** A subtler example occurs with [[Series/UltraSeven Ultraseven's]] revival alongside the explicitly dead Ultra brothers, as Seven/Dan Moroboshi had been killed during Commander's Black attack in Series/UltramanLeo prior to the events of this short.
** As mentioned above, the credits pay homage to the openings of older Ultra shows, especially those of Series/UltraSeven and Series/UltramanAce.
** In said credits, the [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultra Key]] briefly appears, despite having no relevance to the short.

In Spring 1975, a malevolent entity named Jackal, having somehow escaped the afterlife, begins murdering the Ultra Brothers through shapeshifting into their deadliest enemies. Forcing the surviving Ultras into hiding, Jackal and his army invade Earth and attempt to draw the Ultras out by murdering civilians. All of a sudden, a new Ultra hero named Melos arrives on Earth to fight against the invasion? Will Jackal be stopped, or will Melos be added to the demonic space overlord's body count?

*The70s: The narrator explicitly states the short takes place in Spring 1975, presumably after the events of Series/UltramanLeo.
*AliensAmongUs: Zoffy, Mother of Ultra and at least two unnamed Ultras take on human forms to hide among humanity from Jackal's army.
*AlienInvasion: Without the Ultras around, the Jackal army apparently conquers and enslaves Earth easily.

*BackFromTheDead: Jackal is stated to have escaped from "hell's black hole", having presumably being killed by [[Series/UltramanLeo Ultraman King]] beforehand.
