** ''Series/UltramanOrb'' episode 17, "''The Holy Sword, Restored''"[[note]]uploaded after Z's [[Recap/UltramanZEp5FirstJuggling 5th episode]].[[/note]]: Gai regains Ultraman Orb's true form, Orb Origin after a pep talk from Naomi and subsequently learning that his LoveInterest, Natasha survived the Maga-Zetton attack years before the series. With Orb Origin, Gai made short work of Zeppandon, controlled by his archrival, Juggler, in the process, destroying his Dark Ring. This is rather befitting for the revelation of Hebikura being Juggler the whole time, and his newest method of invoking Zeppandon without the Dark Ring.

The closest they could ever get was bringing a Jirass Medal to empower Telesdon and said monster being name-dropped by Yuka, implying that STORAGE had an encounter with said monster before.

** ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' episode 3, "''Science Special Search-Party, Move Out''"[[note]]uploaded after [[Recap/UltramanZEp2AWarriorsPrinciple 2nd episode]].[[/note]]: Neronga's debut episode from ''Ultraman'' and its returning appearance in episode 2 after it was last seen in ''Series/UltramanRB''. Like the original, Neronga attacked several electrical supplying areas and its final stop was a power plant which the SSSP and STORAGE managed to intercept.

* For some reason. the medals that make up Delta Rise Claw have a metallic yellow base instead of red as with most Ultra Medals. They are referred to as '''Rise Medals''' to distinguish themselves from the normal Ultra Medals. It also helps the fact that the Zero and Geed Ultra Medals react near to Belial's Kaiju Medal and immediately turn into the Rise Medals -- while Geed's Rise Medal remains in Primitive form, Zero and Belial's medals evolve into the Zero Beyond and Belial Atrocious medals, respectively. It also helps that these forms, along with Geed Primitive, are accessed through the same power source: the Ultra and Kaiju Capsules.
** Geed Primitive is accessed through Ultraman and Belial's Ultra Capsules
** Zero Beyond is accessed through the New Generation Capsules Alpha[[note]]Ginga and Orb[[/note]] and Beta[[note]]Victory and X[[/note]].
** Belial Atrocious is accessed through Alien Empera and Dark Lugiel's Kaiju Capsules.

** The episode right after Bullton's also raises some rather horrifyng questions. Bullton's death leads to Greeza being able to escape his prison and enter the confines of reality. Bullton's very reason for being, according to Riku, is to keep [[EldritchAbomination eldritch horrors]] like Greeza at bay. Just remember he said that in ''plural.'' Are there more things like Greeza out there? [[NothingIsScarier With all the absolutely horrifying monstrosities that we've seen in the Ultra-Series' existence, what else could be lurking beyond the Ultra's knowledge?]]

* Zero's in-game form, Gransabered Zero, uses the Medals of Ultraman, Seven and Ace. Like Z's Beta Smash, they represent members of Ultra Brothers, with only one Medal being left out as a distinction. Interesting to note is that the original Ultraman and Seven are progenitors for future Ultras in terms of design, while Ace becomes the first case of NonStandardCharacterDesign to the Ultra Brothers. Another commonality the 3 Ultra have is that they're the Ultras the first three Ultra Armors featured in Ultraman's SequelSeries are based off of.

