  It's come to my attention that I'm releasing this on the birthday of Dan's actor, Koji Moritsugu.  Pure coincidence.  Happy 81st!

  My favorite is part about the finale is the Ultra Guard’s reaction to Dan’s true identity. <br><br>They don’t even question it but instead they immediately get on their jets to help out. They don’t even refer to Ultraseven as “Ultraseven” anymore but instead just “Dan”. <br><br>Also, the delivery of the line “Lets go, humanity must defend earth by it’s own hands!” along with the music goes hard.

  Dan: I&apos;m a drifter with no identification nor any scientific or military training, who just so happened to be in the same area as the alien attack and knew exactally what was going on.<br>Ultra Guard: Welcome to the Ultra Guard

  Regarding the weird transitions, Ultraseven was airing at the same time as Captain Scarlet, a Gerry Anderson series best known for being horrifically violent and the Spectrum Drum transitions. There are some pretty consistent parallels between Anderson and Tsuburaya productions, specifically the presence of super vehicles in Stingray and Thunderbirds leading to the introduction of the SSSP in Ultraman, so it&apos;s entirely possible that the tone shift after the first batch of episodes is entirely because Captain Scarlet made its way to Japan at the same time.<br><br>Ultraseven is far and away my favorite show in the entire series, and my favorite Ultra full stop. Zero carrying on his legacy and the reappearance of Windom, Sevenger and KING JOE in Ultraman Zett are fantastic elements of the new generation, and Heisei Ultraseven is one of the best followups in the entire series, so it makes me very happy to learn that one of my favorite tokusatsu youtubers loves it the same way I do. ALL HAIL GUTSO SEIJIN!

  Ultraseven series is literally like a wine, it only gets better the longer you let it grow on you.

  Growing up in Malaysia in the early 90s, I had Ultraman Ace and Return of Ultraman to look forward to after school and they remain idols in my heart to this day. At the time I never got to watch Ultraseven though he&apos;d popped up in Ace and Jack&apos;s series at times, and I freakin loved his design.<br><br>As an adult I finally watched this entire show a couple of years back and my God, the actress who plays Ann is just.. shockingly beautiful.

  The funniest thing about Dino Tank is he was added to that Ultraman fighting game on GBA as the representative Kaiju of Ultraseven. Not Eleking. Not King Joe. Not even Metron.

  I love how Seven&apos;s fighting style is just Shat-fu. Kirk and Seven having a fight would be cool as hell

  I love how Ultraseven shows both the campy, ridiculous side and more dramatic, introspective side of tokusatsu perfectly.

  I started the Ultra series with Ultraman 66, but it was Seven that really solidified my love of the series. Super Weapon is such a good episode, and the quote about running a marathon while coughing up blood stuck with me for a long time.
