* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: To western viewers, the Ultra Series seems goofy and stereotypical, and insignificant compared to such franchises as ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movies, as well as the vast amounts of anime and manga, but it cannot be understated how big it was in Japan when its first shows were airing (we're talking ratings of 25-40% of viewers; and it's still quite beloved today) and how much it has influenced anime, superhero, and kaiju series, as well as video games, in Japan.

Due to the [[NoBudget low budgets]] of the New Generation era (i.e. ''Series/UltramanGinga'' through ''Series/UltramanDecker''), the shows have been forced to use a lot of PropRecycling. As a result, Gubila, a relatively unpopular one-off kaiju from the original ''Series/Ultraman'', ended up being used four shows in a row, rivaling iconic kaiju like Gomora, Red King, and Zetton. While it hasn't appeared as much afer ''Series/UltramanRB'', the fandom still cracks jokes about how Gubila is guaranteed to appear in every series.