* As with Series/UltramanOrb and Series/UltramanGeed, each of the Ultra Fusions used by Z share something similar with each other:
** Alpha Edge (Series/{{Ultraseven}}, Series/UltramanLeo, and Franchise/UltramanZero): [[MasterApprenticeChain They share a chain of mentor and disciple relationships]]. Dan Moroboshi has put Gen Ohtori into [[TrainingFromHell a series of gruesome training regimen]] in order to combat the MonsterOfTheWeek. Leo since then has placed Zero into a similar exercise during his exile from the Land of Light in order to prepare himself against Belial, something that Ultraman King commends in order for Zero to complete his redemption quest. In addition to being trained in terms of physical resilience, they can also perform combination attacks together. Seven and Leo are also the most important Ultras in Zero's life, as the former is his father and the latter is his mentor.
** Beta Smash (Series/{{Ultraman}}, Series/UltramanAce, and Series/UltramanTaro): All three are part of the six Ultra Brothers alongside Zoffy, Seven, and [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Jack]]. They also each had a human host they were forced to separate with, either due to [[GameBreakingInjury massive injury]] on the former[[note]]Shin Hayata was wounded in action during Ultraman's final fight against Zetton, and thus Zoffy is prompted to sever the connection between Hayata and Man, in the process losing his memories of the ordeal.[[/note]] or by [[ButNowIMustGo personal choice]] in the latter party[[note]]Yuko Minami is forced to leave her allies behind on Earth for the moon once her lunar bloodline is revealed and after defeating Lunaticks with Seiji together as Ace, leaving Seiji to transform into Ace alone. While Kotaro Higashi decided to separate with Taro and left ZAT to continue his boxing career in the final episode of his series, but not before [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu having the balls to defeat Alien Valky]] on his own.[[/note]].
** Gamma Future (Series/UltramanTiga, Series/UltramanDyna, and Series/UltramanGaia): Tiga was the very series that [[{{Revival}} revived]] the ''Ultra Series'' following a 15-year long hiatus since the finale of ''Series/UltramanEighty''. Tiga, along with Dyna and Gaia are the first three Heisei Ultras. They are also often placed together during crossovers and popularize the idea of their human hosts being in control of their Ultra alter-egos.
* Again, regarding with the aforementioend forms of Z, director [[WordOfGod Kiyotaka Taguchi stated in interview]] that the three forms represent the three eras of Japan's monarchy:
** Alpha Edge: Reiwa era. ''Ultraman Z'' in general is the second entry of this current era, and the titular Ultra himself is the fourth Reiwa Ultra after the [[Series/UltramanTaiga Tri-Squad]], who are the first three Ultras to appear in the first series of that era. In addition to the aforementioned MasterApprenticeChain between Seven, Leo, and Zero, with Z being the latest addition, the three components serve as a link between Showa and Reiwa.
** Beta Smash: Showa era. ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' is the very series that started it all and pave way for the ''Kyodai''[[note]]giant[[/note]] {{Toku}} subgenre to the next generations and beyond.
** Gamma Future: Heisei era. Again, ''Series/UltramanTiga'' is what revived the ''Ultra Series'' during the Heisei era after a 15-year hiatus from the small screen.
* During [[Series/UltramanGeed Geed]] Galaxy Rising's TransformationSequence, Series/{{Ultraman}} and [[Franchise/UltramanZero Belial]] merge with Riku as if he was about to transform into Primitive much like in his home series while Series/UltramanGinga, [[Series/UltramanX X]], and [[Series/UltramanOrb Orb]] flying past the screen and Belial's eyes appearing during the rising sequence before the other three Ultra components' respective rising backgrounds. This is because Galaxy Rising serves as an upgrade to Primitive due to Riku's Geed Riser being damaged from his fight with the revived Gillvalis; which means, Galaxy Rising actually consists of ''five'' component Ultras.
* The series' parallels to ''Series/UltramanLeo'':
** A previous main hero losing the ability to transform happens not once, [[Series/UltramanGeed not twice either]], but now [[RuleOfThree thrice]]. Back in ''Leo'', Dan lost his ability to transform into Seven until the final episodes. The same can be said with Zero when he gained entry to Geed's universe, at the expense of his Ultimate Aegis rendered unusable for the remainder of the show until the finale. Here, it is Riku who gets the receiving end of this predicament when he fought a revived Gillvalis and lost, in the process his Geed Riser getting totalled.
** Both Zero and Juggler share a similar role with [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Dan Moroboshi]] during his time as MAC captain:
*** Zero taking in Z as his apprentice as the latest addition of the MasterApprenticeChain that began with Seven and Leo. Both Leo and Zero had a more serious training regimen in their time, but Leo's is much more harsh compared to Zero's. Unlike the two, Z being the addition is more or less likely out of HeroWorship, which somewhat irks Zero, but nevertheless trained him; which explains Z's start as a fresh, yet inexperienced Ultra much like his predecessor, [[Series/UltramanTaiga Taiga]].
*** Juggler being TheCaptain of STORAGE is synonymous to Dan's role as captain of MAC. Both were previously main characters of their [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} respective]] [[Series/UltramanOrb shows]] and returned in a recurring capacity as TheMentor to the protagonists (Gen Ohtori and Haruki Natsukawa, respectively); bonus points for said protagonists being [[IKnowKungFu martial arts experts]]. And both of them have been relegated to AntiHeroes at some point -- Dan was even more gruff and cynical after losing his ability to transform into Seven and on top of putting Gen into a vicious TrainingFromHell, whereas Juggler, previously the BigBad and TheRival to Gai Kurenai, is now a NominalHero at best while keeping up the charade as Hebikura and a TokenEvilTeammate at worst while keeping his true identity secret from his crew.

