The ''Heisei Ultraseven'' is a series of DirectToVideo media published from year 1994 to 2002. It was made by the joint collaboration between Creator/TsuburayaProductions and video services, VAP and NTV. It consists of six specials that was divided into four series, depending on the year it aired.
* The first two specials were ''Operation: Solar Energy'' and ''Planet of the Earthlings'', aired as TV Specials in Nippon Television Network during 1994. The crew behind ''Series/DenkouChoujinGridman'' also participated in the production of both instalments.
* ''Ultraseven 30th Anniversary Trilogy'', consist of three instalments where from this point, the videos are subsequently released on DVD exclusives. It celebrated the 30th anniversary of ''Ultraseven''.
* ''Ultraseven 1999 The Final Chapters Hexalogy'', released in six episodes during the year 1999.
* ''Ultaseven Evolution'', the final instalment to be released, all in five episodes in 2002.
Set in an AlternateUniverse, ''Series/UltraSeven'' features the titular hero as the only known Ultra to have visited and protected Planet Earth, thus disregarding ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' and every series subsequently after ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman''. Seven/Dan returned to Earth 30 years after his final battle with the invaders. During his arrival, Seven fought against the Alien Pitts and Metrons, leftovers from his prime years, but a few instalments deal with his wavering faith in mankind. During that moment, he also took the opportunity to slip into the ranks of the new Ultra Garrison, using their new recruit Masaki Kazamori as his new host.

* CentralTheme: A few of them initially deals with environmental issues to coincide with Japan's environmental awareness back in the 1994. From 1999 and so on, the theme shifted to mankind's self worth and eventually into a full blown [[FantasticRacism xenophobic and prejudice]] against anything that isn't mankind or from Earth.
* CoolCar: The Pointer, just like the ones in the original series. However, recent models lacked any features and being portrayed as simple cars. The model varies within each instalments of the home video series.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The 1999 Hexalogy and the 2002 Evolution Quintology opted for this element, as Seven's trust for mankind started to waver after seeing their negative sides, while also dealing with the prospect of whether mankind was really worthy of being Earth inhabitants.

Despite the Alien Pitt's attempts at enhancing Eleking through their predecessor's past experience and even went as far as to destroy its data from the Ultra Garrison's databank, not only the horn's AchillesHeel feature was still there, but their monster was also deprived of its energy by mankind's solar energy technology.
* CanonImmigrant: Even for an AlternateUniverse setting, the first episode has [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Gesura, Alien Baltan]] and [[Series/UltramanTaro Oil Drinker]] appearing as pictures despite being from different series than ''Seven''.

That is, until Furuhashi cleared the smoke once again.
* FieldPromotion: Furuhashi is the only original member of the Ultra Garrison to be promoted to the rank of captain, leading a new batch of members under his wing.

* ILied: The Alien Metrons tricked a professor named Tonezaki to work with their plans over the underground civilization that was meant for the betterment of mankind, until it was revealed that they never cared for mankind and only wanted the Earth to their own kind.
* IWillWaitForYou: Platonic example: Furuhashi still had his faith in Dan/Seven's return, and despite Seven seemingly disappeared from the Metrons' explosion, he was right that it did not kill Seven right away.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Alien Metrons initially portray themselves as outer space environment activist to Professor Tonezaki for the betterment of Earth and other wildlife, but their plan was revealed to be ruse just to wipe out mankind and all life on Earth, at the same time making Earth as the second home to their kind.
* OneSteveLimit: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Anne named her son as Dan in honor of Ultraseven's human form and the times they spent fighting together in their active years.
* RetiredBadass: Anne left the Ultra Garrison during the 30 year TimeSkip and gave birth to a teenage daughter and a son, the latter she named as Dan. Her husband was absent in the TV Special, but was mentioned to have been on Mars doing research.

* MuggedForDisguise: Dan abducted Kazamori into his capsule and use the young boy's form to slip into the Ultra Garrison, as well as helping them tackling the alien invaders they were fighting against.
* PutOnABus: While a new group of Ultra Garrison was established, their predecessor in the TV Special had long left. Furuhashi gets promoted while Kaji, Togo and Risa were absent. Kaji's case however is explained that his actor went to portray Shinjoh in ''Series/UltramanTiga'' at that same time.
* ShirtlessScene: An amnesiac Dan dreams of himself being shirtless and almost engulfed in flames.
* TragicVillain: Banderas loses it when it was revealed that despite his attempt to prevebt the death of his sun, inhabitants of his solar system had already left for another planet.
* WellIntentionedExtremist:
** Alien Variel plans to save the Planet Earth from pollution, but doing so means he had to resort to brutal invasion and brainwashing.

