History YMMV / UltramanDyna

* ToughActToFollow: ''Dyna''[='=]s fall into obscurity seems to be attributable to this, given that as the LighterAndSofter SequelSeries to ''Series/UltramanTiga'', one of the best-loved Ultra series, it didn't quite win over fans quite like ''Tiga'' did. ''Then'' got sandwiched by ''Series/UltramanGaia'', which became popular by its own merit (and being set in separate universe, avoided unfavorable comparisons), certainly didn't help.

** Hanejiro's real name was revealed in a later episode as Pamu, hence his PokemonSpeak of "Pamu". One of the Energy Fairy in ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'' (which semi-concurrently aired with ''Dyna's'' spiritual-remake/celebration series, ''Series/UltramanDecker'', no less) is named Pam-Pam, or if you call her with katakana pronunciation, ''Pamu-Pamu''. Parodied for all it's worth [[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/96885135 here.]]

** While this series was often considered SoOkayItsAverage ''at best'' (being a sequel to [[{{Pun}} ultra]] popular ''Series/UltramanTiga'', ''then'' got sandwiched by well-received ''Series/UltramanGaia'' certainly didn't work in it's favor), it's New Generation iteration, ''Series/UltramanDecker'' is considerably better received than ''Tiga'''s New Generation iteration ''Series/UltramanTriggerNewGenerationTiga''. Even more so, the story's tone also got another way around. While ''Dyna'' was LighterAndSofter compared to ''Tiga'', ''Decker'' was DarkerAndEdgier compared to ''Trigger''.

* UnfortunateImplications: Episode 10 has the Zenekindarlians conduct their evil… around a Star of David.

** Imitation Ultraman Dyna[[spoiler:/Gregorl-Man]], due to the [[EvilIsCool gold and black on the blue details]] [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes other than his eyebags]]. 10 points if you include his trademark AssKickingPose.

* HarsherInHindsight: In episode 19, Mai joked that Asuka would never get a girlfriend since he always thinking about monsters. [[spoiler:With the final episode has Asuka (as Dyna no less) absorbed into a wormhole created from Gransphire's destruction, which means he won't ever have a normal life because Asuka is now hundreds of years old (per his actor's words), having travelled through various dimensions to fight evil due to his dedication as an Ultraman, even if it means he won't be coming back home much]].

** "The Ghost Space Ship": [[EldritchAbomination Zombayu]] ("[[LivingShip Ghost Ship Monster]]") has haunted the galaxy for millennia, going from planet to planet and [[YourSoulIsMine stealing the souls]] of their inhabitants to feed itself. Eventually, the entity came across an Alien Shilback Vessel, [[SoulEating devoured the souls]] of everyone on it, and took the ship as its new form. Coming to Earth, it went from city to city devouring the souls of everyone it came across, including Super Guts officer Ryo Yumimura. When the heroes managed to get inside the monster ship, it reanimated one of its Alien Shilback victims as a mindless servant to stop them. Near the end of the fight with Dyna, it attempts to drain the soul of Dyna and flee into space with all of its victims to try to continue its rampage across the Stars.

* CompleteMonster: "The Supreme Ruler Who Sleeps on the Moon": [[NephariousPharaoh Alien Nuaza Eshilis]] ("[[GalacticConqueror Space Emperor]]") was the last of the Space Emperors who were known for their bloody campaign of conquest, death, and destruction on numerous planets since ancient times and adopted a belief that [[TheSocialDarwinist those in power have the duty to purge the weak]]. His reign of terror seemingly came to an end when his assassins betrayed and killed him. However, his spirit lived on in the afterlife. In the modern era, Super GUTS officer Kouhei Kariya and TPC archaeological members investigated on his tomb, giving Eshilis the opportunity to [[DemonicPossession possess]] Kariya and sabotage Super GUTS' HQ to enact his plan to destroy the Earth by [[ColonyDrop having the moon crash onto the planet]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Aside from Shin Asuka sharing his name with a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Mobile Suit pilot]], his actor is also a fan of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''!

* BrokenBase: In ''Ultraman Chronicle Z'', scenes containing Shin Asuka's appearances were edited out, which caused an uproar between fans and even the actor himself, who admitted that he was not informed of this happening.

* AmericansHateTingle: Not the show but lead actor Takeshi Tsuruno. Not unlike, say, the ''VideoGame/{{Hearthstone}}'' Blitzchung incident, Tsuruno [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment became a controversial figure in China in early 2021 for making pro-Hong Kong statements]] on Website/{{Twitter}}; his scenes were edited out of ''Ultraman Chronicle Z'' likely to avoid getting BannedInChina as a result.

* AmericansHateTingle: Not the show but the actor Takeshi Tsuruno who has [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment shared some political opinions we will not get into here]] he's a much more controversial figure in China. This may have been the reason he was cut out of the ''Ultraman Chronicle Z'' showing off his old episodes.

** Takeshi Tsuruno performed the opening theme of ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger''. Take note that Tsuruno himself is also a singer.