* Despite that Belial is dead for good; considering the existence of the Devil Splinters in this series, [[ParanoiaFuel this may not be the case]]. As they are revealed to be genetic essences of the fallen Ultra and have scattered across the multiverses. Which means, considering how Celebro is gathering one, there's a possibility that the splinters can be used to revive Belial. Hell, the splinters themselves are shaped like Belial's eyes!
** We backtrack to Z's predecessor, ''Series/UltramanTaiga'' and the episodes that involved the appearances of Skull Gomora and a mindless imitation of Belial. This brings us the question of how in Ultraman King's name did its creator, Alien Chibu Mabuze, got hold of a Devil Splinter?[[note]]which it hasn't been mentioned yet at the time.[[/note]] Ultimately after giving too much power boost on the Belial clone, Mabuze [[EvilIsNotAToy pays the price]] when Tregear commands the said clone to kill him.
** And the fact that Celebro wasn't able to perfectly create a Belial medal with just a Devil Splinter alone, what did he do in order to remedy this mistake? [[BatmanGambit Taking advantage of the revived Gillvalis]] in order to lure out Series/UltramanGeed, and once Gillvalis is out of the way, he uses some of Gillvalis's remnants to create his [[{{Mooks}} Valis Raiders]] and ordered them to kidnap Riku to extract his Belial factor and successfully create the medal.
* As with Series/UltramanOrb and Series/UltramanGeed, each of the Ultra Fusions used by Z share something similar with each other:
** Alpha Edge (Series/{{Ultraseven}}, Series/UltramanLeo, and Franchise/UltramanZero): [[MasterApprenticeChain They share a chain of mentor and disciple relationships]]. Dan Moroboshi has put Gen Ohtori into [[TrainingFromHell a series of gruesome training regimen]] in order to combat the MonsterOfTheWeek. Leo since then has placed Zero into a similar exercise during his exile from the Land of Light in order to prepare himself against Belial, something that Ultraman King commends in order for Zero to complete his redemption quest. In addition to being trained in terms of physical resilience, they can also perform combination attacks together. Seven and Leo are also the most important Ultras in Zero's life, as the former is his father and the latter is his mentor.
** Beta Smash (Series/{{Ultraman}}, Series/UltramanAce, and Series/UltramanTaro): All three are part of the six Ultra Brothers alongside Zoffy, Seven, and [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Jack]]. They also each had a human host they were forced to separate with, either due to [[GameBreakingInjury massive injury]] on the former[[note]]Shin Hayata was wounded in action during Ultraman's final fight against Zetton, and thus Zoffy is prompted to sever the connection between Hayata and Man, in the process losing his memories of the ordeal.[[/note]] or by [[ButNowIMustGo personal choice]] in the latter party[[note]]Yuko Minami is forced to leave her allies behind on Earth for the moon once her lunar bloodline is revealed and after defeating Lunaticks with Seiji together as Ace, leaving Seiji to transform into Ace alone. While Kotaro Higashi decided to separate with Taro and left ZAT to continue his boxing career in the final episode of his series, but not before [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu having the balls to defeat Alien Valky]] on his own.[[/note]].
** Gamma Future (Series/UltramanTiga, Series/UltramanDyna, and Series/UltramanGaia): Tiga was the very series that [[{{Revival}} revived]] the ''Ultra Series'' following a 15-year long hiatus since the finale of ''Series/UltramanEighty''. Tiga, along with Dyna and Gaia are the first three Heisei Ultras. They are also often placed together during crossovers and popularize the idea of their human hosts being in control of their Ultra alter-egos.
* Again, regarding with the aforementioend forms of Z, director [[WordOfGod Kiyotaka Taguchi stated in interview]] that the three forms represent the three eras of Japan's monarchy:
