Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* Ultraman with his Type-A mask was the stuff of nightmares, the elongated, wrinkled face and mouth agape made things worse in an UncannyValley way. This is not helped by how the suit lacks padding, making him seem unnaturally lean and alien. Compare and contrast his later appearances, especially the Type-C mask with the more muscular body.

* Jamila from "My Home Is Earth" used to be a man who went missing during a space mission sent by "the other guys"[[note]]implied to be France, as his memorial plaque was written in French[[/note]]. What got back to Earth was a [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely human monstrosity]] with a desire for revenge against Earthlings and pyrotechnic powers to match. His wail is unsettling, terrifying, and otherworldly at the same time. His death by drowning is heartbreaking.

* Zetton, while cool, is a very unsettling foe, with its emotionless, robotic movements, NoSell of Ultraman's skills, [[TheBlank lack of a true face]] and the creepy beeping sounds and PokemonSpeak in a deep voice creating the effect of an unstoppable, merciless killing machine. The monster would traumatise many Japanese children, including future ''Ultra Series'' director Kiyotaka Taguchi, who would base [[Series/UltramanX Greeza]] on his traumatic image of Zetton.

* Mummy Man and his feral face with white eyes was more angry ape than Imhotep. Lucky for the Science Patrol, it didn't last long.

** The sepia-toned interrogation and torture of Hayata

* Ultraman's DisneyDeath at the hands of Zetton: EyeLightsOut, standing still briefly, then passing out with a blinking Color Timer, screen in monochrome, dramatic music, sun overhead. Speaking of overhead, there's a bird's eye view of our dying hero to make it all worse. He got better, though.

Terrified shoppers and policemen call the Science Patrol to report a horrible monstrosity at a department store, [[BaitAndSwitch a kaijuu who ended up being... a sleeping Pigmon who went in the store and dozed off, fascinated by his wind-up toy likeness!]] Even more hilarious, the kid who points out Pigmon looks a lot like Hideki Yamaguchi AKA [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Jiro Sakata]].