* BackForTheDead: Dan's Capsule Monsters Miclas and Windam once again appear, especially since the latter had an UnexplainedRecovery after being killed by Alien Guts in Dan's prime years in Ultra Garrison. Unfortunately these two were quickly killed by Zabangi in episode 6 when Dan summoned them against the monster.
* BittersweetEnding: Earth is safe and mankind gets to live for another few years, but the Nonmalts get away even after their claim as the true Earthling was vindicated, as well as Seven being imprisoned in Horsehead Nebula for his trouble in interfering with a civil war between two native civilizations.
* BodySurf: Alien Valkyrie jumps from various hosts to one another, constantly {{Body Surf}}ing between members of the new Ultra Garrisons until it gets to Kazamori, where he allow Dan to shoot him, forcing Valkyrie to be left without a host. Oh and the alien cannot possess Seven for reasons unknown.
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 4 is devoid of alien conflicts and Kaji's meddling with Ultra Garrison, opting for a live action adaptation of the Japanese fairy tale ''Urashima Taro''.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: {{Subverted|Trope}}. After being forced to shoot a Valkyrie-possessed Kazamori, the young man was gravely injured, forcing Seven to impersonated him at the end of the special. [[spoiler:It was revealed in episode 6 that Dan assumed Kazamori's form for a year while the real man recuperated in one of Dan's capsule monsters.]]
* EldritchAbomination:
** Alien Valkyrie's true form is a grotesque monstrosity, far from his namesake origin. Dan even lampshades that his true form is very much a reflection of his ugly heart.
** The benevolent Alien Kyuloo's true form was never revealed, except as a shadow which portrayed him as a figure with messy textures.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Zabangi, the monster in the final episode.
* FantasticNuke: The Operation: Friendship launched by TDF involves launching interstellar ballistic missiles to destroy planets with intelligent lifeforms which were deemed to be potential threats to mankind. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} that it was all a ruse for Kaji and his radical TDF factions to set up TDF bases on planets they bombarded]].
* FantasticRacism: Kaji as part of his TookALevelInJerkass due to losing a loved one in the past. The appearing aliens are also accounted for, except for Alien Kyuloo that is.
* GovernmentConspiracy: [[spoiler:The TDF's Omega File, which established mankind's predecessors as true invaders who overthrowed the Nonmalts in the past as the dominant race on Earth. Kaji and TDF's Public Security Bureau went through extreme lengths to silence everyone who knew the secret, including former Ultra Garrison captain Kiriyama]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Off-screen, [[spoiler:former Ultra Garrison captain Kiriyama was executed by Kaji's men in order to silence those who knew the contents of the Omega File]].
* HumongousMecha:
** Alien Kyuloo's Daitekkai robot, which the Alien Galo repaired and hijacked for invasion purposes.
** Once again, Dan has Windam as his {{Mons}} deployed whenever he found himself in trouble.
** TDF attempted to rebuild King Joe into their fighting force, only for the Rajakahm Stone to turn the robot berserk.
* TheLostLenore: Kaji lost his girlfriend (and is implied to have lost Togo and Risa as well) in an unnamed alien attack. It turns him into the current GeneralRipper that is a full blown departure from how he was in the 1994 TV Specials.
* MushroomMan: Alien Lemojo's true form are sentient humanoid fungus.
* SpidersAreScary: The Alien Galo are alien spiders who mind control humans to blend in with the society by latching into their host's head.
* SurvivorsGuilt: Again Kaji, for the above reasons.
* TimeSkip: As revealed in episode 1, several years had passed since Banderas' fight. Episode 6 (the final part of the hexalogy) established Seven had been in Kazamri's disguise for a year ever since that Valkyrie incident.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Also Kaji, for the above reasons.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The Rajakahm Stone created a clone of Kaji based on the darkness of his hearts, who boasted the fact that he was only for the genocide against aliens for the mankind supremacy. When Kaji shouted that King Joe is a robot of destruction, it only gets worse as the stone possessed the robot into a rampaging machine on the run.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A lot of them, but it only escalated into a cycle of hatred against one another.
** After losing his girlfriend from an alien attack, Kaji initiated the plan to execute aliens and other invaders mercilessly to protect mankind from experiencing the same loss as he did. Unfortunately its buried under his newfound war hawk tendencies.
** When mankind initiated Operation: Friendship by blowing up planets with potential alien enemies, Alien Valkyrie was the first to attack by discrediting the Ultra Garrison publicly through a series of possessions.
** The Alien Galo, while relatively a villain fron the start, they also took their intervention like Valkyrie after Earth has become a planet that pick up a fight against the outer space.
** The greatest holder of this trope is the Nonmalts when their claims for being the real Earthling before mankind did was proven through the Omega Files, hence beginning their hostile takeover of the surface dwellers (humans).
* YouShallNotPass: All of these happening in Episode 6, so spoiler alert...
** [[spoiler:To prevent Zabangi from interrupting the transmission of the Omega Files by destroying the radio station, Windam and Miclas were summoned by Seven to halt the monster]].
** [[spoiler:At that same time, Kaji and his men try to stop Seven from advancing to the Omega Files to no avail. After chancellor Takenaka approved the transfer of said file, Kaji did his final stand against Seven and was quickly tossed aside like a rag doll]].

