Kong, Godzilla wouldn't exist
Team Rocket from Pokemon referencing Baltan is like the single best thing i’ve ever seen all day 👌😂
Never I've seen people other than my country/japan discuss about Ultraman. Now i know the fan outside the said country is waay more than i think it is

I just realized that Chi-chi's armour has the same design on UltraSeven😮
I knew back then that the fin on her helmet can be detached into a bladed boomerang, but never realized that it's a blatant reference to the Eye Slugger.
0:16 kinda funny that he’s good friends with Anno who’s a big ultraman fan.
The design of the z'gok from original mobile suit gundam was inspired from alien zarab from ultraman. Years later, Tsupro actually made two kaiju in ultraman gaia to be based on gundam mobile suit design. Specifically the apatee was based on zaku and gan q was based on acguy/agguguy
It's even believed Shin Asuka from SEED Destiny was inspired by Ultraman Dyna's host as well as the design for Destiny.
No wonder it's really similar
In lore principality of zeon engineers encountered alien Zarab and giving them idea to built Z'Gok
I can believe Gan-Q being an Agguguy, but I don't think Apatee is a Zaku. It's more knight-like design makes me think it was based off of the Gyan.
I can’t wait when you talk about 80 he’s my favorite Showa ultraman ever
Also Ben 10's watch red time limit in the early seasons could have been inspired by ultraman's own color timer.
Way big😂

That's pretty cool
Gridman is made by Tsuburaya so it's more like a reference than influence?
Og Gridman: "I'm not?"
I remember this one episode of Golden Kamuey when Asirpa gets hungry then her wolf coat brooch starts beeping like a color timer.
Elemental HERO Neos from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is based on character designs from Ultraman.
He's likely more based on the Guyver
@@PepsiMan666 Nah it's more like Kamen rider + ultraman + guyver
Wow, seriously i didn't expect anime to have so much reference to Ultraman...
ultraman used to be one of the biggest entertainment in japan for all ages during the 1900's, atleast top 10 so yeah. considerig the ages of the people who now makes anime or mangas, they have all atleast watched ultraman once
Birdy is one of my favourite series ever! It's always good to see it getting some spotlight!
An episode of Shaman King also had an Ultraman cameo

A pleasant surprise on my news feed, always love it when you feature the Ultraman franchise in your channel. Thanks! 🙂
Check out Gigaman from the upcoming GigaBash game. He's basically Ultraman, but if Ultraman was in his mid-40s and had a dad bod and bad back.
nice video man! congrats !! I cosplay ultraseven here in Brazil.
Damn great video, I mean to be honest Im not an Ultraman megafan or anything, but Im legit more curious about Shin Ultraman than Shin Kamen Rider....(ps Shin Goranger when?)
If they have to make shin goranger they might have to watch out for the western audience since power rangers is a thing
Here he comes from the sky!
Keroro (Sgt. Frog) also references ultraman multiple times.
Great video, Blunova 🙏🙏
Good video man, i wish people knew more about ultraman, like they knew power rangers stuff.
holy shit, he doesn't mention it in the video, but it just occurred to me that the iconic 'low HP beep' from pokémon is directly pulling from Ultraman's color timer
will smith is a fan of ultraman? awesome
“Will smith is a real big fan of ultraman”
Guess that’s where he learned to slap lol
insert charles meme:
WOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHHH YEEAAAAHHHH BABY, THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Excellent video!
What did you think of Godzilla Vs Kong? And are you still reviewing Kong Skull Island?
Here’s a question so yeah I’ve been talking about Godzilla more than Ultraman so yeah

love to see a Part 2
The fuck is old man Miyazaki was smoking when he said that
Miyazaki is a smart person but his take on popular culture and anime is wrong, so very wrong.
Pokemon actually has one other reference to Ultraman I don't think anyone but me has noticed: In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, there's a location called "Ultra Megalopolis", which is a city in another dimension that uses an artificial light source based in a tower. Sound familiar? Necrozma is pretty much the Plasma Spark, and that's if the "Ultra" prefix wasn't enough of a dead giveaway. In fact, the Ultra Beasts themselves look like they could be Ultra series Kaiju.
I never noticed that in Staryu's anime cry.
Ultraman vs Jirass is the Closest thing we can get to Godzilla vs Ultraman
5:35 Glad I'm not the only person on earth who compared the Anne of Green Gables scene to Eva lol
Anyone know if the Marvel Comics Ultraman series is any good? Heard about it a while ago and haven't heard much since.
I think it's decent, they currently working on Ultraseven Arc for next year
Yeah...it kinda sucks. Aside from the actually decent action, the characters are laughable, the ideas behind it are absurd in the worst way, everyone seems to have a gigantic ego, and the artwork ain't the best.
But you go ahead and you check it out for yourself
Only issues with it to me is the long time between issues.
7:45 - 7:57 Ultraman Tiga Chinese Ending Song.
