History Series / UltraSevenX

In the 23rd century, Deus agent Jin has contracted amnesia and is in a strange apartment. Upon waking up, he finds a strange item, the Ultra Eye, in his possession. With it, he can change into the mysterious giant called Ultraseven X. Now, he must fight the alien invaders that threaten his world and figure out the mystery behind his missing memories.

* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: [[spoiler:The Ultras of the M78 universe were unaware of the Grakyess ruling this alternate Earth. Then the Grakyess decided to invade their universe, only to fail miserably and retreat. Cue Series/{{Ultraseven}} following them back to their universe and ultimately annihilating them all.]]
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Well, it ''is'' an Ultra series, but surprisingly {{averted}} most of the time. A lot of the MonsterOfTheWeek are human-sized.

** [[spoiler:Jin himself. He died prior to the start of the series and was resurrected by merging with Ultraseven.]]
* BadassBookworm: Elea Saeki, [[spoiler: Jin's lover,]] is a scientist and while she may not be able to fight like the agents, she's quite proficient with guns.
* BadassCrew: Jin, K, and S are top-of-the-line agents.

* BreatherEpisode: One episode has a non-malicious spacefaring alien, [[LastOfHisKind the final living member of its species]], who attaches itself to Jin's space ''otaku'' friend to take him with it into space as a companion. This is the only episode where absolutely no one gets harmed. In fact, the reason Jin turned into Seven was just to give them a proper sendoff into space.

This is the only episode where absolutely no one gets harmed. In fact, Jin turned into Seven just to give them a proper sendoff into space.

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: The series is actually connected to the original Series/UltraSeven show, however, it is not really clear if it's in continuity with the Showa timeline, the Heisei UltraSeven timeline, or a different continuation of Series/UltraSeven show. The only thing that's clear is the original Series/UltraSeven series happened.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the sixth episode, the bartender at the bar Jin is visiting asks him to bring his girlfriend sometime. Jin replies that he doesn't have one. [[spoiler:In actuality, he does. It's Elea. Jin just doesn't remember due to the nature of his fusion with Seven.]]
* FunWithAcronyms: Averted with DEUS.

* InterSpeciesRomance: Happened between [[spoiler: agent D]] and an [[HumanAliens alien girl]] who was so entranced with earth music that she abandoned her invasion mission. There are two other examples, but they both [[LoveHurts ended in tragedy.]]
* LetteredSequel
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Invoked when K told S that, being agents who are considered nonexistant to the rest of the world, she was the closest thing he had to a wife [[spoiler: right as they prepare for their HeroicSacrifice.]]
* MeaningfulName: One MonsterOfTheWeek is named "Beast Man", and he's one scary alien.
* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:The Grakyess attempted to invade the M78 Universe and failed miserably once they had to face the BadassArmy of Ultras awaiting them, they wasted no time [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere calling it quits and running back to their universe]], with Seven chasing them. Once he ends up in their world, Ultraseven's response is to decide to save ''both'' worlds. It becomes ''very'' apparent during the FinalBattle that the Grakyess never stood a chance of conquering M78, as while three Mecha Grakyess are able to beat Jin as Ultraseven, the fully awakened Ultraseven mops the floor with them, then proceeds to end the Grakyess' occupation of Earth in a matter of ''seconds''.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The fifth episode has the agents help retrieve an alien race's stolen power crystal, which was revealed at the end to be a [[spoiler:[[FantasticNuke planet-destroying bomb]] which they will use to wipe out their rival species. [[DownerEnding Both species' planets end up being destroyed in the ensuing conflict.]]]]

* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:It turns out Ultraseven X is the ''original'' Ultraseven who decided to SaveBothWorlds when the Grakyess tried to invade his world and failed miserably being forced to retreat. Ultras don't seem to naturally exist in the alternate world, and thus most aliens are ill-prepared to go up against him and go down in seconds.]]