* DarkIsNotEvil: The retired (and now fugitive) Kazamori has remnants of Ultraseven's powers, dressed in all black and even hostile to the current Ultra Garrison as he is well aware that a traitor is among the TDF's ranks. Despite this, he is still the hero and the aliens fear him for bearing Seven's power.
* EvilCounterpart: Alien Garut is one to Ultraseven: both share the same occupation (constant point observers) and were captivated by Planet Earth and its culture. However while Seven resolve to protect the planet and its people, Garut wanted to invade and conquer the planet through (il)legal means.

* ThePowerOfHate: Neo Pandon is controlled by a device which the user channeled his hatred to guide the monster into attacking. Without it, Neo Pandon can remain as a docile monster that wouldn't hurt a fly.

* SharingABody: Kazamori merged with Seven a la Shin Hayata with Ultraman from their fight against Neo Pandon.

* WalkingTheEarth: The entire series as a whole ended with Kazamori leaving to parts unknown while still retaining his merger with Ultraseven.

* BittersweetEnding: Earth is safe and mankind gets to live for another few years, but the Nonmalts get away even after their claim as the true Earthling was vindicated, as well as Seven being imprisoned in Horsehead Nebula for his trouble in interfering with a civil war between two native civilizations.
* BodySurf: Alien Valkyrie jumps from various hosts to one another, constantly {{Body Surf}}ing between members of the new Ultra Garrisons until it gets to Kazamori, where he allow Dan to shoot him, forcing Valkyrie to be left without a host. Oh and the alien cannot possess Seven for reasons unknown.
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 4 is devoid of alien conflicts and Kaji's meddling with Ultra Garrison, opting for a live action adaptation of the Japanese fairy tale ''Urashima Taro''.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: {{Subverted|Trope}}. After being forced to shoot a Valkyrie-possessed Kazamori, the young man was gravely injured, forcing Seven to impersonated him at the end of the special. [[spoiler:It was revealed in episode 6 that Dan assumed Kazamori's form for a year while the real man recuperated in one of Dan's capsule monsters.]]
* EldritchAbomination:
** Alien Valkyrie's true form is a grotesque monstrosity, far from his namesake origin. Dan even lampshades that his true form is very much a reflection of his ugly heart.
** The benevolent Alien Kyuloo's true form was never revealed, except as a shadow which portrayed him as a figure with messy textures.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Zabangi, the monster in the final episode.
* FantasticNuke: The Operation: Friendship launched by TDF involves launching interstellar ballistic missiles to destroy planets with intelligent lifeforms which were deemed to be potential threats to mankind. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} that it was all a ruse for Kaji and his radical TDF factions to set up TDF bases on planets they bombarded]].
* FantasticRacism: Kaji as part of his TookALevelInJerkass due to losing a loved one in the past. The appearing aliens are also accounted for, except for Alien Kyuloo that is.
* GovernmentConspiracy: [[spoiler:The TDF's Omega File, which established mankind's predecessors as true invaders who overthrowed the Nonmalts in the past as the dominant race on Earth. Kaji and TDF's Public Security Bureau went through extreme lengths to silence everyone who knew the secret, including former Ultra Garrison captain Kiriyama]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Off-screen, [[spoiler:former Ultra Garrison captain Kiriyama was executed by Kaji's men in order to silence those who knew the contents of the Omega File]].
* HumongousMecha:
** Alien Kyuloo's Daitekkai robot, which the Alien Galo repaired and hijacked for invasion purposes.
** Once again, Dan has Windam as his {{Mons}} deployed whenever he found himself in trouble.
** TDF attempted to rebuild King Joe into their fighting force, only for the Rajakahm Stone to turn the robot berserk.
* TheLostLenore: Kaji lost his girlfriend (and is implied to have lost Togo and Risa as well) in an unnamed alien attack. It turns him into the current GeneralRipper that is a full blown departure from how he was in the 1994 TV Specials.
* MushroomMan: Alien Lemojo's true form are sentient humanoid fungus.
* SpidersAreScary: The Alien Galo are alien spiders who mind control humans to blend in with the society by latching into their host's head.
* SurvivorsGuilt: Again Kaji, for the above reasons.
* TimeSkip: As revealed in episode 1, several years had passed since Banderas' fight. Episode 6 (the final part of the hexalogy) established Seven had been in Kazamri's disguise for a year ever since that Valkyrie incident.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Also Kaji, for the above reasons.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The Rajakahm Stone created a clone of Kaji based on the darkness of his hearts, who boasted the fact that he was only for the genocide against aliens for the mankind supremacy. When Kaji shouted that King Joe is a robot of destruction, it only gets worse as the stone possessed the robot into a rampaging machine on the run.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: A lot of them, but it only escalated into a cycle of hatred against one another.
** After losing his girlfriend from an alien attack, Kaji initiated the plan to execute aliens and other invaders mercilessly to protect mankind from experiencing the same loss as he did. Unfortunately its buried under his newfound war hawk tendencies.
** When mankind initiated Operation: Friendship by blowing up planets with potential alien enemies, Alien Valkyrie was the first to attack by discrediting the Ultra Garrison publicly through a series of possessions.
** The Alien Galo, while relatively a villain fron the start, they also took their intervention like Valkyrie after Earth has become a planet that pick up a fight against the outer space.
** The greatest holder of this trope is the Nonmalts when their claims for being the real Earthling before mankind did was proven through the Omega Files, hence beginning their hostile takeover of the surface dwellers (humans).
* YouShallNotPass: All of these happening in Episode 6, so spoiler alert...
** [[spoiler:To prevent Zabangi from interrupting the transmission of the Omega Files by destroying the radio station, Windam and Miclas were summoned by Seven to halt the monster]].
** [[spoiler:At that same time, Kaji and his men try to stop Seven from advancing to the Omega Files to no avail. After chancellor Takenaka approved the transfer of said file, Kaji did his final stand against Seven and was quickly tossed aside like a rag doll]].

[[folder:''Ultraseven Evolution'']]
* BigBad: For the first time in this series, the defining one appears to none other than Alien Garut.
* CameBackStrong: The Neo Pandon is the Alien Ghost's revived Pandon who posed as a greater threat than it previously portrayed in the past.
* CreepyChild: The ESPer children are all willing to use force to fight against the adults and are also not above the act of murder.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The retired (and now fugitive) Kazamori has remnants of Ultraseven's powers, dressed in all black and even hostile to the current Ultra Garrison as he is well aware that a traitor is among the TDF's ranks. Despite this, he is still the hero and the aliens fear him for bearing Seven's power.
* EvilCounterpart: Alien Garut is one to Ultraseven: both share the same occupation (constant point observers) and were captivated by Planet Earth and its culture. However while Seven resolve to protect the planet and its people, Garut wanted to invade and conquer the planet through (il)legal means.
* TheHeroDies: Satomi was killed by the psychic children, but her death also allowed her cavader to be converted into energy for Seven to escape his prison and finally heading for Earth.