** Alpha Edge: Reiwa era. ''Ultraman Z'' in general is the second entry of this current era, and the titular Ultra himself is the fourth Reiwa Ultra after the [[Series/UltramanTaiga Tri-Squad]], who are the first three Ultras to appear in the first series of that era. In addition to the aforementioned MasterApprenticeChain between Seven, Leo, and Zero, with Z being the latest addition, the three components serve as a link between Showa and Reiwa.
** Beta Smash: Showa era. ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' is the very series that started it all and pave way for the ''Kyodai''[[note]]giant[[/note]] {{Toku}} subgenre to the next generations and beyond.
** Gamma Future: Heisei era. Again, ''Series/UltramanTiga'' is what revived the ''Ultra Series'' during the Heisei era after a 15-year hiatus from the small screen.
* During [[Series/UltramanGeed Geed]] Galaxy Rising's TransformationSequence, Series/{{Ultraman}} and [[Franchise/UltramanZero Belial]] merge with Riku as if he was about to transform into Primitive much like in his home series while Series/UltramanGinga, [[Series/UltramanX X]], and [[Series/UltramanOrb Orb]] flying past the screen and Belial's eyes appearing during the rising sequence before the other three Ultra components' respective rising backgrounds. This is because Galaxy Rising serves as an upgrade to Primitive due to Riku's Geed Riser being damaged from his fight with the revived Gillvalis; which means, Galaxy Rising actually consists of ''five'' component Ultras.
* The series' parallels to ''Series/UltramanLeo'':
** A previous main hero losing the ability to transform happens not once, [[Series/UltramanGeed not twice either]], but now [[RuleOfThree thrice]]. Back in ''Leo'', Dan lost his ability to transform into Seven until the final episodes. The same can be said with Zero when he gained entry to Geed's universe, at the expense of his Ultimate Aegis rendered unusable for the remainder of the show until the finale. Here, it is Riku who gets the receiving end of this predicament when he fought a revived Gillvalis and lost, in the process his Geed Riser getting totalled.
** Both Zero and Juggler share a similar role with [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} Dan Moroboshi]] during his time as MAC captain:
*** Zero taking in Z as his apprentice as the latest addition of the MasterApprenticeChain that began with Seven and Leo. Both Leo and Zero had a more serious training regimen in their time, but Leo's is much more harsh compared to Zero's. Unlike the two, Z being the addition is more or less likely out of HeroWorship, which somewhat irks Zero, but nevertheless trained him; which explains Z's start as a fresh, yet inexperienced Ultra much like his predecessor, [[Series/UltramanTaiga Taiga]].
*** Juggler being TheCaptain of STORAGE is synonymous to Dan's role as captain of MAC. Both were previously main characters of their [[Series/{{Ultraseven}} respective]] [[Series/UltramanOrb shows]] and returned in a recurring capacity as TheMentor to the protagonists (Gen Ohtori and Haruki Natsukawa, respectively); bonus points for said protagonists being [[IKnowKungFu martial arts experts]]. And both of them have been relegated to AntiHeroes at some point -- Dan was even more gruff and cynical after losing his ability to transform into Seven and on top of putting Gen into a vicious TrainingFromHell, whereas Juggler, previously the BigBad and TheRival to Gai Kurenai, is now a NominalHero at best while keeping up the charade as Hebikura and a TokenEvilTeammate at worst while keeping his true identity secret from his crew.
!Fridge Horror
* Despite that Belial is dead for good; considering the existence of the Devil Splinters in this series, [[ParanoiaFuel this may not be the case]]. As they are revealed to be genetic essences of the fallen Ultra and have scattered across the multiverses. Which means, considering how Celebro is gathering one, there's a possibility that the splinters can be used to revive Belial. Hell, the splinters themselves are shaped like Belial's eyes!
