* StylisticSuck: Much like its inspiration, ''Ultra Fight'', the entire series runs on this, with incredibly obvious dummies, laughable special effects, fight scenes filmed in [[BBCQuarry BBC Quarries]] (in a style that does not account for the giant size of the combatants) instead of on miniature sets, and sissy-fights, all which are done deliberately which contributes to the cheesy charm of the show. For instance, the scene where Jugglus Juggler gets picked up by a kaiju is done with a ''[[OffTheShelfFX toy]]'' of Jugglus.

* CallBack: The series features a few kaiju that made cameo appearances in ''Ultraman Z'', namely Jirass, Dancan and Satan Beetle, thus showing how STORAGE encountered them in the first place. [[spoiler:Subverted for Satan Beetle, as STORAGE only encountered it after its cameo as a component of Destrudos.]]



* {{Kaiju}}

to:

* {{Kaiju}}{{Kaiju}}: The series features a variety of kaiju as Sevenger's opponents. Of note is that many of them are kaijus that had never appeared outside of their home series before, such as Jirass, Dancan, Gandar and Satan Beetle.

Inspired by Tsuburaya's vintage ''Ultra Fight'' series, following the same aesthetics (and with deliberate StylisticSuck applied) the miniseries had Sevenger from the show stumbling into various random kaiju (and occasionally, alien) encounters and beating up monsters before the end of each episode.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Most likely done on purpose, due to the show's limited budget and cheesiness appeal, but at no point did Sevengar or any of the monsters featured attempt to use their ranged attacks against each other. Granted, an episode had Haruki commenting that Sevengar's RocketPunch couldn't work because it's operating in an alien atmosphere, but what about it's missiles, guns and drill? Or the monsters forgetting their abilities to [[BreathWeapon breath fire, energy blasts]], or Eleking's electrical discharge?

Whoops, nearly entered the Redundancy Department over there


** Later on, Sevenger attempts to hold off Eleking by throwing rocks at it... while Eleking chases after Sevenger while brandishing an M16 Machine gun. (ItMakesSenseInContext, ok?)

''Sevenger Fight'' is a spin-off miniseries from ''Series/UltramanZ'' produced by Tsuburaya, as part of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries''.

Inspired by Tsuburaya's vintage ''Ultra Fight'' series, following the same aesthetics (and with deliberate StylisticSuck applied) the miniseries had Sevenger from the show stumbling into various random kaiju (and occasionally, alien) encounters and beating up monsters before the end of each episode.

Contains numerous {{Call Back}}s towards ''Series/UltramanLeo'', in which Sevenger gets to fight quite a few enemies from Leo's series -- a reference towards Sevenger's debut being the series itself.

----
!!''Sevenger Ready to Engage!''

* {{BFG}}: The third episode actually had Sevenger -- itself a kaiju-sized mech -- holding an M16 Machine gun. Subverted when the gun turns out to be faulty and fails to fire, however.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Jugglus Juggler and Ultraman Z arriving to assist Sevengar, who was outnumbered by four other kaijus.
** [[spoiler: ''Series/UltramanLeo'']] showing up in the final episode.
* BoulderBludgeon:
** The fight between Hellzking and Sevengar had both giant mechs flinging rocks at each other. Rocks obviously made of styrofoam, but it's the hilarity that counts.
** Later on, Sevenger attempts to hold off Eleking by throwing rocks at it... while Eleking chases after Sevenger while brandishing an M16 Machine gun. (ItMakesSenseInContext, ok?)
* CanonForeigner: One of the featured monsters is "Beam Missile King", debuting from Ultra Heroes EXPO THE LIVE, a stageshow hosted by Tsuburaya themselves.
* CombatCommentator: The STORAGE crew basically serves this purpose in the series, with Haruki or Yohko piloting Sevenger to fight a monster, while the rest of the cast provides commentary on the sidelines (with Haruki or Yohko discussing the status of the fight mid-battle).
* ADayInTheLimelight: For Sevengar, who's a supporting player in ''Series/UltramanZ'', now promoted to a titular character. But then again Ultraman Z and [[spoiler: Ultraman Leo]] does show up in two episodes with major roles attached.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Despite the low budget, the show ''somehow'' managed to pull this off, with a few defeated monsters actually blowing up with practical effects employed. Including Icarus, Pandon, Beam Missile King, and a few others.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Most likely done on purpose, due to the show's limited budget and cheesiness appeal, but at no point did Sevengar or any of the monsters featured attempt to use their ranged attacks against each other. Granted, an episode had Haruki commenting that Sevengar's RocketPunch couldn't work because it's operating in an alien atmosphere, but what about it's missiles, guns and drill? Or the monsters forgetting their abilities to [[BreathWeapon breath fire, energy blasts]], or Eleking's electrical discharge?
** It's even more jarring with Gandar, who gets executed alongside Icarus and Garamon by being pushed off a cliff. Gandar ''can fly''.
* GiantFootOfStomping: An episode had Sevenger befriending a Pigmon, only for Pigmon to be stepped on by one of two Garamons who suddenly attacked (in a non-graphical manner, however). Cue Sevenger pulling off a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* HumongousMecha: Sevenger himself (''duh''), the giant STORAGE mecha piloted by Haruki, who earns the spotlight as the main hero. There's also the re-introduction of Hellzking from ''Series/UltramanCosmos'' and a new mecha-kaiju called Beam Missile King.
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: One of the most ridiculous episodes have Sevenger trying to use an M16 on an Eleking, only for the weapon to jam before being picked up by the kaiju. Cue Eleking chasing Sevenger while holding the machine-gun, before it fires off a shot... just as Eleking is pointing it's tip at his own face. Whoops.
* {{Kaiju}}
* LetsYouAndHimFight: One episode had Sevengar spying on an Eleking and a Gazort fighting each other (after the Gazort accidentally stepped on Eleking's tail), with Haruki and the STORAGE crew making remarks and comments during the battle. However Sevengar gets dragged into the fight when it accidentally snuck a little too close to the monsters.
* MythologyGag:
** The first episode has Sevenger fighting Jirass from the original ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', which ends with Sevenger ripping off Jirass' frill and using it to taunt the monster, matador-style, just like Ultraman did in Jirass' original debut.
** Sevenger fighting alongside [[spoiler: Ultraman Leo]] is an obvious nod to Sevenger himself debuting way back in the Ultra's series. Not to mention enemies from the show such as Alien Kettle, Satan Beetle, Alien Akumania and Alien Boze showing up in several episodes.
* StylisticSuck: Much like its inspiration, ''Ultra Fight'', the entire series runs on this, with incredibly obvious dummies, laughable special effects, sissy-fights, all which are done deliberately which contributes to the cheesy charm of the show. For instance, the scene where Jugglus Juggler gets picked up by a kaiju is done with a ''toy'' of Jugglus.
* ToWinWithoutFighting: Sevenger's fight against Dancan culminates with Sevenger taking down the monster... by rubbing its belly and putting it to sleep.
* WimpFight: Basically 90% of the action scenes, which had Sevenger and the monster(s) of each episode flailing ridiculously at each other before Haruki or Yohko (piloting Sevenger) decide to execute a finishing move because the episode's near the end of it's runtime.
* WingdingEyes: A rare live-action example occurs when Sevenger gets anime-style swirly eyes after being confused by the two Garamons running circles around him.