* PunchClockVillain: One MonsterOfTheWeek fashions himself as a recruitment agent for his WMD factory and he fights in order to protect his business interests, not an invasion plan. On top of that, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters his clients were Humans]].

* ShoutOut: The eighth episode turns out to be one to [[spoiler:''{{Film/Psycho}}'']]. Jin even explains the film's premise near the end, though he doesn't mention it by name.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The BigBad appears as a group of middle-aged people. [[spoiler: Their true form is a HiveMind of insectile subterranean creatures.]]
* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: [[spoiler:The prime Ultras were unaware of the Grakyess ruling the alternate Earth. Then the Grakyess decided to invade their universe. Cue Ultraseven following them back to their universe and ultimately annihilating them all.]]

!!''Ultra Seven X'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AdaptationalBadass / ArtEvolution: Ultraseven X was given an edgier, sleekier and more-muscular [[{{Heel}} heel-wrestler]] appearance (similar to ones in Japanese ''puroresu''), compared to his original counterparts.

** [[spoiler:Jin himself. He died prior to the start of the series and was resurrected by fusing with Ultra Seven.]]

* TheCameo: In the final episode of the series, [[spoiler:[[Series/UltraSeven Dan Moroboshi (Kohji Moritsugu) and Anne Yuri (Yuriko Hishimi)]] are shown reuniting after Ultra Seven returns to his home universe.]]
* CombatPragmatist: In contrast to other Ultraman shows, this Seven does not pull his punches and often uses his most powerful moves as soon as the battle begins, averting WhyDontYouJustShootHim situations.

* ContemplateOurNavels: Some of the early episodes can feel like this.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: It's CyberPunk, after all.

* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:The Grakyess attempted to invade the prime universe. Ultra Seven's response is to decide to save ''both'' worlds. It becomes ''very'' apparent during the FinalBattle that the Grakyess never stood a chance, as while three Mecha Grakyess are able to beat Jin as Ultraseven, the fully awakened Ultraseven mops the floor with them, then proceeds to end the Grakyess' occupation of Earth in a matter of ''seconds''.]]

* PeaceAndLoveIncorporated: The giant floating TV screens all around the city preaching about how to be a good citizen reeks of it. [[spoiler: These are actually surveillance and attack drones of the BigBad.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The science facility at Lake Nousu accidentally opened a portal into an alternate universe, which the Grakyess, who secretly rule the Earth, plan to utilize to conquer other worlds. However, the universe they reached into is the classic [=M78=] universe, home to the Ultras of the Land of Light. One of them, Ultraseven, came through the portal to stop the Grakyess and bonded with Jin to save his life (which in turn led to Jin's memory loss).]]

* TragicMonster: Quite a few.
* SaveBothWorlds: [[spoiler:Ultraseven ''invokes'' this. When the Grakyess attempted to invade his world, he cuts them off by coming to ''their'' world and trying to save it too.]]

* TransformationTrinket: The Ultra Eye.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Agent R. [[spoiler: Also happens to the main protagonists.]]

* SaveBothWorlds: [[spoiler:Ultra Seven ''invokes'' this. When the Grakyess attempted to invade his world, he cuts them off by coming to ''their'' world and trying to save it too.]]

* VaguenessIsComing: A lot of Elea's dialogue with Jin comes across as this, since it's obvious that she knows much more about what's happening than he does and is withholding the information.

* OutsideGenreFoe: [[spoiler:Inverted: the universe the series is set in seems to be a straight CosmicHorrorStory...then the Grakyess decided to try invading another universe, which turned out to be the Showa timeline and Ultraseven followed them back. It's rather clear they and other aliens in their universe are ill-prepared to deal with a giant Tokusatsu superhero.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the sixth episode, the bartender at the bar Jin is visiting asks him to bring his girlfriend sometime. Jin replies that he doesn't have one. [[spoiler:He does. It's Elea.]]
