** Yapool's original concept art, as designed by Akihiko Iguchi, is even weirder than the one from the final product. Iguchi initially envisions Yapool as another StarfishAlien based on lionfishes to be portrayed via puppetry, looking ''nothing'' like the Yapool fans are familiar with ([[https://kaijukompendium.design.blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/screen-shot-2022-07-04-at-1.35.19-am.png Iguchi's proposed sketch]]).

* NamesTheSame: The Cactus Choju Sabotendar shares its name with a recurring cactus monster from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, though the ''Final Fantasy'' monster is more commonly called "Cactuar" in English.

** The titular Ultra himself looks pretty... odd in his [[https://ultrablogdx.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/201811281.png initial draft]]. It seems like the original design for Ace is a combination of Series/{{Ultraseven}} and [[Series/ReturnOfUltraman Ultraman Jack]] before he gets retooled.

Fan Nickname is now a YMMV trope.

* FanNickname: Due to the fact that many of the eponymous hero's abilities involve cutting and dismembering (and ''a lot'' of monsters in the series get chopped up), Ace is sometimes called the "Guillotine Prince" by Japanese fans.

** Ace was originally designed rather androgynously, with feminine features on the facial area and longer "hair" parts, with a gladiator breastplate on the upper torso. However this design was abandoned. However, a more angelic version of Ace features in Ultraman: Another Genesis, and actually stars as a Goddess.

** Many, many, many chojus from the developmental stages looked strikingly different than those depicted in the final product, as seen in the [[https://chernobog13.tumblr.com/tagged/Choju behind-the-scenes sketches from Tsuburaya's concept artbook]]. Notably Gasegon would have larger and puffier cheeks, Coakes had a single green visor-like Cyclopean eye, Bad Balloon's snout would've been ''much'' longer than the version in the show (imagine an elephant's trunk), Fubugirara would've fought Ace using a tree as an ImprovisedWeapon, Garan and Alien Fire are skinnier compared to their onscreen versions, and most jarring of all, one of the chojus appearing in the artbook - a kappa-like monster - never made it into the show proper. (Although it can be assumed that the kappa monster was ultimately replaced by Dreamgillas, due to Tsuburaya recycling the Red Jack suit and the battle being in a lake arena, a setting usually associated with kappa.)
